Poll of the Day > would you feel cheap buying an $80 engagement ring?

(+) Yeah! (+)

id feel like i saved money
in fact give her some plastic or cheap metal ring she can put ii her funger, just save the money for a wedding ring perhaps

I'm poor so totally biased but it's a scam from the jewelers, the courts, the whole industry.

I like the idea of non traditional rings like one carved out of wood or stone or whatever. I think they can get pretty expensive as well but no where near the diamond/gold standard.

Apart from being a cheap scrub, I do think they can look more interesting, and be more personal as traditional rings are so ubiquitous they're all generic to me. Even fake diamonds can look as good or better than the real thing.

It could be interesting in the future as more and more men become uninterested in dating or relationships as we may see the current trend of men usually chasing the women invert. Women may start to need to try and get the attention and "chase" men to get them interested.

Supposedly this is already the case in certain other cultures to some degree. Not sure if it would ever really happen in the US, but I guess it's possible.

Some day, women may be buying engagement PS4's for their BFs lol.

It'd be less than $80 if it was stolen.

I got a good deal for my wife's ring on ebay. She loves it, and has no idea how much i paid.
