Demand for diamonds isn't driven by gender. There are just as many men who want to show off that they can afford a big shiny rock than there are women who want their partner to buy them a big shiny rock.

It's not that much showing off as it is the fear that the woman won't be pleased with a cheap option.

For some, sure. For others it is absolutely about showing off.
