No I'm not getting married. Hell, I'm not even seeing anyone currently. However as of yet, I've just been having a lot of confidence as of late. I think this shows. And the marriage monkey has been on my back for a few years as well. I think an attempt at a marriage is in my future in the next couple of years. I know I'm going to get scooped up by some attractive young lady soon.
I just wanted to know, how much would a woman expect a man to spend on a ring? I know some guys who has spent $10,000. Is this an expectation from women? I thought about spending 2 or 3 thousand for a wedding ring. I don't think I could afford $10,000 and up. Is anything under $10,000 considered cheap to most women?
This really depends on the woman you're marrying. If you're marrying a high powered female executive, a socialite, the daughter of a wealthy businessman, etc. -- yes, you should spend $10,000 or more. Most middle class working women should be more than satisfied with a $2,500 ring though.
As long as you went through at LEAST 10 Cracker Jack boxes your sure to find one that'll do.
In all seriousness it shouldn't be about the amount the ring costs but the meaning behind it. If she can't get her head around the "cheapness" of the ring then she really isn't for you.

Very funny
Your 100% correct it should not be how much you spend but what it symbolises. If someone's saying they love you enough to spend their life with you that's a pretty amazing thing.
We just had a thread on how much the engagement ring should cost. Normally the engagement ring comes first and then the wedding ring. The wedding ring normally does not cost as much and many times is matching to the mans ring, but not always.
Have you already given the engagement ring?
I couldn't say how much, I have no idea. But you probably don't want the woman who needs that hugely expensive ring. It pay not be about the love she has for you but the status she holds with a costly piece of jewelry on her finger. Of course if you want to buy her something expensive, thats fine, thats your deal.
Really, there is no formula. Some people attmept to put out a formula, but it is highly individual on what you can afford, are comfortable in affording, and what your woman may reasonably expect.
My friend paid $15,000 for a ring. He makes $50,000 a year. He will be paying for it for 5 years. I think he will have the bill longer than he has the bi***.
