Don't spend anything. Just give her a plastic spider ring that some people pass out on Halloween.

Brandon Gray
too cheap, at least 300-500 /serious answer
Landon Reyes
Depends on how much you make really, if it doesnt cost 500$ don't bother.

Tbh if she’s the one she’d probably think it was hilarious. You can always get a different ring later that you can afford. I proposed with a ring my (now) mother in law gave me that her mom had been proposed to with. So i spent nothing and it was a meaningful thing. Not suggesting you ask for an heirloom like that though, obviously. She approached me with it when I asked them for their permission to propose.
Henry Morgan
treat it as an investment so she has one less thing to complain or argue about when you have quarrels

I got engaged in my early twenties. I wasn't of the greatest means and had to put a "fancy" diamond ring on credit.
Understand that the whole diamond thing is a fucking marketing trick made by the entire diamond mine lord conglomerate who horde what they find and artificially create scarcity value.
Give her something simple and dont break yourself. Of course have at least a solitary diamond as, like Christmas, it's a socially observable norm. Get her a fat ass ring once you've made a life with the education, house THEN kids.
Congratulations.
Ryan Garcia
Go get counterfeit diamond rings, there are gems that are shinier and look exactly like diamonds. Or look up gems on mohs hardness scale. Ebay for cheap rings and pick a cool one. Try it out first and you can return it if it's gay
Joshua Bell
If you think she's the sort of girl who's going to throw a tantrum because you didn't max your credit card buying her an engagement ring then rethink your choice of woman.
If she really loves you, anything will do.
Luis Long
I'd say spend what you can afford. You can have the wedding band build off of the engagement ring. My mother has one like that and it's actually really well thought out. Expensive as my pop spent 20k. If you show you care she shouldn't mind.
Camden Parker
DO NOT GET MARRIED, IT IS A TRAP!
Alexander Cook
Check pawn shops instead of jewelry stores. You will get far more bang for your buck there.
Or be like me and ask your mum. She might have an old ring from a dead grandma. My mum pulled one out of her drawer and it was worth way more then I could afford.
Andrew Johnson
The fastest way to ruin your relationship and ensure that your girl turns into a fat annoying slob is to give her an engagement ring.
>Women only stay on their best behavior because they are trying to get commitment out of you. Give it to her and she will feel like she doesn't have to please you anymore.
Cameron Walker
Depends on several things:
1: Do you love her
2: Is she the type of person to really care about a gem that isnt even that precious. (you already lost, save the money for the divorce)
3: How much you make.
Kayden Lewis
$100??? Are you out of your fucking mind? You are going to have to cough up a lot more than that. Like at least $1000.
Nicholas Brooks
Way too much! The big deal these days is to carve a ring out of a piece of wood or hardened cheese
Adrian Carter
Depends on your budget and your girl. I'm looking at spending 10-11,000. But I own my own business and am pretty financially stable.
I also have an asian girlfriend which increases your necessity to spend money by a thousand.
Owen Rogers
Don't buy a ring.
If she bitches about it then she's not worth it.
protip and old chap gave me before I married
>gave her money and tell her to buy your monthly groceries because reasons
>tell her she can buy whatever she wants for her with the rest of the surplus money
>see what are her buying habits
>see what she buys for herself
Easton Perez
>>see what are her buying habits
see what her buying habits are*
sorry for bad english
Nathaniel Perez
I'd say go for the cheapest one you can find, but still decent. Say 200-300.
if she really loves u and is not a gold digger, the ring price won't matter. U can save for the wedding ring instead, which imo is more valuable.
Matthew Gonzalez
Clearly only ever been with b/c grade women
John Russell
Buy? Fuck man just steal one somewhere.
Logan Scott
Here's the test.
>Bring your GF to a jewelry store
>Ask opinions on other items
>If she would say yes, she will gravitate towards engagement rings
>Joke a little, ask her what she likes
>Make sure to play in the middle, not too negative, not too anxious
>Walk back over to like men's watches or something
>If she is only looking at expensive ones and is high maintenance, trouble
>If she makes any comment about expensive ones being too flashy, score points
Did that with my GF 7 years ago. She liked a nice ring that wasn't very expensive. She has been my wife for 6 years now.
Dont spend more than $1200. Ever. My wife told me later that she would have been fine with a CZ.
Luis Young
Legit old fag here
Been married 12 years in June.
My wife and I got tattoos of each other's 1st initial from each other's name.
Don't be a faggot and get something that will last forever.
Pic related.
Wife's ass...
Henry Cruz
That is garbage tier women.
My wife actually became MORE motivated after marriage. Opposite of what I usually hear from people.
Joshua Brown
Wtf do you guys have superficial relationships. My god.
You should talk to each other about this shit. How much to spend etc
Jaxon Gray
similar boat at 13 years. Well done.
You still need to be careful. My Mrs wants to upgrade a cooker she never uses for a grand.
Nah.
Brayden Mitchell
Jace Mitchell
jesus christ and i thought my mrs was a lardarse
Levi Rogers
Dude but the biggest CZ you can, even my wife says after 15 years we should have just spent the money on a CZ and banked the rest, no one else can tell.
Gabriel Russell
If you're worried about how much she thinks you've spent on an engagement ring, you're already fucked.
Liam Foster
I'd expect that from the guy who's hung like a flea and has no idea what it's like to go balls deep on a ho.
Josiah Cox
Fuck that shit, dont get an engagement ring, dont do a big wedding. get a nice wedding ring or if you cant afford it a plastic one. get a court house wedding and if she bitches about it leave her ass cause if those materialistic things determine the love between yall then shes a cunt
Andrew Harris
Why not a simple bracelet?
Or a necklace?
Don't let yourself trick in the diamond business like other anons say. Think about the poor niggers under the rule of uber-niggers.
Jackson White
Traditionally, you spend one month's salary on an engagement ring
Tyler Johnson
Traditionally, she spends five months of your salary before marriage.
Noah Powell
That's pretty cheap. So cheap, I can't believe you're serious.
BAIT THREAD!
Wyatt Brooks
spent around ~$200-300 for both rings in a set. The set costed a little over $1k on Zales, Kay, and all the other normie places.
Reverse imaged searched the set and found it for cheap on ICE. Bought a case from a local jewelry store for ~$7 to make it appear that I shopped in person. Idk, women don't like knowing you bought online rather than "going to a store in person to find the perfect ring".
If searches (and she probably has), she'll find her set on Zales and Kay for $1,500 and think I paid even more at a local store. Will never tell her though.
Owen Cox
OMGs!
Okay, I will never disparage my wife again.
You poor bastard!
Carter Richardson
2k if you're both serious and have dated a year minimum.
Carson Perry
Look I know some people's financial situations don't allow, but seriously; $100? 200? 300? You're gonna spend as much as a night out at a nice restaurant as you would spend on an engagement ring?
Seems real cheap anons. Look I get it if you're dirt poor, or your financial situation just doesn't allow. But it's kinda shocking how little you guys would spend on a woman you want to spend the rest of your life with, you fags probably spend more on porn and video games in a week.
My girl doesn't care, wants something cheap, wants a courthouse marriage, etc - since she's stuck to that for 6 years instead she's getting a $10k ring and a real wedding. Make 'em work but reward them when they're legit.
Landon Johnson
My first time getting engaged I dropped 5k on a 1 1/2 karat solitaire, and we went through the divorce about 5 years after that.
Next time, I spent 300 on a good looking fake, and we're going into our 18th year.
Go figure...
Sebastian Bailey
Too much, buy a titanium ring from amazon for 25 bucks
Landon Harris
Not op, but MGTOW GTFO!
Hunter Sullivan
The fact that she's never talked to you about it tells me she's the kind that's not going to be a huge bitch over it. 100 is cheap as hell for an engagement ring. $250-$500 is a reasonable range
Cameron Myers
The average engagement ring cost is over $6,000.
How the hell is 250-500 reasonable? Are you buying something that is made from plastic?
Jason Cox
The average normie does stupid shit.
My engagement ring was $975. You're a dumbass if you follow the diamond meme.
Levi Rogers
3 months salary
Alexander Foster
>le diamonds are a scam meme
you have to go back
Levi Roberts
Same with mine. People need to stop marrying trash from their hometown that will peak at a part time job at Kohls before having kids and never going back to work.
Nathaniel Cooper
Hey op. I went to jcpenny, signed up for their credit card, bought a 1500$ ring for 500$ and paid it off in a month. There’s ways to get good rings for cheap.
Caleb Martin
If she loves you, the ring doesn't matter a bit.
If she asked for carbon crap, you're in trouble later buddy !
My wife and I married with the most basic rings because money wasn't our foundation, but commitment
Jeremiah Baker
>My wife is disgusting therefore your penis is small
Top notch logic good sir. Slam that pig clam, and welcome to the jam.
Charles Wilson
user, why are you got married?
Michael Carter
Sauce tho
Gabriel Campbell
Yo user, just have a ring custom made. Buying premade shit is stupid. Make friends w a jeweler and get him to hook it up w something unique. I got a lab made half carat diamond nuked green to match peridot for a quarter of the cost then had him cast a custom ring w gold I brought him.
Zachary Taylor
I just paid 2500 EUR for mine. don't pay more than you can afford.
Landon Robinson
My wife lost weight before we got married. Still tiny. Get off Yea Forums dawg
