Title: Apparently "forever" has been over-rated
Post by: Cookie on August 02, 2006, 05:52:43 PM: NEW YORK (Reuters) - Diamonds are no longer a girl's best friend, according to a new U.S. study that found three of four women would prefer a new plasma TV to a diamond necklace. (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060802/od_nm/life_technology1_dc;_ylt=AtbNae.Y4zW.yMdTFs_I4H3tiBIF;_ylu=X3oDMTA2Z2szazkxBHNlYwN0bQ--)

Who needs diamonds?! I prefer a plasma tv, too.XD

If I propose to a girl and she wants a plasma screen TV instead, I'm going to wonder about her.

But damn, I'd rather have a weekend vacation in Florida than laze around the house... What were those people thinking?! You can tell how lazy the world is becoming by that article, too :lol:

Cynic!! XD

But really. The institution of marriage now is very much different from what it was years ago. I just look at the number of divorces that I do each week, the number of enquiries on divorce proceedings which I have to answer and cringe. >_<

I'm too much of a romantic at heart to do family law...

Post by: aimaime on August 04, 2006, 06:48:42 PM: i don't think the survey can be trusted anyway. don't women always say they want one thing but actually want something else. they may say they want a plasma tv, but i bet in a romantic setting and the guy pops out a diamond ring/necklace her eyes will be sparkling like :baa60776:

Post by: ctz on August 04, 2006, 10:45:40 PM: How abouta woman who'd approve to sell her diamonds when they're gotten more valuable to buy a plasma tv/car/computer/whatever when there's a need for it? That'd be great.

Post by: Asmodai on August 05, 2006, 02:59:28 AM: Yeah. It's kind of a split. I don't want a girl who's really materialistic and into wanting a lot of jewelery. I do want a chance to be old fashioned and romantic though.

Sigh.
