Value of Ring vs Value of Woman

[Desdinova]

Had a friend of mine post this on FB yesterday...

Anyone wanna buy a ring? 12k obo valued at 14k

It's pretty obvious that him and his fiancee broke up.

Who in their right mind would buy a woman they barely know a $14k ring? How has this woman shown this kind of value? Oh wait, we're talking about AFCs wanting to impress their "soulmate" with an expensive ring.

In my opinion, the only woman who's worth a ring of this kind of value is a woman who's stuck with you for 25 years or longer. At that point, she's proven that she's loyal and dedicated. THAT is the only time you should buy a $14k ring.

For men who actually decide to go down the path of a traditional wedding, a cheap ring should be enough.

Of all the indoctrination we receive, diamond engagement rings are the worst. Not because I'm some misplaced idealist who is looking out for the people of Sierra Leone. It's because, D*MN, why are we paying thousands of dollars for this status symbol? It's beyond my comprehension. I get it, it's tradition and all, but what happened to the days of getting a $500 ring and being done with it? 14 F*CKING THOUSAND DOLLARS??

I like the #nohymennodiamond. That might be the only way to counter this deal.

Women today get married just for the wedding. I meet women all the time that always say that one day they want to get married, they all speak about it as if it's a "check off the list" of things they want to do before they die.

I rarely meet a woman that says she wants to find ONE man that she will be with for the rest of her life, who she will support, love, and cater to on a daily basis. I rarely hear a woman say this.

As a result, I can only conclude that to most women marriage is all about the wedding, the ceremony, the courting phase, the gifts, the diamonds, and the big honeymoon. As I said before and will keep saying, this market of women only views YOU as a disposable utility.

You would be correct, in fact, the groom might as well be a court jester. That's literally how they view us. When you have so many examples of how terrible an investment marriage is yet continue to see so many men sacrificing themselves for it, I can see why they don't respect us.

Had a girl literally tell me these things:

1. "If you want to keep it you'd better put a ring on it" (stupid F**king song)

2." I expect to have a ring in a year and if I don't I'm not sticking around and wasting my time with someone who has no intention of marrying me"

3. " I deserve a nice wedding and I won't settle for anything less"

I'm going with Tenacity's advice and plan on never marrying. It's a f**king rip-off!

I've seen engaged girls showing off there rings to friends acting all great while there future husband has either gone into large debt or just spent a crap load of his savings to keep pre Madonna happy!
