From the article, another woman replying to her:

"If the size of the ring is more important to you than the man who is giving it to you, do him a favour and say no. He deserves better," said Lea

She sums it up perfectly.

I wonder when the last time she bought or did anything for her boyfriend that didn't involve blowing him. I'm gonna guess never.

What an entitled cunt.

[–]captainsquidshark 626 points627 points628 points 8 years ago (68 children) | Copy Link

she seems like the kinda girl who doesnt give blowjobs.

[–][deleted] 322 points323 points324 points 8 years ago (59 children) | Copy Link

I dated her type, can confirm, no bjs.

[–]kazordoon314 237 points238 points239 points 8 years ago (11 children) | Copy Link

The same with my ex of ten years. No bjs. Should have seen the red flags, that were many. She too wasn't happy with her ring, and to compensate, she wanted me to buy her an iphone. Once after divorcing I had a few girlfriends, and was shocked to get bjs from them, and without having to ask!

[–]jeegte12 35 points36 points37 points 8 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

i guess i've just never been in love. i can't imagine liking a person enough for anything like this to not be an obvious split-second decision deal breaker.

"in a vagina"

[–]TripleSkeet 5 points6 points7 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

How do you marry a woman that doesnt suck dick? When I was dating my wife her friend mentioned she didnt do that and I asked her how the fuck she had a boyfriend. She asked me what I would do if my girl decided she didnt want to anymore and I told her thats the day she decides she wants to be single. Thats the one thing thats just not negotiable.

[–]Bomcom 2 points3 points4 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Good on you for recognizing and leaving a unhealthy relationship! Enjoy your bj's!

[–]Scramble187 10 points11 points12 points 8 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

My wife doesn't care about the ring but no bjs. It's not cheating just to get bjs on the side right?

[–]robinrocker1 points 8 years ago [recovered] (2 children) | Copy Link

That's a tough one. I miss those. Married pretty much is the death of bjs. I'd say if you can get side bjs it's allowed.

[–]jmac323 4 points5 points6 points 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

That is so sad. I understand life is busy with careers and children. We work around it to get that intimacy together. We do quickies until we have some time to do more. It works for us. Also, we try to do a little oral sex before so that part isn't neglected. I don't want him to feel like I don't want him, that would break my heart! He is the best thing that ever happened to me.

shouldn't date a woman who won't

[–]ih8lurking 27 points28 points29 points 8 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

You shouldn't date anyone who isn't sexually compatible with you. Whatever you're into, they should be into too. If they're not, release them back into the wild. Hopefully they'll find happiness with someone that appreciates their kinks or lack thereof and that will give you the freedom to do the same.

[–]wiseprogressivethink 22 points23 points24 points 8 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

every man loves blowjobs. a woman denying her man blowjobs is like a man denying his woman orgasms. it's cruel.

[–]Kylar_Stern 8 points9 points10 points 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

I dunno, I've had a few friends over the years that claimed to not like getting bjs. I always thought it was a lack of skilled women in their life, but who knows.

[–]ih8lurking 0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Same here. I don't know... Some guys are shy, some are just fine with it but prefer other stuff. All I'm saying is whatever your into or not into is okay.

[–]KR_Blade 3 points4 points5 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

thats always been my idea of a relationship, especially when sex is involved, find someone who is sexually compatible, and dont be one of those ''wait until you get married for sex'' types because you should be compatible with your lover on every level, including sexual, its pretty much the key to a long lasting relationship, because if you cant get what you want and he/she isnt willing, you should end the relationship, otherwise one or both will cheat to get what they arent getting from the other.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points5 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Hence why I married another. Among many other reasons.

Whether a guy eats pussy or not depends on the guy, not the girl. The thing you said is nonsense. Some gals will claim your dick is so big it chokes her, or that she could never perform such an act, but suck another guy off like a Hoover. For bitches like that, it depends on the guy. Whether or not she's a bitch like that, depends on the girl.

[–]jeegte12 -1 points0 points1 point 8 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link

you said exactly that it is obviously true that whether or not a girl gives a guy a blowjob is dependent on the guy rather than the girl.

[+]killerbake1 points 8 years ago [recovered] (2 children) | Copy Link

Can confirm. As my girlfriend she never did it. We are married now and she does it all the time. She was just inexperienced and shy. We had a talk about it and slowly made her comfortable. Now we both have more fun in the bedroom.

[–]Sooper_trooker 1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

if by blowjob you mean she licked the tip and called it a "blowie" then proceeds to use fake promises of sexual favors to get what she wants. Bet she uses craiglists to find "real men" to fulfill her needs and claims that her man at home can't fulfill her womanly needs or gave "permission".

I just went and grabbed this off CL, there's dozens of ads similar. lots of married or taken bbw's looking for someone to cheat with.

because i saw someone who looks to be struggling right now. Called someone an entitled cunt from an assumption he made which is probably from a hatred on women because they dont give him that much attention. I could be wrong though and everything is good, and thats good cause then everyone wins :)

[+][deleted] -29 points-28 points-27 points 8 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

i mean, to buy that ring you'd have to be pretty fucking retarded. theres no point in buying a diamond that small, it just looks pathetic. either get another stone or a fake diamond

and yes, all western women are materialistic, if not now then later. once they see what their friend's husband is giving her, they compare themselves in that way. which is also why money is one of the if not the #1 leading cause of divorce

[–]atheista 15 points16 points17 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I'm no woman hater but jesus it's hard not too. I'm glad I'm a generation ahead of these morons I woulda lost my shit seeing this trash everywhere in my age group.

[–]icantbelieveitsnobut 2 points3 points4 points 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

No dude. You don't even know. I'm a girl who can't wear makeup for 2-3 weeks cause of an allergic reaction which is whatever for me.

In this span of a week I've seen makeup trends emerge that make me cringe. I do costume makeup too so it's not like I haven't seen some weird stuff, but there's this wiggle brow and lipstick trend that make a good buzzfeed article, and other trends emerging. It's baffling.

Tbh makeup is partially for girls partially for boys. I say partially cause were not always wearing it for you guys, but we can't deny we don't do it without the thought in mind. It's like when you give yourself that last onceover before work and you're like, I look fuckin good. It feels good to look good and reflects on your hygiene traits.

I can take an hour to two depending on how much effort, time, fun I'm having. It is fun to paint your face I won't deny it, but if you feel like you're being fooled by makeup, maybe you're dating the wrong girl? Not all of us wear makeup, and in the type who gives no shits so chances are you will see my natural face.

But tbh i think girls who choose to not wear makeup, unless their flawless (which cmon no one is) get flack too. You don't care about your image, you're hygiene is lacking, you don't take care of yourself etc. It's a double edged sword

[–]TheInverseFlash 1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

You can be mostly flawless and not need makeup. Especially if your "flaws" are stuff like a well placed mole or freckles or something. Aren't girls supposed to care more about skin hygiene than men even? Most men don't wear makeup.

You wanna marry me? You better buy a big ring and pay lots of money for it and I don't give a shit. If you don't buy it you don't love me.

The settings and gold is worth money; the wholesale prices of diamonds are fucking nothing. This is why you constantly see diamong rings with big sales: jewelers buy them for like 10% of list price, then mark list price down by 60% and make their serious money on the metal.

Her engagement ring is a 100 year old family heirloom with worthless rocks, cost me nothing. Our pure silver wedding rings were bought at a jeweler friends shop for 30 USD in total.

We are actually quite wealthy for the aree we live in, making more than ten times what I assumeto be the average. We are however in complete agreement that spending lots of money on stuff like that is just plain silly. I love my wife, hah.

I'm considering just a ring tattoo. You can never lose it and it's a pretty obvious commitment.

Sadly it's not very unique at all. It's so common that the US Army has a special rule exempting them from the "no hand tattoos" regulations.

Still, it's a pretty great idea to me. Much more symbolic of commitment than an intrinsically worthless rock.

Yeah, that's fucking ludicrous. Three months of a paycheck for most people represents, what, like a year or two of savings? Okay, maybe post-tax paycheck, that's still probably a year of savings for most people.

For a fucking ring?

If I spend three months of my pay on a ring for a girl, she better be buying me a fucking car in return. Alternatively, take note: I will accept a Dart billet aluminum 427 with dart heads, forged internals, the works, assembled and tested and installed and tuned.

Anchoring.

Three months' pay anchors high expectations. I mean, one months' pay is still quite nice - and it's far more than one might pay if they never heard about the three-months thing.

It's kinda hard to tell seeing as my income was mostly hidden back then. I had housing and food paid for.

I told her I wanted to draw something on her hand. I then made her close her eyes. I wrote "will you marry me" and had her open her eyes.

My wife got a 250$ engagement ring. We bought our wedding bands together at a pawn shop. This is one of the many reasons my wife is fucking amazing.

I look at all this bulls hit woman behaviour now and think "what in the flying fuck?".

The fact that anyone would put up with such horrible and toxic people is astounding.

[–]PaigeTheGreat1 points 8 years ago* [recovered] (12 children) | Copy Link

I got mine from the "she said no" collection.

It was the ring I wanted and happened to be there. I paid quite a bit less.

Everyone told me I could never tell my wife. Like I'm supposed to hide that info from the ring holder till the end of time.

Not that she cared when I told her. She even said she would have been upset if I paid full.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points8 points 8 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

I agree. My wife and I spent a total off 3000$ on our wedding, and reception.

We also had them 2 months apart so we could avoid debt. All of our guests said it was a great reception and very cool and relaxed. For our first dance I asked all the couples to come up and dance with us and to remember what they loved most about each other.

Her and I decided our marriage was more important than our wedding. This is the second marriage for each of us.

She actually reads through this sub with me and laughs at the trashy bitches getting ko'd when they deserve it. She doesn't believe in feminism and allows me to lead the household. We still make important decisions together, we always discuss our finances, and she is the first woman I've ever bent over backwards to please and keep happy not because she demands it but because she's fucking worth it.

[–]PaigeTheGreat1 points 8 years ago* [recovered] (1 child) | Copy Link

Glad you're happy. You two sound like good people.

Our wedding was also not very expensive at all.

We didn't do the courthouse thing so many friends of mine did. (Married by babylock)

The funny part is our home life is pretty much the same as you explained. I get people at work who tell me about how I need to not let her have that control. That one day they will be laughing when she drains the bank account. (These are the same dudes who can't trust their wives on business trips) yet they will criticize and act like they got it figured out.

Sad part is other sane couples are few and far between. So I guess we mostly just have each other!

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I agree. I find a lot if people have this Hollywood romance idea of marriage.

I mean she asks me permission to do things. I've never told her she should she just does. It actually bothers me. But if she feels strongly about something she will definitely let me know. It's not a power struggle. I'm definitely not a dictator of the house but she trusts me to make the right decision about things. And she trusts that I will always discuss decisions with her.

She definitely isn't dependent on me, she actually is the higher earner, she's always been independent.

We have a really interesting story too since we didn't just meet and end up together. We both ended up with other people and ended those long term relationships within a couple months together and by then had known each other for 7 years.

At the end of the day, we try really hard to take care of each other's needs. Our families have integrated very well with one another.

We've also gone through some extremely hard times together. Things bad enough that I would never even discuss them here. Some of which we are still dealing with. These are things that caused damage to both of our extended families as well. We resolved to work through it no matter what.

The way we view our marriage is that we have decided to team up in life and deal with each others issues co-operatively. Once those are taken care of we can go on enjoying life together.

In 1998 my wife got a small, very inexpensive ruby engagement ring. She was very gracious about it.

We were saving for a home, and didn't have a lot of money.

She gave us three beautiful children. Didn't work a lot in paid employment, but worked harder than me, raising the kids and building a home.

16 years later I replaced the ring. She still wears the original on her right hand. Now she has a 35k engagement ring.

Never once did she criticise, or complain.

Good woman.

If she had of complained, she would have been gone. But I was lucky enough to have picked better.

Some of the smallest rings can actually be the most valuable/costly. It's all about the type/cut/colour/etc. of the stone and the metal of the band, etc etc etc. Also, not sure if it mentions where the guy bought it, but what if it's a family heirloom or something? That's basically priceless and whether it is bought or passed on this bitch should be grateful...actually, this bitch should just be left in the dust.

I'm just gonna say that I'm definitely siding with the girl on this one. That's a joke of a ring and nothing I'd be proud to give someone to show off to her friends. Because in the end, that's what the stupid ring is for. Giving no ring, or a non precious ring with some heft, would have been much better choices.

Overpaying for a piece of jewelry you already know your significant other will not like is pretty stupid on his part. If you don't know her well enough to buy a ring that she likes, that's a bad sign. If you're so bad at finance that you get a bad deal for this shitty jewelry, you're not really marriage material. You can get a ring your beloved would enjoy for a good price with effort and research. I've seen couples forgo diamonds for an opal stone, which is beautiful and much more affordable. If she didn't want to wear it every day, would he be insulted? Let's be honest, it is an ugly piece of jewelry on its own AND he was ripped off for it. There's more to it than just the ring.

[–]TopBloke99 7 points8 points9 points 8 years ago (10 children) | Copy Link

What she likes is fat sacks of cash; and to rub that in the faces of others. Hypergamy. She wants a financially and socially successful man to spoil her.

If you know where to get money for cheap, do share.

[–]HangTheDJHangTheDJ -4 points-3 points-2 points 8 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

No one should marry anyone whose finances are not together. Even if you're not making a lot of money. Your credit should be good and your habits should be reasonable, if not entirely well regulated. Someone who does not budget is not someone anyone should marry.

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points11 points 8 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

And somebody who wants to be spoiled likely doesn't give a shit about the value of money.

[–]HangTheDJHangTheDJ -5 points-4 points-3 points 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

That's bullshit. I would refuse to accept the proposal of someone who did not get me a ring that I would like. I don't need an expensive one. And I'm fine with a non-diamond stone. But if your propose and come to me with a shitty, ugly ring like that, I'm not going to say yes. You should know me well enough to know I will not wear that ring because it is ugly as fuck.

I literally sat today and clipped coupons to save on groceries. That doesn't mean I will accept a ring that no thought went into.

If you're going to be someone's husband, you should at least know what they like. And also what they would not like.

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points11 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

This is about the fucking size of the ring. Not the appearance. Read the title of the post.

Size = cost

That's the whole fucking point. She's upset about the COST. Not the actual "prettiness" of the ring. Not about how much thought went into it.

She's upset about the cost.

[–]HangTheDJHangTheDJ -5 points-4 points-3 points 8 years ago* (5 children) | Copy Link

Everyone wants someone with their shit together. She shouldn't be denigrated for it, nor should anyone else, man or woman. You can't put no effort into your career and financial choices (budgeting, credit, savings if possible, etc) and expect someone to still find you an ideal partner. In a marriage you share that shit. It has to be at least budgeted to your needs in order to be successful. How can you raise a family with someone who has less than $1000 in savings? It's a shitty truth. But it is still a truth.

Edit for clarity: there is no shame in sitting together on a Saturday morning and CLIPPING FUCKING COUPONS to save money. You need to do what you must to keep your finances together as a team! I would not be with someone who doesn't know how to find ways to maintain their financial health. A man who does not know how to shop effectively is not one I want. Money management is important for everyone. Rich or poor. That is your fucking livelihood. He clearly does not understand how to find alternatives for an event that is understandably so important to her. An opal stone or some other stone would have been cheaper and not so fucking ugly. It's an ugly ring. That is indisputable.

[–]ArgonGryphon 11 points12 points13 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Spending a lot of money on a stupid rock is not good financial decision making.

[–]morerokk 3 points4 points5 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Right, I would want an SO who makes good financial decisions. Whining because her ring isn't big enough? That's a pretty terrible decision, if you ask me.

The financially sane thing to do, would be no ring. Or maybe a really cheap one.

So you think that shallow party girl has a thousand dollars in the bank? If not, he should dump her, right?

[–]HangTheDJHangTheDJ 0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Yes. You shouldn't be with someone who bleeds your resources and doesn't put effort into their own. Not for men. Nor for women. Not for gay men. Not for lesbian women. Not for trans people. You gotta make sure you're with someone who knows how to maintain their resources responsibly! You also shouldn't BE someone who can't create/follow a budget. At any income level. Yes, shit happens that can put you into debt, but you need to figure out how to dig yourself out. There are ways, even if it's hard. In a partnership, you share this responsibility. You need to be with someone who will be a teammate for that. It's important to be independent, together.

[–]TopBloke99 0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I think that the consensus in this thread is that the subject is a wannabee trophy wife that is into status symbols for the purposes of social climbing.

And I agree about the "manage your resources" thing. It ended my marriage in February.

[–]mitzibishi1 points 8 years ago* [recovered] (2 children) | Copy Link

why the need for a ring? this is the year 2017. is the proposal not enough? the commitment to one person for "life".

do we really need an ownership ring in these times? Just like we do not need a dowry.

do we really need a lavish church wedding that costs a fortune when husband and wife to be have never stepped in a church since childhood.

do we really need a fairytale wedding because she wants to feel like a princess for a day, and if it doesnt happen the guy does not truly love her.

What age are we living in when an adult is cheered on for living out a disney fairytale that costs a fortune, rather than focus on the actual marriage its become a me, me, me horse drawn carriage and massive white dress bullshit where the actual marriage last 3 years before divorce.

The extravagant ceremonies to PROVE love on dollar amount spent did not make the the coupling any stronger even though the need for it was so strong.

I want my Disney fairytale to, i want to dress up as Luke Skywalker for the day and pretend to be a Jedi. Or you just dont truly love me.

I would be laughed t hard and loud, told to grow up manchild.

At least Luke Skywalker did something had struggles and accomplished, a princess does nothing but "princess". But thats maybe the point.

Weddings are a sham man.

Get married in a forest with flowers in your hair with a pretty dress with close friends and family.

All you need is that and your man.

[+]HangTheDJHangTheDJ -12 points-11 points-10 points 8 years ago* (1 child) | Copy Link

I never fucking said he should have spent an unreasonable amount, dipshit. I said he should know her well enough to know that ring is not one she likes. I'm willing to bet his feelings would be hurt if she hated the ring so much that she didn't want to wear it daily.

There are reasonable ways to follow this tradition, which may be stupid but is important to her, without having to make a poor financial decision or buy such a garbage piece of jewelry.

If you're planning on proposing, you should know what kind of aesthetic your SO likes at the very least. There are non-diamond rings that are relatively inexpensive that could have easily been a better option.

Why are you proposing to someone if you don't know them well enough to buy a single piece of jewelry for her? He put ZERO thought into this and she gets called ungrateful because she isn't into it. It's bullshit. It should have at least been thoughtful and well planned. Clearly he didn't ask any of her friends or family their opinion on it prior to purchase. Poor planning.

She also should know whether or not he is someone with enough career ambition and resource to be a partner to her and not someone who she may have to support. I would not be with someone who has a low paying job or poor credit in their 30s who could not afford a piece of jewelry I like for such a major thing like an engagement.

[–]HiMyNameIsRay1 points 8 years ago* [recovered] (5 children) | Copy Link

  1. Nobody mentioned the price of the ring

  2. Spoiled children who throw a fit over getting an engagement ring that's not exactly what they wanted don't make good spouses. Unless you like taking advantage of your spouse, then go marry all the children you want.

[+]HangTheDJHangTheDJ -9 points-8 points-7 points 8 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

If you're buying her a ring you know she will hate, then the whole relationship is doomed to begin with. I'm saying there are less costly options that she wouldn't hate having to wear daily. It's give and it's take. How can you want to propose to someone and do such a bad job picking the ring? It's also a sign he does not pay attention to her style preferences and that he doesn't know her well enough. Again. There are beautiful pieces you can buy for relatively cheaply. She discussed on the Twitter thread he got ripped off for it. The ring is ugly. Objectively. It's not a piece of jewelry anyone would want to wear daily. Having paid too much for it makes it ugly and a poor financial decision.

[–]ArgonGryphon 7 points8 points9 points 8 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

I'm gonna counter you saying it's ugly, I think it's perfectly fine, if I had a diamond engagement ring, I'd like something simple and not over the top flashy like the ring in the picture. It's classic and will never be ugly.

[–]HangTheDJHangTheDJ 0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Oof. Definitely will have to disagree with you there. But still. He should have known her well enough to know she would not line the ring.

[–]ArgonGryphon 6 points7 points8 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

If you look on the twitter, it's not her hand anyway, she's much darker skin toned. So some nice lady was probably super excited to get engaged, posts a picture, and this shallow cunt just shits all over her ring.

So what does the man get in this? man desires a a wife, he gets it, he is happy.

Woman desires engagement AND expensive rock. She gets it and sill not happy because of rocks money value.

I bet there are a lot of women who are disgruntled because money value is not as high as they wished.

Its like they are being bought and money value comes into how much they are worth, yet they proclaim they are modern wymyn and dont want to be owned, yet impose these social rules upon men.

They could spend that money on a holiday or redoing a part of their house or preparing for a child.

But no, expensive rock that only lasts for engagement to marriage, Gold ring for marriage and expensive princess for a day wedding or he dose not truly love me.
