Do they do it on purpose? Of course not. It's just that men hate the pressure of holiday shopping and would cut off their right arm to avoid it.
We women, on the other hand, have high expectations because we put lots of thought into gift-giving. Throughout the year, we pick up on the little hints he drops and then do our darndest to make sure he has a wonderful holiday filled with everything his heart desires. To women, gifts have hidden meanings, and we try to decode them to understand how our guy feels about us.
To men, buying us gifts is a necessary relationship evil, ranking right up there with attending our mother's birthday party.
If you're a woman over the age of fifteen, you know exactly what I'm taking about. In the name of research, however, I went out in the field and asked random men plus a few guy friends whether they look forward to shopping for that special something that will thrill their wife or girlfriend, or whether they dread it more than, say, buying tampons.
Read no further if you think there will be surprises. It was unanimous: Men hate holiday shopping. Yes, even more than cruising the feminine products aisle. Yes, even the sweet guys, and, yes, even your man. Here's what they said:
Peter: "I am in the bah humbug category."
Gary: "I hate having to shop for my girlfriend at Christmas. It's way too much pressure and the holiday is too commercialized. I buy her nice things throughout the year when I see them. But I don't want to have to buy her something just because society says I have to on a certain day. It's so stupid."
"I hate shopping, period. I do try to be thoughtful but sometimes I'm more successful than others. Keep my name out of this, please. My wife reads your blog." Anonymous
Jason: "I enjoy it, but I can say this because I don't currently have a girlfriend."
Ron: "The pressure I feel to outdo myself each year gets overwhelming. It is hard to keep being imaginative and thoughtful. Plus, guys like to buy practical things, but women don't seem to appreciate a new toaster for Christmas, even if they desperately need one."
TJ: "I love shopping for my girlfriend. It's the wife who is the hardest. What do you get someone who buys everything she wants already? I get more mileage out of making her a gift from scratch. I use some construction paper, maybe a few cotton balls (for snowmen), some nice green and red crayon, BAM: instant romantic card.
