How small can it be without most girls becoming disappointed?

Let's say a guy doesn't make a lot of money and can only afford a 1/32 carrot engagement ring. Would a girl be disappointed? How small can an engagement ring be without the girl becoming disappointed?

I think she woudn't be disappointed if the ring is 'small', but your love for her is big. Don't think women need only money... Sometimes they would ask you to buy them things only b/c they want attention, not only out of greed and other stuff like that.

Bah. The whole diamond thing is a lot of over-hyped sh!te to make diamond companies rich. Diamond rings and putting a 'value' on how much you love someone sucks.

You are never, EVER, going to get laid. Ever.

If you were an egg, you'd remain inside the chicken for all eternity.


You made me repeat the chicken/egg analogy.

I do hope that you don't use a carrot on top of an engagement ring...girls frown on that (I know!)

if you buy something that makes sense for your budget , then if she doesn't like it, tell her not to let the door hit her on the way out

What do you mean a new low? StormRider has been posting idiotic topics like this for years. He needs to get it through his thick skull that neither he nor his asinine attempts at innuendo are humorous.

Buy her the smallest ring you can find. Tell her that's all you can afford. Then if she doesn't complain and says she loves you anyway plunk down like 6-8 months of your salary on a huge rock and tell her you were just kidding/testing her.

Course if she fails and calls you a cheapskate, find another woman.

not the size of the boat but the motion in the ocean? nah, that's probably just a load of crap.

He-he, most women can figure out the testing things as quick as you can wink an eye, and would pretend they enjoy the ridiculously small ring in anticipation of that huge stone you have in mind to buy. They see you right through, all your inner thoughts and intentions.

Make sure it's bright orange, paint it if you have to. Nothing worse than a discoloured carrot.
