Susan asked in Society & CultureEtiquette · 7 years ago

When men give a woman a gift, why do they spoil it by telling what it cost?

This happens often and it makes me feel like there is an expected quid pro quo and ruins it for me. Do they even know how inappropriate it is to state the value of a gift?

    i think more than giving, what they are really after is bragging. I agree with you. It is highly unethical.
