Damn. Now I have to take the stripper pole back. Now wonder I hate lists.
nickchopperDec 15, 2010
Me, too. I wonder what else I could use the stripper pole for. I suppose that'll be another list.

Yes!! I've got my pole

This list didn't help. I was thinking of either a new vacuum cleaner or a bowling ball and I'm still undecided.
blinker1315Dec 15, 2010
Go with the bowling ball. Vacuum cleaners go on the fritz; a bowling ball is forever. And hats off for the romanticism.
thechauvinistDec 15, 2010
Make sure you put your name on the bowling ball.

My GF requested a cooking apron and instead of getting her lingerie, I just got her a gift card to Victoria's Secret. The list lies or my GF knows her place ;-)

When I was in 6th grade, my step father gave my mom dishes for Christmas. Not expensive crystal stuff you show off in a case, a box of 50 dollar cheap-o dishes from wal-mart. I thought she was going to kill him, and I don't think there would be a jury that would convict her.
thechauvinistDec 15, 2010
$50?! You must have lived like kings!

My mother gave my father a flashlight for Christmas one year.
Yeah, its not so shocking that they're divorced now huh?

Gotta say, the jewelry shown with No. 10 was from Tiffany's, so I'm pretty sure most women would be OK with that.
sevin23Dec 16, 2010
So it matters more where it came from (and how much it costs) more then how it looks?
snokageDec 16, 2010
Fast learner.
julie188Dec 15, 2010
Absolutely do not buy her any of the ugly "open heart" jewelry designs. But all in all, jewelry with a shiny rock in the middle (white, red, green) is usually a pretty good choice.
customcomputersDec 15, 2010
Ahhh, so sorry I sent you one of those! Wrong again. You may return the necklace gift to me which can be exchanged for the MS Fan inscribed earrings. LOL!Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.
bigfruitbasketDec 15, 2010
Is it me or do those "open hearts" dangly things look like a woman's ass? I'm just saying.

"I'm quite a modern man, for example I have no problem buying tampons, -but apparently they're not a "Proper present". -"Happy birthday mum!"" - Jimmy Carr
jatteaDec 15, 2010
Wow, way to steal that directly from the comments section of the article.
douglasqDec 15, 2010
Really? To be honest I didn't even read the article, just a Jimmy Carr fan.
jatteaDec 15, 2010
So let me get this straight. You didn't read the article, and by sheer coincidence, you posted this quote here and someone else posted the EXACT SAME QUOTE, even down to the punctuation and spacing, even down to the comma outside the quotation marks and the double quotation marks at the end? I don't know, it kinda looks like you just copied and pasted it, and then when you were busted, you just lied about it!
douglasqDec 15, 2010
I wrote it out myself, I didn't even google it first or anything.
I just looked in the article and couldn't find the comment, but if it is (or was) there and is exactly the same, it's most likely they copy-pasted it from here.
It's not the end of the world or anything, it's a quote to begin with.
xtomtomxDec 15, 2010
So in other words, get her nothing.
bluenoseboyDec 15, 2010
What an idiotic article. How did this wind-up on Digg?
Not all women are the same. My girlfriend was quite clear that she doesn't want any more jewelry (at least for this year) but rather she wants kitchen gizmos. She LOVES cooking!
ricksiteDec 15, 2010
No doubt. My wife would love kitchen stuff. Half the stuff on her Christmas list is kitchen related.
mrteflonDec 16, 2010
I think it was meant as satire . Laughter is the best medicine after all :)
technorabbitDec 16, 2010
I know. I personally love electronics. I understand how they work.Hell, I've soldered things to motherboards and reprogrammed chips. f**king sexist list.
mywristDec 16, 2010
Yeah, the things my girlfriend actually asked for were related to the kitchen, electronics, and exercise. I guess those are all terrible gifts, better bring them back.
vtbarreraDec 15, 2010
I was seriously pretty close to getting my wife a stripper pole for Christmas.
elhafDec 15, 2010
Go for it. Never listen to women's advice on women. They're just trying to keep a woman down.
mindgames51Dec 15, 2010
This list reminds me why I married my wife in the first place, she doesn't want the jewelry or expensive items, she wants items she will actually use. The vacuum cleaner I got her last year, absolutely loved it.
ricksiteDec 15, 2010
I finally bought my wife a new vacuum so she would stop begging for one.
pshumanDec 15, 2010
Got my wife a roomba for her birthday once. She wanted one and was happy, but had to convince her friends it was a good gift. I figured it was vacuuming so she didn't have to!
tfoegelleDec 15, 2010
Just because you don’t understand technology and don’t want the “latest and greatest” things doesn’t mean other women don’t. Exercise equipment (obviously) and a stripper pole are excellent ways to stay in shape. Some women need a wake up call, too many American’s suffer from obesity and need to get off of their asses and do something about it. And lingerie is a GREAT gift, maybe if you would use some of that exercise equipment a bit more than you wouldn’t have a problem wearing it. And beauty supplies, what women doesn’t want to look their best all the time? I really think you should have given this article a little more thought before you wrote it, maybe polled some women instead of just writing down your opinions, you made yourself look like an ungrateful ass.
mrkmrkDec 15, 2010
Usually, I just digg comments that I agree with, but I couldn't agree with you more. This woman is a moron.
monkeymutDec 15, 2010
You'd think someone this bitchy wouldn't have to worry about getting gifts from men.

This chick is definitely projecting some anger.
My personal favourite was #5, which basically said "I'm stupid so deal with it, and trying to make me smarter or more tolerable makes you a selfish assh**e."
thechauvinistDec 15, 2010
I've gotten gifts like this for Mom, and they always end up in the trash, then she says "I want the iPhone! The one with the bigger GeeBees!"
seroevoDec 15, 2010
I think Moms just play dumb with technology to get attention from their sons. I'm not saying they become uber nerds as soon as we leave after fixing their router/printer/remote control, but there's just no way a smart person could navigate complex contracts and business transactions yet struggle with copying files to a USB drive or unplugging a router.

Digg would be so much better without all the stupid top 10 lists like this one.

mrkmrkDec 15, 2010
This is less a an explanation of poor gifts to buy than it is an exploration of the ignorance and vanity of its author, and how she projects her own poor qualities onto women in general. How sad and vapid.
prestonoDec 15, 2010
This article doesn't belong on Digg, it belongs on sites nobody gives a damn about, like AskMen.com

Wow this lady is quite narrow minded.. Maybe saying 'most women don't ever want electronics' applied 50 years ago but now days certain things like an ipad are owned and wanted about equally by genders.

Egotistical stereotypical **** is Egotistical.
themonkmanDec 16, 2010
Dear God, the girl that wrote this makes it seem like all women are ignorant and oblivious to technology. I got my wife a Macbook Pro for Xmas last year and she f**king loved it! Not all women are dumb broads who live like they are still in the 50's. Sure, something more sentimental might be nice, but guys are practical and we will sometimes get you what you need. Be glad you didn't have to shell out for it yourself, you f**king ****.
So she thinks guys are so f**king retarded when buying gifts for their women...well I got something for ya. Women are way f**king worse. They never listen to what a guy needs or wants. Most don't bother to research jack s**t before buying it, either. Here is my top 5 list of what not to get your man for Christmas:
1.) Clothes: You're not our mother and no matter how much you hate our fashion or lack thereof, this isn't a game of f**king dress up. Most of us don't give a flying f**k about "what's hot" or "what's in season". We shop for clothes maybe 1-2 times a year at best, and if we are going to get clothes we sure as hell don't want you trying making us look like your gay buddy at work or some metrosexual douchebag you saw on the E! channel.
2.) Electronics: Unless you have spent some time doing research on what's worth buying or have asked us our opinion of them, don't even bother. What good to me is a $300 tablet that only works on WiFi when I'm on the road most of the time? None! Unless you are one of those cool-as-hell women who know their tech, just get us a gift card to BestBuy, NewEgg.com, or Fry's.
3.) Cologne: You have no idea how it's going to smell on us until we've tried it on, so don't even bother. The ONLY time you should get us some is if we've tested it and we like it. I've thrown away so many bottles of expensive cologne every year because I can't stand the way it smells, and neither can the office of mostly guys I work with.
4.) Tickets to a Play: Most of us guys hate going to plays, operas, musicals and things of that nature. It's more likely that the only reason you got the tickets was out of pure selfishness because it's something you wanted to see, or because you were hoping we'd take you out to an expensive dinner prior to the event. Expensive dinners are for 3 occasions: your birthday, our anniversary, or a random act of romanticism on our part. Don't force us into an unplanned one.
5.) A Car: Yes, this has happened to me. You thought it would be super nice to surprise me a brand new car, one I'll be stuck paying for should I ever find out that you were f**king your boss for a promotion and want a divorce. I'll hate this car! Nothing about it screams "manly", or even sighs it for that matter. You got the car you wanted, not the one I wanted. You don't even know how much horsepower it has, how man liters the engine is, what a "trim" is, and probably got conned into buying the most expensive insurance package on it because you weren't paying attention. I bet you allowed them to give you a 12% interest rate because you were only focused on the monthly payments, which you didn't even manage to internalize that it was for a 6 year loan. There's not even enough trunk space for a dead body, which means I'll have to cut you into chunks to fit you in there for buying me, or should I say "us", tickets to Mamma Mia.

dwhsDec 16, 2010

blinksumgreenDec 16, 2010
The list for women would consist of one item.
1. Not clothing.

2. Jogging weights; when they're not a jogger.

stephaniem sounds like a ****. She sure as s**t does not speak for all woman.
evenstarredDec 16, 2010
Electronics: HELL YES! What women would turn down a new laptop, a Nintendo 3DS or some other cool gadget?
Kitchen Gadget: The only woman that would turn this down is one that can't cook. I would love that new Cuisinart food processor for Xmas.
Lingerie: Why not? What woman doesn't like to play 'sexy space nurse'?
Walgreens: Gimme the chocolate.
The chick that wrote this needs to eat a pound of chocolate, take a midol and relax.
johnomazzDec 16, 2010
Well, it all depends. If she is a stripper, a pole is perfect. If she looks like the woman in the thumbnail, you should ONLY buy her lingerie, but much smaller lingerie. And if she is a fat cow, exercise equipment shows you really care about her health and love her most of all.
rethreadDec 16, 2010
A dear friend once told me, "Never trust a cook who doesn't eat their own food." *double belly slap*
Another told me, "If you ain't got the looks, learn to cook."
How about a good local cuisine cook-book? I think that might go over better for the "fat cow". Maybe even some Grandma's recipes. Just sayin...
