How important is a good engagement ring?

A question for both genders. Guys, do you feel the need to go all out and spend thousands on an engagement ring to please the girl? Ladies, does the ring or amount spend actually increase how much love you feel for your man? do you care about size of the ring? I don't think size is an issue, as long as it fits your finger, right? But my gf don't think so. The other day, I bought this ring for her.
Who knows, she said it not big enough. And she even implied the size is sort of matters.. If I don't get a good ring- then what does that say for the rest of the relationship or marriage... It predicts bad things! I'm so confused now. So, what's your opinion?

  • Your girlfriend sounds like a materialistic bi.tch!  Are you sure you want to marry her?

  • Does finefrenzy ever edit the spam posts, or is it always Cali?  If the latter, it seems like the 2nd moderator should be someone who actually bothers to check the board.

  • I have no idea if finefrenzy has ever moderated a post.  I'm guessing not.  I think we've had some of the really thorough mods from other boards edit a few posts in the past (because their board got spammed and then they edited any other post the spammer left behind), but yeah....she really needs to be removed as mod.

  • For some ladies it matters to them how big a ring is because ladies love to flaunt it and for other people to be in shock at how big the ring is. But other ladies on the other hand could care less, because in the end your still going to love your husband and it isnt going to matter how much or how big the engagement ring is because you will be together...isnt that what love is about anyways? Being together is the most important thing, not how much my fiance spent on a ring.

    I agree, love is the most important thing, but doesn't how big and expensive the diamond is tell you just how much he loves you? How else would you know? I'd beg to differ that the price is extremely important.

    If she ever gets removed, I'll apply to be your under-mod.  No spam will be safe.

  • I would pay cash monies to see your edited posts as a mod.  I might even encourage spambots to come visit.

  • You know some women think bigger is better or the more expensive the better. Engagement rings and even weddings have turned into some competition for SOME WOMEN (not all). I personally think that a ring should suit the person....

    and the pocket.

    She should be happy that you've proposed and that you want to marry her and spend the rest of your life with her. 

     At the end of the day the ring is there to symbolize your commitment to her and show all other men out there that she's taken.
