Yes, roses, chocolate, and a teddy bear. I have never received any of those three from a guy.

Oh no, that will never do.

Girl, from now on ask these men straight out, how in the past they've made a girl feel special. If they don't tell you what you want to hear, leave um in the dust.

Yeah, like we won't lie about that s*** too.

I'm not all that fond of giving roses, I always figured that it was kind of cliche and done to death. How bout a kitkat bar,some ragweed, and a GI Joe good enough?

Are you fond of being alone? Cuz that's what a kitkat bar, some ragweed, and a GI Joe will get you.

I am with Dreamer on this one.......

I don't have that much of a problem with being alone or with friends or with girls. Why do I have to buy a girl nice things to be with me, shouldn't she like me for me? I never complain about anything a girl gives me unless it's an STD.

Honestly though, I've told girls not to get me anything for my birthday or christmas just spend some time with me. I would show appreciation if they did get me something, but if they didn't, I didn't care. I wouldn't want to date a girl who put so much stock in material things, I've dated a girl who expected me to pay for everything, would complain that I cooked for her rather than take her out, I'm done with that BS.

I started a topic asking guys what kinds of things they do special for their woman. The general consensus is,
men pretty much think that women need to just like them for who they are. Wow.

If women felt that way, they wouldn't bother putting on makeup, taking baths, polishing their finger and toe nails, getting their hair done, buying nice clothes, and a whole bunch of other things we do to look nice.

Wow, no wonder they say women dress for other women, cuz some men could care a less.

Really? I take a bath cause i don't want to be gross, I tend not to like makeup on women especially when I'm dating them cause I don't want to kiss her and taste lipstick or blush. men who want to attract women also take care of their hair, trim their fingers and toe nails (I don't want ingrown nails either), buy nice clothes and get haircuts. The girls I've dated have not worn a lot of makeup nor did they have really nice clothes nor did I expect them to buy me things. I liked them for their natural looks, and personality.

Most men don't care how a women dresses, a sexy girl in sweats and a hoodie (I love that look by the way) is still sexy.

Women tend to notice things like shoes, fashion, well done nails, trendy hairstyles, watches, men tend to focus more on bodies butts, breasts, physical appeal, which begs the question why are we thought of as the superficial ones?

uhhhhhhhhhh ok but where is my present???

I dont think a girl should need to get dressed up for a guy. I think she should do it, because she wants to do it. And guys shouldnt buy girls gifts because its whats expected of them to do.

The guy should be buying her gifts because he WANTS to buy her gifts, not because she wants them. But because he loves her, and wants to show her affection and give her a token of his appreciation of her.

Not everyone feels this way, but i guess not everyone has found the girl that they felt that way about.

I can't believe the discussions that go on in these forums. They are really childish. For those of you who have never found love I can tell you now it exists deep in the heart. If you get past the material things you may have a chance. I have seen the end of the rainbow and I want to see it again. Gifts, presents mean absolutely nothing if you can't share with one another. I have received 3 dozen roses, candy and the teddy bear. I loved it. I refused to accept any further things unless we really hit it off. Men like to be treated special as well, so that is why the attitude comes out.

Listen to Mother Cuppy ova there. She knows all about love and material things, not to mention how immature we all are compared to her.

I will take that as a compliment. Motherhood is the most precious thing a women can experience. It is unfortunate that you look at the glass as being half empty instead of half full. Do you feel threatened by real common sense or logic. I will say a little prayer for Angelsing asking god to help her find her way.

God Bless.......................

I will take a Christmas hug. And maybe a cookie.

Hold up there Mama. Where in the world did you get that idea.

My issues here are about men who do very little for women. I'm not talking about spending thousands of dollars buying lavish gifts. I'm talking about the little things that mean something to a woman. So pray for clarity while your at it.

Does it have to be something that is bought? I'd like a poem from your heart...that means so much more

Poems are very sweet and what I call custom made gifts.

If that's your issue then take it up with the men who do very little for women and stop lumping us all together. You wouldn't like it if I lumped all women together as gold diggers just cause I have an ex who used to expect me to pay for everything even though she had a good job and was making more than I was.

I'm more partial to thoughtful gifts than buying roses or chocolate. It's been done to death and shows little thought or originality other than wow I can go to a florist and CVS and plunck down some cash. Isn't the effort more meaningful? What about growing a flower for her, it might not be as beautiful as a professionally grown flower but it shows you thought about her enough to learn how to grow a certain flower and went through the trouble of watering it each day.

My favorite gifts are the small ones, like slipping a note that simply says "thinking of you" into her notebook so that when she's in class and opens her notebook she sees it.

fruitcake anyone?
