M1ck1e: An onion rings is going to fall apart too. As for a ring just be prepare for repairs in the long run. Maybe you'll get lucky and get a good one.
Maybe I'll just give her the olive ring out of a disassembled plumbing fitting - they last for years. And frugality is very attractive in a man. Thanks M1ck1e
Obstinance_Works: No, no. First she'll have to flush me out of my bachelor's bunker with dogs, grenades and a sincere desire to spend the rest of her life with me.
Ooh but you're discussing engagement rings. It's a slippery slope from here
M1ck1e: I don't have a materialistic bone in my body, and that's the truth, so I definitely don't need one. But because it's an such a huge part of culture have a fun time trying to explain why you're engaged and don't have a ring
I have an old car and absolutely love it.... yup. i try to explain that also.
Obstinance_Works: I've been told by my lady that she'd want a good engagement ring so it can then become a family heirloom. Is she just saying this? I'd really appreciate a woman's opinion.
buy her diamonds. that'll shut her up...and fits your philosophy.
Bah, people universally overestimate the importance of money to attracting women. And I defy any woman to tell the difference between a real diamond and a cubic zirconia, just as I do with that signed Miro original I have hanging on my bedroom wall(signed by me, in biro).

There's a cubic zirconia and then there's the real deal. I prefer the real thing. Maybe you could get her a really big Swarovski instead?

Ummm... hate to spoil your enthusiasm over a cubic zirconian, but watch them scratch up badly over six months.. and they look worse than a beach pebble... and definitely can tell between a diamond and a cubic zircon..
