A Dating question: should women spend as much money on presents as men do? (Page 3)

[anon1903]

Yes. If the men isn't unfamiliar with working in the kitchen. Equal rights equal struggles.

[AviatorTom]

No, women should spend more on presents... they have much more selective taste.

[kinggeorge007]

I'm not a presents guy. I cringe at them. But presenting something that is useful to the other person is always a nice touch.

Little tiny gifts here and there. But I dont want to start buying big gifts. I want relationship , not ownership. Experiences over materialism. But in the end fair is fair.

[Guanfei]

Only if they earn equally. I don't really care about the price of a gift, and in fact I'd prefer a handmade gift that you put your heart into than an expensive one that you feel forced to buy.

I AM the present... The fact he gets to do the things he couldn't get other girls to do... Trust me, some of those things do NOT feel good on the receiving end.

[Anonymous]

in my opinion, in a relationship is not about the money, but about the gift itself, what it represents.

[exitseven]

Lets face it, guys always have to buy the expensive gifts. Fathers Day is usually a non holiday.

[SiberFox]

I don't like the options given... but nothing is ever equal in a relationship nor should it be.

[Anonymous]

I could overwhelm most men with what I could afford compared to them, so most gifts I buy are $100 and leave it at that.

[clampfan101]

It can vary, but for the most part yes. The point is being appreciative and as fair as possible, not necessarily the raw numbers.

[Adronicus]

The best present a woman can give me is her TRUE heart. Other than that tools is a distant second.

[ArtemisSilver]

If you're going to buy someone a present then do it right regardless of gender.

[ArtemisSilver]

That said I grew up in a bad home where I wasn't given presents. So I often forget birthdays and such.

[Massageman]

Whatever they want to do. It might be practical if the couple agrees on a limit.

[nisnaia]

In a relationship you're equal but yea if one person earns more they can also spend more on gifts.

[TwoToTooTutu2]

No, I want to feel like a provider. What even would be the point of men anyway?

[Anonymous]

I'm pretty sure most guys would prefer things other than monetary gifts from the girls they're dating. I know I personally would prefer that.

[Opinion Owner]

@update: No it should NOT apply to men too. We're not interested in material gifts. Try an exceptionally good blow job instead. I guarantee you 90% of dudes would much rather get that for their birthday, Christmas, your anniversary, Flag Day, Tuesday, or whenever.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Nope. Gifts are for kids. Adults can buy their own stuff.

[Joker_]

On average, don't women spend more money on gifts than men?

[Joker_]

all women do is shop and eat mcdonald

[cloud9vortex1234]

I don't even think the question should come to mind.
