Does It Have To Be A Ring - Page 2

You all seem to have such a low opinion of women. We all are not shallow, superficial creatures. Sure a diamond is nice, but not nice enough to accept a proposal with just anyone who asks. Women who make a determination of such importance based upon the size of the ring are in the minority. Most women I know return the ring if they break the engagement, though traditionally that is not required. I would hope one takes the time to get to know the other person before offering up a proposal instead of just letting their hormones lead the way. By doing so you will know whether a ring is important or not. You will know if she wants a diamond, some other stone, or perhaps just a simple band. And you will also have a pretty good idea what the answer will be.

Or we can say that the type of women they are proposing to is low .

You read my thoughts. Another reason to get to know them well before proposing.

It's not suprising that men would make such generalizations, because I find the majority of women are superficial and false. There are very few women that I know that wouldn't like a giant rock on their finger just to say they have a giant rock on their finger. I can count those few women on one hand.

Not to say that because a woman wants an expensive ring, she doesn't love the man who is proposing, but women generally like expensive jewelry.

What about if the girl proposes to the guy with a ring, that would be cool, and I certainly wouldn't mind it so long as it wasn't a surprise thing and I'm not interested in the girl proposing.

I know one guy who his wife proposed and had a set of rings at the ready. They had their birth stones in them it was kinda cool. They had these slim bands welded (bonded) to the wedding bands after.

Ladies after 50 years the engagement ring does wear out so be prepared for that. My mom had her diamond set into the wedding ring on her 30 th anniversary. The gold from the engagement ring was used to thicken the wedding band.

This is the reason I went with platinum. It is a much harder metal and it does not wear out like gold has the tendency to.

I like the ring I picked out and made to my specs. I think my wife is very happy with it. Now I have to start shopping around for a 10 year band to add to her set.

Back to the original question, I do not think it has to be a ring. That is just tradition. If you and your loved one want to exchange something else that is important to you, I think that would be sweet, original, and very romantic. I know several women that were proposed to and accepted with the token of a ring pop. Some chose to go ring shopping together after this, and others just chose not to exchange rings. Symbolically, a ring represents a love that never ends. I never cared if I received an engagement ring, however, dbackers did propose with a ring. I am not very materialistic. I enjoy the simple things in life. I do wish that we had gone to a pawn shop and bought a good quality ring, but not spent so much money. I am a bargain shopper.
