Jewellery store closings were up 11% in 2015!

[BeerParticipant 11832]

Jewellery to me has always seemed like a giant waste of money…of course, its probably because I’m into the stealth wealth thing. Even if its for yourself, its just useless s~~~ you wear to say “hey, look at me, I have money to blow on stupid s~~~ that doesn’t do anything.” If I had the urge to publicly show off my money I’d rather just buy a sports car, at least I could use it for something fun.

bling aint my thing either.
f~~~ buying them jewelry or anything.
.
they are strong and empowered,
they can buy themselves a f~~~ing ring.

The only jewel I’ve ever given any woman was my c~~~. I have been fleeced for dinners and trips though.

There would be zero jewelry stores left if all men were like me. Maybe their cats can take up the slack.

Fixed.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

I believe they call that a “pearl necklace”.
Where you arc your glob on her neck.

the hormones had gone crazy and she said ,
“you didn’t get me these because you love me ! ”
i was in shock, i asked why would i spend so much on a gift for her
she replied,
“because you want to think it makes you a good husband, but it DOESN’T “..
i took them back and sold them to a store for a third of what they cost me..
never, NEVER again.

I was wondering why my local jewelers’ ads seemed more desperate than usual. They were using every psyop trick in the book. I almost spewed.

MGTOW is not a movement, it is a way of life.

Big common problem. You’re an asshole no matter what you do. If it’s not “you’re an asshole for buying me something useful like computer ram“….. it’s “You can’t buy my love” and “he thinks he can impress me by buying me expensive gifts”.

F~~~ all of it straight to hell.

When I was 24, I went out of my way to buy my live-in girlfriend exactly what she wanted. On her birthday she opened it up, and before she said “thank you” she criticized it because it wasn’t made of the right material.

Will never forget it. Even the date.
I dumped her on her birthday. And it felt GREAT.

Many years later I bought another girlfriend a pair of $25 earrings from a museum / artsy shop. They were not “expensive” at all but they had significance and “meant something”. She lost them.

All I could think was “thank f~~~ they weren’t jewels”. And then when I bought her a second-generation iPod when I couldn’t really afford it, her mom says “if it has a plug it’s not a gift” and she hinted to wanting jewelry instead.

I got a better idea.

JUST.

F~~~.

OFF.

Conversely, every time a man marries, he IS marrying down.

But alas: FEMALE LOGIC won’t let these women feel shame for NOT BRINGING MATERIAL WEALTH TO THE TABLE when negotiating a long term relationship with a man. All they need is a pussy pass. Men are expected to provide whatever else is lacking…and there’s usually a lot lacking when it comes to women who want to “marry up.”

I was actually going to say that to YOU.

Thank you for the inspiration (and for bringing it!).
Just added it to the site posters as well.

This kind of s~~~ turns my f~~~ing stomach.

NO. You want a diamond? talk to me after 60 years of marital bliss and you will have to be nice to me for 6 decades first. NOT BEFORE THE WEDDING YOU’RE OUT OF YOUR F~~~ING MIND.

A man would have to be insane (at any income level!) throwing away $25K (or 2-3 months after tax savings) on a diamond BEFORE the wedding when that kind of money can be put to any better use. Like towards the house. A bigger down payment. Piano lessons for the kids. Anything but wasting it on her anxious & selfish little hand.

My dad wanted to buy my Mom an engagement ring. She practically slapped him and said “DON’T YOU DARE!!!. Take the money and double the house payment. Or fix the car. Or whatever. But if you waste it on a ring I will kill you.” I asked my Dad and he said yeah that’s true. She forbid it. No jewelry, earrings or ANYTHING. My Mom had NO real jewelry of any worth.

She had nice dishes which everyone enjoyed together at family events but that was it.

Even the wedding bands were cheap as f~~~. The cheapest gold bands they could get. They were married until dad died.

My Mom actually said to me MANY times: “If your future fiancee ever pushes you for a diamond ring, DO NOT marry her.”

Solid.

P.S. My brother bought his fiancee a ring anyway. When she “announced” it and displayed it for everyone, it took all of my Mom’s self control to not say a word. She just made VERY BIG EYES, pursed her lips, and pretended like something was burning in the kitchen and excused herself. It was hilarious.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

Jack123 here again for some timely love advice.

My toxic c~~~ of an ex-gf assured me that I didn’t need to buy her expensive gifts and all she needed was my loving company. F~~~ MGTOW, I’ve found the NAWALT!

Fast forward 6 months deep into the relationship and she is complaining endlessly to her friends what an asshole I am and forwarding on her friends’ advice which is to dump me cause I’m not spending enough money on her.

Remember gentlemen, if you want your precious flower to love you not complain for that day, buy her expensive s~~~.

[Cap285Participant 6007]

Good. I hope they all go out of business.

Fuck this planet.

LET her dump you. LOOK FORWARD to it.
She would be doing you a favor.

Here’s the interesting part of that…

You buy her an expensive gift…. even if you’re feeling generous and it makes you feel good to give her what she wants and likes.

Then she gives you ALL of her affection…
On a day she normally would NOT.

Fascinating isn’t it.

Even more importantly. Buying her anything so she doesn’t complain is THE WRONG REASON to buy her anything. It means your gift is not regarded as +1 or recognized as you being generous. You give her a gift and THE BEST you’ll do is “not be an asshole”????

F~~~. HER.

Buy her something to “to make her happy for a day”. How many “days” does it take for you to earn it after taxes and expenses? Women don’t even think like that.

How many hours/days do you need to work to earn $1500? Because that’s at least how much you have to earn to be able to realistically afford to spend $100 on a meal / movie / parking and popcorn.

It’s not how long it takes you to earn it.
It’s how long it takes you to SAVE it.

Do you think a woman (and her friends) understand that when they’re giving you s~~~?

Dump that bitch like an anchor.

You’re not working for X-number of days JUST so she will stop complaining for one day. Jesus Christ. I would rather drink bleach.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

Buy her COAL and tell her to sit on it a really really really long long time!

[Jack123Participant 324]

Keymaster,

Thank you for your reply.

If it wasn’t clear from my post, I was speaking about my ex-gf. I did dump her in December 2015. I’ve been single ever since 🙂

Better yet…. if anyone asks, you’re “unmarried”. 😉

I stopped worrying about going to the jewelry stores back in 2007 and concerned myself with going to the gold/silver coin store. Now I don’t care what happens to the f~~~ing petro dollar and geo-political struggles for the dollar hegemony.

Not to mention my plentiful cash savings.

Women = Male empty pockets
MGTOW = MONEY in your pockets
Gold/silver = Locking in the value of your savings and always having real physical value in storage.
Cash savings = Not having to worry about needing to worry about the next paycheck coming quickly and being able to buy things at leisure.

[SkeptiskParticipant 3679]

I have to say I bought a gold cartouche pendant with a gold necklace 7 years ago in Cairo. It was for myself actually, not somebody else. I had my name stamped in hieroglyphs onto it. Not cheap, but it’s all mine. I’d never spend any jewelry on somebody else, that’s too much.
