Do not let some scrote shame you into thinking having a ring makes you a gold digger who doesn't understand the concept of love.
The ring a woman takes to her grave can be bought for a fraction of what a scrote will pay for a gaming PC that will be outdated in a few years. You are worth more than an object that is used for fun, and if he is serious with you, he agrees! A serious prospect WILL drop the money on a ring and not think twice.
The angry reddit mob was mad when women on FDS bought rings for themselves 🙄 it's exhausting knowing how some men will find any reason to justify preexisting hatred
Men don’t give a fuck about the price of a diamond/ring for the woman they love. A man will move mountains to prove himself to the woman he loves.
If a man won't buy you a beautiful, valuable ring to express his love for you and desire to bind you to him for eternity, what else won't he do or pay for or provide? How else will he minimize or invalidate your commitment to him and show you that your marriage doesn't really matter?
I have written here previously about my scrote ex-husband, who never bought me gifts even at holidays and special occasions over several years of marriage. It should not surprise you to learn that he also "proposed" sans ring or any sort of effort whatsoever. I was much younger and more foolish then and settled for a man who couldn't be bothered to ask me to marry him properly. His lack of regard for my feelings and refusal to exert any effort in making me happy quickly translated into years of misery and emotional neglect/abuse for me.
I learned, too late, that his parents had put him on the spot and pressured him to either marry me or break up with me and he feared losing his bangmaid (Yes, we lived together too! Mistake.). Rather than having to start over with a new pickmeisha, he clumsily asked me to marry him while we were on vacation by bringing a bottle of cheap champagne into a canoe on a pond and nearly tipping us over while he proposed. There was no ring; I ended up buying my own later on because I was so embarrassed by people asking to see it. Is this really what you want for yourself? This is what being a "cool girl" gets you: a low-effort, low value man who doesn't love you enough.
Do not settle. Do not compromise on this. Do not say yes to a man who thinks "marriage is just a piece of paper" but grudgingly agrees to marry you to make you stop bothering him about it. In fact you should never bother a man about it; find out his views on marriage, and then drop him like a hot stone if his values don't align with yours. If you have to beg and plead, he isn't good enough for you. If you find yourself feeling like you have to pressure him to marry you, ghost and delete however painful it might be in the short term. And if the man who claims to love you isn't willing to give you a proper proposal in a way that suits your tastes and preferences (which he should already know very well, because he cares enough to notice and heed them), don't say yes. You deserve a precious ring, a wedding (not a cheap Vegas elopement unless that's what you want), and all of the trimmings if you want those things. A HVM will do whatever he reasonably can to give them to you.
And, if a scrote DOES shame you at this point or any time before an engagement, that’s when you block and delete. Really. Really. “You’ll do much better, baby, on your own.”
He wants me to let him into my life for the rest of it, and benefit from all my love, attention, and overall magic--thereby making his life more enjoyable and fulfilled? Best believe there better be a big valuable diamond involved to show how much he values me and that he will be a great provider. My hand in marriage is not on sale. Scrotes can froth themselves into a coma about it.
Agree wholeheartedly. Your ring is something you will be wearing every day, for the rest of your life, all being well. It's an outward declaration to the world of his commitment to you and if he doesn't think that's a priority or something worth getting right, then it's not a good sign.
