lollib Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 Does the size of the ring really matter that much when a person gets engaged? One of my best friends just got engaged and my other friend has asked me 3 separate times how big the diamond is. I dont know why she keeps asking cause it wont affect her life one way or another. I dont know, it is just really getting to me that she keeps asking. How do I ask her nicely why the size matters so much to her??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tastyt Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 I think it's so weird how one of the first things so many people say when someone tells them they just got engaged- is "so let me see the ring!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rackham Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 Obviously if it's not huge and expensive it means he doesn't love you. Duh! I mean, you spend all that time together, telling each other how much you're in love, and then he refuses to empty his bank account on a ring?!? C'mon people! What a loser!!!

lollib Posted August 26 Author Report Share Posted August 26 Size does matter to some people but as soon as I told my friend she got engaged, she was like how big is it? That is a little ridiculous. And my friend loves it so that is all that matters. Besides, it is a beautiful ring, good size but the fact of her asking is irritating!

sexxyme Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 I'm sorry, materialistic or not, I want a nice ring..and if you can't afford it, than you shouldn't be proposing in the first place. I'm not the type of person that dates guys for money but I think that when a guy proposes to a girl, since for some of us it only happens once in a life time, it should be special... So, whether you admit it or not, size REALLY does matter!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more than I ever dreamed of.I love u Lextcy! 4 ever! i'm right there with ya, t.w. i'm VERY happy with the one my man picked out as well. he has great taste in jewelry. it has no bearing on how much i love him...the fact that it came from him is what mattered. But, let's face it, most girls would LOVE a big diamond (including me). So if you could get it, i say why not. size does matter to most chicks but you also have to consider the QUALITY. Just because a diamond is huge does not mean a lot was spent on it. it could be poor clarity and color which would make it pretty inexpensive. think i know my diamonds?...lol i once knew a girl who tried to convince me that the ring she was wearing was a 3 ct. diamond when it was pretty obvious that it was a CZ bottom line is, it should NOT matter how big the diamond is. that's not what you are getting married for. if it is, then don't count on your relationship lasting forever.anywho, just like guys appreciate cars, girls appreciate diamonds. i appreciate both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the size of the ring will affect her life in some way. I dont know, I never ask anyone how big their ring is. if they want to tell me, they will.

So what you're saying is, somebody wanting to spend the rest of his life with you isn't special unless it's accompanied by an expensive trinket, the bigger the better.

georgym Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 I think if it's within your means, and it comes from the heart, that's what matters the most. Not the size of the ring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wideskies Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 when i get engaged, i want to have an EXCHANGE of some sort... ie, both people wear rings, or bracelets, or whatever. if you can't afford it, than you shouldn't be proposing in the first placeso why is it that it's only the *man* who needs to prove he's financially viable?... unless, of course, you're planning to rely on your spouse to support you rather than sharing in the expenses of living together.

I would never rely on my spouse for financial support!!!..BUT..when it comes to this, I was raised to believe that a guy should be financially stable before he decides to propose to a girl!, which brings me to my previous quote...if you can't afford it, dont propose..how are you planning on getting married, if you're not financially stable?

So just how much money does a man have to spend on a ring to qualify as "financially stable"? How do you define "financially stable"?There are plenty of guys who go into debt to buy their girlfriends HUGE rings, and they are most certainly NOT financially stable. There are other men who are rich out the ass but are too frugal to buy a plastic spider ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tastyt Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 Sorry (some of you) ladies, but if it matters that much to you, I don't think it's really love or that you know what's important in a marriage. Tranzwhore, I'm glad you're happy with your ring, but would you love your man any less if it had come with a smaller rock? Does it really make a difference???

elementx Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 I just love when a guys goes out of his way to impress her and thinks that it is all about size and he buys a nasty cut diamond just because it was bigger than the nicer cut... When it comes down to it. You may see the size from a distance... But the people who are going to look at it that are close enough to you are your friends and family. And they will notice all the flaws... Quality, Not quantity... I would rather buy a 1ct. Diamond with a beautiful platinum setting and a clean cut. Than to buy a 3ct. Diamond with a so so setting and a shitty cut...Just my .02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I never said the rock has to be huge, I said the ring must be nice..and hey, if I don't love him, I won't be with him, don't forget that..before anything, the most important thing in the relationship is love!Also, when I say financially stable, I mean..that he can afford to get a nice ring for a girl among other things and wont have to go into debt by doing so!
