whats the best thing anyone ever given u as a gift
my grandmother got me a book when i was younger than really helped me at the time. it was a random gift, not for anything in particular.
my mom got me a watch right before she died. was meant to be an early bday gift but it didn't get delivered until after she was already gone.

For my birthday last year my wife gave me instructions to go somewhere downtown at a certain time, what to wear, what to bring; when I got there, I found out she signed me up for some blacksmithing sessions with a local blacksmith. It was awesome

Usually my comments are the same good or bad 🤷🏽♂️...
Hotties get the same treatment irregardless of level of hotness.. Or so I'd like to think I'm that way 🤷🏽♂️...
But I don't normally comment on public selfies unless she's been a good friend in the past...
However if I point out something obscure... I'm not trying to be nice and rather trying to hide the fact that I want to take your photo and be all... 🙈 (that's good)1 -

Then what's wrong with a guy saying he prefers little to no makeup? 🤷🏽♂️...

Okay, I'm gonna literally answer this one in as much detail as I can, because it matters.
If people are having a conversation about what they like in their preferred partners, or what they find attractive in general, in a conversation? There's not a problem with that. She likes men who wear eye liner, he likes women who don't wear makeup - not a problem either way.
If a person comes up to another person and says TO them, 'I like beards' vs. 'I prefer women with little to no makeup?' Then it depends on WHEN and TO WHO these words are said. And often, it's this part of thing that ends up with women angry.
I usually hear women say something like 'I like beards' to men WITH beards. Expressing something they like in a way that is also expressing their admiration to another person. It's pretty simple. Basically, 'you have a quality I find attractive.'
I usually hear men say something like 'I prefer women with little to no makeup' to women who do NOT have little to no makeup. Rather than an expression of admiration, then, it becomes, basically, 'you don't have a quality I find attractive, and you should change that.' And worse, the 'why' they should change that is...the guy prefers something and that...matters more than what the woman prefers?
It's rude and insulting, basically.
If guys come up to women who aren't wearing makeup and say they like that, some will take it as a compliment, or an expression of admiration. But...it can still be a problem.
For this reason: freaking history.
For centuries, men in our culture have quite literally been able to control every aspect of a woman's life. Heck, women were often unable to even have a bank account without their husband or father signing off on it. They couldn't get a house loan without a man signing off on it. And their makeup, their clothing, their jobs, their parenting - men got to have a say in it all, and their 'preferences' were what trumped the woman's own preferences about her body and her life.
This was not just centuries ago. This was decades ago. This was years ago. This is still going on NOW in many areas (I know an American woman whose doctor would not give her a hysterectomy without her husband signing something, and this was 2 YEARS ago, and it's not uncommon even). Most women you will meet today either lived with that, were raised by women who lived with that, or have grandmothers who lived with that.
And many men STILL act like male preferences are more important than a woman's when it comes to her body. One great current example is how often men in bars won't leave women alone until they say they have a boyfriend - because 'her' saying no wasn't worth listening to, but another man's 'claim' is respected.
So it's important to understand this history, and this current experience, of women having to deal with men acting like 'their' preferences matter more than the woman's. Every time it happens, it's like someone poking you with a pin, and it happens constantly.
Which means that when some guy comes around and starts talking about his 'preferences,' that feels like just another jab with a pin, for many women, and it makes them want to smack that guy in the face.
Sure, maybe he is trying to express admiration. But hopefully it would help him if he understood that the person he was speaking to has had a lot of similar comments that were, instead, passive aggressive ways of trying to get her to change to fit someone else's preferences. So he could maybe come up with something better to say.
Like, 'you look really nice today.'

Maybe they don't think that they get jealous. I used to think that I didn't but turns out that I just didn't care enough about them. 🤷🏻♀️ I also don't see it as a trap or dare. That part confuses me.3 -
