Unless someone's seen a study on this, neither of you is more right than the other.

Some will hear nothing more than 'not a diamond', and some will say 'you wasted how much'.

What're you going to do, if you're even thinking about it you're obviously set on her, so it only matters how she feels about them to the extent that you know!

Well, if one person makes a blanket statement about all individuals in a group, and the other disproves that with a single individual to which the statement does not apply, one of them clearly is more right than the other.

Ok he should have said "many" or "most" : does it change the underlying face behind his statement ?

I don't have any statistics, but it seems obvious the group of women desiring diamonds is bigger (to say the least) than the group of women not interested by them.

Without generalization there can be no reasoning, because you can always find outliers that disprove any claim.

So no, (1) you don't have any data, to even say "most" women do, and (2) that's not what the guy I replied to said, he said "all" women.
