Would you wear a 'promise' ring?

Boisdevie, surfhb2, Vincenzo and Perhaps are guys, and they all told you they don't think a "promise ring" is a good idea.

I made my original comment before any dude answered.

& Obviously I'm not just referring to this one thread. Im not saying girls should stay completely silent. We may want further discussion on something someone replies. But lots of times there's a post here and you see chix dominate the replies and you gotta scroll to get a male perspective. particularly, when we wanna jump to tell someone they're a slut or stupid or move on & the guys have something else to say. Even if the guys end up agreeing with whatever female reply, I'm just saying, let the males answer.

But as I've been told, I guess only "newbies" think that way.
Just my opinion.

Yeah, none of the regulars really care about that "rule". Even because, as you say, most of the females who usually reply have a very good idea of what goes on in a man's mind, so it basically makes no difference whether the person replying with the same exact thing is male or female.

You don't need to be a man in order to understand men (or a woman to understand a woman), you just need to be a good people reader.

I just find it a little annoying when someone posts something that I would really like to see what the guys have to say about it & a bunch of girls answer.

Then you are too easily annoyed. It really isn't that hard to skip over what advice you don't care to read (including advice that doesn't tell you what you want to hear). As I said, most of the regulars don't notice which threads are in which forums, they just reply to whatever pops up.

You didn't need a male to tell you promise rings aren't a fantastic idea. Mothers of sons would know the answer (and I have a son), but for the record, the males who responded seem to agree with me.

Again, not really. Maybe annoyed was the wrong word. And i didnt say i dont think promise rings are not A fantastic idea, i dont think they are juvenile, they can be cute but like I said, the commitment is more important.
I guess a valid opinion is a valid opinion, & if a guy disagrees he'll just say so.

OK, as a guy, I think it's a nice old fashioned gesture.

Only one problem with a promise ring - it's quite easy to take off!

How many 'no's' do you need before you'll believe its an outdated, old-fashioned idea that says more about your insecurity than anything? Even this^ last post was ambiguous, at best. Save the money for long-distance phone calls or a plane ticket to visit.

Has he proposed? Have you? If not, then what are you promising, or wanting him to promise?

Do you trust him while he's gone? If so, then why do you care whether or not he wears your ring?

I wouldn't wear one. I wear my wedding band, I forget it's there most of the time, and it feels weird when it's not, but it's not exactly the same thing, is it?
