    Good point, Laurel

    I often think some women equate an engagement ring with the value of a marriage, when it's nothing more than jewelry!

    Good point. I've never gotten the whole "It has to be X week's/month's salary or else!" thang some women do. What a load of hor$se$hit. That attitude repulses me (in a man or a woman).

    Sometimes women are their own worst [sexist] enemies.
