Sounds like a light, uplifting read


This is one of the first things that is addressed. While it sounds cynical it isn't meant to be.

I thought it was 3 or 4 month's salary? Either way that's ridiculous

They made connections with magazines and movie producers who started putting them on models and movie stars.


And what did they have in common?

Just a FYI for those of you young bucks out there thinking about buying a ring, don't spend a bunch of money on that shite.




Ok I'll just forward your post to her and she'll understand.

While we're at it, let's cancel out Valetine's Day, Mother's day, and gift giving on Christmas.

I’m sure the young girls they are trying to marry will see how reasonable this is and be able to understand



I've had this conversation with my girlfriend. She is okay with a "fake" diamond. I don't know whether to believe her or not.

Also, none of it matters. If your girl wants a diamond and you want to keep her around, you’re buying a diamond.


If she’s work a frick the diamond won’t matter! Bought my wife a $388 engagement ring 27 yrs ago cuz that’s ALL I could afford. 5 yr anniversary bought her $1500 upgrade. 27 yrs of marriage she still wears the $1500 ring and could give 2 shits about the size of the diamond! She does care that I provide for our family, love her and treat her like it! But hey several of her girlfriends were able to sale their big arse rock after the divorce, so there’s that!!

What are you talking about? You’ve never “owned” me, or anyone i’ve Observed for that matter. You always run (well, roll) from my challenge because you are a craven whelp without honor.

Bought a high quality diamond in high school for 22k. Was appraised when I put it in ring for my now wife, 62k.

I probably shouldn't have done that.
