I thought that this would be a hot topic. Maybe it has already been discussed, but is there ever going to be a time when women pay the same as men for rings? I always hear all this talk on equality, but guys are still going out there spending lots of money on e-rings and it seems like most women in my area (the midwest) are buying fairly cheap wedding rings for their men. Is it because most guys don''t want rings with diamonds? I would not mind it. I just think back in the day when men made all of the money of course women should expect a heck of a ring, as well as they should now, but why not get the guy an expensive ring? Heck my gf makes twice what I make, but I am probably going to be spending at least 3x what she will on me for my ring, and I still have a wedding ring to buy!! Thought it would be fun to see what people think about this. Seems like we all talk about eqaulity, but in certain areas things remain the same (like guys shelling out huge amount on rings).
