Q: A recent survey says that 75% of women want to do this themselves?
A: Choose their own engagement ring
A new survey talked to 2,000 single women, and 75% said they’d rather pick out the ring THEMSELVES. So guys should either use a stand-in, or no ring at all. Here are five more stats that are kind of interesting . . .
- A third of the women who wanted to pick out their own ring said it was because the guy would totally botch it, and buy something they hated.
- About 95% of women said they want a diamond. Only 5% said they want something else, like a ruby or an emerald. And the average woman expects you to spend just over $1,200 on it.
- The ideal amount of time you should date before you propose is 25 months . . . so just over two years.
- 25% of women said they might say NO to a proposal if it wasn’t good enough.
- Less than 20% of women said they have the “perfect proposal” pictured in their mind. So the good news is most women AREN’T expecting you to be perfect, and they’re okay with a little spontaneity.
