Nothing like bragging about your proposal with a $76 ring while playing video games to the freaking New York Times.

Cubic zirconias tend to get cloudy with daily use. They’re a bad alternative to diamonds.

I don’t like diamonds for mostly moral reasons, specially after dating an African man, but cubic zirconias are bad.

PickMes just love to flaunt how unmaterialistic they are until they're standing in a pawn shop, desperately trying to scrape together enough money to leave their cheating/abusive husband. Bet in moments like those they sure wish they'd insisted on actual gold and valuable gems!

Thank you for supporting journalism and reading the NYT (I work for a metro paper, for context) 💕

Ladies. I think y’all need to hear some truth. Cuz it took me to come to this realization.

Do not accept these lame ass proposals, cheap dates, etc. hoping men pick you because you see their potential. Why? Because when these men even reach their potential (if ever), they will not stay with you.

MEN DO NOT VALUE LOYALTY! They will trade you for someone “better” in a heartbeat.

Don’t be the starter girlfriend/wife. Kids do not even guarantee his loyalty.

Look at Jeff Bezos. I mean, seriously.

Oh lord you can get a ring that actually lasts for twice that much if you're skint, why settle for something that'll cloud up?

Even from a practical (cheap) standpoint why would you want to wear a cheap ring for the rest of your life (going to look ugly, nasty, turn finger Shrek green) when you can cough up the money now for a durable, nice ring. I never understood the whole "we're not materialistic!" and then get a cheap ring.

Like not being materialistic would mean not dropping like not dropping 20k on a ring when a 2k ring looks the same and is just as durable. Like a $76 ring??? I've had more valuable/durable jewellery than that as an infant.

And that ring won't even last as long as their trash marriage
