Diamonds and Dogs

Who decided diamonds were a girl's best friend?  And why is it that a dog is man's best friend? 

Yeah, I love diamonds just as much as the next girl, but I would rather have a dog as my bff.  I know we girls love our diamonds, but I think it's unfair to say that a diamond is our best friend.  I mean, what does that equate women as a whole to?  Your best friend is someone that knows everything about you, loves you for you, gets along with you, and probably has a lot in common with you.  

So, let's see...if a diamond is a woman's best friend, that means women must be harsh, transparent, require a lot of attention, and are expensive.  I don't really like that comparison.

Men are so lucky.  A dog is their best friend?  Their best friend reflects their loyalty, unconditional love, comfort and affection?  

C'mon, people!!  This is ridiculous and I frankly don't like it.

So, from now on, diamonds can be any girl's best friend, but I am not just any girl.  I am a girl whose girlfriend from college is a diamond, but whose childhood best friend is a dog.  

If y'all need further explanation, reference above paragraphs.
