We said fuck diamonds entirely, even lab grown, and even had to go out of our way to find something that didnt have diamonds on it somehow

Fucking noice, dude. ๐Ÿ‘ Honestly, yeah, why even diamonds. They brainwashed us good.

Women love diamonds for their wide range of industrial applications.

Mostly because they dont get scratched. Theyre pretty neat. Not blood diamonds though, those are a crime against humanity.

I got us bare tungsten carbide bands. If "Diamonds are forever", then tungsten carbide is 9.5/10ths of forever, and it's the whole band instead of just a small easily-detachable part of it. More practically, it won't get beat to hell like the white gold ring from my first marriage. Plus, if I ever need a really strong connector for jury-rigging something, I'm now carrying one with me at all times!

Tc won't scratch, but it is brittle though.

So are diamonds, but hey - don't pollute my symbol with your facts! As far as romance is concerned, hardness == durability, end of story :P
