Why do girls want diamonds?

My previous question asked what girls want. The main answers (besides love, respect, etc) were diamonds and chocolate! What is the big attraction with diamonds? It can't be monetary value, or they'd just ask for cash. It can't be for pertiness or they'd ask for flowers. It can't be for symbolic everlasting love or they'd ask for a house in the country.

I give up! WHY DO GIRLS LOVE DIAMONDS?

    I think that girls would love to have diamonds to show off to their friends. It seems that most girls in this world really want to make their friends jealous.

    I personally do not want diamonds. I just want a man who will treat me right. When all they have is diamonds and either no man or a man who cheats on them, I'll be the one they are jealous of anyway.

    My answer to your question is taken from a song

    "(Diamonds are a girl's best friend)"

    The French were bred to die for love

    they delight in fighting duels

    but I prefer a man who lives

    and gives expensive jewels.

    A kiss on the hand may be quite continental

    but diamonds are a girl's best friend.

    A kiss may be grand but it won't pay the rental

    on your humble flat, or help you at the automat.

    Men grow cold as girls grow old

    and we all lose our charms in the end.

    But square-cut or pear-shaped

    these rocks don't lose their shape

    Diamonds are a girl's best friend

    ...Tiffany's ... Cartier...

    Talk to me, Harry, Winston,tell me all about it!

    There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer

    but diamonds are a girl's best friend.

    There may come a time when a hard-boiled employer

    thinks you're awful nice

    but get that ice or else no dice.

    He's your guy when stocks are high

    but beware when they start to descend,

    It's then that those louses go back to their spouses

    Diamonds are a girl's best friend.

    I've heard of affairs that are strictly platonic

    but diamonds are a girl's best friend,

    and I think affairs that you must keep liaisonic

    are better bets if little pets get big bag gifts.

    Time rolls on and youth is gone

    and you can't straighten up when you bend

    but stiff back or stiff knees

    you stand straight at Tiffany's

    Diamonds... Diamonds...

    - I don't mean rock salt -

    but Diamonds, Are A Girl's Best Friends

    BC diamonds are a girls best friend. OK well they last forever they look pretty they are shinny and colorful. Honestly i have never thought of that. This is a great question personally i like diamonds but now I'm wondering why i do? maybe its just something about the fact that girls get diamonds most of the time from their boyfriends maybe it just reminds of marriage & love

    sometimes girls buy diamonds for themselves... why? they're pretty. People have been wearing jewelry since the beginning of time. If diamonds come from someone else, not only are they pretty, but they're expensive and from another, which shows how much theyre valued by another person. Women like to be valued...and they like to feel beautiful and loved.

    Then they can show off to their friends and it makes them feel good about themselves...sometimes the shallow one's just like to show they have money or have some one who cares for them with money... something pretty to show off and be coveted. Some because it shows how much someone loves them, and it's pretty.... but probably in one way or another it's often a combination of the sentiments (we're all human).

    For me, the gemstone of choice wouls be Sapphire or Garnet.

    I think Diamonds are very cold-looking stones.

    I think some girls see a Diamond as a status symbol. They think the bigger & more expensive the diamond, the more they are loved. Total rubbish of course.

    God has made girls/women so delicate & soft that anything what they use to look good starts becomming their weekness.

    They look good in diamonds & also diamonds are a status symbol too.So they love diamonds cos they look good in it & they can leave an impression on other females too .

    So keep presenting Diamonds to your Girl friend along with your pure love

    I don't like Jewelry. The only jewelry I wear is my crucifix necklace and I wouldn't want that to be diamonds. I guess I am a strange girl, but I would rather have anything than jewelry. My Grandmother wants to give all her Grand daughters nice rings when she dies and I asked her what else she had because I don't want a ring. when I was married all I had was a gold band and that was all I wanted.

    We Grow Old and Men Grow Cold, But Diamonds are Forever. and we figure if youre gonna shell out that much money on a rock for us, you must be planning to stick around a while with your investment. HAHA! but seriously i think that has a lot to do with it.

    It is so ICY, So FLASHY, so PRETTY in the light. And you know girls like pretty things. I still like pretty things as a woman. We want to show off to our friends look what he gave me. The only reason women like marriage is to have that BIG ROCK on their finger........shows status.

    Thats simple, they are pretty, they sparkle, you can look at it and never get tired of it, and of course they are expensive.
