1. I really hope you are joking that you spent 10K on a diamond.

2. There is no way I am spending 3 months salary on a ring.

3. There is such a thing as too big. Example: If women can see that your schlong can touch your knee it will get attention. Doesn't mean you will get laid more.

I heard of that three month rule....BS! My fiance would need a wheelbarrow to carry her hand around...lmao. Worthless IMO, I'd rather buy a house a sweet stuff to put in it and have some savings. Any play money goes towards the toys.

drew · 06-28-2007, 01:56 PM

3 month? man my girl will be lucky if i spend 3 day's pay on something i can't drive

gpzjack · 06-28-2007, 03:32 PM

She better swallow and take it in the back door

markley02 · 06-28-2007, 03:46 PM

I spent less than half of 10K on her ring. I get complements all the time from all of her friends over the ring I got her.

ITSTOCK · 06-28-2007, 03:53 PM

I would pay $10k for a ring if that's what the girlfriend wanted. Luckily, she found a "commercial" ring (as in it's a generic store made ring, hundreds/thousands floating around) that's under $2000. I've spent less on watches for her, not a bad deal!

And BTW, the DIAMOND INDUSTRY started the 3 months salary general rule of thumb theory, just as they completely control the supply of diamonds (there are MILLIONS of diamonds left in storages across the world).

Quality, not quantity. In all reality, $10k for a GOOD diamond does NOT buy you a huge ring. For example, a 2-3 carat stone in the $10k range buys you a decent sized diamond with a couple of flaws. In the real world, a NICE $10k diamond would only be 1-1.5 carats. Well under 2. A flawless $10k diamond would be 1 carat or less.

Size doesn't always matter.

ITSTOCK · 06-28-2007, 04:11 PM

BTW, it's impossible to tell the size of the diamond from that picture!

den9 · 06-28-2007, 04:38 PM

if i ever ask a girl to marry me ill be sure to be jobless so i dont have to spend 3 months pay.

Diamonds last forever was a slogan created by GUESS WHO....the DIAMOND INDUSTRY!

And no, I am not being sarcastic with my replies. I watched a special on the discovery channel

You won't have to spend anything becuase she'll say no since you are jobless. Unless she needs you so she can get a green card. Then she'd still bang other dudes on the side.
