Thank you for bringing that to light Chris. I always knew there was a reason I didn’t buy g/f’s diamonds and jewlry for a reason. I thought it was just instict, but my unconscious self knew the truth, and now my conscious self can accept that i was right not to tdo that all along

*Five Reasons Not to Accept Lame Ass Excuses About Why A Guy Can’t Buy You a Diamond*
1. If he says he wouldn’t be able to sleep at night if he bought you a diamond, ask him how it is that he can sleep at night then with the t.v. blaring.
2. If diamonds are simply hunks of worthless rock with no purpose than to make women look attractive when we wear them, then fake tits are just as worthless.
3. Diamonds have no resale or investment value… sort of like Corvettes. Yet, men still buy corvettes… and ferraris… right, Christopher?
4. Diamond miners might be disproportionately exposed to HIV/AIDS, but so are porn stars. Maybe we should get rid of both industries so those poor people don’t have to take such risks.
5. Diamonds are beautiful and giving a woman jewelry with diamonds in it suggests to her that she is very special. I realize that blogs can imply the same thing… but other women don’t ooh and ahh at her when they see her wearing a blog. 
Crystal the Soldier uttered
My rings are simulated, because for one, I can’t imagine wearing something that cost thousands, and constantly fear losing it. I love diamonds, but am just as happy with high quality fake ones.
aJ the Zen Master spake, and sayeth
And I protest to point 3 by Christopher! (Though it’s to my disadvantage )
There is no slave labor in the diamond industry, no matter what you say [-(
And most commonly, in India, the diamond trading business is most commonly a family business with members of the same family working in the shops. Yes, but sometimes others “artisans” and skilled workers are hired too, but not under bond!
(Yes I know this post is tongue in cheek but I just wanted to say that.)
Christopher the Pyro got all philosophical
Hmm.. if that is the case I stand corrected.. I really can’t debate India with any high level of certainy… altho the reasons that I listed to the best of my knowledge were accurate.. I will say that #3 was the least important as far as I was concerned lol.

I always thought they were overrated anyway! I would much prefer to have something more original less frivilous!! Moonstone is beautiful and far more subtle… zzz then again all I want right now is some coffee!
Christine the Lioness remarked
Moonstone is great if you’re one of those weird hippie girls who parts her hair in the center and wears a purple amethyst on a gold chain around her neck. Personally, I think a little sparkle– not anything over the top– but something that looks slightly more sophisticated looks, well… more sophisticated.
Sweetnsimple the Virgin chimed in with
… stereotypes… but thats my point… wear a diamond become a stereo type… you can dress quite smartly/plainly say little black dress ect other classic… wear a diamond and its cliche… wear a moon stone and your suddenly that little bit different than every other girl at the black formal who are all wearing matching black dresses and diamonds.
Personal choice of course… agree to disagree on this one… but I’m a little dissapointed in the stereotyping shame on you… its hard to be individual now a days without being labeled… like ‘weird hippy girl’ rather be an individual than a corperate branding/advertisment board!
Christopher the Pyro remarked
Sweetsimple.. in addition to being a real pain in the ass, Christine is also quite the follower… in all honestly Sweetsimple.. I find diamonds to be sooo boring.. I always tend to find forms of jewelry much nicer….
Also since fake diamonds ones look exactly like real ones (unless your a expert) I always assume people are wearing fake ones.. which is good because otherwise I would completely look down on the girl who thinks she is special wearing an overpriced worthless piece of rock. If you care to wear something that is actually worth $$$ buy gold.
Christine the Lioness penned this
If you’re wearing a diamond only because you think you’re better than everyone else because you have on something expensive and overpriced, then you’re missing the point. Just like some people like wearing moonstones apparently (better than diamonds), I find diamonds to be simple and elegant and beautiful. And that’s why I like them. Period. And I don’t prefer gold over silver because I know it’s more expensive. If you’re putting on anything just to show off how much money you have, then I’m not that interested in having a conversation with you because I find that to be shallow. Since when did it become wrong to wear what you like– or want something– simply because you like it?
And I also don’t find myself needing to wear some type of jewelry that no one else is wearing just to prove I’m an individual either. So I apologize for the stereotyping, Sweet, but maybe you needn’t try so hard to be an individual with what you wear. And to think that because someone chooses to wear a diamond over something more obscure makes them a corporate branding/advertising board??? Who’s doing the stereotyping now???
Christopher the Pyro added
Or she was simply stating the truth, women wanting diamonds is clearly a marketing ploy there is simply no value in them… other then they look nice. I won’t argue that diamonds like any other piece of jewelry can look nice, but that isn’t why people wear them. I mean how special would women feel if all of a sudden they found out their 3 caret diamond is worth $50.. when an ounce of gold is going for over $700.. let’s not kid ourselves here.. if Rubies or Emeralds or anything else was selling of asnine amounts of money women would want to wear those more then diamnods.. simply put.. if you wore diamonds because they look nice and simple then it wouldn’t matter if they were man-made diamonds.. mine mined diamonds, cubic zibcorian or a crystal.. simply they all look the same.. if it looks like a rose and smells like a rose.. it must be a rose… unless your implying there is something special about a diamond…. (Christine knows the facts behind this but she has somehow managed to continue to delude herself..
Christine the Lioness said this
I think this is a case of Christopher deciding that I shouldn’t have my own opinion about something (which happens often– he’s much more content if I simply agree with him). To assume that all women only like diamonds because they are expensive is insulting. I’ve always been one to just buy and wear whatever I like whether it’s a $12 pair of shoes from Payless or $250 pair of shoes from Saks. I’ve never liked or wore anything because of how much it costs (although I occasionally am proud if I get a really good deal on something). I guess for me, wearing a fake diamond is like wearing a fake Dolce & Gabbana purse. If you can’t afford the real thing, then why wear it? The only types of people who buy fakes are the ones who feel they need that item to be respected by others so they’re willing to wear the fake just for the sake of being seen. I’ve never cared that much either way.
The truth is, I just like diamonds. They are my favorite stone for reasons other than how much they cost. Of the diamond jewerly I have, I tend to wear it more than all the rest of my jewelry– just because I like it more.
In terms of a diamond as an engagement ring… well, I’m sure that the fact our culture says men should buy their fiancees diamond engagement rings has certainly created a marketing niche among diamond retailers that has allowed them to jack up the price beyond their actual value. But that’s not unique. I mean if I were selling diamonds, I would do the same thing– it’s natural to want to make as much money as you can on what you sell and if you can control that with a marketing campaign, you will.
But the truth is… that’s the culture we live in and there are conventions in any culture. Typically, men give women diamonds as engagement rings. And whether or not it’s just lore, I do think that because of that fact, diamonds do have a symbolic value that other stones do not. And my feeling on it is… if it’s that big of a deal to you to not overpay for a diamond that you’re going to give to the woman you want to spend your life with as a symbol to her that you’ve chosen her above all other women… if the fact that the diamond itself is overpriced somehow overshadows all else, then maybe you don’t really care as much about her as you think you do.
If price is really an issue for you, then buy a smaller ring. She won’t care how big the diamond is. But to buy a fake simply because you are looking for the cheaper alternative, seems well… like you’re missing the point.
Christopher the Pyro remarked
I think all the things Christine has said here show’s how really brainwashed she really is. It is fantastic that she likes how they look, that is cool.. my issues with her statement.
1. If a woman really just cared how they look then a man-made diamond is just as cool as a mine minded diamond.. I mean a man-made diamond is actually more perfect.. no flaws perfect coloring.. ect.. if I was ever going to buy a girl any kind of diamond I would certainly try and buy her a man-made ones, for 2 reasons.. 1. They are higher quality, 2. They are more affordable… that is the essence of good value.. since nobody can actually tell what the woman is wearing and she would never know either.. since she couldn’t bring it to a jewler and be told it was man made.. there is no reason to buy her a .25 caret diamond when the same $ buys a 1 caret.. that is just stupidity.
The second flaw in what she is saying is Cubic Zicobian which is mean to be a replica diamond, looks exactly the same.. now if you wearing something because you like the way it looks it really doesn’t matter what it is.. bt if you wearing it because your applying a false value to it that has been created by marketing…. that is sad.. “The diamond engagement ring is a 63-year-old invention of N.W.Ayer advertising agency. The De Beers diamond cartel contracted N.W.Ayer to create a demand for what are, essentially, useless hunks of rock.” then you are be pretentious (not u Christine) but people in general.. because they are now applying value to a piece of rock that is actually worthless…
The fact is diamonds don’t have any more base meaning then a moonstone.. they simply don’t…. it was created by marketing and is so deeply engrained into womens minds that even when presented with fact after fact after fact they simply choose to ignore them and say but it means love.. or it’s not real or or or.. all emotion based responses that have been preprogrammed into their mind by diamond companies wanting to make sure they keep their false market. Sheep.. simpley sheep. lol.
Christine the Lioness hunt n' pecked this
But who are you to judge what should mean something to someone else. If you had been dying for an X-Box and I got you a playstation instead, and said, well, it was cheaper and it does the same thing as an X-box… it allows you to play video games… would you have been happy? No, because it’s not what you wanted. Who am I to judge you for wanting one over the other? I could accuse you of being a product of all the marketing X-Box has done to try to convince people how cool it is, but the truth is… it really makes no difference to me why you like one more than the other. Instead of forcing my opinion on you… I think it’s a little cooler of me (if I’m going to get you somtehing) to just get you what you want instead of forcing what I like better on you because I think it’s a better value.
Also… you can say something is worthless, but things have value to different people for different reasons. Just because something doesn’t have the same meaning to you as it does to someone else doesn’t mean that they’re sheep (or not seeing the real picture) because they didn’t abandon whatever meaning it had for them.
I understand all the facts you brought up. I understand that diamonds can’t be resold for what they are purchased for. I understand all of that. But personally, I find it much more meaningful and romantic to receive a diamond that was formed after hundreds of years in a natural mine that might not be perfect because it doesn’t need to be, than one that was made in a lab with lots of others exactly like it. That’s fine if they’re making cars… but it the idea of doing that with a diamond is a turn off for me.
And when the hell did you learn how to spell ‘pretentious???’
Christine the Lioness pontificated
By the way… just for your information (since you’ve done so much research on this) a Cubic Zirconia is actually made of glass and while it might look like a diamond at first (and trust me, I’ve had plenty of cubic zirconia jewelry), it eventually takes on a dullish green tint from being explosed to sweat and water from washing your hands, etc. I replace my cubic zirconia ring about every 4 or 5 months. So while it may look the same to you, they are truly different properties and therefore, not the same.

Understanding the facts and ignoring them and choosing to think there is something SPECIAL about a rock formed over millions of years is a little strange.. hmm.. do you think.. oil or natural gas is special.. or.. what if I gave you a fossil?

Don’t worry, Christopher… I’d never expect a diamond from you anyway. You’re off the hook.
Trouble the Pirate quibbed this
Actually Christine, you’re comparing apples to oranges [or carats] in point #14. If Chris wanted an X-box and you got him a Playstation, although overly generous, you would be buying him an entirely different entity. Equivalent to you wanting a diamond, and him buying you an emerald. Now if some Korean company made an exact replica of the X-box, which played all the X-box games [?or better yet, came with pirate copies of all those games?], had all the same specs & features and cost a tenth of the price? Then by correct reasoning, he would be just as thrilled [if not more] to receive it. An X-box is not a Playstation is not a Gamecube is not an Atari 2600. A diamond is a diamond, regardless of where it was formed.

eric the Lil' Devil stated
listen bro,you can quote all of the facts you like and women will still want the rocks! just be wise enough not to get to that point! marraige is a lost institution in which people in today’s society cannot cope! it used to be a crutch, i mean security thing for women, but thank god women are now career oriented and make decent livings to allow us men to play the “land a sugar mama game!”:-”
Keith the Director got all philosophical
Let me start by saying thank you to trouble for printing was obvious to most or should have been Christine, well I don’t know about your boyz but the 3 of us will have now spoken on the subject and all seem to think the same thing. It’s not that we all hate on women, in fact I love women, but this infatuation with diamonds is ridiculous. Yes I admit the do sparkle and look nice, but you said it yourself you can get a CZ for a fractin of the price, and just have to replace it in a few months, and longer if you actually take it off once in a while The point is diamonds are actually worthless when it comes down to actual sale value. My friend owns a jewelry store, and I even asked him about this shit to get some facts. If you want a “REAL” piece of jewelry pick a different rock! Hell a pearl has more worth than a diamond does, and they don’t cost half as much…Sry hun but you cant argue facts! And facts is what Chris has been talking about!
Another little tidbit of info about how worthless these stones are….only 20% of the stones that are actually found are good enough for jewelry. 20% out of how many not very good odds compared to more worthwhile stones such as Sapphires, Rubies, and Emeralds which happen to be the most valuable stone out there to date.
aJ the Zen Master mentioned
My take.. If I love someone, and she wants it, then she deserves it. That’s all!
And if it is within my means to buy it for her, I will. 
It has to be whatever makes her happy, even if it is a diamond, a moonstone or glass rocks!
Christine the Lioness up'n wrote this
Aaaah… aJ. I knew there was a guy out there who could renew my faith in boys. It’s funny ya know… Christopher gives me pretty much everything I want… if I say I want or need something, he figures out a way for me to have it… which is amazing and I’ve never had a guy who does that before. I’m always astonished at how he takes care of me. But I think, being a boy, he just doesn’t understand the diamond thing. He is all about logic. And never about passion. I think aJ has it right. He isn’t trying to figure out why it’s logical or why a woman should want a diamond or not… he just accepts.
God bless him!

Personally I haven’t come across the right woman to spend that amount of money on for 1 thing! The price you can buya piece of shit ring to make someone happy is worth a lot more when put towards a car or motorcycle to get more use out of than just satisfying some want not a need!

Hey now thats a great idea Amy…I think every girl should have a geisha outfit! :”> they should also be willing to wait on their man on a whim and get him what he needs, massage his feet, feed him grapes and make him saki! Then offer him sex the way he wants it with foreplay optional for him!
Amy the Groupie stated
How do you think we spent last Thursday night????
Christine the Lioness chimed in with
So what exactly does the woman get out of it??? I haven’t met any men on this blog who are worth that type of treatment… especially the ones who are too selfish to get their girlfriends something and would rather spend their money on bar sluts…
Although on the geisha note… I do have to say that role playing is *the bomb.* As a gift to my ex, he came home from work one night to find me dressed as aphrodite, his favorite meal made, and I actually fed him grapes and raw oysters (we both love those) before giving him a massage and then hitting the sheets. When he walked in and saw me dressed in the costume, it was like seeing a child’s eyes light up at Christmas. He was really into ancient Roman gladiator stuff, and he told me the next day how awesome it was. So yeah… I could get into the geisha thing. Amy just inspired me to write a post. hehe.

Keith the Director up'n wrote this
Ok Amy..thanx for the visual, but really didn’t need to know that much However I’m glad you took the initiative! Christine girls love to pretend. They do it everyday so role playing for a little bit to please their man by dressing up and pretending she’s someone she isn’t shouldn’t be too daunting a task.
Also role playing and what not to brig some fun to sex isn’t even half way comparable. I mean a night of fun sex where you spent $50-70 isn’t even close to $2,000 on a stone!
Amy the Groupie stated
wow keith, I thought I was gullible!!
Keith the Director stated
Ummm apparently you didn’t notice the winks? What exactly are you refering to?
Christine the Lioness remarked
Finding a guy who wants to role play is actually more difficult than I think it should be. I would think guys would dig it as much as girls… but I’ve learned from experience that although we are conditioned by marketing to think so, guys don’t like costumes or lingerie as much as girls like wearing them. After the first two minutes, they’ve already got the costume or lingerie off and are going at it. 
Keith the Director said this
Isn’t that the general idea anyway?
Christine the Lioness asserted
Nooooooooooo… well, ultimately yes… but a little effort toward making the fantasy believable before the clothes come off would be nice. :-w

Well how much time are we talking about here??? What is the optimal time frame for a successful role play in Christine’s infinte wisdom?

Daniel-son, you ask too many question.
I’d say a good 10 - 15 minutes is an optimal role play period… and that goes for *all* foreplay btw…

But not as pathetic as people who overuse smiley faces.
Aukai Johnson the Virgin penned this
The answer here is simple.
Instead of buying Christine a diamond ring (lets say a 10,000 dollar one) , simply give her 10,000 dollars and let her spend it on whatever she wants. That will be BETTER than a diamond, and show your love moreso than a diamond. If she really wants that diamond, she can buy it.
But honestly, there are more ways to show your affection for a woman than to just buy her gifts. Gifts are good and are good in small amounts (so they dont become boring), but doing her housechores / housework for her or other things and working for her like a personal slave is even more sexy.
Christopher the Pyro quibbed this
Wreaking pussy is a great way to show love.
Christine the Lioness chimed in with
Yes, I’m sure “wrecking” my pussy is a very selfless act on Christopher’s part and shows very much how special I am to him.
I disagree with giving a woman money instead of a diamond. FIrst, $10,000 is very extravagant. I don’t think I could wear something worth $10,000 without turning into a stress case everyday because I could lose it or have it stolen. And second, jewelry is only special when someone else buys it for you. I look at the gifts Christopher and other people have given me all the time and remember how nice it was for them to give me that. I don’t look at a gift and think how great it was that someone gave me money to buy that thing. I think jewelry specifically is meant to represent something from one person to another. That’s why you see people give gift cards for clothes, make up, other items, but not gift cards for jewelry– but I thinking going and picking something out together would be a nice experience too.
I do agree that there are a lot better ways to show a woman your affection than giving her gifts. Doing things to make her life easier (picking up her trash and taking it out rather than just walking past it on your way out, or taking her car in to get checked out if something seems to be wrong with it, or picking up her mail every day when she’s away– all those things are better than expensive gifts).
Notice– I didn’t mention “wrecking her pussy” on that list. True, great sex and making her orgasm until she’s weak is terrific, but as great as it is, it doesn’t show her that you love her.

ProphetJoe the Irreverent mentioned
Christine said “True, great sex and making her orgasm until she’s weak is terrific, but as great as it is, it doesn’t show her that you love her.”
I’ve never understood that… why doesn’t it? If I was only concerned about MY orgasm, then I certainly wouldn’t go to the time and effort of bringing you to multiple orgasms!
I can see why you might say “a blow job in the grocery store parking lot” is not indicative of his undying love for her, but taking the time to bring you to orgasm so many times… come on, that IS one of our functions of showing you how much we love you!
