[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] "men don't expect much in the way of material things from women." This may be true in the sense that men don't expect expensive tangible gifts. BUT, over the course of a relationship, especially a lifelong one, generally, men expect a LOT of unpaid labor from women and, frequently, that women make choices that give up their own earning power in favor of their husband's or child's welfare. This IS actually a MATERIAL gift to men. Men just don't perceive it that way because they perceive a woman's time and energy as having no or less value than their own, male, time and energy. Frankly, it's a material gift that adds up to a hell of lot more value than an engagement ring. [/quote] OP here -- I agree that that's a) awful and b) very common, so... don't marry a dude like that.[/quote]
