50% divorce rate--engagement rings--Men are fucken stupid...
First of I am a guy and been married and divorced twice.
50% of marriges end in divorce.. Engagement ring are a fucken fortune.. I am in a relationship and she wants to get married and keeps telling me she wants over 2 carots. Thats like a minimal 10k. There is not a shot. The truth is having to buy an engagement ring is a part of the reason I don't want to get married. I just don't get it. . Ithink women should get those cubic fake rings and be able to trade them in for the real thing after 10 years of marrige. The fucken diamond industry might go under especially with divorce rates of above 50%. I just can't get that 50% divorce rate and engagement ring math. It just bogles my mind how us guys keep buying those fuckers.. Am I crazy???? |

not at all bro.
only way i would buy a rock like that is with a pretty ring-specific pre-nup ;) I'm just NOT a trusting person though by nature, so I'm probably not the one to base this decision off of. Anyway, good luck with it! FF |

Man dump that bitch, i know to some that ring symobolizes being in love forever but forever is a long time and things change. The truth changes daily and sometimes does a complete 180 within seconds. If you don't want to throw away 10k on a ring then don't bro. If she really loves you she wouldn't care.

Diamonds are one of the few things that lose value faster than a new car.
If she's specifiying a carat size (and even better, demanding a ring at all) then toss her back, IMHO. Offer to put the money towards something that appreciates if she's that interested in the $$$. |

Its just with the dovorce rate and what its cost for engagements rings it just gets you thinking. Also--i have a 14 year old boy and 11 year old girl...The 10k now can be a couple years of college 10 years from now... why can't she buy me a ring???? |

Look--I am talking generally. She says she would want to 2 carots and I told her no. She even said she would give me her old ring to trade in. She happens to ge a good girl.
my point of this post is I just think buying engagements rings with todays divorce rates is insane.. I truly thing giving a fake one and trading it in after 5 or 10 years marrage makes sense.. Am I crazy for thinking that..Think how many guys buy the rings and thena few years later they never see the ring or the girl again... The whole sytem just seems unfair to me.. |

If your woman loves you, she wouldn't care about a ring.

Perhaps you would be better off putting more effort into your selection of life partner, and you wouldn't have to worry about buying multiple rings. Don't punish the 3rd girl, because you made 2 poor choices previous. ![]() |

If a woman starts telling you what her carat requirements are then you need to run, not walk, away from her.
Its one thing to let you know her size and which style of diamond looks best on her hand (princess, marquise, etc etc) but the rest is bullshit. If she really wants to be with you then she'll take a diamond chip and be happy with it because you gave it to her. ![]()

So if a diamond costs the jeweler 1K wholesale, they try to sell it to you for 3k....and if you negotiate you maybe get it for 2400. Then if you try to sell it back later they tell you its worth 1K and that it "loses value" so that you won't know they raped you on the initial sale. Short of carbon dating how would someone know the difference between a "new" and a "used" diamond anyways? They're millions of years old before they're mined aren't they?

Your right. I was in the Jewelery business for 5 years and a Diamonds value is only based on the quality and current market value. It doesn't matter if it was bought and sold 50 times or only 1. Mined 200 years ago or yesterday. |

Give her a 3 kt cz. If she says before marriage, "why did you give me a fake ring" you know she's not the right one because she's getting it appraised.

80% of women are fucked up that are 30+ and not married. You are fucked now. If I were gonna have a leech I would have a 18 year old leech.

Why does she want a 2 carat stone? I mean, specifically, WHY? If you really can't afford it, would she be willing to help with the costs? You have to talk to her about this. She sounds awfully materialistic by just saying "2 carats or else"! What really matters is the cut. Give me a WELL-CUT 1 carat stone any day over a poorly cut 2 carat stone. Hearts and arrows...yummy!! No offense people, but CZ is crap. It is not durable enough for years of daily use.

you've been married twice already and didnt learn? You've already got two kids, whats the point?
and yeah, 50% of marriages end in divorce as the national average, but 100% of your marriages have ended in divorce. And she's picking out the ring... I'd run screaming, and I run far and fast. |

There was a film I watched once where this guy had a huge supply of cheap rings on him so that he could make out as though he really liked the girl just to get a lay.
Probably should have also had a supply of pre nup's on him as well.... |

Second off even the two months salary guideline is bullshit. It was created by the diamond industry to try and make men spend more than they could afford. If 2 months salary was what people really spent then a guy making $500 a week would have to spend 4K on a ring.....that ain't happening. The average engagement ring in the US is 3/4 carat and costs in the neighborhood of $2000. Women who think they're "entitled" to have a certain size diamond can kiss my ass. Gold diggers all the way IMO.
