A comment on Diamonds Keep Getting Cheaper. Parent comment
Q: Is it just me, or does that statement sound like it fell out of the 1950s through some kind of wormhole?
In no particular order:
* If the girl asks the guy to marry her, are we to understand that he should expect to receive a diamond ring from her, to somehow seal the deal?
* Why should it be the guy "promising marriage" to the girl?
* Why should it be based on "guys" marrying "girls" at all?
