I've got a couple of questions for you. Who are these women that you speak of and where can I find them?
Ahem. They're right here.
Although I am rare. And my friends who share the same viewpoint are rare, actually they are women who don't want to get married. I did get an engagement ring but felt it was too large for my small hand so I brought it back for a small stone. Imagine the shock I get whenever I tell that story.

one foot in the door

sweet smell that they adore
I think I'd rather smother

Amen brother, it was a tough pill to swallow. That's 1999 dollars as well.
And she could be blowing you the rest of your life, it doesn't amount to $10K, well, depends on the city and the hooker trade, but you know what I mean.
I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire
And you're not the first guy to tell me that after telling him I don't like diamond rings.
So, are you like, into platinum then? Cause thats even more expensive.

nope. I'm pale so I'll settle for a little gold (silver makes me look even more pale), but other than my wedding ring, I don't wear jewelry. I'm a cheap date.
Oh, and diamonds are by far more expensive than platinum.
engagement rings are fascinating to me. i think of them in terms of the woman being able to say look at this ring i got. i got a man who loves me enough to fork out a whole wad of cash or go into debt to prove that love. my worth is measured by the size of the rock. i find the whole thing as shallow as a puddle. diamonds are boring anyway. they have no colour and as ahnimus said they're just a lump of carbon. the advertising industry strikes again.
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me

See, once you expose the fallacy of the female gender role, they come out of the woodwork claiming they aren't like that. It's a trick men, marry one of these girls and you'll be trapped.

it's a fallacy reinforced by the patriarchal society we live in.
but i am sure there are millions of women who do believe in all the bullshit.

If Victory could have only talked some sense into my wife, I could have saved about $10K.
sadly i'm not sure i could have been successful. this tradition is so ingrained in many people, though clearly it isn't that way for everyone. it's amazing how strong cultural conditioning and marketing can be.
if you wanna be a friend of mine

that kind of thinking isn't going to get you anywhere you want to be. i'm just sayin.

Yea, hey, I'm not blaming you. Just saying.

like elaine in seinfeld... they want some "make my friends jealous" time. the huge rock is a good way to do it. it captures people's attention, forces them to ask so she can brag about the engagement, etc.
im thinking of telling women im engaged from now on. they all want what they cant have and guys dont have engagement rings so i couldnt be caught on it. then i could play the doubting guy, superior pussy syndrome kicks in, and i could be getting laid by a different girl each night with no expectation of a phone call ever again. i dont know why i didnt think about this years ago.
and how did my thread turn into such a pansy jewelry thread?
women and jewelry. I don't get it. I don't see any point to it. what does an earring do? I mean putting a hole in your ear so you can stick something in it?
or rings, what is the reason?
well more natural jewelry I think is kinda cool, like the stuff many girls in brasil wear. but the same with make up, women painting their faces going for the clown look i guess. spend soooooooooo much time getting ready to go out. Infact guys are guilty of this too. I have some guy friends who take hrs to get ready.
gotta be clean shaven, gotta load up on the axe. but I guess we all have our own things. some people say that i'm crazy for not being interested in those things. I've not even shaved in 5 months. feels great. but i've had girls ask me why.
What about the matters of young women teachers getting off with nothing for having sex with a 15 year old student but reverse it for a man and he will be demonized (not that I agree with this sort of thing but using a current example of gender inequality).
Read an article from a woman stating women should not be punsished the same for these types of sexual assaults because there is different underlying phsycological reasons for her doing it than a man.
Bullshit I say.
I agree gender equality seems to be only situationally based.
I agree with you about this RiC. Seems that there has been quite a bit of inequality with regard to the sentencing of females and in how the public views it. There have been several cases of this happening here recently and even the media reporting of it seems to view it more leniently. I think anybody who begins a sexual relationship with a minor needs to take a long hard look at themselves. And that anyone who does should be subject to the same laws and punishments regardless of their sex.
well it just makes sense for a guy to carry a heavier bag, I mean we are just built stronger, well most of the time anyway. that's just logical.
holding doors and paying for meals, that's another story.
Um, I hold open doors for men. And if I'm the one doing the asking I pay for the meal too.
And I can carry my own bags even if they are heavy. I wouldn't expect a guy to do it just because he's a guy and he may be stronger.
As to the hitting thing that yosi mentioned, I would hope that no one is hitting anyone. I've only ever hit someone if they've hit me first and even then I've tried to respond by communicating first.
It's hilarious aswell that women complain about not being able to work jobs that require physical labour, but expect men to carry their bags.
Actually my biggest issues of inequality are Domestic Violence disputes and Child Custody battles. Or the fact that society in general trusts women more than men. Statistically speaking, society is wrong on all of these issues.
I hope you're not trying to negate those women who have suffered at the hands of a violent abuser ahnimus. Or trying to trivialize their experience.
I'm assuming not. Because that would dissapoint me.
I can't speak for all victims of Domestic Violence but I can tell you that when you are in it, none of the "services" or laws available to you mean jack shit.
It's about getting through each day as best you can.
And I would assume that is no different for men who are on the receiving end of it.

cool cool, I did'nt mean to include every single female. I was just speaking in averages.
cool cool, I did'nt mean to include every single female. I was just speaking in averages.
Nah, I understand that.
I think lots of girls are brought up to "expect" things from men, just as lots of guys are brought up to "expect" things from women.
And ignoring all the gender roles and marketing at those is really difficult.
But a thousand times over I'd rather be an indepenent person who can look after myself and I'd prefer that in a partner. If you can look after yourself and he can look after himself then you really could aspire to 50/50 partnership. That would be very cool imo! :cool:
I just try to take people, all people, regardless of sex, color, creed, culture, physicality, disability, whatever, as I find them.

Obviously the these people that think you're crazy and ask you why you don't shave have too much a preoccupation with appearance. Go ask the people who are big in personality, rather, what they think and you'll get a different response.

That's the way I've always felt too. Why expect things from other people when you can do it all yourself? And in that way, you attract another independent person and there would never be those "needy" issues that so many people have.

It's the platinum/diamond combo that kills you. Platinum by itself will only cripple you.

well i know multiple women like that. some are in new york city, but there are others elsewhere.
personally, i'd rather take that kind of money and spend it on a nice vacation, or putting it into an apartment or something, you know?

Maybe it's his way of reassuring himself there is such a thing as a "sure thing". Mostly, I think he's just got a case of diarrhea mouth.
