One of my Facebook friends shared a pickmeisha post that shows a walmart ring that costs about $48. The caption was basically "it doesn't matter if the ring is $48 or $48,000 as long as he's loyal to me and treats me right". She has shared this post in the past, and me and a few commenters pointed out that if he can only afford a Walmart ring then y'all don't need to be married righr now. She got defensive about it, which is why I didn't comment on it this time around. And of course the comments were full of people discussing how cheap their rings and weddings were and how happy they are smh š.
I think she's trying to get her bf to pop the question. They seem pretty happy and they've been together for about 2 years I think. It feels like she's yelling to him "I'll take any cheap ring you can give me, just marry me already". If all she needs is a $50 ring and he won't even give her that, I think that's an unfortunate sign that he doesn't think she's the one š¬
Don't accept cheap rings, it means he doesn't see the marriage as long lasting and worth investing in.
Agreed. Iām roster dating, and already lining up engagement rings, wedding night jewelry gifts (in Pakistan, the man gives a jewelry set on the wedding night), wedding dresses (he should pay) and lovely homes for when I meet my Mr. HVM.
"As long as he's loyal and treats me right"
The bar is so low. This makes me sad for her
If he can't afford a ring he can't afford a wife and possibly kids.
The Post is solely to get her boyfriend to propose. If she was already engaged to be married to this guy, it wouldn't be pathetic. Obviously, it isn't an either / or -- your partner should buy you a ring you will like that he or she can afford and he or she should be faithful.
But the truth is, there are a lot of women out there who don't care for jewelry at all (or like me, prefer bold, funky designer stuff, or vintage costume jewelry).
Not wanting a classic solitaire engagement ring doesn't make you a PickMe.
But in this instance, she is literally begging her boyfriend for a ring, in a public venue.
I know FDS holds that men should propose but "hinting" like this is far more humiliating. I can't imagine wanting to get married bad enough to do either, but at least if she asks and gets told 'no," she can break up and move on with her life.
This post was depressing enough when I believed your friend was sharing an image of a $48 ring she had actually received. There's non-materialism and then there's a man hiding behind any excuse to avoid revealing to a woman he doesn't really care about her.
Ew why would you advertise that your man doesnāt think youāre worth more than a couple dollars. Bet he can afford that $80 Xbox game though..
I'm getting secondhand cringe. My loser ex ended up getting married without a wedding at all- they just picked up the license. Not that I needed any more affirmation he was a scrote but there it is. And his partner looked so disappointed but was still trying to rationalize it. I don't think she got a ring either. Comon sis.
Ew. I cannot stand pickmes bragging about how low maintenance and easy to please they are. It is so... gross. Iād also wager that when you get married and the guy puts in a lot of effort, time, and love and gives you a nice ring, sheāll be the first one to be jealous and calling you materialistic and yadda yadda. Pickmes set themselves up to lose and to have miserable, unhappy lives. You hate to see it.
