re: deBeers - wasn't this part of the class action suit for their manipulation and control of the supply?

So basically maybe men as a whole need to try to get Sony (big screen TV's), NFL teams (season tickets), or someone else to start marketing something that men would want that would come with marriage?

AZ - I spent quite a bit more than 5K, and have all the good stuff.

This one you're wrong on, if you have the means and want to spend it, then go ahead and do so.

okay riz/zero,

I am not trying to go off on some crusade saying marriage is bad for men, but making the point that men in general are normally more reluctant to get married than women yet still have to spend quite a bit of money on a wedding ring as part of the process...I find this a bit funny.

I am not saying marriage is going to stink for men so the woman should have to give them something to compensate, but just talking about the fact men are in general more hesitant to get married.

My fiancee is paying more for our honeymoon than I spent on the ring. I think I am definitely coming out ahead on this deal.

Although I may have to mention wildmans idea to her. That would just be freaking awesome.

AgentZero is correct. Even entertainment is starting to catch up. Havent you people seen HIMYM?

Wrong - unless you don't mind VDs, fleas, lice, and the thought that you're about to stick your ***** into something that's essentially a used up ***-dumpster.


To the OP - I'm very happily married, the only thing I don't get is random wool - which given the mental state of the vast majority of women, would be way too much crap to deal with... and not worth it, even if it were allowed.

I've arrived at a point in life where I've decided that sechs isn't worth all the hoops I have to jump through to get it. Kind of liberating, really...

Ha ha! Riz uses cheap hookers. Don't be poor and get quality.


also, you may get banned for the use of the slang for semen.

My husband bought my engagement ring.

I bought both wedding bands and paid for the honeymoon.

Excellent post-lunch thread.

Paying for a really nice honeymoon sounds like the most realistic deal at this point.

NA - I've actually never been with a hooker, don't want to - all of them just seem very dirty to me (not dirty in a good way, just dirty).

Thanks for the heads up on the slang, edited.

Should I worry that my husband seems to be a hooker expert?

You should be more worried that he is a blow expert.

No, he's paying high dollar for the clean ones.



Move along...

That's okay then. As long as they are clean!

I'll go back to reading the threads about babies.
