Do Girls want a huge engagement ring...

[texanborn]

I dont have a insane budget but the ring I purchased for my potential wife the other day she said was to small so that sucked and now I don't know what to do. So, what's your felling about this?

Okay I have to ask, how much of a barbie doll attitude does she have? These days it seems alot of women are "in competition" on who has the biggest ring, fanciest wedding, most expensive topical honeymoon...I call those who get into the whirlwind materialistic situations 'barbies'.

My (now ex) boyfriend made a comment about getting me a fancy ring if we ever got hitched and I flat out told him it was pointless. I'm usually outdoors, hunting, making art or caring for a hawk- I'll lose it, damage it or trap mice guts in it.
I told him I wanted a simple band from here: http://www.touchwoodrings.com/ and he laughed saying he wouldn't be caught dead with one. It ended shortly afterwards due to other reasons.

Point is if she's the barbie type then she's going to want the $$$$ in life generally and not realize what she has right infront of her. The ring is suppose to be a symbol of a lifetime commitment- not the status symbol to "show off". She should have been bouncing, laughing and crying that you got down on one knee and proposed.

The fact that she had no regards for your feelings- the emotional, financial, and mental for a man to propose I agree with everyone else and tell you to think about if you want that 'whine' daily & every time you lay down money for a new snake..

"you got another snake??... how must did THIS one cost...so you'll pay that much, but not on the ring I wanted?"

Yep I can hear it now *winces*
Best of luck on your decisions buddy!
