I'd like to make a statement on behalf of MEN and WOMEN who has standards and will keep it that way
Actually i take pity on those who'd take the 299 ring for an engagement ring
And i give disappointments to those who will give a 299 ring as an engagement ring
Let me breakdown it's value by the decade
50 pesos below year 2000s
100 pesos below year 2010
150 pesos below year 2020
Inflated value post pandemic - 299
It's 2024 wake up!
Remember, men spend 80 pesos on a haircut alone, even generously tip barbers they liked,
Men could smoke 1 pack of cigarette a day and it's 200
Men could spend 500 on three bottles of redhorse/pilsen and a bit of snack
Men could buy their necessities and hobbies which most women can't imagine it's worth,
I'll give everyone an example
Men play mobile/computer games, i won't disclose the amount they averagely spend on each account they may have, but it's in 2-5 digits depending on which income
RANGING FROM 100S to tens of thousands of pesos, imagine that?
What I'm pointing at is, standards can be high
Also, if men are set to marry you, they'd find financial stability first
Second, they'd make sure they can provide for You and possible future family
Why would i take pity on women who'd take the 299 ring? Because their standards were either too low, or forced to be too low by those they dated,
gaslighting is REAL, if you can't get your lover the engagement ring they deserve, don't propose
If your lover can't get you a ring that you deserve, don't accept
WAKE UP, We're talking about an engagement ring, it doesn't have to be grand, just not a 299 ring
You're not only lowering the standards of women, but lowering the standards of men, who'd think it's okay to do the same
For those older generations would you be alright if your daughters engagement ring is worth less than three bottles of beer? 1 pack and a half of cigarette?
Even less than a disposable v**e?
The 299 ring could serve as a
courtship ring
Couple ring
Promise ring
but never an engagement ring PERIOD
For those saying not everyone can afford a decent proposal ring because they have a family to support, that's your problem, you DATE to MARRY,
And to MARRY, you must be FINANCIALLY stable, I'm not telling you to be unfilial and forget your family, but find ways to be FINANCIALLY stable, don't stay one dimensional
There's lot's of businesses available for us to start,
Lot's of income we can get,
Jobs don't hold much value anymore, but it's a stable source of income and that's where most problems lie, most people settle for just jobs alone and don't dabble into business and expect everyone's standards to be LOWERED
I don't know who needs to read this, but YOU, WANTING an ENGAGEMENT RING that YOU DESERVED, you're VALID, your feelings are VALID
to those who read up to this part, thank you
