Men and diamond ring

Just gone thru this entry about a AU$50 lab made diamond and a brainless P.H.D student. BM also had her remark about this.

It's basically about this phd student. He wants to propose to her girlfriend but can't afford the real rock. Thus he got a diamond ring off ebay for 50 bucks and intend to pass it off as the real thing.

Here's a married man's perspective.

The lying part is definitely wrong. I totally agree with BM on this one. If you got her a 50 dollars ring, you are wrong to pass it off as a Tiffany.

Yes Mr P.H.D., your girl may not be able to accept you getting a 50 dollars ring as a proposal ring. So why do it in the 1st place? Moreover you said she is not materialistic.

And seriously I feel you are throwing the face of all man. Yah student very poor, can't afford. Then obviously that is a sign to tell you that it is NOT the time.

These are things(esp marriage) which are very important to women. It's not about the cost of the ring. It's about how much you will sacrifice to get the ring. I.e. fasting(a sacrifice) so that money meant for food can be donated to your religion.

It may not be logical to you. She may seemed materialistic to you. But these are things we,men, would never be able to understand. The same goes for their obsession with shoes and, vice versa our obsession with breasts.

You don't have to understand. You don't have to decipher it logically like how you solve your homework. You just have to KNOW that it is important for a women so just go with the flow.

Ego blocking the flow? Then might as well get her 50 coke rings for her instead. Even to last her 50 lifetimes and you get 50 cans of coke. Make so much material sense!
