[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a feminist guy, this is a deal-breaker for me and I feel pity and mystification for my guy friends when I hear about them doing it -- some of them are shelling out literally [i]thousands of dollars[/i] for a ring that their partner isn't paying for half of. For these guys it's like the sexual revolution never happened.

If your answer is 'yes, I totally would', is it because you don't consider yourself a feminist, or what?[/quote]

I'm a woman, and I think shelling out thousands for jewelry is dumb. Unless you're Donald Trump rich, obviously. 50/50 is besides the point for me.[/quote]

Exactly. If you think an engagement ring is an unreasonable expense, you're a poor.

Don't marry poor men. Don't marry selfish men who won't indulge you in a token of affection. Men don't become kinder and more generous over time. [/quote]

Exactly. Marry a guy like Donald Trump. Kind and generous. [/quote]

You have to be unthinkably poor to imagine several thousand dollars only becomes a token amount for literal billionaires. My husband bought my ring with a mid-year bonus. [/quote]

Yes, I guess I am unthinkably poor :lol:

PP, you must have zero imagination. You can't fathom that there are people with different interests and values out there. Who are (gasp) not unthinkably poor.[/quote]
