it isnt...many have used this as their ammo to please not just their better halves,but also mum, friends and sisters...
the thing is...its not about whats given,its about whether its meant.
th one difference that i have noted with boys and girls is that girls give far too much thought on what to get for the boy,we talk to our friends weeks before,get the suggestions,weigh the pro's and con's of each on whether he will like it, whether its a fun or useful or memorabilia kind of gift..most of the time we'll try to make sure the gift has all the qualities required =p
the absolute mind boggling part is we actually get pleasure from doing all this...
on the other hand,all the dude does is...goes to a fancy shop and spots something with a (un)reasonable price tags,asks the girl at the cashier to pick out the wrapping paper and wrap it...
most of the time,we (girls) are absolutely overjoyed with the thought and the affection and not to mention the price tag the item carries...some of us may associate the price tag with the intensity of affection..
but on a couple of occasions i have noticed the detachment dudes have over them & that got me quite hurt and sad...
wonder if its just me...oh well...nevermind..
i agree with you...its not the price, its the thought...i have helped too many men with their "last minute" purchases...its pains me to see their lack of imagination...
