By manhood fading away - 25/12/2016 20:24 - United Kingdom - Heckmondwike

Today, because it was our first Christmas as a couple, I was careful to get my girlfriend what I considered to be a very thoughtful gift. She opened it, took one look at it, made a face like I'd just kicked a puppy, and told me that in future it would be better if I just gave her money so she could buy her own presents. FML

Wow that is super harsh (but at least she's being honest), but still, FYL...

Wow, that's just mean. If she can't even appreciate the effort, then tell her she won't get a present before she adjusts her attitude and appreciate what you do for her. If she can't do that, then dump her. She is obviously incredibly spoiled and self centered.

what a bitch. you picked a real winner there.

Your manhood is only fading away because you let it. She sounds awful. Telling you she doesn't like a specific gift is one thing, but showing you contempt is another. Don't give her another chance to make you feel small - get out now.

If she is this picky now dump her before Valentines Day, the day before mwahahaha

a little help for future bro, jewelry... thats how you win her over. get her a necklace you know she will love next year. dunno what you bought her but better luck next time. when your in gf stages always buy nice things and first few years of marriage after that all you need is random shit she may love by then it would be easy. lmao. although another thing to try is buying tv shows or movies she loves be sure that through the years to enjoy movies and shows with her no matter how boring they will be it will help the more time you spend together the easier it will be to find her interests, if she likes paintings, maybe sculptures, action figures, etc. etc. etc. it will all become more clear as you move on. gl. then again this coming from a random romantic who has no luck with the ladies lmao.

The point of exchanging gifts is to show that you care about someone. You can get someone a great gift that doesn't even cost money. Simply giving her money to get her own gifts is totally impersonal and serves very little purpose, unless she has no money of her own. If her attitude is that you should just let her do it if your first attempt isn't perfect, you're in for some tough times, honestly.

Well, on the bright side, she said you two have a future.. so there's that.

learning how to pick out gifts is not easy hints: jewelry works, do not attempt to pick out clothes for a woman way too land mines, buy her more of the same perfume she already wears. ask a women friend for advice once you pick out something check with a woman to see what they think about it

If you're still together next Christmas I can almost guarantee they she'll gift you with a framed photo of your balls in her purse.
