Goddamn it-. I didn’t even think about this. And to further your point, it’s mostly only women in hetro relationships that get promise rings. While he’s bare.

But isn’t the point that the dude gives the girl a nice ring as a symbol of his pledge to marry her? Would the dude also buy himself a ring? Would the girl have to know about the engagement ahead of time to get him a ring? The former kind of messes up the principle

Yes but also it’s not shown physically like it is on a women. To society he’s still a “free man”. They could go pick one out for him together after.

Yah I totally understand your thought process. When I get engaged I’m totally down to wear a symbol of my pledge. I just think it makes sense why the system is currently is set up the way it is.

There’s no winning. Complain when you get them a ring, complain when you don’t. As a wise machine once said “The only way to win, is not to play.”
