Colleague Xiao Zhang has made a new girlfriend, but he never brought it out to meet everyone.
One day when we were waiting for someone at a party, Xiao Zhang and I were bored and went shopping. After a while, Xiao Zhang told me that he had bought a lipstick and was ready to give it to his girlfriend.
I asked Xiao Zhang what brand of lipstick he had bought. He said he hadn't heard of it. It's cheap anyway.
"I was a bit surprised and asked him, 'Didn't you always buy Chanel and Saint Laurent before? Most of the things you bought for your ex were from CPB.'". How do I buy this this time? Can you enlighten me?
"That's because everyone's situation is different," said Xiao Zhang. The ex girlfriend grew up with good family conditions, and her parents doted on her. She has seen delicious and funny things before. If you give a low-end brand away, you're looking for a face to draw.
My current girlfriend has a poor family since childhood, and she usually doesn't wear much makeup. "I don't have much knowledge of these brands, so she would be happy to give them a cheap one.". Why waste money buying expensive brands and then buying CPBs? That's not silly. One thing to remember is that picking a girl also involves calculating the cost.
I feel aggrieved for his current girlfriend. While he wasn't paying attention, I secretly took out my pen at the back and wrote the price on the packaging box. The box is too small, otherwise I would have copied all the words he just said.
I just think it would be terrible if love had to go through such calculations.
At a classmate gathering, when everyone was talking about what wonderful gifts their husband and boyfriend had given, I was particularly helpless to say, 'Be content, my boyfriend has never given a gift.'.
A classmate nearby shouted, "Why don't you break up? Let me tell you, a man who doesn't give gifts to his girlfriend is either unloved or incompetent. Regardless of the type, I think you should have parted long ago.".
"At the time, I thought she was right, but she refused to let go of this hard-won relationship. I comforted myself and said, 'I'm afraid he doesn't understand emotions, and his emotional intelligence is too urgent.'".
The trigger for the breakup was that I managed to buy a pair of favorite sports shoes with the money I worked with myself and asked a friend to bring them back from England. I happily took photos to show him, but he said, "This brand of shoes is very expensive, isn't it? How much is it?".
"I told him the price, but it took him a long time to come back. It's so expensive, and you're really willing to spend so much money on a pair of shoes. If you wear them a few times and then throw them away, it's better to buy a pair of Taobao goods.".
I froze there, not knowing what to say, and the excitement and joy in my heart suddenly disappeared. Looking at his line of words, my heart was particularly cold.
Breaking up is a quick thing.
Whether to give a gift or not may seem like a trivial matter, but it actually indicates many problems, such as whether he cares about you or not.
The value of a gift cannot be measured in money. If you don't even have the heart to give it, then you don't have the heart to love you.
Gifts are never given, and when a girlfriend buys something slightly expensive that she likes, she makes a fuss and makes a fuss. Is this what men call demeanor?
Remember, we spend money we earn, not money we take from you. Before criticizing us for buying expensive lipsticks, take a look at yourself and refuse to give any gifts. Hmm, you're frugal, frugal, and hardworking enough to live your life alone with the money you hate to spend.
Ask the loving elementary school brother, have you ever given her a gift after spending more than three years with her? The elementary school younger brother looked surprised and said, "How could it not be given away?". Besides, in fact, she is very good. She is happy when I give her a cheap headband, and she is also distressed when I give her a more expensive watch. Anyway, I think that girls are easy to satisfy. As long as you let them know that you have her in mind and are willing to buy gifts for her, she doesn't care if it's expensive.
Sometimes she takes a fancy to expensive cosmetics or something, and I say I'll buy them for you, but she doesn't. Later, I secretly bought them for her as a birthday gift, and she's super happy. Gifts are surprises in love life, and everyone likes surprises.
I continued to ask, "If your girlfriend buys an expensive lipstick, would you say she wastes money?"?
Primary school brother said, "Why? Lipstick is important for girls, just like basketball is important for boys.".
"Cosmetics are now expensive, and it's normal, just like I'm willing to spend a lot of money on customized star jerseys.". Having the ability to earn enough money, of course, everyone wants to buy the best. Everyone is like this, saving money should be, but the quality of life cannot be lost.
Sure enough, behind every understanding girl, there is a sensible boyfriend.
In fact, girls are really easy to satisfy. Gift is not about being expensive, just be careful. For men who never give gifts and criticize their girlfriends for buying expensive lipsticks, admit it, you're just too low and mean. "I can't afford to buy my girlfriend's expensive lipstick. What's low?"?
