Yes, because it's a mindset. Be a leader. She should be happy to just be with you. If she ain't, drop her.

The wedding is a celebration, but not your typical. It’s a celebration for everyone else, that YOU pay for…

The rings are a sign of your everlasting love and commitment. They don’t have to be expensive, just durable. Your love isn’t measured by how much the ring cost. That’s what society has confused, they only make it about the materials/cost…maybe if people put more focus on the other person/love than they do buying and spending for the rings/wedding, there wouldn’t be so many divorces

big spending on a ring is trying to impress the woman.
If you are trying to impress her you are failing, the power dynamic is wrong.
She has to want to serve and please you, not you.

Unsurprising.

I suspect that it is tied to 2 things: having a partner that isn't vain, and making better financial decisions. That boils down to less financial stress.

If you want to see how materialistic your girl is, ask her if she'd go for a ring with moissanite stones.

Moissanite is almost as hard as diamond (diamond is a 10 on the Mohs scale, moissanite is 9.5), actually shines brighter than diamond, and even tests as a diamond unless you use a more expensive tester that only jewelers use. It's lab made and costs a fraction of what diamonds cost. If you get a nice enough set no one would know.

I knew I had a good one when she schooled me on moissanite. I spent less than $500 on a set that would have easily cost $10K if it were diamond.

If she turns up her nose at it

Expensive wedding rings and weddings can put you in debt and make things stressful


Also, this:

big spending on a ring is trying to impress the woman.
If you are trying to impress her you are failing, the power dynamic is wrong.
She has to want to serve and please you, not you.

like i said in another thread, if she wants you to spend on her, then it means you have to make up for not being what she wants.

If she truly thinks you're the right stuff (genes, swag, ambition, sex, all related) she will want to lock it down

See women were calling us cheap, but what they didn't understand is that we were doing it for love.

Didn’t have a wedding straight to the courthouse. I spent 10k on the engagement ring and band
