It depends on how she approaches it. I would guess a ring is a visible symbol that she's married and is something that she has always dreams of for herself. Perhaps she could suggest that she pays for the ring herself, or that they choose one that is not so expensive. Just because he did one very generous thing, shouldn't mean she doesn't get to wear a ring. I suspect a bit that you're not looking for a serious answer and you just want a "women just want money" responses though. |

None of the above.
He's cheap. He wants to marry her, her debt comes with her. He knows this and is merely trying to avoid buying a ring. |

So he asked her to marry him and hands her a receipt for a debt he paid off. I wonder what he would have done if she said no?
As for an answer to your question I really wouldn't know. Does it mean she has to be eternally grateful that he paid off this debt. Is it constantly going to be thrown in her face how he did that.
Is she someone who values possessions more than anything and wants a ring because of that or is it she wants a ring because of what it symbolises.
If it was me the ring would be irrelevant if I'm honest it would be how much I care about ths person would matter. Not getting a ring really wouldn't be an issue. Someone paying off a debt as a surprise that would be a bigger issue for me. |

Ask not is the glass half full, or half empty ... but what's in the glass.
Ie... the loan was for 70k, but how much of it was left to pay?  |

If you have a spare 70k to pay off someones loan you can manage another 5-10(I have no fucking clue how much an engagement ring costs) to make that moment feel like what everybody imagines it to be.
I could be going very cliché here but no girl runs into work on a Monday to show her friends the shiney paid in full receipt for her engagement. |

Have to agree with most of this. Paying off her debt without prior discussion is weird and somewhat proprietorial to me.
As for engagement rings, I personally don't see the point, didn't have one when I got engaged to my ex. For me a relationship is about mutual commitment, not having a rock to flash around. |

Hmmmm this triggers alarm bells for me. He sounds possessive and controlling. He hasn't communicated with her about anything. This is not a good sign if they are going to be in each others lives for some time to come. Where's the team work? A ring can be important to some girls. Especially if they have built up a picture around their engagement. Some alarm bells with her as well for accepting the loan repayment and only focusing on the ring.
but that said we only have a glimpse of the overall picture. We know nothing about these two people. Chemistry, previous chats, fears, experiences.
I hope that they will be very happy  |

She should run a mile.
By paying her debt and not buying a ring he's saying to her that because he's rich there are certain obligations he doesn't have to fulfill, and she should be happy to go along with it.
He's all about the power. |

I think if he is able to pay a substantial debt to help the person he loves then he is a very generous and caring person.
If however he paid it to coerce her into marrying him then he's only fooling himself. |

Traditional maybe.
Depends on the motive. Is paying the debt him saying "I love you, you are free of debt, You can do what you like but I'd like to have you as my wife." OR "I paid off your debts, I own you now!" |
