The Shine: "Man-gagement rings" on the rise

someone should start a new trend ..of staying married

The engagement ring for a man looks like a wedding band. In general, men don't wear rings as much as women do. And the term mangagement is stupid. It wasn't a womangagement, it's an engagement. Both are engaged to be married.

In Germany when people get engaged, both of them get a goldband, with their names engraved in each others ring.

man-gagement rings? Whoever the dodo is that keeps coming up with these terrible "trendy" words needs their face bashed in. I am so sick of hearing them.

"Man-gagement rings"? Are people really too lazy to put forth the effort to say the three seperate words "Man's engagement ring"?

This must be a jewelers idea...

And yet men are still denied all domestic violence services in every city in the land!

the fastest way to make a man head for the exit is to look desperate.

My Grandma was married to my papa for 45 years before he passed away. They never wore rings. She said she didn't need a ring. Not much use for them back in her day.

more evidence that men are losing their testicles and acting like idiots

Ugh, all these cutesy names for everything need to stop. Man-cation, man-scaping, baby bump, man-gagement ring. Enough already!

The best part of this "story" is the commentators stating the truth about a trend of staying married...would be nice to see people actually taking the commitment seriously. Dogs at your wedding...completely stupid.

stupid article !

wearing a wedding band i ust to until i was hired for a job witch required me to remove it or maybe loose a finger but wear it when not working

My first wife gave me one back in '77 the marrage only lasted 7 years but I still have it

Here's one. When you break your engagement, to let everyone know you're available again: a been-gagement ring. It's worn on the midde finger of either hand has your phone number on it.

I can tell you why, us men like to keep what is ours. It's all a marriage if convieance of getting crap for free if "things don't work out".

Women talk about games, but sorry ladies, if anyone plays them more it would be the ladies after they are married. I was engaged 3! Times, each time something I seen or would hear from my significant other would shine threw so brightly, it was like a RED BEAMING PULSAR saying "run quick very quick" and it seems out of my friends, I am not the only one. Marriage isn't marriage anymore, it's a means of living a out an expensive fantasy followed by a "if this dating doesn't work out , I will just call it off and get whats mine" type of additude.

If your a lady reading this and are offended, then you are the exact person I refer too. For someone reading this that would not be offended, doesn't think this is about them. Sorry ladies, the old romance is out there, but the women of today are just not worth it.

I almost asked my finace to marry me, [he asked me first] but instead of a ring I was going to buy him a battle ready lightsaber. The ones he wants are like $300, so it's nowhere near the cost of a ring, but it's something he would appreciate more than a ring...especially considering he's a huge star wars fan.

what a joke.....wanna barf.........

I would have to say no, no matter what here I unerstand my role and couldn't be with someone that didn't understand their role I had to ask my wifes parent for permission for her hand and prove to them i could matain my oath to god and would make my wifes live better i guess im old at 44 but if my son and daughter i have raised with these same morals by the way my wife would not have taken me if her parents would not have gave us their blessing, something ive won through truth, and trust.
