    Women are more thoughtful than men. Sounds like tall got the selfish ones.
    Don't get mad at me, just calling it how I see it.

    All I wanted was tamales. Having family coming over to eat all of them and leave me none pisses me off.

    Adults get screwed.

    Why do kids get so much more stuff?

    Yes men typically get the short end of the stick on Christmas when it comes to gifts. It is for a variety of reasons. As a father/husband you are the provider and get other perks and benefits. Just be happy those you love are happy. You are a man and really don't need much. If you really want something, buy it for yourself like others suggested.

    I agree women usually buy more thoughtful gifts (women are just more thoughtful in general) but that doesn't mean razors and underwear are great Christmas gifts for every man. I personally am happy with anything as long as my family is happy, but apparently some men are not.

    Next time only put out the tamales you are willing to spare. Be proactive.

    Gifts are for women and children. If you want gifts you're one or the other.

    I wish someone bought me underwear. I forgot to pack some for my trip even though I laid them out. Now I gotta brave going to Walmart or Target to get some.

    It might be due to concealing vulnerability and desires, which means the emotional payoff of a male gift recipient's reaction might not be as rewarding.

    Quote for truth.

    If you want something, just go buy it yourself instead of waiting on someone else.

    My parents and in-laws have been more and more generous over the years. New TV from bedroom, lots of cash, liquor, Specs gift cards to buy more liquor and, most importantly, a family that gets along marvelously now after several valleys over the years.
