Have any of you heard of Engagement 101? I just happened upon the Engagement 101 blog the other day, and from there I learned of the actual magazine. That’s right — there’s an entire print mag for the pre-engaged. What’s the content like?
Engagement101Mag.Com provides soon-to-be wed couples with everything they need to know before the question is popped. From romance and proposal advice, to ring and diamond buying tips, to reception and fashion guides. The site features thousands of rings for every taste and budget, forums, Q & A’s, news, trends, useful articles on all related topics, and unique interactive content.
Now it seems to me based on the color of the sample covers and the content I’ve seen thus far that Engagement 101 is a magazine for women, not men. Yet the fact remains that more men pop the question than women. In fact, a Knot survey revealed that a whopping 90% of women say they do not want to be in any way involved in their partners’ proposals and a mere 4% dismissed the surprise factor as being unimportant. In other words, most women don’t even want to know the wheres and whens of a future proposal! (That said, a survey conducted by Korbel Champagne found that more than half of respondents think women should step up to the plate when it comes to proposing marriage.)
So tell me, would a dude really subscribe to Engagement 101, or is this just another way to drum it into chicks’ heads that its the four Cs down on one knee or nothing?
