Presents should not be too expensive or the other party (and I) will feel uncomfortable. Buying too expensive a gift shows a lack of consideration.

It's not about the price of the gifts. Instead it's about showing that you care (in other words, you have put some effort and thought into it).

[begood4000]

@slipcurve BINGO !

Lets remember what valentines day does too, i think the whole system is designed to promote expectations on material goods and spending money.. and if the gift isnt good enough it can make an already weak relationship suffer even more... Thx for the video James i always Love hear what you have to say...karl tulsa ok..

[begood4000]

@karlbuttler Thanks Karl. You are correct about Valentines day too. We need to get back to the basics of what relationships mean and how to go about having one in a healthy manor.

While I was dating my now very toxic husband, I bought him a $200 jacket and he gave me a $6.99 can opener for Christmas, and I still married him.

[begood4000]

@ayemaya75 how long were you dating him when you bought the $200 Jacket ?

Christmas promotes consumerism! a smart couple would boycott "gift giving" all together. Christmas promoted as the "the season of giving," is a psychological ploy designed to make people feel selfish and alienated from loved ones for not buying them "gifts."

Christmas itself, as currently practiced, is selfish, and as an eponym is false. It's nothing but societal peer pressure for adults, sponsored by profit chasing corporations.

@Lisa9744 sorry I meant that reply for Karl.

There is nothing wrong with a material expression of care like a gift. It's nice to express our love and friendship with a tangible object like a card or gift at times. It's the over emphasis and blowing it out of proportion IMO that is so wrong.

[Lisa9744]

Not all women buy into it. I was taught from an early age NOT to accept high dollar gifts from men. I had no idea why at the time but it was taught to me long before I had an interested in boys. Not all women think what magazines/tv saw is gospel to live by. Many women what a real relationship and view their love (or friendship, whatever level they are at) to give a man higher than a commodity to be exchanged.

Great video, the commercialization of christmas is disgusting.! A truly impressive mate would be one that is secure enough to not fall for the peer and social pressure to impress others with what they can buy or have bought for them. The market constantly comes up with new ways to drain our wallets like valentines day and others... and a great line of the video is the phrase "buying a service" how true!

[Lisa9744]

We need to learn it's OK and necessary to reject a gift too. They know we will feel obligated and won't want to hurt them by saying No. If someone gives you a gift that has a $ value you are not comfortable with, don't accept it. This is how some Narcs start things out.

[AgapeForgotten]

The best gift is one from the heart. I bought my brother a switchblade comb for $4 that he loved way more than the $20 remote controlled plane. I love gifts that show an attempt to know me way more than any rocks on a shiny string.

[ginastarke2]

Any of the other women that aren't "the social norm" feel like they're from another planet? If I acted like/claimed to be a princess growing up, my parents would have collapsed laughing. If I complained about boredom, they gave me chores. If I asked for money they told me to go earn it myself,l but didn't mind helping me start whatever business I thought up.

Hope you enjoy the holidays James.

Funny; some truth but also some not so funny facts make this tale cold and calculating. When really everyone is simply led up the garden path into ego land, sad yet very true!

While Men work, build, invent, discover, fix and improve... Women are Parasites.

Women are completely dependent on Men for their survival... offering men the only thing they can offer, their Vagina.

In return for their Vagina women demand a Home, Money, Food, Car, Allimony, Child custody, Child support, and then Social benefits such as food stamps, cash assistance, free housing and if you are a foreign woman...
