"Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend"

[Governor Megachris%Participant 3584]

I remember reading a post about diamonds vs. dogs on here, but I can’t find it now and I wanted to add to it.

Diamonds are merely shiny rocks that a woman can wear to look “flashy.”  They may have monetary value, but that’s about it.

Dogs are MAN’s best friend, and will stick by his side until the day one of them dies.  Can’t say the same about a stupid diamond.

What does one woman tell me for bringing that point up (it was an online discussion about a diamond ring selling for $22 million and women “ooh”ing and “ahh”ing at that stupid thing).

“My ring will stay on my finger until I die, and then the funeral director will steal it…so basically your point was not made.  Lol”

Ummm…WHAT?  My point was NOT made?  Maybe it’s just me, but that was one of the strangest responses I’ve ever seen.

She didn’t get the point, so she is talking out of her ass in order to look intelligent.

It didn’t addressed anything it was previously stated.

In a nutshell: Women’s logic.

Yeah, but could you ever imagine Marilyn Monroe singing “Doggies Are A Girl’s Best Friend”?

Over the years I’ve become something of a minor expert on diamonds.  I can usually estimate the value of a stone to within a hundred dollars or so and very occasionally even identify its probable source.  Whenever I’m out with a woman and I find she’s gravitated to the jewelery counter, as they usually do, I like to sidle up behind her and go over the stones with her and the sales rep behind the counter.  I’ll point out the stones that are overpriced, the ones that are cut off-ideal, the lighting tricks the shop uses in their display cases to fake fire in the stones.  I’ll also point out the really quality pieces, especially any that are priced near their actual value and point out what makes them superior.

Usually the woman I’m with is getting pretty excited at this point, to say nothing of the sales clerk, so after pointing out the best stone in the collection I like to drop the bomb: “Of course it’s all trash.  Utterly useless.  A complete waste of money.  If you need me I’ll be over looking at tools.”

@sidecar – I loved it!

Diamonds is the biggest scam in the history of marketing.

By the way there is a company that sells diamond look-alikes called betterthandiamond (no affiliation). They take CZ cores and coat them with diamond coating and then polish. There is no way you could tell the difference (even the guy who was mounting it didn’t know it was fake) with a naked eye or a magnifying glass. They look and sparkle like top-of the line natural diamonds but cost a fraction. Just an FYI

I once heard a reason why diamonds are traditionally associated with courtship and marriage.  That tradition was invented by de Beers in order to create a market for them.

 

There you have it, gentlemen:  an industry sustained by female vanity.

I have a graduate in Economics and always been fascinated with marketing – the most mainstream and legal type of mindf~~~. By studying marketing and advertising you can lift the veil of the dark knowledge on human psyche and how to manipulate it. The methods are the same as used in propaganda and social engineering of all kinds, but they’re all out in the open. The story of de Beers and diamonds is the biggest and most novel textbook example of all of that – it’s a rosetta stone to understanding by what extent are we being programmed and duped into slavery. Thanks for bringing up this topic

Diamonds and females are not so different.  To fools they are valuable, to the wise they are vestigial, and with the exception of a few narrow applications, they are generally useless.

The best explanation I’ve seen about the diamond business and how it works is an old frontline documentary you can still see on youtube. go to youtube and search ‘frontline pubs diamond empire’. As a business model, it’s fascinating to me the way it works. After watching this documentary, my opinion is: diamonds are another beautiful lie.

But I’d be interested in the opinions of other guys here if you have time to watch it.

In 1938, the diamond cartel De Beers began a marketing campaign that would have a major impact on engagement rings.  That was the start of the diamond cartels.  Whoever the man was who thought up that marketing campaign was a genius or the anti-christ against men.   Given that women bit on the marketing campaign gives me a chuckle on how easy they were manipulated by men.  Feminists still want their diamonds even though they may or may not know it was a Patriarchy plot.  Hee Hee.

That seems like a lot of work compared to just using a pure CVD stone, which is pure 100% diamond of a higher quality than you will ever get from a natural source.  Of course most of the cost in diamond production is in the cutting, which you have to do for any stone regardless of the source.  Natural rough diamonds themselves are literally as common as dirt.  Because that’s what they are.  All the supposed “value” comes from market jiggery.

So I guess the association with women is pretty apt after all.

Not just vanity, but also competitiveness.  The purpose of a diamond to most women is simply being able to show it off to her friends for “girly points” or some such bulls~~~.  This is why women will oooh and ahhh over really crap pieces so long as they are big.  For that matter they really don’t give two f~~~s about the stone itself.  Most of what matters to them is how much they managed to coerce some dumb schmuck into paying for it.

Yessir women have a strange addiction to those expensive little useless stones. Girl I was dating always ruined our trips to the mall with requests to stop in Zeidmans – ughhhhh. I always thought to myself  – here we go again.  I hated acting like I was interested in looking at that expensive junk, especially when the employees got into “get this sucker to buy at all costs mode”.  I swear some of them know when a manipulative gold digger has got a good prey item in her grasp and they literally team up and try to push you to make an impulse buy with all the great deals they claim to have.

Whore tried to get me to buy a wedding ring (which I almost did due to black friday deals) and a pair of diamond J -hoop earrings. I still think about how I almost bought both of those for her and breathe a long sigh of relief that I didn’t.  She even had a sister that got some guy to buy her a 15 k wedding ring and then dumped him like 2 weeks later after sleeping with some dude on his birthday of all days – awful whores. I never even met him but I still feel sorry for that guy for some reason.  I began to think that she was going to do the same thing to me – get the ring and then say bye bye as she headed for the pawn shop.  Sorry guys but I always have to rant on this whore – makes me feel better

That’s another risk I never thought about.  I always worried about marrying a woman and getting cheated on after we had children, so she could take my money AND my children (and for bonuses, she’d call “rape” on me after our first night and have me arrested)…but even leaving the man after buying her the shiny new ring makes plenty of sense!  There was another article I read on the same news page where a woman was fighting for her right to keep the ring after her husband left her for someone else.  Of course, we only got her side of the story, so everyone said how “empowered” she was for fighting to keep a stupid ring that cost a man thousands…

Sidecar:

 

You’re right about the competitiveness aspect of diamonds.  It’s almost like the female equivalent of the nuclear weapons arms race.

 

That comparison seems appropriate.  The Cold War involved a lot of bluffing.  For example, during the traditional May Day parades, the Soviets used to display all sorts of armaments.  One trick Nikita Khrushchev used was to fly the same formation of aircraft in a circle over Moscow, leading NATO observers to believe that the Soviet air force was much larger than it actually was.

 

Similarly, with diamonds, and the settings they’re displayed in, the actual piece of jewelry conveys a number of messages.  First, the price indicates that the beau in question is “loaded”, often used as a measure of value when women compare their men with each other.  Another is the size of the thing–the bigger the better, much like each side in the Cold War bragged about the projected yield of their nuclear weapons.

 

But, there’s also the hidden message of the level of the man’s commitment to that woman.  If he’s willing to shell out that sort of cash, and have the result of that expenditure publicly displayed on her finger or around her neck, he must truly be besotted with her.  Similarly, each side in the Cold War believed that if the opposition was willing to build a certain weapons system, which was often quite expensive in terms of money and resources, it must be an indication of certain strategic intentions.  Never mind that some of them were purely for show to deter or mislead the other side.
