What I find really hysterical is the fact that these sorts of statements generate a race to the bottom - a sort of pickmesha olympics. No doubt some other pickmeshia responded to the post with "oh yeah sis A 20$ RING!!!! you gold digger!! You should be happy if a man proposes to you with a Burger King onion ring!"

She can enjoy her finger turning green then🙃

And another thing...

I'll just be grateful that someone is actually proposing to me.

I won't. I've had half a dozen men try to hit me with a low effort "proposal," as have most women I know. It's not flattering in the slightest for some loser to ask you to commit to him (FOREVER!!) with the same level of enthusiasm he would have for eating a tuna sandwich.

It's completely and utterly fucking dehumanizing because you realize in that moment you're just a box being checked.

"I don't care if the physical symbol of our eternal commitment to each other costs less than 5% of what the gaming console he replaces every 3-4 years does! As long as he occasionally pretends to love me for five minutes prior to ninety seconds of unfulfilling sex 😍"

I got proposed to with a piece of scratched up tacky costume jewelry that was given to him by a friend of his. It was so ugly, and like 3 sizes too big for me. I was definitely coerced into saying yes and accepting it, and I fucking hated the damn ring. When I left him he asked for it back and I laughed and tossed it in the box with the rest of his shit. Ive gotten nicer jewelry for myself from Goodwill.

SerShrike · 2020-07-28T19:41:05+00:00

An ex wanted to use his mom's old engagement ring. Not for any emotional attachment to it. The ring itself was just showing some wear and tear so his mom decided to get a new (prettier) one.

Noooooo. He just didn't want to put the time or money in to buy a ring.

I noped right out of there.

Lol go ahead and have him, that means one less scrote out there bothering the rest of us

devoushka · 2020-07-28T18:22:22+00:00

Truly amazing how men convinced women that marriage only benefits us and is a favor they're doing for us. What does a woman actually get out of being married other than being able to flex on insecure single women. And without a rock you don't even have anything material to flex.

Sage_Planter · 2020-07-28T18:10:23+00:00

Ugh. My bicycle (yes, like bike I ride on the roads outside) was over $3,000. Somehow I'm supposed to be excited about a ring symbolizing my relationship I'm supposed to wear every day for life that costs less than a piece of exercise equipment I use on the weekends? No way. Come on.

smokeandfireflies · 2020-07-29T01:07:43+00:00

My then-boyfriend proposed to me with the pull tab from a can of soda as a ring. I was 19, and thought it was cute. I accepted his proposal and told him not to buy me a ring, bc we were just poor young soldiers. I stayed unhappily married to that man for 30 years, and tomorrow our divorce will be final. I made excuses for his poverty, and you know what, he never leveled up. Never learned to save, never learned to reign in his spending, never learned to buy quality things. Im sick, thinking of the money I have watched that man waste over the last 30 years. I’m a poorer person today (financially) than I would have been had I not allowed a man to get away with cheapness from the very beginning.

The ring he chooses is symbolic of a lot of things, and romantic love is the least of them.

painmakesyoustronger · 2020-07-28T18:15:16+00:00

It’s sad how ignorant young women are about marriage. Myself included, previously.

Marriage benefits the men much more than the women, unless he is of remarkably high value.

You want to cook every meal, do all the cleaning, pay half the bills or more, watch him play video games, catch him on dating apps, ignore his porn addiction, put your credit score and finances at risk, have him cheat on you while pregnant, drink to excess, abuse you, possibly have your children taken away or pay child support one day, never have time to work out or see friends, have him spend his free time with the boys, endure his in laws, be taken for granted after the honeymoon period, share your assets.... all so he can leave you for a 27 year old stripper when he’s 68 and take part of your hard earned pension after 50 years of dedication to him to fund their new lifestyle? (Last one is a true story of a family friend, sadly)

No freakin thanks.

They are hopeless without a woman. We don’t need them. They need us. Don’t forget it, next time you feel like pushing for a ring.

2020-07-28T17:54:42+00:00

Sounds like low self esteem. :(

Jinxhourglass · 2020-07-28T18:01:25+00:00

So her @ is referencing being saditty but she’s promoting this broke nonsense lmao. Make it make sense.

FDSxMuffinVSrat · 2020-07-28T18:14:48+00:00

"lol I'm desperate"

chateauduchat · 2020-07-28T18:59:39+00:00

What a lot of words to essentially say “Pick me please.”

meecy166 · 2020-07-28T23:18:11+00:00

Chile there is a lot of women like these, a lot of them can’t be saved, as empathetic as I am sometimes you just gotta leave this women alone, they live in la la land, and they are happy this way, I just stay away from them

PinkElephant20 · 2020-07-29T04:30:21+00:00

He better spend way more than than if he expects me to pop out his kids...ugh...so many of these pickmeishas out there. What other standards are you dropping for him? Open marriage? He can stay home and not work? Ugh!

venomous_g · 2020-07-28T19:13:47+00:00

Spoiler: She's single, and will never be proposed to. Not even with a popsicle stick. That 20 dollar ring is still too much!

I'd feel sorry for her but that account is full of woman hating dickmatization so let's just point and laugh because she's trying so hard to appeal to the lowest common denominator yet still won't be chose. Silly ass.

darling89 · 2020-07-28T19:17:03+00:00

Fucking hell, has it really come to this...

jointsbeforesex · 2020-07-28T22:24:37+00:00

Self love not found.

StillRecipe · 2020-07-28T19:18:18+00:00

I was proposed to with a piece of garbage like this… I lost it in an Uber I think… And he still had the nerve to complain that I didn’t wear my wedding ring🙄

Pasdepromesses · 2020-07-28T22:48:43+00:00

How I read this, is that she literally doesn’t give a fck about her engagement ring or the person who’s going to propose. Could be anyone with any ring and she’d be grateful. Smh.

sushiwalrus · 2020-07-28T18:21:09+00:00

Lmao eww.

Hell to the no...love don’t pay the bills...show me you invest in ME (and all that I’M about to invest) and our future, or else—the door! Mine has only upgraded and will continue to over the years—just like I’ve upgraded and done a bomb-ass job as a wife and mother over the years. Never settle ladies, if they can save for game rigs and other toys, they can invest in YOU.

Qi_ra · 2020-07-28T23:18:53+00:00

For real tho, I’ve never understood why people spend so much on fancy diamond rings. I would much rather have something like sapphire or ruby. Something with color and character. It doesn’t have to cost a small fortune- but it should be quality and (obviously) a real stone.

crispy_cookie · 2020-07-28T21:56:16+00:00

I would tell him to put that ring where the sun don't shine😂 C'mon sis you deserve way better! Wake up

_AnnairdA_ · 2020-07-28T22:39:15+00:00

And she has the nerve to has sadity in her username? Smh.

gcthrowaway2019 · 2020-07-28T23:31:43+00:00

Damn not even $200 but $20. I spend more than that at Claire's and Body Candy!

phobi_wankenobi · 2020-07-29T00:53:43+00:00

I would love like a $800 engagement ring and a more expensive wedding band. I just want it to be pretty and last awhile. I would rather have a super nice proposal than a expensive ring. Maybe not public, but have a videographer and photographer, somewhere pretty, maybe some fire works and celebratory stuff after.

Phoenix__Rising2018 · 2020-07-29T01:31:27+00:00

"grateful" some lvm scrote wants to use you for the rest of his life!

mybellyhurts_ · 2020-07-29T04:49:31+00:00

Nah, I can buy myself a $20 ring I like. Even better, I can buy myself a $500 ring I like. If a guy proposes with a $20 ring he doesn’t value you as much as you value yourself.

leftclicksq2 · 2020-07-29T07:45:22+00:00

Oh... My God. She's truly doesn't think highly of herself.

_tinyimp · 2020-07-29T03:01:46+00:00

when the guy u like only has 20$ in his bank account

ivy176 · 2020-07-29T01:22:55+00:00

The only issue I have with expensive solitaire engahement rings is that they can never get the prongs right. May not bother some people but it's always sooooo imperfect and not fully aligned, or different shapes. It drives me crazy if the piece was really expensive. I sometimes wish my husband got me something a bit cheaper because my ring frustrates me a lot and they just can't fix it properly. Also a diamond can be quite small and be really expensive or huge and cheaper. I'm not sure if anyone would look at mine on my finger and think it's expensive because it's a very modest size and dainty ring. But $20? Hell no, I'm allergic to a bunch of metals and it's something you wear for a long time.

Person0fLand · 2020-07-29T06:48:21+00:00

Remember gals, 2 months. Whatever he tries to give you is half of what you should expect the damn parasite to earn a month.
