    ok, yeah, bergan… you really need to click the “read more” link.

    my favorite part about the whole diamond thing… is that if you try to carry on a conversation about any of these negatives with a girl – you’ll find out just how brainwashed she is by how she discounts everything you have to say based on diamonds being a “tradition” and everything revolving around “feelings”.

    boolshaka. diamonds are about bragging rights among women.

    posit to her that you won’t present a diamond ring to her when you propose marriage, and she’ll ask why? isn’t she worth it to you?

    easy response – why isn’t she going down on one knee and offering me a diamond? aren’t i worth it to her?
