Well, not all rings are those "platinum 5 carat OMG he spent 8 months salary on it!!!!!!!!!!!"... my husband has a tungsten-carbide wedding band that I find very sexy on him, and it's pretty plain. I bought it for him because he liked it, not because he was forced to wear it. It means something to the two of us.
He also got me rings that I picked out AFTER we got engaged (he asked me, with a $13 Target ring that rocked), and I have never brought up the topic of my rings with anyone... but you wouldn't believe how many women AND men will make some comment or ask about it, how much it cost, etc. People will just grab my hand and start cooing or asking questions, and I'm like... get away from me!
So yes, I agree that I dislike other people's *attitudes* about rings, but that doesn't make me hateful and bitter about all rings as a result. They are nice, meaningful things for a lot of people.
