I know it\'s a bit early, but it doesn\'t hurt to think about it early. What have you thought about getting your gf/wife for Christmas/Hanukah/Winter Solstice this year?
-
HOLY CRAP!!! *looks at wallet and cries*
No clue, but I\'ll get my inside girl to tell me. Her best friend
-
It\'s hard for me to plan that far ahead as I usually have a monthly role over in dating.... why do people bore me so? I swear I must live in some kind of horrible sess pool of un-dateable women.
-
My dick, Ill put a bow and it and say "**** me"

I prefer lists. Playing that whole guessing game thing is totaly overrated and always bites you in the @$$ at some point. It\'s best to just ask and find out and play it that way so she\'s never dissapointed with what she gets. The surprises go on top of those gifts. It\'s a sure fire way to win.
-
I hate it when you take your chick to the mall, they see this dress/perfume/bracelet/necklace/ring/shoes/earrings/anything and tell you "ohh look at that it\'s soo pretty, I want it!! But you don\'t have to get it from me"
....Right.........
-
Known gift + surprise gift...Ryu, you\'ve learned, young Padiwan! :D

Rya is similar and yes, it drives me bananas. I don\'t quite understand why women do that, I guess they just like to be surprised with it at a later date? I don\'t know. After seven+ years, I still have yet to figure it out.
-
Here...I\'m going to let you in on a little secret about when a woman says that. It means get it for her. Make sure she\'s in a good mood because she\'ll accept it more easily. If she\'s in a mediocre mood she\'ll think that you\'re not listening to her.
Also consider the price. If it\'s way expensive it means get it for her on Christmas or her birthday or the anniversary. Never as a surprise spur of the moment thing.
Warning: this is only theory. It doesn\'t work for all women. ;)
-
HAHA...well yeah. I got the same trick pulled on me on a Necklace, and that\'s what I gave her for her b-day. Also, I got played the same way for a perfume, AND a poem....
-
well right now she wants some specific clothes
but after that im not sure what she wants
i know the specific perfume and i always get her a monkey - she likes em
ill prolly get her some things for our soon to be apartment - like little nick nacks - for the stocking stuffers
-
It\'s interesting that a woman starts a thread that is essentially about "what are you going to get me?"
That\'s a bit crass, and sort of reinforces men\'s stereotypes about the worst qualities in women, doesn\'t it? It\'s generally perceived that women demand to be given gifts, demand to be bribed for their affection, demand to be worshipped and bowed down to at every opportunity.
I\'m not saying that is true for all women, but it is a commonly held stereotype that\'s repeated in the mass media with some regularity. I am personally offended when anyone suggests "I want that" or "You should get that for me." An honest gift should bear no obligation, and should preferably be unanticipated. There are gift giving occasions where that\'s impossible, like Christmas for example, but that\'s no excuse to start building expectations and making demands.
Turn off the pressure. Offer suggestions if they are requested, but don\'t go telling people what they should give you. I think that for the things we want most, we should always plan on buying them ourselves. Gifts should be primarily symbolic tokens of admiration or respect.

If I had a gf/wife to get something for christmas then I could put a legitimate response to what I\'d get her. Well I guess I can say what I did last year. I drew her a rose (yes I\'m an artist) and brought it over with a big teddy bear. I was 16 and jobless by the way so I couldn\'t spend a lot. I had to work with what I had.
-
Tru dat. But, sometimes you can\'t act as if you didn\'t know what she wanted. There are times when they see something, they fall in love with it, and never mention it again...It\'s real cool to watch them open up your gift and it turns out is that something that they forgot they loved so much. Also, you got to have someone on the inside, you don\'t want to buy them something they already got.

Working on the girlfriend part... shit I\'m a loser

The problem with your statement is that you fail to realize there\'s only one active female poster on these boards. If she said significant other, it\'d be politically correct, but inaccurate for this forum.

*Poem...
*Something I know she likes...
*Surprise...
*Something I\'d like, for her to have...

Your dick in her mouth?

That would never happen. But wishful thinking never hurts.
-
You guys dont believe in pre-marital sex?
Or oral sex?
-
Pre-marital sex = No.
Even before I was remotely religious I didn\'t believe in premarital sex. Well, it\'s not necessarily that I didn\'t believe in it, it\'s just I put sex at a higher value than most other people do.
-
I DONT!!!
I do it though...except for sex :( Damn Christian camps, always gota be brainwashing people. For like 2 weeks I thought I wasn\'t gonna get no lovin, the only thing she wanted to do was like kiss and maybe i can grab her butt. But, I won.

^^That\'s true, It might sound gay, but if im going to lose my virginity to some one, IT IS NOT going to be some hoe.

I wonder what the spread would be for, "SirMystiq vs. God"?

Don\'t have a girlfriend so I guess I\'ll have some left over cash this holiday season.

Are you implying that one of the men on this forum might just as easily have posted a thread about "What are you going to get your boyfriend for Christmas?" True, there\'s no audience for such a question because there are so few female members, but even if there were, I don\'t think any man would think to post such a thing.
I\'m not trying to say anything specifically about Rya, a person I do not know. I\'m just trying to call attention to the cultural assumptions we may be ignoring. We are conditioned that men give the gifts, and women expect the gifts. Women do give gifts too, but men do not expect them. A further stereotype is that men expect other things that women give in compensation for the gifts. Like I said, there are individuals who overcome the conditioning, but in my experience they are less than common.

Maybe you can use the cash to get a girlfriend... if you get my drift.

You can have sex and still have high values. That\'s just plain stupid to say...
Unless you marry a chick and she swings from the rafters during sex you will be pissed when you finally deliver the package and she just lays there. And this will be the chick you are stuck with for life. You may as well go back to screwing your favorite pillow.
But to each his own. Just don\'t use the guest pillow.

Sex is a huge factor in any relationship. What if you two are not sexually compatiable? Better yet, you do know that most people who stay virgins until married, end up havin\' affairs at one point, right? Due to the simple fact, as you grow older, you get curious ..Your sex life gets dull - you start to wonder if there is something better. Same applies for women.
Pre-martial sex is the only way to go.
As for the christmas present topic, I thought about buyin\' my right hand a nice new bottle of lotion..

I have the same problem.
Except I rock and it\'s the girls who are losers.
I\'m hoping to meet a couple new ladies this weekend.
If nothing works out, I\'ll just gift wrap some booze and forget about it.
Ho ho ho.

But Rya isn\'t feeding off of this sterotype or applying it in any way. You may just be pointing it out in general, but I think you\'re reading way too much into the topic because it was posted by a woman. Sure, no guy, probably would post such a topic, but instead, on this forum, we post topics about what WE GOT for Christmas. Does that mean all men only care about themselves and what they get and showing off as a whole? I should hope not.
Now that I think about it Cored, you never answered the question in the first place. If it makes you feel any better, I\'ll post it again and make it politically correct --
What, if anything, are you getting your significant other for the Holidays?

I\'m not allowed to give her a gift because she\'s married to someone else. The story of my life.
She will probably get a card though. :(
-

SHHHH....Im getting Swif a thong!! ...HEHEHEHE

I\'m buying a house. She\'s not getting squat. Actually....she\'s choosing the house....so....she\'s not getting anything.
It\'s strange that she keeps calling it "her" house and I\'m paying for the whole shabang! :)

Well that\'s pretty nice of you. And now, if she\'s like Rya, you just have to worry about that surprise gift.

I\'ll probably get her an i-pod... I did just get her an expensive diamond ring... maybe I can just let that ride. ;)

If Rya\'s boyfriend got her a house and she was STILL expecting a Christmas gift.....that boy is WHIPPED! (Unless she has the most sensational gift in the entire universe. :p )

She probably thinks it\'s the most sensational gift in the world...
But all females have them...

I have no clue yet... She has a birthday coming up too. Problem is we just bought leather couches and a new TV. We\'re pretty tapped for a bit.

I hate it when people call them Beamers or Bimmers or Beemers or whatever. It\'s not a real word, as evidenced by the fact that no one agrees on the spelling. Just call it a BMW, not some ghey american abbreviation.

"zim zeemah, whose got da keys to muh beemah?"

if I ever heard some one call their car a Beamer I\'d kick \'em straight in the nuts for being a pretentious, wannabe yuppie, spooge bucket.

Especially if it was a Honda.

Everyone talks as if being whipped is a bad thing and quite frankly, I just don\'t get why. It\'s the men who have too much stupid pride to even bother compromising who are in the 54% of all marriages that end in divorce. I suppose that\'s a GOOD thing though right? Having an ex-wife, having child support, having alimony payments -- it\'s all f*cking SUPER.
The second you start to compromise in any fashion is the second you are whipped and every married man on here does just that because it\'s the key to a successful marriage. Find out how far it gets you when you have to make a decision and your wife thinks differently then you and you tell her flat out "I don\'t care what you think" solely because you\'re independant and unwhipped. After that, I can guarantee that you\'ll either be WISHING you hadn\'t said anything or you\'ll be welcomed from a fellow divorcee to the lovely 54% I was talking about earlier.
What a crock of crap.

Well, see, im 16. Am I whipped? Hmm. Seems like it. Do I tell people I\'m whipped? Nope. Why? Because it\'s not acceptable. HAHA...nah I\'m not whipped, I can live without my baby...for about 1.5 days...
