Diamond Ring

Question: Girls, is it really important that a guy gives you a diamond ring? engagement/wedding ring?

I am against putting a price on a relationship, which is exactly what you do when you buy a girl expensive jewelry. I also hate the fact that most of the diamonds available are blood diamonds. I don& #039;t want to buy my wife something that has cost another person their life/ freedom. Its immoral, and I think that girls who really want a diamond from their husband/ bf are gold- diggers w/ no heart. Why are diamonds such an & quot;OMG HE LOVES ME& quot; type of thing? Why can& #039;t you just be happy with our word? M Spending all night loving just who you are: You really are a selfishbitch if you think that your happiness and feeling of & quot;being loved& quot; come from material objects, especially ones that cost someone else their freedom. Fcuk girls like you, you can have other guys that will buy it for you. Gold- digging assbitch!

"I also hate the fact that most of the diamonds available are blood diamonds. I don 't want to buy my wife something that has cost another person their life/ freedom " Dude I love you. I told my girlfriend from the beginning if this ever goes anywhere I think its fair to warn you now that I wont buy you a diamonds or get you a diamond ring for engagement. Dude props for being world aware.

My friend says that "Isn 't it more important that he loves you and that your marriage will last? Diamonds do not mean I love you. Cleaning up your puke after you throw up from the stomach flu means I love you. ". I say " I don 't care. Im not going to get married. I prefer onyx. "

First of all, I love this question! It depends on the girl and since I don 't know your girl, this is difficult for me to say. Is she a hopeless romantic? Try casually walking by a jewelry store in a mall or something and pay attention to the type of jewelry she likes. Also, you can find diamonds that are certified non conflict (blood) diamonds. You can even get diamonds from canada believe it or not. It 's not that we need it to know that you love us, we just like being reminded... a lot. Its not our fault we were born with two X chromosomes haha. You should know your girl better than anyone else. Ask her if you have to... ;) good luck!

It 's because society has shaped women how they are today. Society has convinced them that a man only loves you as much as he can spend on you. If a man buys a woman something that is $10,000 and serves no purpose other than to look pretty... well he must love her a whoooooole lot, because he traded the usefulness of $10,000 for something that does nothing but signify his affection for the woman. He sacrificed $10,000 of usefulness to her. I agree that it is an outdated, and immoral practice, especially in the light of "equality " of genders. Men aren 't supposed to "provide and protect " women anymore... we 're both supposed to have jobs, we 're both supposed to be equal contributors to th finances of a relationship. And yes, to add to that, 99% of the diamonds you can find are blood diamonds. The "rules and regulations " they try to enforce, and the labels of "non-blood diamond " that they put on some diamonds are largely lies to make us feel better about our selfishness. In almost all respects... getting a diamond for someone is a shady and immoral thing to do. However, most women will insist upon it... and if something can make her happy, it 's worth it to most people. I however, won 't even date a woman who demands those types of things.

I only wear certified diamonds. these have authenticity papers that prove they are not blood diamonds. as an engagement ring i want a saphire, studded with diamonds on a silver band. it 's the engagement ring i 've dreamed of since i was little. i 'm not a gold digger, but it is very important to me. do you not give gifts on holidays or birthdays either? it seams like you 're the one without a heart. most girls spend their lives dreaming of the perfect guy/ relationship/ ring/ dress/ wedding. so if she 's picked you, you owe it to her to suck it up and buy a ring just so you know if you dont buy your girl an engagement ring chances are she 'll find someone whos not cheap. and, seeing as you dont understand giving, someone who 's not a jerk

Many girls in this society loves diamonds,etc, a girl 's bestfriend, which I don 't get. Money doesn 't give you happiness, you can be rich but you could still feel lonely. Diamonds and money shouldn 't matter much to a girl if they really love you, your important in their view not the materials. It 's ironic for a girl to dislike their guy 's actions for not giving them what they want (expensive gifts), those are golddiggers. But i also know other girls that don 't look for that, most girls just want a man that actually loves them, of course we don 't want to be with a poor guy either, just the right amount.. but the most important thing is the love itself. Your girl shouldn 't be affected much, yea she 'll probably love a diamond a lot, since is a 'beautiful ' thing, but if she truly loves you, she should understand and be grateful she has you. The most important thing in this world are relationships not materials, before we die, we don 't want to see our trophy, awards, diamonds, etc, we want to see our loved ones before we take our last breath. Anyways true girls shouldn 't think is that important, atleast you got a ring, your thoughts should mean more than those things, as long you show your love then it 's okay.

Id rather he picked something I would like because he knows me that well. I.e Anything white gold. Diamonds are nice because they are so pretty and not all are blood diamonds its very easy to find none blood diamonds, in fact reputable suppliers WONT sell blood diamonds they are illegal. But I wouldnt die if he got me say a Garnet engagement ring.. :D

Im not a gold digger and i could really care less about what size the diamond is but it is tradition and the fact that the ring symbolizes the relationship cuz if you give her a cheap crappy ring that means the relationship and commitment is crappy thats my gues but ya i really dont care about rings and all tht
