The wedding dress industry is also hurting. Bridal shops have been closing all over the place. David's Bridal, the biggest bridal chain in the country, it went bankrupt.

What? People aren't paying exorbitant prices for worthless rocks? But... But their grandparents fell for that scam so these kids should too because uh because tradition.

Good riddance. Diamond engagement rings are one of the most grotesque scams in human history!

Excellent..."news". Overpriced pieces of compressed carbon for entitled princesses. 'At the very least two or three months of your salary and I've got to keep it if we break up!' Screw that.

Finally realizing that slavery contracts aren’t worth signing, ey?

L0cked4fun · 2023-04-26T02:45:37+00:00

Excellent. Hope part of it is diamond's being a scam gaining ground.

Kyonkanno · 2023-04-26T02:30:10+00:00

Yes, so sad... Anyways...

ExMuzzy · 2023-04-26T12:58:18+00:00

Good.

Women's gender roles are completely optional in the western world. Meanwhile, men are still expect to initiate, romance, propose, be the breadwinner, sign a financial agreement and pay the other person for breaking that agreement.

And nothing of value was lost.

Ask any girl if they’d rather have a $20k ring or $20k on a house down payment and they either say they want the ring or both. Never the house by itself. Fucking scam.

Women should buy their own jewelry.

Marriage is so hostile to men, all the government has to do is make it more equitable to men with a guarantee that it will stay that way, then marriage rates will increase. I have a feeling plenty of guys want to get married, settle down with a girl, and raise a family with a few kids. But with the way the marriage and divorce laws are written, it is currently a punishment for men.

I hear collapse of society from compromised inside actors will do that

Cactus2711 · 2023-04-26T05:17:36+00:00

Good work fellas. If a woman likes you for you, she won’t require a diamond ring

Wld_N_frE · 2023-04-26T13:06:43+00:00

why get married ever again?

partnership and cohabitation is the theme and offers way more legal protection for both parties

Marriage has been screwed up by the government’s involvement as it was never meant to be unfair and one sided. Get the government out of marriage and allow it to be amongst the couple and what they want to agree to in line with their own beliefs.

Master_Crab · 2023-04-26T04:46:34+00:00

You mean people aren’t buying expensive sparkly things when they can’t afford basic necessities like gas or food in this economy?! Whaaaaaa..

Diesel-66 · 2023-04-26T01:54:30+00:00

Also more are going to outside sources. I found a beautiful ring on etsy

So less Slave labor in poor countries used to dig up rocks for those begging to be legal slaves in rich countries. So a good news day

Slap-A-Chav · 2023-04-26T14:54:08+00:00

Engagement rings, bridal shops, marriage rates… Huh… I wonder why, when marriage is nothing but a legal contract of which only women are incentivised to break. 😂

pappo4ever · 2023-04-26T03:20:11+00:00

Independent strong women, have a happy life married to yourselves,.

lifesuckswannadie · 2023-04-26T02:44:25+00:00

000CuriousBunny000 · 2023-04-26T18:23:22+00:00

Great News

jimjam696969 · 2023-04-26T05:20:20+00:00

This may not be so much the fact that men are leaving relationships, but rather economic factors. Cost of living etc etc

Thats-bk · 2023-04-26T14:11:51+00:00

Wonder why? Lol

UnfriskyDingo · 2023-04-26T14:16:16+00:00

I got a really nice aquamarine engagement ring instead of diamond for much cheaper than what an equivalent diamond would cost.
