Yes. Sure. If he can't afford. You want equality between men and woman if it benefits the woman, but want gender role if it will burden them. Your host are some of the most hypocrite people out there. Stupid feminism only wants selective equality. Disgusting.
Uh no. Some things need to stay the same. Just go simple. In time on the 5th anniversary or later when financially stable we could always upgrade the ring.
Men have to pay for women's engagement rings and they usually want it to be expensive. However, when women buy the men's wedding bands they are usually not expensive at all. Can we be honest?
@@25fadeaway so true but the woman is the gift. It ia the man's way of being able to show he can adequately maintain a wife and household. Men are not supposed to be adorned anyway..
No thank you, He is asking me! If he can’t afford something super “extravagant” but wants to propose at that time, we can always upgrade down the line. 💗
That but usually when the guy knows he plans and saves up. There have been grandparents that worked three jobs and told the woman that they had two jobs just to make sure they got the ring they felt their woman deserved. I agree with Adrienne and Loni.
My husband and I had to get married quickly through the courts before he went to boot camp. We got a $90 from Pandora that I wear now. When he is done with training and after COVID we want to have our wedding in the church. That is what matters to us, not the ring. But I will say even when he does upgrade eventually to a real diamond, this ring will ALWAYS be super special to me because it symbolizes our journey together. The ring doesn’t matter. The marriage does.
Jeannie girl bye 🙄 I agree with Adrienne, some women put too much into the ring and judge how big or how much it costs. What’s more important the ring or the marriage? Yes, I want a nice rice but it doesn’t have to cost a lot of money.
Thank you… the whole showing it off to friends.. please. That’s like so many women want a wedding but they have no clue how to be a wife or what marriage entails.
If a woman begins her journey with a man who couldn't afford to pay for an engagement ring, chances are she will carry him financially throughout the marriage. There are retailers that sell beautiful rings of great quality that can be purchased at a relatively reasonable price. Some of these rings start at an asking price of $300.00. It just takes some researching on his part. Women are not supposed to purchase their own engagement rings.
I guess it's only okay if men financially carry Independent women. traditional rules are important but it seems like only one side is expected to be traditional
When me and my girl got together in 2004. We're both not into jewelry. So i asked her if she would she prefer a diamond ring or a new car. She chose a new Infiniti and has never regretted it. She loved that car.
So how people supposed to yall are spoken for? It's a nice gesture but what if a guy that is nice trying to shoot their shot with your wife? A nice, decent guy would see a ring and walk right pass her. I just think a ring would clear up confusion for other people. Of course yall can always say yall married so it's not that big of a hassle. I prefer no hassle and no confusion.

@Bari Vule this isn’t about forcing a man to marry you. If you want to pay for some of your ring to get the ring YOU really want, then why not ? Personally I wouldn’t pay for my ring but that’s none of my business if another woman does. A pick me girl is a girl who will do anything for male approval and she might even put down other woman to make herself seem better. Paying for part of a ring to help out a man that couldn’t afford it, that already wants to marry you IS NOT a pick me.
Now how u gon ask me to marry u then make ME pay for half the ring 🙈🙈 HALEEEE NAW! Don’t propose if u can’t afford a wife. Also a real man who loves u would never be comfortable with YOU paying for the ring not even a little bit
Yeah, the guy won't propose and you can propose instead and buy the ring. A real woman who loves you will do the proposing like a real woman and buy the ring.
I think they are confusing style with price. Something can be very expensive and still be hideous. Kim Kardashian’s engagement ring from Kanye was hideous, in my opinion. However, it was like a $2M ring. That price make it beautiful.
I’m saying that’s why people raved over the ring. My opinion is that the ring was gaudy and unstylish. But I think people fawned over the ring because it was $2M.
The whole proposing and giving engagement ring goes against the equality we are advocating for in the first place. We can’t wish to be equal and always be on the receiving end of expensive gifts and never on the giving end
@@Concatenate Because every relationship is different and every couple has different needs, values etc. One couple may be happy to split everything down the middle and others lean a bit more traditional with the man being the breadwinner. Lawful gender equality has some applications in relationships to prevent abuse but can’t really dictate things like how much to spend on engagement rings and who pays for dates lol.
Are we equally sharing pregnancy and childbirth? No. So then let’s stop with this “equality” bull. Men and women have different positions in this team and that’s that. Part of his role is presenting his girl with a ring and asking for her hand. Point. Blank. And the period.
My husband and I have been together for 10 years. 1 month into our relationship we got pregnant at 17 and 18. We always worked as a team and bought each other cheap rings, because we knew we would always work together to get more and it really built our relationship as a partnership and each of us put in the work together. After 4 years he did what he said he would do and got me one that I love. Its my dream ring and he is now. Begging me to get a bigger ring and i don't want it.. we settled on a new wedding band set😍
I think it depends on the couple. My mom bought my dad his wedding ring and my dad bought her wedding ring. My dad also never technically proposed to my mom, they just talked about getting married and went to the courthouse to get married lol. Some couples don't place a big emphasis on how the ring is paid or having a big wedding.
It shouldn’t matter whose proposing. Women can also propose. What is a proposal? Your asking your loved one to marry you. It’s about love not gender. So she can’t express her love to him because she is a woman? That’s sounds dumb. don’t understand why people don’t let go of gender stereotypes. Both proposing to each other sounds fair too.
when my mom and dad got married. they borrowed a ring from there friends. got married with it and returned back the ring. and he bought her a ring when he afforded it. they have been married for 35 years. this days everything is a show.
If he's financing the ring and when you're married plan on combining financial responsibilities and income..... You're still gonna end up paying for half of the ring 🙃
Damn. 😂 My husband did finance my ring through Robbin’s Bros. He had it deducted from his account. When we got our wedding bands, we got them together and split the cost.
Let's be honest that statement ring is to dazzle your girlfriends and family. Ironic though that we women fall back on "it's tradition" when it is to our advantage but consider it non negotiable over the size and cut of a ring to decide our worth? Hoping we keep that same energy for more serious matters. I'm with Adrienne: accept and appreciate what your man can afford.
My wedding ring that my husband paid for is only 1 carat but, we he will upgrade it one day and we’ve been married 3 yrs. I understand Adrienne point of view but, I like the fact he choose & paid for my ring 💍 by himself .
Garcelle, I want your stylist. I love your hair!!! Your makeup and outfit choices. I have so many screenshots in my phone. Please style me I need help!!! No, I wouldn’t go half on a ring I want what my man could afford💛
I mean... my dude is wearing an engagement ring so... I’ll just pay for his and he’ll pay for mine. I refuse to be the only one walking around with an obvious “I’m taken” symbol.
No way!!! There are lovely affordable rings at high street stores, Amazon and Ali Express that can be upgraded later. For a man to even insist on you paying for half shows a lack of conscious effort to make the proposal special, and looks like the man is not really serious about getting married. Not making any effort to at least try to find something within his budget is just as bad as a man proposing/giving you a “shut up" ring and never marrying you. To me, it sounds like the woman who would do this is so desperate to get married that she agreed to pay half, similar to a woman proposing to the man because she can't possibly wait any longer for his proposal. Is this the state that relationships have come to nowadays? We need to do better. Ladies, please stop settling for low value men who refuse to step up and be high value, high character men that know how to love, respect, protect, cover, honour, and support you. We need to set a standard to stop these low value, dusty, lazy, non committed, wants you to die for them, low character men.
I agree with Adrienne, what she said was perfect. I've the engagement /marriage is about love then why seeking for something beyond his capability at that moment?
If you can't afford a meaningful ring for my engagement, you then can't afford marrying me. And also some of us women aren't about the price of a ring but the meaning the ring holds.
First of all let’s stop buying diamonds in general lol it’s a scam and ppl are still dying over them. Now would I go half? I’d rather not only bc I feel like it takes the whole surprise element out of it.
If you're gonna to sit there and complain about a ring that a guy buys you because it's it's not up to your "standards", then yes, you should. Someone is asking you to marry them and spends what they can on a ring, if you complain about the price then you should fork up the money for a better one. Someone shouldn't go broke trying to please you. It's not about a ring, it's about the marriage.
Should you pay for half your birthday present? It's his gift to you! He's recognizing that your being his wife is HIS honor. If he can't afford a ring, please let him feel free to get whatever he can. Cheaper does not mean ugly. I've seen ugly expensive rings.🤦🏾♀️
An engagement ring is a gift. No one pays for half of their own gift. If he can’t afford something expensive, that’s okay. There’s so many affordable options. I’d prefer the actual wedding ring to just be something durable that’ll last forever, which vise versa I’ll get him a ring that’ll do the same.
Honestly I agree with Adrienne when it comes to what matters like love etc even though I would not buy my own ring when he bought it I wouldn’t be made at the size are price as long as it was from his heart !!!!!
20+ years ago my husband proposed and it was with the ring he could afford at the time. We have since upgraded and it was because HE insisted I deserved the upgrade. I did purchase his as well. I told him if I upgrade so do you. So he has since been upgraded to not only a band but one with diamonds. Men deserve a ring of his choosing as well. To answer the question do whatever works for YOU!
For the first time I saw Loni's eyes different when she talked about marriage. She said that she would never, but James...I think it's timeee 💍💍👰🤵💐💒 She loooves you 💕💕💕💕🥰
Can’t believe this is a debate 🤣. No I’m not paying for half of my own gift tf. Get a ring that’s within your budget and I’ll be happy to wear it end of.
If a man can not afford any kind of ring, he should not step up or say that he wants to marry you. It is a peek into some arguments to come about future finances.
Men have to pay for women's engagement rings and they usually want it to be expensive. However, when women buy the men's wedding band it's usually not that expensive can we be honest?
My husband bought my ring but then it took him so long to upgrade it (Like years past our 10 yr anniversary). I bought different ones to trade out and sparkle while I waited on a newer ring. That didn't work, it hurt his confidence I think. So I started wearing the one I had although it was missing stones because I realized he could have been interpreting it differently. He bought me a new ring for Christmas! So it does matter to them even if you think you are helping them out. DON"T DO IT.
You can see their expressions in their eyes! I'm all the way with Garcelle! No. Good point Jeannie, he take all the credit for the ring when you paid for half?! No!
No way ..... im not going half on no engagement ring . If he want to marry me he will buy it no matter what the price is and we can always upgrade later
It’s an engagement ring... why the hell should she pay 😂 like I get the reasoning especially if you went ring shopping with ur partner but I don’t think it should be thought of doing cuz it’s not common and untraditional
The man is asking me to be his wife. Why should I have to pay at all? It’s his decision. Men are supposed to be providers. If he can’t even provide a ring, how will he provide for a family.
I paid for my own ring, why it did not matter and he also bought me another ring. I do not have an attachment to my rings. I have like four or five of them.
I agree with Adrienne! The ring is a gift. You don't go halves on a gift. Whoever receives a ring is usually supposed to buy their partner a ring as well.
Buy me what you can. To be “my taste” doesn’t even mean it has to be expensive. Know me well enough to get something I would wear at a price you can afford and then we can upgrade it later. I’m not paying half just to have something greater to “show off”. Let’s show off our actual love instead.
HELL NO! As an African girl (Rwandese specially🇷🇼) How are u going to pay for the dowry if u can’t pay for the ring ??? And why are u entering a marriage where u can’t even afford a ring?? What about the wedding? And where u will live afterwards??
no wth😂 an engagement ring is like a gift. do u pay half for your own Christmas gifts? or birthday gifts? no. i get that some women want a certain ring so i guess but i’m not paying half for mine
I guess if she really wants to, sure. But I don’t think she should. I think the value of the ring comes from the meaning, not the cost. If all you can afford is a $15 ring, but you are giving it to them with either much love and a commitment to stand by them forever, that’s just as valuable to me
I was thinking the same thing....Tradition. Also 2 things. #1 Tradition (man buys for the women) #2 The price. I would rather have the man but it for me vrs how much it costs
If he’s asking for the help, Yeah why not. But I am almost, a little bit, close to- 102% sure NO man would ask you to pay for half of the ring he probably want to surprise you with. He’d rather get something in his income bracket or just borrow from his friends 🤷♀️
Get me whatever you can afford, babe. I don’t want to start our marriage in debt. We’ll get a bigger one for the anniversary. Idk just an idea. If the size of the ring represented the success of the marriage then I’d care
Loni be playing James so hard. He’s eventually gonna let her ass go. I know he feels some type of way about her commentary degrading their relationship lmao I would. But who knows maybe that’s how they talk about each other.
I don't think Loni is that into James. I get the feeling that she was just tired of being alone and single and she keeps him around cause he's a really decent man.
@@fluffybear1539 She still post James on her IG. I follow all four of the ladies on IG (and still follow Tam) and yes, they are all still with their men except for Garcelle who is currently single.
If marriage is based on financial things.... I doubt it would last long and happily married.... Love is all we need, you can earn money every day and buy things later...
My husband got me a gold band from Walmart because that was all he could afford. I loved him and didn’t care. He upgraded 5 years later into our marriage and the ring is beautiful.
If you are pressuring him to marry you, then yeah you need to cough up your half. You wanna get married that damn bad , then pay ups if he is proposing on his own , then no. He CHOOSES the ring , he should know his budget and what you’ll like.
No I think that would take the meaning out of it let the guy pay I love my engagement ring 💍 and my wedding band because my husband put his heart and soul into finding my favorite rings and he nailed it.
These episodes are obviously from back in August/September before they really solidified their filming process. The quality is so low compared to newer episodes.
I agree with Jeannie. He will get and probably will take all the credit. What grown man is really going to admit to people that he split the cost for the ring with his fiance?
Would you pay for your own engagement ring?
Yes. Sure. If he can't afford. You want equality between men and woman if it benefits the woman, but want gender role if it will burden them. Your host are some of the most hypocrite people out there. Stupid feminism only wants selective equality. Disgusting.
Uh no. Some things need to stay the same. Just go simple. In time on the 5th anniversary or later when financially stable we could always upgrade the ring.

We need to do better. Ladies, please stop settling for low value men who refuse to step up and be high value, high character men that know how to love, respect, protect, cover, honour, and support you.
We need to set a standard to stop these low value, dusty, lazy, non committed, wants you to die for them, low character men.
The question is about the woman offering, not the man insisting.
thank god for Jeannie and Garcelle in this one! They were keeping it REAL!
Just because Adrienne has a different opinion does not mean she was not keeping it real. What she said at 4:40 was everything.
I agree with Adrienne, what she said was perfect.
I've the engagement /marriage is about love then why seeking for something beyond his capability at that moment?
All of the ladies are right😊 different perspectives, lovely and funny conversation.
If you can't afford a meaningful ring for my engagement, you then can't afford marrying me. And also some of us women aren't about the price of a ring but the meaning the ring holds.
OMG, JEANNIE LOOKS SO FAB! This is one of her best looks ever.
Chica got her mouth on the floor 🤣🤣
First of all let’s stop buying diamonds in general lol it’s a scam and ppl are still dying over them. Now would I go half? I’d rather not only bc I feel like it takes the whole surprise element out of it.
A woman should only pay for the groom’s wedding band.
I didn’t care if my husband gave me $0.5 ring or $$$.
If you're gonna to sit there and complain about a ring that a guy buys you because it's it's not up to your "standards", then yes, you should. Someone is asking you to marry them and spends what they can on a ring, if you complain about the price then you should fork up the money for a better one. Someone shouldn't go broke trying to please you. It's not about a ring, it's about the marriage.
Should you pay for half your birthday present?
It's his gift to you! He's recognizing that your being his wife is HIS honor.
If he can't afford a ring, please let him feel free to get whatever he can.
Cheaper does not mean ugly. I've seen ugly expensive rings.🤦🏾♀️
An engagement ring is a gift. No one pays for half of their own gift. If he can’t afford something expensive, that’s okay. There’s so many affordable options. I’d prefer the actual wedding ring to just be something durable that’ll last forever, which vise versa I’ll get him a ring that’ll do the same.
Honestly I agree with Adrienne when it comes to what matters like love etc even though I would not buy my own ring when he bought it I wouldn’t be made at the size are price as long as it was from his heart !!!!!
I agree. I’ll accept whatever he can afford to get me. But I say at least know my style of ring.
Jeannie is concerned about what other people will think, which is ridiculous.
20+ years ago my husband proposed and it was with the ring he could afford at the time. We have since upgraded and it was because HE insisted I deserved the upgrade. I did purchase his as well. I told him if I upgrade so do you. So he has since been upgraded to not only a band but one with diamonds. Men deserve a ring of his choosing as well. To answer the question do whatever works for YOU!
Well said! #facts
Loni looks beautiful!
Love the colors! 🙌🏿👑🙌🏿
Absolutely not. If I am paying for my own ring he is not ready to be married.
Right
Jeannie looks good in peach!! 👌
Adrienne's hair and makeup is beautiful 🥰
For the first time I saw Loni's eyes different when she talked about marriage. She said that she would never, but James...I think it's timeee 💍💍👰🤵💐💒 She loooves you 💕💕💕💕🥰
Hell to no no no no no no no no.... garcelle is right!!!🤔😬
It’s ok Jeannie I didn’t believe that either 😂
Those colors look so good on Jeannies skin
No it’s not okay!! WTH!
Can’t believe this is a debate 🤣. No I’m not paying for half of my own gift tf. Get a ring that’s within your budget and I’ll be happy to wear it end of.
If a man can not afford any kind of ring, he should not step up or say that he wants to marry you. It is a peek into some arguments to come about future finances.
Men have to pay for women's engagement rings and they usually want it to be expensive. However, when women buy the men's wedding band it's usually not that expensive can we be honest?
Wedding bands are simpler.
My husband bought my ring but then it took him so long to upgrade it (Like years past our 10 yr anniversary). I bought different ones to trade out and sparkle while I waited on a newer ring. That didn't work, it hurt his confidence I think. So I started wearing the one I had although it was missing stones because I realized he could have been interpreting it differently. He bought me a new ring for Christmas! So it does matter to them even if you think you are helping them out. DON"T DO IT.
You can see their expressions in their eyes! I'm all the way with Garcelle! No. Good point Jeannie, he take all the credit for the ring when you paid for half?! No!
No way ..... im not going half on no engagement ring . If he want to marry me he will buy it no matter what the price is and we can always upgrade later
It’s an engagement ring... why the hell should she pay 😂 like I get the reasoning especially if you went ring shopping with ur partner but I don’t think it should be thought of doing cuz it’s not common and untraditional
As a woman I will NOT be going half on my ring. If he can’t afford a ring on his own he isn’t the man for me and we shouldn’t be getting married.
“I love you but I don’t believe you” lmfaooooo
I loved this girl chat! I felt the chemistry between them like they were back to the studio!
I have tried watching (really tried) other talk shows and this is just a great blend of people
I would not contribute to paying for my engagement ring. It doesn't have to be big or expensive but it must be decent
Y'all get the rubber bands rings till he can afford the ring you want.
The man is asking me to be his wife. Why should I have to pay at all? It’s his decision. Men are supposed to be providers. If he can’t even provide a ring, how will he provide for a family.
Adrienne's face 😂😂😂😂
I'M WITH GARCELLE.I AIN'T BUYING NO RING.HE BUYIN IT!!
3:30 LMAO Adrienne's face when Jeanine Said "ILY but I don't believe you"
Lmao 😂 😂😂😂
I paid for my own ring, why it did not matter and he also bought me another ring. I do not have an attachment to my rings. I have like four or five of them.
I agree with Adrienne! The ring is a gift. You don't go halves on a gift. Whoever receives a ring is usually supposed to buy their partner a ring as well.
Buy me what you can. To be “my taste” doesn’t even mean it has to be expensive. Know me well enough to get something I would wear at a price you can afford and then we can upgrade it later. I’m not paying half just to have something greater to “show off”. Let’s show off our actual love instead.
HELL NO! As an African girl (Rwandese specially🇷🇼) How are u going to pay for the dowry if u can’t pay for the ring ??? And why are u entering a marriage where u can’t even afford a ring?? What about the wedding? And where u will live afterwards??
no wth😂 an engagement ring is like a gift. do u pay half for your own Christmas gifts? or birthday gifts? no. i get that some women want a certain ring so i guess but i’m not paying half for mine
Everyone is looking so good but JESUS!! Jeannie looking gorge!!!!
No woman should buy her own engagement ring period.
I guess if she really wants to, sure. But I don’t think she should. I think the value of the ring comes from the meaning, not the cost. If all you can afford is a $15 ring, but you are giving it to them with either much love and a commitment to stand by them forever, that’s just as valuable to me
If they can't afford a ring how can they afford a family?
No the man should pay for the ring himself
what happened to wanting equality 🤔
Women don’t want equality if the gender role benefits them
I was thinking the same thing....Tradition. Also 2 things. #1 Tradition (man buys for the women) #2 The price. I would rather have the man but it for me vrs how much it costs
If he’s asking for the help, Yeah why not. But I am almost, a little bit, close to- 102% sure NO man would ask you to pay for half of the ring he probably want to surprise you with.
He’d rather get something in his income bracket or just borrow from his friends 🤷♀️
Get me whatever you can afford, babe. I don’t want to start our marriage in debt. We’ll get a bigger one for the anniversary. Idk just an idea. If the size of the ring represented the success of the marriage then I’d care
Loni be playing James so hard. He’s eventually gonna let her ass go. I know he feels some type of way about her commentary degrading their relationship lmao I would. But who knows maybe that’s how they talk about each other.
I don't think Loni is that into James. I get the feeling that she was just tired of being alone and single and she keeps him around cause he's a really decent man.
When she mentioned James, I legit said “she still with him?” Cause I forgot 😂, I stopped watching The Real about a year ago
@@fluffybear1539 She still post James on her IG. I follow all four of the ladies on IG (and still follow Tam) and yes, they are all still with their men except for Garcelle who is currently single.
I don’t think it’s that serious, she’s just posting around. She really does love him and she’s expressed that many times on the show.
@@britbritnicole Exactly. It’s been what, three years? They seem like the kinda couple that have fun and make each other laugh.
If marriage is based on financial things.... I doubt it would last long and happily married.... Love is all we need, you can earn money every day and buy things later...
Adrienne made my day withthat wide open mouth! Kwaaaaaaa😂😂😂😂😂😂
My husband got me a gold band from Walmart because that was all he could afford. I loved him and didn’t care. He upgraded 5 years later into our marriage and the ring is beautiful.
If you are pressuring him to marry you, then yeah you need to cough up your half. You wanna get married that damn bad , then pay ups if he is proposing on his own , then no. He CHOOSES the ring , he should know his budget and what you’ll like.
No I think that would take the meaning out of it let the guy pay
I love my engagement ring 💍 and my wedding band because my husband put his heart and soul into finding my favorite rings and he nailed it.
Can’t he just buy a ring he can AFFORD
These episodes are obviously from back in August/September before they really solidified their filming process. The quality is so low compared to newer episodes.
I agree with Jeannie. He will get and probably will take all the credit. What grown man is really going to admit to people that he split the cost for the ring with his fiance?
Hello moissanite is better and affordable and has way more fire than any diamond. I love my moissanite engagement ring
