Els Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Ha! Turns out I was right. She did it for her own ego. Distant78, whichwayisup, Elswyth, kdark; this is for you guys. And whereeee did you arrive at that conclusion? EVEN if you're right and you struck gold this time, I see absolutely no future in any of your future relationships if this is how you're gonna be treating your future gf's valentines' gifts - with extreme paranoia. Might as well stop looking for one, then. Link to post Share on other sites
somedude81 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 And whereeee did you arrive at that conclusion? Simple. In my previous post, I said that the OP's wife got him the picture, but she really did it for herself. She's 61 and claims to be a trophy wife. She wants to basically tell her husband that she's still got it. It all boils down to her ego. EVEN if you're right and you struck gold this time, I see absolutely no future in any of your future relationships if this is how you're gonna be treating your future gf's valentines' gifts - with extreme paranoia. Might as well stop looking for one, then. Oh lordy! Extreme paranoia Certain gifts deserve some skepticism. I've seen women complain that her BF bought her some sexy but uncomfortable underwear. And she pointed out how she thinks the underwear is really a gift for himself and not for her. Tell me it's not the same thing. BTW, if a future GF wanted to give me a gift, all I'd need is some chocolates with caramel centers Link to post Share on other sites

I think the majority of women just told her to try and appreciate the gift, or that it's okay to be a little disappointed but she should not extrapolate it to mean horrible things about her bf. I also don't recall you speaking up in that thread about the bf being selfish. Link to post Share on other sites
OpenBook Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 For what it's worth, I agree with somdude - I think it's weird too. It's like she's trying to drive home her message or prove something about herself to doug44, rather than being genuinely happy for his birthday. It's all about her, not him. Gifts should be given in light of making the recipient happy, not Trojan Horses. It's HIS birthday, not hers. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm suppose to have a blind spot to that if he gives me a hot picture of him because its my bday? I gave him a digital file of a pic I sat for like that; he wanted to have it printed and put it above the TV in the living room! I had to argue that it wasn't an appropriate place for it.

After reading this thread last night, I asked my husband, "I'm thinking of getting some sexy boudoir photographs taken. Would you like that?" He got really excited and say, "Oh hell yeah!" Maybe this man's wife is trying to tell him something, but I think a lot of men would love to have this as a gift from an SO. Link to post Share on other sites
thomasb Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 My wife had some of these done for me. I was so thrilled. She didn't even end up paying for them as the photographer wanted to use them for his advertising. She signed the release and got them for free. They are beautiful, and I am lucky to have them. Even luckier to have a wife who tries to think of such things to do that please me! Link to post Share on other sites
