However as a general trend women remain the largest consumers of diamonds only because men buy them for them. If you're going to point fingers make sure to pint them in the right direction. Frankly I'm of the opinion that most men are pretty clueless in the realm of romance and substitute expensive/grandiose gifts rather than making a genuine effort to actually find out what would please their signifigant other. To clarify 26 flowers sent every other week will score you more points than two dozen flowers sent at once. (Although your average florist has a minimum delivery charge of 30$ so you may want to deliver the individual flowers yourself.) Conversely three 500$ sapphire pieces of jewelry will serve you better over the course of time than one 1500$ diamond ring (particularly if your lady love has blue eyes). I may be a single dad but that doesn't mean I don't know squat about women. Its similiar to the law enforcement problem of who do you punish the most severly? The junkies, the dealers, or the suppliers.? Dos you might have been on spot 10 years ago but we now live in an age in which “bling” is a status symbol for both genders.

Frankly, I find the diamond to be overdone. I like my sapphire engagement ring, and I feel sorry for those poor girls who can't get their minds out of the diamond rut. They're really missing out.

Yep, that's right, you! In the Billy Ray Valentine School of Economics: If women didn't leverage their sexual goods on a little rock, there wouldn't be a demand and thus, there would not be genocide in Africa. So from me and a whole bunch of Africans - please ladies -- stop using diamonds as a proxy for male sexual worthiness. There are other proxies that you can use which accomplish the same biological and cultural goal -- pretty much anything which symbolizes conspicious wealth -- like exotic animal furs. As for me, the next little blue box I get for Mrs. DosPeros will have a picture of a dead African in it. Who is responsible for this genocide ladies? Yep, that’s right, you!
