Why announce an engagement, especially if you’re not getting married in six months or less? In my opinion, an engagement should be kept private between the parties involved. No one needs to know that someone placed a little cheap ring on your finger.
Women on a whole get wet when men talk about ring and marriage. Ladies, get a grip. Some men just do it out of insecurity.
I know a lot of girls who have been engaged for two years going and the boyfriend is not talking about marriage, but when she thinks of cheating the ring appears to be a psychological hindrance.
“I feel like I am already married. It’s a commitment,” one of them told me once.
Oh please! If your man engaged you and he has no idea when the wedding is going to be or he is telling you next year, especially if next year is more than six months away, 50% of the time he is not ready to get married. The ring is just used to mask his insecurity. Also be very suspect about men who want to engage you before they travel or relocate. An overseas relationship is not going to work, first of all. Worst, a ring will not do much either.
And I find it very appalling how gullible women get when a man shows them a ring. Come on ladies. Do better than that.
I have seen females advertising their engagement on Facebook, Twitter, Hi5 and Msn Messenger, then several months later or years later when you ask for an update, they say it did not materialise.
Just the other day I was online, relaxing and chatting, and one of my female friends said “hi Nice Guy, how are you?” Now this so-called friend hadn’t spoken to me for months but because she got engaged, and she wanted me to see her display photo on Msn Messenger showing her engagement finger with the ring, she hailed me up. But I did not comment, so she changed her display photo a few minutes later to her ugly self. I know for sure the man does not want her. She needs a mirror.
Men are to be blamed too. When you are starving for “fish” and you get some good “fish”, things fly through your brain, causing a disruption in normal functioning of the vital organ, prompting you, among other foolish things, to rush and spend your lifetime savings to buy a ring and engage the woman; then after the “fish” gets stale you change your mind when the poor woman’s mind already prepared for a wedding.
Guys get a grip, and stop handing out rings like wholesale toilet paper. Don’t engage a girl until you’re absolutely ready for marriage, and you’re absolutely sure of the date.
Some people however get engaged as a sign of commitment, but it is still senseless. Why do you need a ring to prove that you’re committed? Are you trying to say you’re not 100% confident?
OK before I go, I’ll reiterate, stop showing off because your man gave you a two-carrot engagement ring or a pop corn ring for a ring. If it’s over 15 carrots, it is not real. It is vegetable, or he probably found it. It’s not worth celebrating because that is no surety that he will get married to you. When he places the ring and start making concrete plans for a wedding, then you know you have a winner. Otherwise, beat it. And leave the people dem Facebook and Messenger out of the equation.
I hope when ya’ll break off the engagement you will announce it too – on Twitter! Tweet, tweet!
See ya next Friday!
ha ha ha thanks Mr.Nice Guy for the laughter all my womb hurting i laugh to hard
Mordieu……Lawd…… help that man. He is so miserable it not funny.
Mr.nice guy u do have a point..
but i see no reason why u would want to call ur girl-friend ugly
we do get over our head sometimes with engagement
i agree if u not ready to settle down dnt engage.
though the ringcoudl signify something else like commitment to stay true to each other and bond, doesnt have to be engagement..
i have known a friend who had a ring but it wasnt engagement, it was a promise from her man..then a year after they got enaged..
but think ladies need to really sit and think sometimes…dnt accept a ring from a man unless u knw for sure he is ready to settle down or he is really the man u want in ur life…dnt just bling for bling sake…engagement is a very important satge in a woman s life….MEN GIVE THE RING, LADIES ACCEPT IT…ONLY IF U ARE BOTH READY
i totally agree with some of the statements that you have made.I do not believe that an engagement should be more than a year. In MY OPINION an engagement should be when you are certain that that is the person you want to get married to.
and you right when you say that some women just want to show off a ring ….that I think is so childish…at the end of the day it is not the ring that matter!!! Some women are indeed very gullible….the man treat them like shit and then in public they want to be showing off a ring…oh please!!
stupes,mr nice guy i have been happily engaged for one and a half year and now the date has been set and i will be getting married in 6 months time and in the mean time i will continue to show off my bling,hahahahahaha.
I guess Mr. Nice Guy got a gwo pwell because his ex got engaged and he is blowing off.
llllllloooolllllllllllll!!!! oh Gad! mi ovaries!!!!!!!!!!!! all u killing me!!!LMAO
REAL FUNNY, YOUR COMMENTS ARE MY ENTERTAINMENT
MR NICE GUY YOU GETTING BAD MAN. WERENT YOU THE ONE WHO WROTE ABOUT CHEAP GUYS TOP UP THE GIRL PHONE
NYWAYS ENGAGEMENT IS THE MAN WAY OF TRYING TO KEEP GUYS AWAY FROIM YOU, WHILST HE GOES ALL ABOUT THE PLACE CATCHING CRABS….. MIND YOU THERE ARE GOOD GUYS WHO WILL ENGAGE YOU AND HAVE AN IMMEDIATE DATE IN MIND….. BUT THE WEDDING RING DOESNT STOP THEM FROM GETTING AND SHARING CRABS NEITHER…. WOMEN LOOK OUT FOR YOU
why cant a woman share her joy..why does people have to know when she is sad and not when she is happy.
Mr Nice Guy is neither male or female. It's a shim a hybrid like a car petrol and electricity
or let's just say a mule or enunch. if it happens to be male the balls/testicles were not surgicall removed but emotionally. That would explain the emotional side of shim/mr.Nice Guy.
i thought it was karat & not carrot gold, mr nice guy you are dumb
Mr. Nice guy,
Have you ever planned a wedding? Do you even know how much time and energy goes into the planning of a wedding? I dare you to plan an entire wedding in six months or less. I have no idea why you are so bitter about this particular topic, maybe it stems from that young lady you're talking about. Did she tell you no, and say yes to someone else? Did you hang your hat where your hand couldn't reach?
Either way, I suggest you stick to your area of expertise, you know, things like drinking beer and peeing in a straight line. Your unsolicited advice on people's engagements should be kept to yourself. No one cares if you get engaged or not, but I see no reason for you to berate those who choose to express their feelings for each other through getting engaged. Get off your high horse, and MYOB.
Please leave the wedding advice to the experts!
mr. nice guy…you are too cute!…. i just love your articles……you are sooo right on point!
who ever you are , am not even saying if i agree with your not, . but this girl you are talking about “maybe the others will agree with me”, isn t she one of your ex????? in your comment i can read anger, jalousy, insults, ect. people show off everything, you maybe showing of you car , your work your home, or something tht is notimportant to another person. If they are happy and wants to share it with someone or the whole world why not???? life is short and who knowns wht these people went through with other guys ??? don t juge people since you yourself don 't sound like good with all what you said. shame on you weman tht thinks wht he said is a jok. u don t call a woman ugle and all the rest you said; maybe and i wish it for her as i would wish it for myself my daugter my mum and all the wemen in this world HAPPYNESS! so many of us that went through sadness because of a man or a woman …. i agree with D pincess, patat,big kix, GP?,
good job words well said
Bossman!!! Speak for your dan self.
Any fool can see that you are a broke … man that cannot spend money and doh have money
I doh want you near my sisters.
All women take risk.
And when last you pass by a jewelry store that selling real gold rings and not d crap gold fill rings you seem to know very well?
Sorry to tell you this: but you doh seem to be a well to do man and should stay away from romantic relationships and pay your $Fares once every two weeks.
If what I write here is not a reflection of you then sorry to say your writing style on this piece was substandard – crass.
lollllllllllll……….Mr.Nice guy does give me kixx wii….buh all that true maynneee……
LMAO This was article was very entertaining and the comments were even better. Keep it coming!!!!!
Hi NIce Guy, did someone reject your proposal?
You sound awfully bitter… a man choosing to give his girlfriend an engagement ring, how they do it, and how long they take to get married is none of your business. You sound like the green monster is nipping at you. Get over yourself!!!!
Boy and some of them woman want to go on ice.com and diamonds.com and koulay man pocket. They want expensive ring that costing more than a months rent, plus bills and food! Well i does give them early notice one ring I can afford is a KEY RING.
thank you!!!!!!!, nice article, harse but true….i especially like the closing.
mr nice guy is hating on the woman enagement.. u need to take a grip. dont matter if the ring is cheap atleast the man wants her. if he did not want her he would never engage her. i agree women like to show off but it is good sometimes to let haters like u know that she is taken. the girl just wanted to share her joy with you. u sound like u wanted her. i wonder how u looking for u to say her ugly self and she needs a mirror. breath u sounding like u have alot of tention
Trust me if my girlfriend read that she will say boy mister was taking me for a ride you know, although she knows better, but nice guy you have a point. At the time I was not 100% ready. Almost sounded like you tried something at my girl and she told you how so long you aint know she engaged, lol.
You sound like a hater. talking about ppl's “cheap little rings.” However i agree with some of your comments. In truth, i think women show off too much. or like to talk about “their man” to others to others too much…in an attempt to be seen in a certain “light”. your man or your relationship doesnt make you who you are…it should not define u. so if this is the case then i guess they get what they deserved. They embarrassed themselves if they eventually don't get married after all their showing off. I agree that most women would love the fairy tale ending, get married, have kids live happily ever after. Not gonna happen! least not with everyone. I believe that women should take their time and hand pick the man they need in their life for the rest of their lives. Marriage is not a show. its a serious institution of society.
Ok then..mr. nice guy, did a woman somehow reject u in any way shape of form? Almost sounds like that. Secondly, no girl is ugly, God made everyone in his own image and likeness, therefore we are wonderfully and fearfully made. I doubt you would like it if someone found you ugly, you would feel hurt. Don't call other persons ugly. Thirdly, If someone wants to show off their ring, who are you to tell them otherwise, they are happy. Now I'm not saying that there aren't some men, who are not serious, of course they are men like that, and they play on these women feelings. Just like you won't want persons to reign on your parade, don't reign on their parade. Besides i think 6 mths is only enough time, if you're goin 2 have a small wedding or you already had the ball in motion to get married before the man proposed.. I mean, as a man, you don't realise all the details that planning a wedding requires, so don't say if he doesn't marry you in 6 mths, then he is insecure. Furthermore, wedding = money, some people might not be able to come up with all the financial resources in 6 months. And finally, i personally, don't think that just because you're in a committed relationship, guys/girls stay committed to each other. Marriage is committment, if you're really serious about committment, that's what you want. Don't give us women that crap about i don't have to marry you to be committment, that's a man's way of saying, what we have is good, but not great or strong enough to last, when great comes along I won't have any ties,it'll be easier to leave…they're just waiting for someone they think that is better to come along, especially if you're with that guy for years, you trying to tell me you still not sure that's the rite person for you? after all this time…shame..and dats a fact Mr. nice guy. …and just for your information, No I am not engaged…so don't think i was opposing your statement because you think I am one of those women you mentioned, am sure you were thinking of that…
so true mr nice guy
that is so true, a man dates u for wat, three monthes then he proposes. wats that about? Men show a ring when they are afraid of losing you and they're not so ready to comment but they want you to stay. DON'T GIVE A RING IF NOT READY FOR THE REAL DEAL…. I'M BETTER THAN THAT
Bon J I hope all dem women who like to flash their cheesy rings in other people faces take notes. I personally think that flashing ring business is quite juvenile!
weh papa mi dehbah
