Woman unhappy with her 'small' $1,671 engagement ring gets slammed online

[Dundebuns]

I picked out a £30 ring when I was engaged. The price does not matter, the thought and feeling behind it does.

There are girls who won't marry fat guys, what's your point?

Do you know his finances? Maybe that's all he could afford.

About six figures.

[ItachiZaku]

I was sad when I saw that scene. I had been planning that (sans the "out of the ass" part) for years! He totally stole my idea!

Cherry flavored?

About six figures.

Just because your salary is nearing 6 figures doesn't mean you don't have a shit load of bills to pay. Thus you do not know his finances

Then he's horrible at finances

[Kathandira]

Also I think the whole engagement ring should cost 3 months salary is a bit BS, but it deffo should cost at least a months worth imo

I don't believe there should be any "should cost" requirements.

The woman in question is just a materialistic gold-digging bitch.

absolutely spot on.

Or he lives in a big city. You do realize the cost of living can very greatly, right?

This is true. It depends a lot on your equity, were and everywhere you live, all of your accumulated taxes (which many rich people don't necessarily master, as many think). Let not forget any annual financial obligations that one may have, such as caring for dependents, children, parents, multiple wives/girlfriends/playthings and such. Most rich people also pay someone else for financial genius if they do not possess it themselves to avoid audits and such.

Speaks volumes about the crap he'd have to put up staying with her.

I'd say it's a blessing in disguise.

[cuafpr]

general rule is 2 months salary should be spent on the ring..... not that I agree but even a quick google shows it.

This rule can get bent, for all I care.

Absolutely!

I'm not sure how it is in America, but 1600$ is like £1200ish, you can get a very nice ring for that price in the UK, even a nice bridal set if that's what you're after, she's not complaining about the ring exclusively, she's whining about how much he paid for it, if you don't think that that much money is a big deal, then you live an extremely sheltered life, and even then, complaining about it like that is a bitch move, loads of women don't really like their engagement rings so they change it pretty much straight away, and no sane guy would mind that

She literallly says she doesn't like the gold or the mounting...

I'd get Lili Simmons a $17K ring. I feel she'd be worth it.

[Deleted]

I'm really curious what she got him that's worth around $2K. Gender equality and all that.

[McTroll]

Gender equality and all that.

Nope. It's a one-way street. You should know that by now.

yeah, and at that you're looking at $20k+, and not a $1k ring. $1k might get you some choice at wal-mart, but not from a decent jeweller.

From the title, I was ready to start in with "wow, another stupid person complaining to stupid people online"... but when your budget is in the 6 figure range, this enables you to pay decent amount of the standard luxuries.

Its like if she complained that she has to take the bus to work every day. Its one thing if you're living off the bare minimum... its another thing entirely when your budget allows you to easily afford a car each.

[StayTuned]

Guy's a pussy. I dropped 3k and make nowhere his salary.

Still wtf, how can she complain... as if it's a toy ring.

[setsuna f seiei]

it's the whole "Small loan of a million $$" all over again, when you're used to gifts that value a lot higher than that and you get something YOU would consider "Cheap" you have every right to be upset as it's below what you're used to. for the cheap ass fuckers like us, if our partner got you a ring valued at $20 you'd be pissed off too.
We only see it as a omg shes a gold digger because it's worth a lot more than what we would pay. Granted the Engagement ring is a lie but w.e is w.e.
