Most guys I know would crawl on their knees on broken glass for a woman they're into. I've met virtually no women who were prepared to go to nearly the same lengths.
Below, my entire history of dating by nicest things done by both parties:
Daniela:
Best thing I did for her: Tie between mail her a $150 ring, and actually flying down to Argentina to meet her.
Best thing she did for me: Give me a Julio Iglesias CD, today obtainable on eBay for around $5. I don't even like Latin music.
Renata:
Best thing I did for her: Bought her the stuffed animals she'd wanted for Christmas, got her a card explaining to open her closet, where she found me sitting there waiting to dote on her with affections (full approval to do this was obtained from her roomies).
Best thing she did for me: Absolutely nothing. Frankly this relationship was so miserable I'm convinced I've met the one and only person I've ever personally known who will go to hell.
Melissa:
Best thing I did for her: Apologized for a fight we had by buying her some Hello Kitty stuff and being genuinely contrite.
Best thing she did for me: Again, nothing. Though she was incredibly pleasant after the relationship was done and always fun to hang out with and catch up with.
Angie:
Best thing I did for her: Started paying rent at her place, even though I was not actually allowed to move in.
Best thing she did for me: Took me to a concert. Perspective time, she had me pay her back for the ticket after the fact.
Anne:
Best thing I did for her: While down in New Orleans I bought her a box of chocolates from one of the finest confectioners down there. I also bought her a bottle of a brand of whiskey that was the first kind she'd ever had. I lugged these on a bus trip from New Orleans to Michigan. I made sure to keep them shifted so the chocolates did not melt from sitting on my lap. When I got back they were in perfect condition.
Best thing she did for me: Ordered a shirt off a website for a band I like.
My wife now is the only woman who's ever made the same effort I make towards her.
So, do boys suck? Maybe. But don't be to quick to give the women of the world too much credit by default.
