DIttos. And don't get all hung up on the Net/Gross amounts. Hit the ball-park and she'll be happy.

Just don't buy a CZ knock-off and try to pass it off as the real thing

If and when I do it. I plan on spending around 5K. 2 months salary for me is around 7K. Huh, pretty close.

0 you pussy, make her buy it.

$49. buy it at K-mart and tell her it is real. You'll feel better after the divorce.

Bro, here's what you do. Give her a piece of coal, and say this;

"This may only be a piece of coal, but it's proof that I am going to love you forever. Coal takes thousands upon thousands of years of extreme heat and pressure before it becomes a diamond, and I love you so much that I want to see this piece of coal become a diamond. Will you marry me?"

It's a can't miss, because it shows that you're ready for the two biggest things that women look for,
1.) Monogamy
2.) A long term commitment.

Not to mention the fact that it saves you about $8,000

gococks will store it in his ass, it is plenty hot up there, but I am afraid the pressure is prolly pretty low given that his asshole has been hit more than a Rawlings baseball during spring training.

god damn that was outta bounds haha. good shit.

dont do it bro

7,000. that is a little steep. Well i mean it is nothing when she leaves, and takes half. And the ring

I honestly think it is ridiculous to spend more than $1000 on something as small as a ring that has little to no function.

I am sure the women on the forum will argue that it is what the ring means, ie. Love. In reality, what the ring means is that we are a fucked up society to put a price on love,. especially since there is a greater than 50% chance of a loss on that investment.

getting married is for GAY people!

Jesus Dale $1000. I said $49. Get a grip on yourself.

Ugghhh you guys have it all wrong.

What you want to do is first find out from family and/or friends how big a diamond she wants. Some women don't want huge diamond and for petite women, large diamonds look stupid. What kind of cut, size and setting are most important. Once you know that then go with what you can afford. The last thing you want to do is start out your marriage with a huge debt equaling 2 months salary That will only cause problems from the get go and arguments to boot.

Once you have an idea of what she wants go shopping. When you find something that fits what you are looking for check out the clarity. The better the clarity the more money. Personally, I feel getting the sharp clarity is a waste of money. Don't go buy the worst clarity because then it will be noticable but trust me on this..........if you buy one that middle of the road she is not gonna be able to tell the difference on the clarity (unless she is a jeweler) and you will save half the money right there

Taking your time and putting your love into it and finding what you like and what you think she will like is worth more than any diamond.

And if after all that she doesn't like it.................







Dump the bitch because she's a gold digger

Are you telling me that a Ring Pop won't suffice?

Yeah, true, she might not want a big diamond, she might want like 50 small ones...on platinum...or white gold.

Take the $3000 and get a top notch whore.....In the morning she will be gone and you wont have to pay her for the next 18 years+.

Maybe Let me tell you he would be lucky if that's the case. 50 small diamond embedded in platinum or gold is a hell of a lot cheaper than 1 large diamond.
