That is kind of odd. Completely mystifies me, too. About the only thing I can think of is either a huge concern about the ecological and social issues surrounding diamonds, since my understanding of Gen Y (Glamour's demographic) is that they're more traditionalist than Gen X. Surely there are some people who are practical and would rather put the ring expense into a house--but I still bet most women don't feel properly engaged without a ring. Could be that Glamour's readers are so young and far away from engagement? Or they're simply not planning to get married, period?

I to have started to notice this effect … however it seems to be more related to disdain for diamonds (and “the diamond monopoly”) than for the engagement ring as in all but 1 case (3 out of 4) the couple settled on an alternative stone rather than diamond ... note in all these cases the (to be) bride would not have diamonds in the wedding ring either

There seems to be (at least locally) a start of a trend away from diamonds that is not related to the cost factor as nice colored stones were selected as alternatives. Whether this is merely a fad remains to be seen.

What Men Are involved to order Cialis ?

In 2005, the executives at the Cialis offices came up with a new marketing idea. They decided to send out requests for men willing to try online pharmacy with order cialis, and to then respond to a survey. They wanted to reach men who might not already have used order cialis. They decided to send letters to many in many of the less-developed countries. When the executives first saw the responses come pouring into the company's main office, they felt excited, and convinced that they had made a wise move. Then as those same executives began to study closely each response, they seemed to suffer a loss of confidence in their marketing expertise. From Russia the executives in the Cialis offices got more than one picture of a ragged-looking sailor. His hair hung limp and long at the sides of his head. He had a long mustache on an hairy face. He did not meet the usual Western standards, standards used to designate a man or woman as "attractive." The executives in the Cialis' offices were confused. They had doubts about the chances for men such as those who had responded from Russia to have an chance to test the effectiveness of any ED pill.

The Cialis executives could not envision any woman climbing into bed with one of those Russian sailors. Then, just after the executives had begun to plan how to "relieve" those Russian sailors of their commitment to the planned survey completion, an open book changed their minds. A learner of one executive was attending a cooperation college. A high school student, that attendee of community college classes hoped to speed-up her education by taking those advanced courses. One night that high school female was studying the text from her health class. It was a book written by Dianne Hales. The female high school student had opened the book to a page with pictures of men and women from various cultures. One man strongly resembled the Russian sailors who had sent letter to the Cialis executives.

According to the information provided by Ms. Hales, people in different cultures hold assorted ideas about what makes a man or woman "attractive." Further information on the same page of Hales' text implied that the Russian sailor looked "attractive" to many Russian women. The executive and father spoke with his daughter about her text. Finding that she had finished studying that text, and had moved on to the assigned work from another class, the executive and father asked agreement to make a copy of the page that he had been reading. The executive and father found his daughter quite pleased to be of help to her father. He took her textbook and hurried over to the nearest copy store. He made several copies, so that he could share his information with several other executives. The next day all of the tope executives at the company that makes Cialis studied the picture of the supposedly "attractive" Russian sailor. Those executives agreed to move ahead with the original plan-the plan to have men living in various parts of the world test the ED pills to order cialis online.
