What sort of "gifts" do you guys really appreciate?

I'm sure I'll have no clue what goes on in here, but really, it's so the guys don't bitch, and hey, we have to support the men who wanna be creative and crafty now, don't we?

What sort of "gifts" do you guys really appreciate?

Postby ComradeM on Thu Jan 15, 2009 11:47 pm

I feel like my boyfriend and I are on opposite scedules with work and sleep and etc etc(we live together but sometimes only see eachother briefly each day as our paths cross)...sometimes I want to do some sort of little gesture that says "I was thinking about you" or something less corny. Just like a little something I can leave in his car, or on the bathroom sink before I go to work.

Be it storebought, handmade, etc, whats a little gesture or gift that you can really appreciate and not just think is corny or lame?

I hope that made some sort of sense...

I know you are asking a guys advice.. but one thing you could do is leave little notes for him, in the bathroom, kitchen, car, etc.

sweet, simple notes. or even ones that say "your sexy!" or "i love you". that's just a thought.. I do that with my boyfriend every once in a while and he loves it!

hahahaha I think this statement sums up a lot about guys and girls.....
"Is one more than a threesom a foursome or just an orgy?"
"I think it's just an orgy"
"Oh, well can I get a birthday orgy?!?"

Basically.



I thought of another one. Mix tapes... of songs you both really enjoy.


It has to be a mix tape. burnt cd's are boring.

Most guys are really pretty simple. Most guys are visual. Ergo, most guys get the hint if they see pix. Girls are rarely visual in the same way. Think about fantasies. Ask a girl what her fantasy is, and most likely it's going to be a complex series of paragraphs. Ask a guy, and it'll be two sentences, one of which will be punctuated by laughter, and the other will be filthy.
Pretty straightforward, really.

Word.

Weighing in from the girl perspective, I don't even have to do anything particularly naughty to get a reaction. Point in case, my guy was psyched that I did my hair and make up and took pics for him, he gets that I don't do my face everyday so he was excited I had put in the effort.

Oh and we're distance so my boy will hide poloroids of himself he takes around my house. I'll find them under things or in books and stuff, it makes me pretty swoony.

I guess I didn't put in enough qualifiers. Most, rarely, words like that are designed to say that there are exceptions.
Also, I am not saying that girls "complicate" anything, nor that girls necessarily prefer text to photos. I'm saying that a lot of girls prefer very specific conditions and a lot of girls are more verbal than visual. Get the idea?
So, if you prefer pix, and if that speaks louder to you than all the pretty words, great. But, yes, that is a little unusual. Not bad, wrong or whatever, just unusual.
