Engagement rings are symbols for status games & class signaling

The ring is a site of social competition for both men and women

A happy Easter and 4/20 to you, dear reader.

Announcements:

1. Join me for the first ever subscriber hangout tomorrow at 7ET/4PT. Come with questions or topics for discussion. I will do this regularly and still working out the format.

2. I will be following up on reader comments from previous posts in a monthly one. This will eventually be for paid subscribers; you can upgrade here. The idea is to give the most engaged readers more attention because I’m fortunate to have such a thoughtful audience.
