So who buys the ring?

Instead of designing the new PCB board for the Hitachi Knee coil this morning I started out the day by reading some Gainesville Sun. For some reason I dread this source of information. Maybe I just see Gainesville as a small town and that there is nothing really to report about and whatever the papers report are just stories of no important. But beside that I read a particular article asking a very intersting question:

So if the woman propose, who buys the ring?

To answer this question I went on a quest asking the "wise" and the elder co-workers.

Name: Mike
Status: Marry with kids
Relationship: My Boss

"?"

Name: Hillary
Status: Dating a guy from Texas, long distance
Relationship: colleague

"The woman propose?! That is just pathetic."

Name: Dale
Status: Divorce, no kids
Relationship: Tech for Research and Development

"The richer of the two."

Name: Teresa
Status: Divorce, three daughters and still sane
Relationship: colleague

"I am not much of a bink bink girl. I mean why spend money on something like that? I rather have the money spend on a down payment on a house or some great furinture or an awesome bed to get busy on!"

For the traditionalist and convservative in this "modern age" what should be the respones to this?

That's why the guy proposes, so we don't have to ponder these difficult questions. :)

Yin, meet Hint. Hint, this is Yin.
