Is the wages thing net?
Vegas next weekend. No idea what to expect. Can’t wait
Nah its gross. No point in being stingy on things like this.
Is that Basketball?
I can’t go to that because I used to get in rows with fellas in schoo thatl played basketball and call them fags. I’d look rather silly if I ended up paying in to watch a basketball match and they found out about it.
Risky to buy it for her, gotta be confident of what she likes when going that way, especially as ita something that will be welded to their hand for the rest of their life.
Is this a Celtic Tiger thing, and is it women who came up with the standard?
:unsure:
Too right, i’m not tight, but its only a gesture and commitment, not prenup deposit.
I’d say you are definitely whipped anyway. No wonder you know so little about the GAA anymore, you’re not allowed watch it! 
No need to be so insecure about it Kev. It’s something she’ll wear for the rest of her life to remind her of you. You’d hardly want her looking down at something that looks like you got out of a halloween brack would you?
Similar to what I posted above re the ring, its a lifetime thing and women talk and compare. If shes a decent sort (and why would you marry her if she wasnt) she wont expect the world, just something classy and timeless. Still wouldnt advise buying it beforehand though.
Tis yea, but while I see your point about pasty white Irish boys trying to play it, its some spectacle, especially in MSG. Just a thought anyways.
You’ll be dragged into Tiffany’s and ordered to cough up your life savings lad. You’d be better off bending the knee in a place like Turkey where the gold is cheaper.
The whole point is this conversation is completely based on insecurity, by the women.
Its more the parameters that seem to be there for men, and the pressure on the man to meet them. I hate that shit about 2 months wages etc. Thats a joke. Let the man decide without the pressure. I have no issue with a fella if he’s going to spend a years wages on it as thats his choice, but this other bull shit really grates me.
I just feel if women have these kind of expectations you are setting yourself up for a future of it. When i hear anyone saying “How much was the ring?” or “He spent this on the ring” alarm bells start ringing straight away.
Ah yes, the ground floor of Tiffanys, many a good man has fallen there :unsure:
You’d want to do some homework on women. To them, it’s all about how much it costs. As I was told once, it’s a once off item you’re buying. Not like a car or a house. I’m not saying it should ever cost as much as those but in a woman’s view it should break you for a year or so!
If you have a woman who genuinely believes that then you need to get a proper women.
My girlfriend would go nuts if I spent that much on a ring, she has said it in the past during one of her subtle hint dropping sessions.
I’ve done enough to stay away from women like that. They are not all like that, and once you treat them well all the rest of the time the vast majority of decent women are happy with that.
Runt has found a practical lady, fair play.
And has also given the biggest hint yet that this is really on the cards.
Exactly. I havent met a woman or women who compare prices of rings, perhaps I just havent met any cunts. Any woman who is obsessed about costs of rings isnt one to be proposing to anyway.
Sounds more and more like you’ll be hitting Tiffanys in NY though Runt :D. Best of luck with it, hope it goes well for you.
Fair play though, I respect a man who plans his holidays well before Cship instead of these cunts who up sticks for a week in the middle of summer.
I know they’re not all like that, but they won’t settle for any cheap rock either. I would have always though 2-3K was the limit anyway and she could like it or lump it after that.
Oh they are out there alright. I’ve heard some awful shit from women friends and sisters. Including one bird who didn’t like the ring the boyfriend had got her, went back in with him to pick a different one, and the one she picked was another €800 quid dearer than the original.

I won’t be

We’ve gone to a good few places around Europe, but I think she is getting sick of going in April and November when places are freezing :lol:
There is fucking thousands of women like that. But MBB, you’d have to meet any women at all first before you can disferensiate between the cunts and the sound ones.
Was it yer man Clareman that used to post here that had 20k saved away for the ring? That’s what you should be aiming for Runt.
