Quote from peilthetraveler:
If its more expensive, thats what makes it special. (in a womans eyes anyway) For instance...if I went to the store and bought a Hershey Chocolate bar for 79 cents and any other type of chocolate bar for 79 cents, if i melt them and roll them into truffles and charge 20 dollars each for them, they are going to be much more special than two 79 cent chocolate bars even though they are the same ingredients. They are more special because they cost more. (oh and dont try to do this yourself, because it only works if you PAID for this...you cant make it yourself"
This also reminds me of a story that i heard on the radio the other day. A guy went out and bought art supplies so he could "make" a card for his girlfriend. He also wrote a song for her on the guitar. The woman didnt like it and said that it was "so sad, because her boyfriend makes 40 bucks per hour" I personally think if someone puts their time and effort into a gift its more valuable than something you can buy. I mean its so easy to just go to a store and say "let me buy that ring, or that tuffle, or those flowers" But a man that goes out there and grows some roses to give to his girlfriend/wife, or who goes out to dig the earth to find a diamond or gold so he can make a ring will be considered "cheap" because he didnt buy it and its "not as good as something you buy in the store" But in my opinion, the type of guy that does this is giving a much better gift than one that buys that stuff especially if he makes alot of money and buying something is just that easy. I think too many women in this country are focused too much on what they can get that they can show off, rather than what they get from someone that they love. But when you love money more than your partner then i suppose you will want something that was paid for in cash instead of in love.
