Anyone like Diamonds?

[Maelstrom]

MQmoxie, it took you that long to figure out? And MQmoxie and ThE_RaVeN, it's supposed to be a joke (it's a bit of an exaggeration, but you also know there's a hint of truth to it).

Anyway...

This is going to be a little out of order, but it'll help explain where I'm trying to go with this.

We want to know that you went and instead of buying toys for yourself and such you saved until you could spend it on us.

See, the first half isn't the problem. My stinginess towards myself (spending wise) comes naturally (and as a college student, it's a good thing I operate this way). Of course, it's that same mentality that makes it hard to part with so much money on something I don't see as being appreciated (or more accurately, it's more like taken for granted); of course, maybe love will tell me otherwise when I'm at that stage, but I just don't see it being a natural gesture. It would seem more right if there was a wider range of ways I could send the message of "I love you" and then choosing the one that's most appropriate for our given situation (not to say expense won't be involved, but there ought to be some flexibility for the point(s) of emphasis).

and no I dont want to hear about how a woman should know a guy loves her because though we do we also want little things to show it.

I'm groovy with (numerous) little things, and however many medium-sized things. It's the big things that bother me when they feel empty.

We want from you we want your attention we want your time we want little things that remind us every second that you care.

For the right person, that won't be a problem.

Each of you GUYS are forgetting that woman are want creatures. ...

Are they supposed to be want creatures more than guys? Are women supposed to be fundamentally different from men not just in anatomy, but also in behavior, feelings, emotions, desires, goals, responsibilities, and values? (I'm not going to blame anyone from feeling they should adhere to the existing gender roles, because the message/reinforcement is overbearing.) I know the benefits and investments cut both ways (and I *know* we men have more to lose), but I want to believe I can close the separation between us, even if it is just a little bit.

That said, we all have different perspectives of the world, and I think we're just going to have to agree to disagree for now. There's not a whole lot more I can say without feeling like I'm repeating myself for the fifth or seventeenth time, and without having offense taken.

Woman and mens wants very greatly for the most part.

the example at hand obviously being

woman = jewlery (but not usualy for the reasons guys would think of)

guys I dont see you as much wanting jewlery.

I'm not saying guys dont want attenion but 'most' females need more then a guy would ever think of needing.

Ah Im to tired ot try to explain further so I shant

I take offense! (yeah right )
I like heated commentary. I once got my wife and her best friend so riled up about an issue we talked about it for 6 hours!

At any rate Mael I think you underestimate the importance of what the ring represents. My wife lost her engagement stone for about 2 hours one day. I can think of only one other occasion when I have seen her as distraught as that day. I told her we could buy another stone, to which she replied 'but it won't be the stone you gave me.' Happily I was able to find the stone in our hotel room. You're right, diamonds prolly shouldn't get the emphasis that they do, but that's the way it is. I hope when you finally find your significant other that person is someone who doesn't want a diamond. That said, I hope you have the presence of mind to get them one if they do. You'll be happier for it.

Yeap you understand your wife well. Woman really want jewlery from a guy because it is something from the one they love that they can carry with them and hold dear that it is from them. Such simple things that maen so much because well we're chics lol.

Maybe it's just me...


But I'd take chocolate over diamonds any day! I mean, seriously, there's no sugar or tastiness to be had in a hunk of shiny rock... Why would anyone want it?


...


*I guess my opinion doesn't really count on that matter, though... //@.@\\'... I don't know why I'm always the contradiction.*

[ThE_RaVeN]

Well if anything, diamonds burn for hours and hours on end, because theyre made of pure carbon, but enough about chemistry.

Meal, youre fighting a losing battle here, I like jewelry, I have 3 rings and am saving for a neck thingie, and I love them, I can only imagine girls loving those even more.

[MK]

Sorry Celey but I must go against you on the chocolate thing. I dont want a generic box of choclate handed to me with a "here I love you." with the unspoken. 'now eat chocolate and get fat' -.-

[edcool1]

one box of chocolate isn't going to affect a persons weight that much.

It's if you eat like, a box a day. that's when you gotta worry.

[MQmoxie]

I looooove chocolate. Though not your standard american candy bar fare. There's too much wax in it.

[MK]

Not the point Ed.

[edcool1]

Well you've scared me for life now, MK. I can never give anyone a box of chocolates now. Thanks a lot.

[MQmoxie]

You're killin' me ed. If ya need a low cal present, try flowers.

[edcool1]

Flowers are more useless than diamonds! At least you can eat chocolate.

I'd rather plant flowers in their garden than give them a bouquet or whatever. My uncle owns a nursery so I know how worthless flowers can be.

Baubles, bangles, hear how they jing, jinga-linga
Baubles, bangles, bright shiny beads
Sparkles, spangles, your heart will sing, singa-linga
Wearin' baubles, bangles and beads

You'll glitter and gleam so
Make somebody dream so that

Some day he may buy you a ring, ringa-linga
I've heard that's where it leads
Wearin' baubles, bangles, and beads

Baubles, bangles, hear how they jing, jinga-linga
Baubles, bangles, all those bright, shiny beads
Sparkles, spangles, your heart will sing, singa-linga
Wearin' baubles, bangles, and beads

You'll, you'll glitter and gleam so
You're gonna make somebody dream so that

Some day he may, he may buy you a ring, ringa-linga
I've heard that that's where it leads
If you're wearin' baubles bangles and them cool, cool beads

You cant beat Frank Sinatra.

Nothing says 'I love you' like a box of chocolates, really... Especially if they're chocolate-covered strawberries...


And anyway... Ya readin' too much into that... //^_^\\'... Ya don't get fat from eating chocolate...


... *People get from from eating the wrong stuff at wrong proportions and not exercising...*


.... I mean, I eat chocolate everyday... And I only weigh 113 pounds...
