tastyt Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 Anyway, about this financial stability thing... I don't entirely get it... Just what does it mean to be financially stable in a city like NY, anyway??? I mean, if both partners are employed, and they can both support themselves- isn't that enough? And when they marry, their financial foothold should become stronger anyway- right? What with tax breaks, sharing the costs of housing, etc. Isn't that what marriage is supposed to be about- supporting each other and improving each other's life???Unless they intend to start popping out babies as soon as they've said their vows- what more do you need?

Yes, that's exactly what financially stable means, when both partners are employed and have enough money to support themselves, and also, be able to support their kids whether they decide to have babies right away or not!

She doesn't have to prove her wealth, just her oral skills, and her ability to shut the fuck up when shes spoken to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wideskies Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 Originally posted by xlr8ted She doesn't have to prove her wealth, just her oral skills, and her ability to shut the fuck up when shes spoken to. i guess that's what some people on here seem to value... a man's ability to "take care of his woman" financially.hellooooooooooo, dark ages...

I can support myself but I can't afford a $2000 ring.Which is precisely why I asked the question that you still haven't answered. wideskies: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpoppanils Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 oh yes! lets contribute our support to the bloody civil war in the Congo by continuing to demand expensive diamonds!fyi: there are a few companies in europe making a new generation of synthetic diamonds. these are not like cubic zirconia (sp?)most of them cannot be told apart from regular diamonds by most jewelers, unless a jeweler has a super-expensive detection machine from DeBeers. they are all 100% perfect. one company is making diamonds that cant be detected by DeBeers. cost? about $300 to $400 a carathttp://www.wired.com/wired/archive/11.09/diamond.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
