Is it a good idea these days? Also, is buying a diamond ring necessary?

I feel like if you have to ask the degenerates on a dying ski forum these questions you aren’t ready

I wouldnt get married even if there was a gun being held to my head.

marriage = gibs to equalize gender financial parity. As if disparity could not possibly be fair lol

nothing more, nothing less

I’m married and I like it, also I think lab created diamonds are the move, they are the exact same as natural diamonds but way cheaper. The whole, “if you value your relationship you need a real mined diamond” thing is propaganda from jewelry companies

Couldnt agree more. Its like would you rather have a claw of a fished lobster or a whole lobster that was raised in a farm.



tetrahedral carbon is tetrahedral carbon. If you give a shit whos colon your heroin flew to america in youre doing it wrong.

I like being married, it's neat.

The diamond thing depends solely on the person you would be giving it to. If they think it's unnecessary then don't do it. If they expect a massive ring then do it, and by do it I mean run.

my girl has picked out her own ring but also picked out a very modest ring so it's difficult to tell how crazy she is

Statistically there is a 50% percent chance of losing 50% of your assets and paying child support that you cant afford. People prop up "strong independent women" but get real quiet when you bring up divorce court.

Use a family ring or get something vintage. Most down to earth girls don’t need a 20,000 dollar diamond, I mean I guess if your family is loaded or whatever then who cares anyway

Indeed. I would buy a 20k ring just to test a girl for golddigger status. If she makes me take it back she is a keeper. But if she said oh thats beautiful and accepts it, i would end the relationship right then and there.



and yes of course i would snatch the ring back. I need to waste 20k like i need a cock in my ass.

Also, its a bad deal no matter what for the guy if things go south - and they do literally half the time.

Op this is just a random fact, but depending on the state, the ring is still technically yours if the wedding falls through and they're legally required to pay or return it back. Until you sign those documents...

Good idea

Diamond ring is necessary but as people said, lab or family is the way to go there.

Get a prenup

I am married and its great. Its nice to have a woman by your side and know you always have each other. Its not something you think about when your young but when you start to get close to 30 its nice to settle down and have kids and stuff.

I also agree with lab grown diamonds. Diamond Nexus has good synthetic and lab grown diamonds depending on your budget. Both are visually impossible to tell from real diamonds. Its cool to support companies doing this instead of making the shitheads at De Beers rich off their monopoly and African slave labor. I got my wife some diamond earrings from them a few years ago and its crazy to see them for how much they look 'real'.

If you need justify it, especially with advice from an ancient skiing form, don’t do it.

Also synthetic diamonds are neat.

Yeah the diamond is necessary. You have to steal the hope diamond and forge a band specifically for her finger and the hope diamond or else no woman will ever marry you

I love being married (7+ years), and your "statistics" are also incomplete and dated. I'd be the one losing my ass(ets) if my husband and I ever split, and I'm a strong, independent woman. Marriage is still 100% worth it to me, but it's not for everyone. My sister and her partner have been together almost as long as my husband and I have. They aren't married, but they have a child and are happy.

Regarding diamonds: I told my husband numerous times before we were engaged that I never wanted diamonds (for multiple reasons). He's very old-school with certain things and ended up buying me a ring with ten of them (small ones) for our engagement. I love the sentimentality of the ring but still wish he would have gone non-traditional. I love to wear other rings with semi-precious stones (labradorite, opal) in lieu of my engagement ring, but I most often wear a silicone ring.

Point is: if she says she doesn't want a diamond, don't buy a diamond. If she does, I concur with the lab-created recommendations.

this is the internet, if you say the word "marriage" it summons Internet Guys who want to talk about divorce court and how 50% of marriages end in divorce (which is a myth)

Statically, 50% of people are weak, selfish shitheads who get married for the wrong reasons like pleasing their church or because they had a child together.
