Why Engagement Rings Are a Scam

So true. I've watched blood diamond also. Good movie. I bought my wife's ring on eBay and saved a bunch of money compared to going to a jeweler.

The single first purchase I ever made on a credit card was an engagement ring. Something jumped the rails and First USA cancelled the account, and opened another one - without ever transferring the balance. I attempted to pay and they said it was zero balance. So I got a worthless rock for actual value!

Good luck with that buddy.

I told the old lady she wasn't getting a diamond, and she's cool with it. Enjoy losing some house payments for quartz, suckers!

My wife's ring has actually appreciated. I decided to go solid platinum vs. platinum setting because fuck yeah

Considering all the money I've blown on useless shit over the year's, what's a few grand to keep her happy. I see it the same as a nice watch or fine suit, the value is in having nice things, not what you can flip it for.

As stupid as rings are, no avoiding it. Shit, I never wear my wedding ring. Had the choice been up to me I wouldn't have bought any rings and had a JP marry us.

Cost of doing business as far as I am concerned.

Good timepieces hold their value much better than diamonds, unless you've managed to get someone willing to sell you said diamond for anywhere near the DeBeers price.

So you are going to give her the "Q" and not the "D"?

What is DOHCtr's moto? "If you can float it, fly it, or fuck it, rent it."

I love her, but I will never love a woman enough to underwrite her existence. We split everything 50/50. If I bought her thousands of dollars worth of jewelry as a promise that we'd get married, she had better be ready to buy me an equal amount of shit I want.
