Strange, I always thought of the ring as the babe magnet.
You married guys can back me up here.

In reply to: In reply to: In reply to: Hahaha Jay, actually I never did show that pic to many people until the "men of rc.com" thread turned up. I really don't even know why I posted it there. :lol: Dude, you posted that glam shot because you're either a narcissist or you want chicks. And he already said he doesn't want chicks. -Jay
Hahaha awwwww.... :lol: :lol: :lol:
After thinking for a while, I have no comeback. I know when I'm owned. :lol:

One of my buddies had the genious idea of if a girl's single she should have a red dot or something on her forehead (like done overseas). If she's dating, then it's a different colored dot, engaged then it's another colored dot and so on and so forth until all possible outcomes are done. Now, as to the legality thing, the only women allowed to dress 'hot' are ones that are LEGAL and actually hot...not 250pd women in spandex...I really think we should make this guy supreme leader of the world :roll:

Well, that's kind of what the ring is for. A diamond for 'reserved' and a solid gold band for 'taken'.
Unfortunately, bitter single women are fighting back:

In reply to: Ok, I'll admit that being nice to a woman is one of the things I do because first impressions are the best impressions and if I want to climb with them later I want them to think of me as a nice guy. With this said, yeah, I'm usually the one who talks first, I'm usually the one who offers water or something. It's not that I'm flirting it's that (and this shall be the most sexest thing on this forum I believe :P ) that I like to help women with the whole knight in shining armor deal. Now, if you look at the good old days of knights in shining armor you'll note that not every guy would hit on every girl but almost all women in court were treated by men like they were more timid creatures (which they seem to be unless you say the wrong thing at the wrong time). So, nowadays when we do this, is it classified as flirting? |

I always despised the idea of wedding/engagement rings -- that's like branding slaves or animals. Now, getting a fake brand -- how sick is that???

That's why it's gotta be a diamond. Otherwise you ladies would never stand for it :D
Funny thing. My grandmother called me once (we only talk about every month or two) just to tell me that engagement rings are a foolish custom and a horrible waste of money. My grandfather never bought her a ring; but of course they were only engaged for three weeks. She told me never to buy a ring, and that any woman who insisted on one was materialistic and would most likely make a poor wife. At the moment this is merely a hypothetical dilemma for me, but I must admit that the jury is still out.
I'd like to hear the ladies chime in on this one. I understand that the ring is an important gesture of love and a symbol of commitment, but on the other hand, $5k goes a long way on a down payment for a house. What do you think? Would you allow a husband to spend two months salary on a ring? Or is the engagement ring the last allowable extravagance a man is granted before surrendering his individual free will in favor of joint finances?

1. There are many different ways to spent 5K on an extravagant and memorable gift that will express your feelings. Gear/cool vacation/diving course/flying lessons/exotic cactus/pedigree puppy/japanese sword/painting/whatever. Even a mink coat is less stupid than a ring -- ;). Just don't buy any utensils/food processors/or other house-keeping tools -- this is offensive indeed.
2. Joint finances is a rather uncivilized idea. As well as any other form of surrendering the individual will/life/career in a relationship/marriage.

In reply to: In reply to: All I really wanted was just another partner to climb with though :? I was wondering if anyone else had this sort of problem? I like to cruise the crag with two or three super-hotties. Then, if I meet another lady whom I find interesting, I've already got the "pre-approval" factor working. DO NOT underestimate the "factor". Ladies.back me up this...
It is well known that many women like to hang out with gay men--they are not threatening in any way. :lol:

No, you silly, it has nothing to do with that! We like to hang out with gay men because they think more like women, are generally more articulate, and actually enjoy long soul conversations about relationships, cosmetics, relaxation teqniques, and other important issues.

Anyone ever remember those .25 cent spider rings you used to buy in the .25 cent vending machines to scare your sisters? See, now THAT'S an engagement ring! Plus, why spend .50 cents? You can always just switch it over to the other finger during the ceremony so you get the full benefit for only .25 cents.
Oh, as for the wedding bands being the 'symbol'...Well, a lot of women wear rings regardless if they're married or not, so it's kind of hard to even tell now. Best to go with the dots :wink:

My own two cents (having gotten engaged recently):
Yes, spending lots of money on a ring can be silly, if you cannot afford it. If you can, you only go around once...
IMO, it is more silly to spend an incredible amount of money on a wedding for hundreds of people.
The whole point is not to dig yourself a financial hole from which you can't claw your way out.
A trend that I have noticed (and followed) is to purchase only one ring that serves as both the engagement and wedding ring...

Yeah, come to Montana. Not only do many of the women like them, they drive them. IN Bozeman, either you drive a truck or a Subaru.

I like big trucks! If I had enough money I'd buy one. In the meanwhile, my 95' ford will have to do the trick.
Wedding rings: I'd like a ring, yes. But I wouldn't want my man to spend a load on one, and I wouldn't want him to buy diamonds because of all of the diamond wars. etc. But a ring that is to my style and not very expensive would mean a lot. Of course I understand it is only a symbol, and doesn't equal love and fidelity, but I'd style appreciate it.

I like big trucks! Right now im shopping for a little truck (a big one won't fit in my little garage at my little apartment)...but at least my little truck will still be 4 wheel drive. Of course I guess I don't count as a girly girl anyways. I also climb a lot, ride motorcycles, and try to do as much mechanic stuff on my car as I can. :D

I like big TRUCKS and I cannot lie
You otha sistas can't deny
When Dodge rolls up wit' a hemi in place
And big round tires in your face
You get SPRUNG
Wanna roll up tough
'Cause you know it likes it rough
Down rocky trails it's bearing
I'm hooked and I can't stop stairing
Oh baby, I wanna get in ya
And yank yo' shifta
Greenpeace tried to warn me
But that black smoke makes me so horny
Oh, big-block V8, you ain't no 2-door Benz
Well cruise me, cruise me, 'cause I gotta widdle pee-pee...
