Proposals, engagements, and marriage seem to be some of the sore spots for women in society. More often than not, women are constantly trying to “compete” with other women/couples to have a better proposal, a bigger ring, and an all-out ball of a wedding. In retrospect, the need to constantly impress others sometimes forces us to miss the bigger picture of proposals and engagements—love.
Many women feel that no matter how, or when, or what goes into their proposal and engagement, they are happy no matter what because they are spending the rest of their lives with the one they truly love. That’s why, when a woman on Twitter began mocking “small” engagement rings, women across the web totally snapped.
The Twitter user, who has since deleted the photo and post, wrote: “imagine finally being proposed to and this is the ring you’re given.” The ring is a small, tasteful diamond.
Many women online responded that the girl is “shallow” and “rude.” Additionally, they pointed out that she totally does not understand what it means to really be in love and want to spend her life with someone, no matter what.

If the size of the ring is more important to you than the man who is giving it to you, do him a favour and say no. He deserves better.

I got no ring when my husband proposed. We had no money. We worked TOGETHER and he was able to get me my dream ring 2 years after wedding.😊

Not trying to be rude but why are you caring about how big the diamond is? If you love him you really wouldn't care about how much he +

Imagine being so unappreciative that you wouldn't even deserve to be proposed to with that attitude 🙄

Damn right—who would want to marry a woman who is that materialistic and shallow? Boys, do better for yourselves.
