Won't marry a woman who would want to waste money on a shiny rock.
- seanp2k2 10y agoI wish you good luck in finding a spouse. It's not about the shiny rock, it's about the financial commitment to a symbol of your enduring love, or something.
- Joof 10y agoThere has to be something way more awesome than a diamond ring that costs a bundle. I'm probably fucked; I don't like hanging on to stuff as momentos. That goes double for expensive momentos. Triple if it breaks some societal norm. My college had a class ring that was kind of a big deal. College buddies pester me years later about when I'm going to get mine. They teased the guy who got silver instead of gold (seriously). Never. Why do I want a $1000 reminder of something I already have? It's also a huge psychological ploy to get people to rep the school and donate whether or not it deserves it. I guess buying an expensive ring could make somebody think of me constantly. I'd vastly prefer to have some crazy experience or donate to something we care about and buy a regular priced ring to use as a social symbol.
