It's the worst decision you will ever make.

I got better idea!
Save your money and tell the greedy bitch to fuck off!!

Is this supposed to be a joke considering how few choices we have? Would this be funny if it were aimed at the "gentler gender"?

The joke, I found was how accurate it was... It was meant to be funny for a different reason.

And they are aloof to the fact that we have so few choices.

That's pretty cool, Marx.

On the more serious side of things, these bits of bling cost an arm and a leg and are paid for by men.

I've heard a LOT of stories in the past about after a relationship has fallen through before marriage, the woman has flatly refused to give the ring back, even though they never bought it in the first place.
This is tantamount to theft.

I seem to remember watching, years back (not by choice) a TV show with that nasty, man-hating loud-mouth Judge Judy, telling a guy that there was NO WAY he would be getting the US$4000 ring back that HE bought and then slapped another $500 in "compensation" to be paid to his greedy ex.

That woman had a real thing against men.

This is one thing I like about my ex. Although she put me through allot of crap and I could tell many stories about nasty things she pulled during our relationship (the longest I've had) I bought her allot of jewellery and when we broke up she offered to give it all back to me. I did not want it back, personally, because I had no use for any of it - nobody to give it too, and wouldn't have sold it because it's kinda depressing considering how little you recoup but I know from talking to other people that she gave it all away because she did not see any point in keeping it. It's just one of those memories I like to conjure up sometimes to keep me positive when I'm in a bad mood and thinking all women are horrible; I mean by no means am I saying it makes her a good person, because it doesn't, but it shows - in my eyes at least - that you can't always tell, and people can sometimes surprise you.

I guarantee if any of you guys met her, you would not assume she would be the kind of person to do something like that, yet she did. That's why I find it good to remember.

On the flipside I've had relationships with other women who, on the surface, might have seemed far less materialistic and yet when it came to the crunch they showed their true colours and it certainly wasn't a good surprise. There was one woman I was with for only a few months; she played guitar and at one time I brought one of my guitars to her house, and it was still there when we broke up, her guitar being at my house. Although they were comparable in value her guitar was of little use to me because it was an electric model, a strat, and I already have one, whereas mine was a semi-acoustic which had little value for her given the kind of music she played. Nevertheless, she knew I had a sentimental attachment to my instrument so she refused to give it back. Such malice coming out of nowhere seemed to be befuddling, although in the end I did get it back because her brother is a friend of mine and he realized she was being foolish so he exchanged the instruments for me. She and I are actually friends now, and she admits that the instrument had no real use for her, and knew hers had no use for me, claiming that at the time she just wanted to keep it so that I would still be attached to her in a manner of speaking. It was a keepsake in other words and she felt it was ok to have it because her instrument was actually worth more money second-hand (which is true enough) so that in material terms I was actually benefiting.

It's a strange business. I don't know if I've said this previously, actually no I seem to recall I have, but I'm somewhat adversarial when it comes to gifts, money, etc. Though I can be very generous (not trying to brag) I tend to withhold utterly whenever I can sniff any sense of obligation. This is to say if a woman expects me to buy her something then I absolutely will not, but if she expects nothing I will surprise her pleasantly. I would not buy an engagement ring; I don't see the point. If that means I'm never going to get married, so be it, marriage is a trap for fools anyway and unless the law changes a great deal I really don't care for it. It's sad because I would like to have children, I mean adopt or foster a child, and I couldn't personally bring children a situation without being married to someone so they could be raised in a normal family, but such is life.

I think it's sad when guys give up on marriage and having children altogether because of feminism and misandristic laws. That is the ultimate acquiescence to feminism. What is the point of being MRA's and fighting the fight if in the end we say, "Well I'm not going to marry and have kids. It's too difficult." If those are things that you don't want in the first place, fine. But if they are, don't give up on them just because of feminism.

No matter how long it takes or how difficult it is, I am going to marry and have children, albeit most likely not in America. Fighting this fight and then lying down and dying by forgoing the basic things in life that you want is an exercise in futility. If we are not going to reap the rewards of our efforts, we might as well not make the effort and simply take up a recreation hobby.
