[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do we seem to insist that a marriage proposal be accompanied by proffering a diamond ring to the woman? It's been well established that the diamond engagement ring "tradition" was concocted by DeBeers to simply sell an item that is instrinsically worthless as a mean to boost their own bottom line. I think any man who would fall for the "three months salary" marketing BS is a financial fool and any woman who would demand a giant rock is a gold-digger any man wouldn't or shouldn't want to marry. If you don't believe me, check out Freakonomics: http://freakonomics.com/podcast/diamonds-are-a-marriage-counselors-best-friend/ Or if you're short on time or attention span: Adam Ruins Everything: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5kWu1ifBGU[/quote] So which is it your boyfriend doesn't want to buy you a ring or you're too cheap to buy your girl one? Yes I know you're so enlightened :roll: [/quote]
