Why is it that most gifts women want from men are things displayed for the public to see?

Question

It seems like most of the gifts women desire of men just happen to be things that are displayed for everybody to see. Why is that? If you want a great, expensive gift-- then you should ask for something like a new dvd player or a 2 in one blender; something with a high utility. But most gifts women want when it comes from a man in her life are expensive things that are displayed for everybody else to see. In other words not something that has a great use but more of something like a trophy for her to display around.

Diamonds, nice cars, expensive clothing--- basically things with no utility; the only reason being them wanting someone else to admire or possibly envy these women. Not something of actual utilty value or something that can be shared between the two of you ...... why's that ladies?

Answer 1

I can't answer for the other women, but I like a thoughtful gift (whether expensive or not) Like a trip to the salon, or a nice CD or a concert ticket.

As to the "trophy"-that's exactly what it is. To make other women envious and jealous. Women can be spiteful.

Answer 2

It means we want to tell the world that we have found a great guy that can provide for the family and more, to prove that she is with the "alpha male" so to speak.

And it shows power/status, (most) women like power and status, expensive possessions seep that.

Answer 3

Materialism is hard-coded into most chicks. To back that up, it's not-so-subtly smashed into their brains with magazines and tv. Blame it on society that girls are obsessed with being the Queen Bee.

A question like this is like asking "why are guys horny all the time?".

Answer 4
