Gifts That Always Get Guys In Trouble!

As a man, I have learned that buying a non-traditional gift for a woman can be a potentially dangerous proposition fraught with unexpected misunderstandings.

For example, what if you don’t know the exact size of clothing that your female recipient wears? Is it worse to give some ‘intimate apparel’ that is too big or too small? If it is too big, you are in the doghouse because “you think she is THAT fat!”. If it is too small, you are in the doghouse because “you think she is fat and are trying to send her a message!”

Don’t even get me started on giving chocolates because you are either “trying to make her fat” or “being insensitive about her weight”.

What guys tend to do, is go for what we think are the safe stuff. You know, things that we might like as a gift and simply assume that a woman would like it too. Why wouldn’t anyone want the gift of fitness?

All guys imagine that women will appreciate a gym membership, some exercise clothes, a subscription to ‘Weight Watchers’ magazine, some aerobics videos, a big tub of protein powder, some dumbbells, an exercise ball or a Tony Little’s Gazelle!

The sad reality is, ANY gift that is fitness related for a woman, has the undertones that you think she is fat. For the men out there in the world, just accept the fact that women do not think anything like a man.

For the men, think of your shoes right now. You will easily have a clear picture of your two pairs. To see if you are on the same wavelength as the woman in your life ask her “which of your two pairs of shoes do you like the best?” – If you even considered asking her this, you should just accept the fact that you will never understand any female.

What is the ultimate gift that you don’t have to worry about giving to a woman? A diamond… well, I guess not, if it is too small and makes her fingers look fat.

On the next podcast of Fat 2 Fit Radio, we’ll discuss those gifts that people might just want to purchase for themselves.
