'Man-gagement' Rings Let Ladies Put A Ring On It (VIDEO, POLL)

This just in from the Beyonce Bible of Wisdom: If you like it, then you should put a ring on it. And many formerly-single, almost-married ladies are taking her sentiments to heart with "man-gagement" rings--the equivalent of an engagement ring, but for the future groom. ABC's Nightline followed one couple as they tried to settle on a hunk of metal. Jarrett Gabel, the husband-to-be joked, "It's not fair that she gets diamonds. I should get at least one."

However, man-gagement rings are really an emerging trend in terms of boy bling. "All the girls want everyone to know that their guy is taken, and there's no better way than to see a ring on his finger," the jeweler in the video explains. And Jennifer Hudson recently spent $15,000 on a ring for her boyfriend. The bands are made from macho-man materials like steel, rubber and cobalt, which will be the perfect accessory to match the diaper bag you'll be carrying in a few years.

I am ready for someone to produce and sell an 0ral c0ntraceptive for men. Once that's in place, then I'll think about putting a ring on it.

The entire concept of engagement and wedding rings is rather dumb.


"Here my sweetheart, I love you so much, so please wear this metal thing around your finger, because metal = love, right?"

It used to be believed that the ring finger on the left had a connection to the heart.

Hmmmm, its good for the economy i guess, and for a woman to pop the question if she is tired of waiting. Man-gagement, i guess this is a selling point because there have been mens rings with diamonds for a white, my wedding band has 5 stones totaling a half karat.

Just another idea from the DeBeers to extend their market to the other half of the world population.
Suckers apply within.

my thoughts precisely!

It's probably a great investment if it comes with a prenup.

[HacunaMatata101]

Just out of curiosity--do people with flexible ideas of commitment prefer rubber rings?
