The real woman will cherish the thought that went into that gift, not its monetary value per say. Its sad that most women have been reduced to selfish parasites no thanks to poverty and the need to "belong" in a world that has become increasingly materialistic. What gifts did her parents give her for her birthday? Do women now just keep men for the gifts they hope to receive on their endless 21st birthdays?

What is this fuss about a Bible? I mean who buys a Bible as a gift?
Couldn't you find some earrings or bracelets or necklaces?? Why a frigging Bible??
@ David
The girl hasn't proved she is a golddigger by refusing his gift. She simply didn't like what he bought for her. Simple! How did you come about the golddigging story?
I think you are upset because she wasn't interested in the word of your God. What's so special about it anyways?

She just spoke her mind. I'd have hated the gift too and throw out the giver from my party. I mean you come to eat and drink at my party and can't buy a decent gift?
What if I had offered you grandnuts instead?
I cant believe this is really your level of thinking as regards this issue. Seriously. 5 days after meeting her he got her a present and she's complaining? Bible or even tissue roll, phooey. What nerve  Na the giver (tithe) i blame . . . if she even got a text on her birthday she shld be grateful. Why waste money on a someone you met barely 5 days ago? Has she no parents or doesnt she have a job? While Im not supporting the girl's attitude I believe the poster is just too rational. How can you give a woman a Bible[i][/i] on her birthday for God's sake, even if you bought it for 12k. Im sure she was expecting something romantic
err what do you mean by "something romantic"? You mean something material and expensive? Is a car gift romantic too? Would she have been ok with a box of chocolates and a teddy bear? |

David I am mad because he bought a Bible. Even though the girl was the holiest of all Christians that is a horrible gift for a bday party. You can buy that if she was newly baptized. I mean couldn't he use his common sense to know there are GOOD and BAD gifts?

My guy atleast you got some feedback on your gifting skills, better than seeing the bible and the other thing you bought in the trash or re-gifted to you on your next birthday  . |

why get her earings, bracelets or necklaces? They just met 5 days ago . . . what value does she add to his life to be worth such expense? |

A necklace or a pair of earrings would been perfect. Those 12K were simply wasted. Are you saying you can't get a nice set of jewelries with 12K?  |

I really can't stand ungrateful people, honestly, even if you hate the gift, there's a way to go about things, a bible isn't exactly my ideal gift either but it really is the thought that counts, 5 days after meeting me and you bought me a present? I really would cherish it. One man's meat is another man's poison, he could have given her that present because he wanted her to know Christ and as a christian, that's one of the greatest gifts you could give anyone.
Sheesh.

But he spent 12K on a book. Couldn't he use that to get a dress? |

I agree with Michelin, that 12k could have been spent on other things. Of all things a bible? common son this sounds like a Nollywood script.  |

Bottonmline . . . tithe, next time simply do as most guys with a brain do (i'm not saying you dont have a brain) . . . never give a woman a gift if she doesnt add anything of value to your life. If she's not happy with a text on her birthday she can go hit her head on the wall. For the most part i simply "forget" the birthday . . .

Honestly . . . even simple manners have gone to the dogs these days. Even if she didnt like the gift, there are ways of kindly pointing it out to the giver. Raining abuses on him? After meeting a mere 5 days ago? |
