unless you're a millionaire don't get a real diamond


lab grown or moissanite are way better options and you'll never tell the difference

you would have more fun if you just opened your hotel room window and threw that money out of it, srs

well at least when they get divorced he can get about 25% of the value back on the ring.

I didn't get her a ring; we just went and got married.
Screw nature; my body will do what I DAMN WELL tell it to do!

$5.4k Is the national average. You can get a FINE ring for $5K. Moisonite is cooler, ethical, and better on cash.

Since you're traveling, do what I did...buy a second $200 right and propose with that.

I did that and my wife LOVED it

Don't travel with a $5K ring stowed away

every day, another cuck is born

imagine having to buy some sloot a fancy ring for her to show off on social media just so she will continue to like you

once the novelty wears off, pepper thy angus

I suggest you transfer your assets to a family member you trust. Like a granny so you can technically inherit them

Don't spend more than I did - AUD$12. $2 for the coin and $10 for a guy to turn it into a ring. Apparently inflation puts it at $25.97 now.

is there anything more cucked than buying a woman an expensive ring? if you must marry it shouldn't be anything more than a 200-300 symbolic ring.

Unless your NW is at least 500K+ spending that much on a ring is insane.

Lmao at dropping 25k on a ring when with a 500k net worth

I'm 30 net worth within the hundreds of thousands already...and a sloot might get a weekend trip to Toronto from me

I think sloots are attracted to my basic Ness, its like im not trying too hard...and I'm buy no means cheap either


Dropping 25k ain't gonna make your marriage any better

Go on a vacation for that much money. You both get something out of it. My gf tells me to never buy expensive meaningless chit and use the money for us to travel

Price on the ring depends on your finances. Location depends on the type of person your with. You don't have to pepper your angus but you should always have a backup plan.


I think jewelry is dumb, diamonds are dumb, etc. I don't and have never worn any kind of jewelry on myself. I bought my girl a real diamond and custom ring from a well noted establishment for a few reasons. It was important to her. And she's been working in the upscale retail industry/jewelry industry for awhile. While most guys think that nobody can tell the difference between a real diamond or a fake diamond. People in that industry can tell at a glance. People with money who are used to higher end stuff can also tell at a glance. She's been in that industry for awhile and can evaluate a piece of jewelry or a diamond and know if its real or fake and estimate its value. Typically in seconds.


Its a status symbol and she gets compliments on it daily. And women always tell her how lucky she is. That she'd better not let me 'get away'. She'd better 'show her appreciation to me'/ 'Take care of me.' etc. She literally has complete strangers telling her daily how lucky she is to be with me. Its also pumped in her head non-stop by her coworkers/friends/family.



With that said. Most females are not worth putting a rock on their finger. I'd say most are fairly worthless these days. Just being attractive and having a p00sy does not make someone worthy of a ring.
