Since "young men buy over 90% of all engagement rings" it would be crucial to inculcate in them the idea that diamonds were a gift of love: the larger and finer the diamond, the greater the expression of love.

If you bought a five thousand dollar diamond and tried to sell it the next day. You would be lucky to get a thousand for it. It depreciates just like your bride.

The trick is to buy the ring from another desperate dude at the real price so that you are not ripped off. Usually the markup for buying jewelry at a proper store is like 5x and the average male while knowledgeable about many prices in the real world is usually oblivious to the real value of useless jewelry so they're an easy scam.

lol, someone would have had a very hard time explaining that to me at any age of my youth. I've always been about equal effort in a relationship, which is possibly why I struck out so hard.
