Would like some opinions from males

"Hey Guys, brought the beer, has the game started yet?"
"Nah, 20 mins, stick the beer in the fridge, theres room"
"Krsssk, Krssk, Krssk.....ah liquid gold, was hanging for a brewsky"
"...Dude, whats that on your finger?"
"Oh, thats a promise ring"
"A what what"
"A promise ring, we each gave each other ones as a symbol to show everyone our commitment to each other"
"Hrrrr Hrrrrr, what?, ok dude, tampons are in the top drawer of the bathroom cabinet if you need them"

 

worse than silly ...lame...your bf should grab the reigns in this relationship and veto the promise rings.....this isnt 1952

 

No, its not 1952. That was before the Pill.
Unlike the lads of '52, this guy has a real chance of getting laid, IF HE DOESN'T PISS OFF THE LADY.

Don't be messing with his chances.

 

its lame...donate the money to an orphanage in africa or a hospice that lost its funding......unless they go hippy and use cheap costume jewelry ones..that would be cool

 

lmao yeah, after this, he's getting real real lucky

And ROLLINGALONG, you're entitled to your opinion because I asked of course, but you seem a little judgmental. Grab the reigns? This whole thing wouldn't have happened if he didn't genuinely want to. I didn't "whip" him or anything.

Lol. I suppose that could be something to worry about, that is if he actually cared what people thought about him. He doesn't need to prove to me that he's a man...that's all that matters since I'm the one he is fucking and will probably be with for a long time if not the rest of our lives. Plus, he's a burly type of guy, his friends won't mistake him for a pussy. Ever. lol He's stronger than all of them.

 

Come now, everyone cares about that

Oh, yes, yes he does. *Giggles. Not so much now, give it another ten years, and add to that the times you are in your 2nd/third trimester, holy crap. Do you worry he's up for it? I'm sure he is, most of them are....which is why you are all so cranky in your 30s and 40s

I thought it was supposed to be about love and sharing and soulmates and all that crap

Now, you'd think that would correlate wouldnt you. The more manlier, musclier and stronger they are the less of a bitch they turn into. Funnily enough the reason it doesnt has to do with testosterone itself.


Dont worry, not that any of that means anything, the way you talk makes it sound like you two are a good match

 

What exactly is he promising?

 

Well then, thanks!

That he's always going to be there for me, and vice versa, and that in a few years when we're in a stable situation together, we'll get married.

 

Update.

 

The pragmatist in me says put the $ that went into buying the rings--which in of itself i think is a sweet gesture-- into the future you want to build with that person.

Ex:

1. Emergency $ fund

2. Retirement

3. The $ stockpiled for the down payment of a house + bills

4. The cost of raising children (if that's in the future for sure)

5. The marriage ceremony + the honeymoon costs
---

If you've got those bases covered, THEN spend $ on promise rings and stuff.

But that's just my 2 cents.

 

My wife bought me a tungsten wedding band and I can tell you those things are great. Mine's been put through the ringer quite a few times and it's still in great shape. Even dropped a tranny on it and still didn't get a scratch.

 

Celtic braids are pretty cool. No stones. solid bands are wedding rings not promise rings. Intertwined and laced knots are cool, but it depends on what he likes. Titanium is (for me) so much more binding and strong than silver or gold. I don't like gold anything so I am biased. Braided design rings are not to expensive either even in Titanium. Internet is a great source for shopping as well

 

I'd say tungsten it cheap beautiful and will not break
