I was thinking of asking my girlfriend to marry me.

Now, as I've been over. I'm poor.

Not starving, living in a box poor. But poor like... I can't afford a big wedding and a ring type poor...

And she wants a big wedding, and I want to give her that. (Even though my side's going to be pretty empty as I hate my family..)

Anyway, so I was thinking I'd get her a cubic zirconia ring.

I looked it up. And apparently you can't tell the difference unless you put it directly into light, try to melt it down, etc. It only has a point less hardness then diamond. Basically for all intents and purposes it's just as good as diamond. And yet it cost like 1/10th in price.

But ofcourse, I want to spoil her. I just don't have the money. So what should I do?


Should I...

A: Lie about it being cubic zirconia, and say it's diamond. If she discovers the truth, say "the seller tricked me!" and look like a well meaning and lovable dope. *Insert the "awwww" here*

B: Tell her flatout that I'm poor cause I didn't go to school and poo, but that I'm going to try to give her everything a blue collar worker can.. And tell her I got her the most expensive cubic zirconia ring I could find.

C: Screw the diamonds. And get her a specialized golden ring that looks like the one ring from Lord of The Rings with the elven ittalics.


Unlike most people, I have three consciences...

And I ussually go with C.

I'd say buy her the cubic zirconia and tell her when you have the money you'll replace it with the real thing

don't lie- you can tell cubic zirconias from the real thing- definitely

I worked in a jewellry store- you can definitely tell

Listen to Gaybriel. Of course I'd say that we're all being taken for suckers for paying a fortune for a tiny piece of rock that sparkles and has no other earthly use, so go ahead and buy anything that looks identical.

It's the biggest con on earth. People are so gullible to buy these tiny pieces of rock. The diamond industry is built on a con.  

Why would you waste your money and insult the one you love by buying something like that that has absolutely no earthly use, and nobody notices it anyway.

It's the herd instinct. Give them diluted sewage and tell them that it's an expensive French perfume. Madame, I know you want ze parfum of the year - eet eez called Merde. If the word gets around they'll all want it.

- Then what's with the coriander leaves on all the food? I keep on complaining at every restaurant I go to but they still keep piling it on. It's disgusting. I'd sooner have lettuce sprayed with fly spray.

Listen, I'll tell you a secret - coriander leaves taste foul. They are not meant to be eaten. Coriander leaves are probably toxic. Even the Greeks called it something like "smells like bed bugs'.

So many suckers.

She lived in oz prior dork lol!

I met her at 4chan. Incase you don't know what that is. It's a cespool of internet wang. If you think I'm morally depraved. You havn't seen anything yet..

She was just asking the forum how she looked, and they dissed and cut her down, and normally I'd just write it off as a whore getting what they deserve. But the Grinches heart grew three times it's normal size that day. (Well, something grew three times it's normal size) And I defended her, trolled the trolls. It's called "white-knighting".

So then this white-knight asked for her myspace, we began talking, and it's all very romantic and poo.



And nobody thought the one ring was a good idea? lol!

That sounds like a personal problem to me. I never said you were a whore. So if you take offense, then that's your subconsicence saying "hey! He's talking about you!"

Go read a self-help book or something. But I call them as I see them. Most people aren't worth the effort of even looking at, let alone respecting.

Respect has to be earned and meaningful. Are you telling me you like people lying? How do you know your friends don't talk poo about you behind your back and just act nice to your face because of dogma like that?

Atleast with me, you know how I feel about you. I don't have to lie to make myself feel better or appear more righteouss. If you don't like the way I think of you, ignore me, yell at me, or change.

But to imply you want everyone to be deceptive, that's just wrong. It's not going to change how people think, and if anything only makes the situation worse. You should be appreciating my honesty, not condemning it. You will very rarely in your life get as straight an answer.

word mantra

Get her one of those plastic rings from the kid's vending machines for 20c. If she freaks because you didn't spend enough money then bail now, because she's too high maintenance. No point getting her hopes up.

You're a seppo freak show... You'll think of something infantile and psychotic sooner more than later.
