I think women who clamor for huge diamond rings are akin to prostitutes. Diamonds are basically money. If you like jewelery, there are a ton of prettier stones to choose from. When women show off their rings, they are basically bragging about how much money their spouse makes. What do you think? If I've offended you, get over it. Or better yet, explain to me why I'm wrong...

Little known fact that diamonds are kept at an artificially high price. Diamonds aren't not in fact as rare as made out to be. Its just the diamond companies like debeers has a monopoly in the market and can charge what ever they want for a shiny rock.

I agree with you. Diamonds arnt the prettiest stone out there. And women who are all about the diamond are also all about the money and are very expensive women to be with. I feel sorry for the men who have to pay for their wives diamond collection. Also what is up with the big honken cocktail rings that are almost have the size of your hand? Those just look stupid. Why would you want to wear something that ways your hand down? You have to lift weights just to be able to wave with that thing on. In my opinion people who wear these stupid guawdy things are just trying to show off how much money they have (or in the case of the people with the fake rings, they are just trying to show off how much money they are in debt.)

I would rather have a dog for a best friend. I am not a big material person.
I think jewerly makers made up that saying way back when so men would buy more diamonds for their sweetie intern making them more money. You see it all the time advertised now with jewerly stores.
When I get proposed to all that matters to me is the thought....not the diamond.

If I had loads of money it wouldn't bother me at all what sort of ring my g/f wanted but if it was a diamond I would be more concerned about were it came from. A lot of diamonds are mined using what can only be described as slaves and a lot of people die because of it.

The DeBeers family is going to have you arrested or maybe even knocked off if you keep talking like this.
As an aside, did you know that an engagement ring in Victorian times was usually garnet and pearl....diamonds weren't the thing back then.

This wouldn't apply to women who buy their own diamonds, of course. But a large diamond is pretty damn useless when you think about the number of starving children you could feed with the amount of money you spent on it.

Women who have sex for huge diamonds are akin to prostitutes.
Women who just enjoy large diamonds are perhaps flashy, or sometimes irresponsible with their money, or even perhaps a gold-digger, but certainly not akin to a prostitute.

Unfortunately there are $kanky whores that use ugly guys for their money, so any diamond rings they have is because they sold their bodies for them, the same way a $kanky hooker on the street corner does, which is why they are $kanky whores. That and also his bank account, money, and any other expensive luxury.

This one time I was driving in the carpool lane with my inflatable wife in the seat beside me. A suspicious police officer (who happened to be a woman) pulled me over and accused me of "using" my "wife". It just so happened that I had bought my inflatable wife a 3 carat, nearly flawless diamond ring. The female officer, upon seeing the ring, was taken aback at my devotion to my inflatable wife. She realized that I wasn't simply using it, I mean her, to access the carpool lane. She let me off with only a warning and a $400 ticket.
