    engagement rings/what we expect in return
    Me and my girl had a brief discussion on this. If a guy spends 15k instead of 5k on a ring for is girl..is he not probably doing so to win her heart and loyalty to him??

    He would probably be doing so because he is dumb and has too much money. Just my theory.

    I'll drop 15k on a woman when we are talking about kidney transplants, not jewelry.

      Dumbest fukking thread. Ever.

      Putting you on my ignore list, judging from your other threads you seem fully capable of mass producing idiotic queries based on reasoning like a 14 year old.

      Either your Financée is a unique snowflake, and by that I mean she is capable of being even dumber than you are. If she is just marginaly smarter than you, she's gonna dump you.

        some people are pimple faced geeks...take your acne meds. Now onto non pimple faced geeks, do we as guys spend that extra money looking for something?? Is it to capture her heart/possess her in some ways..is it like the attraction to us. Why would guys spend that 15 grand instead of five...

          I only paid 3k for my now wife's engagement ring 8 years ago. I had a custom ring done with an emerald(my birthstone) on each side of the diamond. I think her knowing that the ring was custom and one of a kid made it more important than it being of high cost. Rings are ridiculously overpriced in the first place.

            Same here. I spent about 3k on a custom sapphire birthstone with 1 diamond on each side. She has gotten more random compliments on that than women walking around with traditional rings 4 times as expensive.

                Women want fat rocks. It makes them feel important. Instead of investing 4k in a ring.... invest 4k in some implants.

                  She could be a trophy wife or a woman that is high maintenance.

                    My wife does too because it is something unique that most people had never seen and then there is also a bit of a story behind it's origin other than "My husband paid 20 grand for it"

                        Spending 15K on a ring is probably the only way you can get a girl.

                                  probably the most true thing ever said.

                                  Most girls need to be able to compare you to their friends and NEED their friends to accept you, even more than they need to accept you. Remember, if you treat women like children, they're easy. If you treat them as equals, they're not interested.
