;) Had to. :hi:


BTW, MrG got my love by the way he looked in a tough guy, leather motorcycle jacket cuddling my two year old baby in her pink fuzzy sleeper and singing her to sleep. :hi:

7. Sadly I really think they do
I have so many male friends who date shallow model types and then turn around and complain that they are dating shallow women!

Duh, you only want her for herlooks; that's why she only cares about your money

10. I didn't bother replying to the diamond thread
But my hubby knows what works for me. The first year we were together, he bought me over $300 worth of tools for my birthday. He was so nervous when I opened them - he cautioned me that he either did very well or he is a complete idiot. He did very well - it was a great gift. :loveya:

I like simple silver jewelry but I'm a pretty practical gal. Yesterday he surprised me with a new riding whip. He knows me well.

16. My husband surprised me during our first year of marriage
by coming home one afternoon, not with a bouquet of roses or some such, but with a collection of Shakespeare tragedies for me. :)

13. Any woman whose affection can be bought with diamonds
Edited on Sat Dec-04-04 01:57 PM by JimmyJazz
isn't really worth the cost. You know what I'm saying? I don't like diamonds or flowers or other stupid gifts. Give me something that shows you have taken the time to learn what I like.

Or even better, give me your time and attention.

Oops, on edit: :hi:

15. Diamonds wouldn't work with my wife
If I showed up with a skid of 100-percent wool yarn in Natural color, that would be a different story.

18. Diamonds ARE a girls best friend...
The problem is , not enough men try to buy love with diamonds. Dig deep boys, Christmas is here and us girls need bling. I promise you, it will be worth it!;)

17. Not a big fan of diamonds, so I guess it wouldn't work with me.
I have always been concerned with "conflict" diamonds (diamonds mined and sold to finance terror campaigns in Africa and elsewhere). I recently read an article that the diamond industry isn't following its own plan on not selling these diamonds and that a person never knows if they are buying one of them or not.

23. Naw! But, there are a lot that think that's important...
:-)

CAN’T BUY ME LOVE
Lennon and McCartney


Say you don’t need no diamond rings
And I’ll be satisfied
Tell me that you want the kind of things
That money just can’t buy
I don’t care too much for money
Money can’t buy me love

Can’t buy me love, everybody tells me so
Can’t buy me love, no, no, no, no

Say you don’t need no diamond rings
And I’ll be satisfied
Tell me that you want the kind of things
That money just can’t buy
I don’t care too much for money
Money can’t buy me love

Can’t buy me love, love
Can’t buy me love


:silly:

24. No, some of us never even consider it.
I would never pay thousands of dollars or even hundreds on a shiny rock. Fortunately the wife is likeminded and practical.
