I have spent too much time trying to figure out what side to go to. So, I choose this side. The
reason: My own experience.
I can't judge all situations and circumstances because all situations and circumstances in peoples
lives are different. Some men are serious, while others have no idea how to be serious.
Unfortunately, many men are afraid to commit, because they feel as if they are giving up freedom.
What freedom are they talking about? Freedom to booze out, burn out, bum out, and freak out anytime
they want? That is a bunch of horseshhh...you know what I am saying.
Anyway, before I go off in another direction. Yes, I agree...for the most part. |

What would be the point of proposing without a blimmin' ring??at least a tawdry bit of
grass......
Really if it is all you can manage?, maybe a word with the old man, tell him you are a bit
short.eh? |

Generally I agree. I'm sure there are exceptions, like if they're suddenly pulled away to fight a
war and their last act is to propose, but the vast majority of the time the guy has time to prepare
and save and come up with something. Even if the ring doesn't have a diamond the guy an come up
with a ring of some kind if they try. Without the ring it hints they're really not trying. But, I
also buy Calvin's story that in their case he didn't have a ring and it all worked out fine. |

If the girl says not the guy has a random ring he will never want to see again as it would be filled
with bad memories. |

As far as I can tell, when my parents got married (28ish years ago) there was never an official
proposal - they both sort of knew, and they must have had a mutual talk about it some point. It
wasn't this whole formal thing where the man got down on one knee with a ring all ready. The
proposal seems a rather old fashioned way to me. |

Nowadays I don't think anyone that proposes actually takes it seriously.
"Will you marry me?"
"Yes, you've made me the happiest girl in the world. So how long do you want to stay married?"
"I was thing 1 to 4 years. We can cut it off right after we have a few kids." |

If they spend money on a ring that sounds pretty serious to me |

Don't let your personal experience destroy your views on men in general. In order to have a loving
marriage you need three things. Intimacy, Commitment, and Passion. Money shouldn't be a factor, if
your committed then marriage is eminent in the future. You don't need a ring, or money to be
committed. |

When I proposed to my wife I didn't have a ring or a job at the time. She said yes, Her mother
sponsored us a ring one year later and since then I've moved on to build my career, had 2 kids and
made over a half million dollars in income for my family. We have now been married for 11 years.
Later I was able to Buy her a nice big Diamond ring.
The ring is not the "Serious" indicator. Actually If a guy proposes nowadays, there is a good
chance that he's serious, unless he was pressured in to proposing. However If he changed his mind it
is not necessarily because he wasn't serious. He could be afraid, Discouraged, or something
unrelated. |
