      most women use that phrase to expect insane things that they never reciprocate. They literally use that phrase next to "this guy invited me to a date and he didn't offer me flowers after he payed my dinner". And when some people call this girls out they say "my presence on the date is worth all that". I've seen countless examples like this in both real life and online

      I wholeheartedly agree. I also thought the saying is applicable when you communicate your needs to your partner and seeing if they do or don’t. Because they can’t read your mind and if they’re not giving you what you want but you hadn’t made them aware, then that’s when I feel like it’s unfair to use this expression 😰 and it’s also a two way street. If they do meet your needs, you also have to meet theirs.

    The "if he wanted to, he would" advice is actually a really good piece of advice, is just been ruined by TikTok. Is a good advice because men tend to struggle to accomplish the bare minimum, if not not even the bare minimum, and are often lazy even in relationships. When I was told "if he wanted to, he would" by my mom when I was crying about my relationship problems, it hit me and made me realize how lazy and unaccomplished that guy was and that I deserved better. About two or three years have passed after that relationship ended, and I got pretty high standards. Not just for men, but for relationships for I can find a healthy one. Plz, relationships is not all about lavish gift giving IN THIS ECONOMY! So I hate tiktok for ruining this.

    • @haz.fellie

      Right, "if he wanted to, he would" applies to calling/texting you back, spending quality time, putting forth effort to connect and build a foundation of trust in a realtionship. It shouldn't apply to him buying you expensive stuff. Not in this economy, especially.

      I feel a little iffy about this comment because I feel like if tiktok never used this phrase it would still be toxic because it influences the relationship for little to no communication at all. "If he wanted to he would" I feel like you should communicate what you want rather than expect it because not everyone grew up the same. Not trying to make it sound like you were trying to be insensitive, but i understand what you meant.

      Well, I what I do know is “And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.”

    This is the reason why I escape into books for grand relationships and love. I just don't expect to see it in real life, people don't respect each other anymore and the outside appearance of their relationship seems more important. Most of my friends that are in relationships are rather unhappy, but because they fear being along, they would rather stay in that relationship than be on their own.

    I come from a wealthier family, and I never was taught that expensive gifts are synonymous with love. I personally would much much prefer that my partner cuddles with me and does fun stuff with me, like just taking a walk on the beach or going to a nice cafe. I even consider learning a new language together a way to spend quality time. I would never expect him to buy me expensive bags, shoes or clothes.

      Just remember everyone is different tho. I’m one of those people who doesn’t really say I love you often. And by that I mean like almost never. I also believe over using the words can make them lose the real impact they have due to the fact that we don’t have a stronger word than love. But I do show my love for others in different ways, one of my most common is acts of service, and often I do them secretly so you don’t notice. Hence why it might be really hard to tell how much I love someone. Some people’s love is harder to see but that doesn’t mean it’s not there or it’s not as strong.

    I agree with you. I subscribe to “if he wanted to, he would” but that means way more than material gifts. Some of the most touching things my husband does for me are just being there for me when I’m having a rough time at work, listening and offering advice, telling me my anxiety is ridiculous, and even just bringing me a cup of coffee when I’m busy. Hearing about the dating scene through this video makes me realize it’s rough out there for single folks! Things were very easy with my husband ever since we met. We kissed when we first met and we slept together on the third date. Within a few months, we explicitly agreed we were exclusive. I’m 31F.

    Love has become more of a display to others that you have an amazing romance than actual love, I think that the idea of if he wanted he would is purely for materialistic gain, like I get that some people love gifts and giving gifts, but it bothers me how people would just say that a relationship is bad solely because they don’t give you lots of gifts, when they give you support, they care of you, they help you, they listen to you, their always thinking of you, they remember the things you say and more. A bouquet or a door bag would never measure up to the support that your partner would give you

    Aside from materialism and situationship i also have noticed there is WAY more manipulating and mind games in relationships in modern love. I am not saying this wasn't a problem before in earlier centuries, but i think we are more aware of this today. Psychological terms like gaslighting are more known about now than for example in 1950.
    I have seen so many videos of "relationship coaches" on here titled something like: 5 ways men/women test their partner's self worth/loyality/maturity etc. It is a bit tragic you have to play mindgames with someone instead of using communication to express your emotions and motivations with them.

Gen Z and Millenials are turning these into modern lingo/slang without understanding what they really mean. It's also really degrading to put a normal argument between a couple into a "gaslighting" lens when often it's a lack of clear communication.

    Why are expensive gifts so valued, when literally anyone with enough money can go into a shop and buy it? Buying something is the lowest effort thing ever. It doesn't take love to buy a girl a handbag. It shows that you have money, that's it. Money alone isn't enough to ensure a happy relationship.
    Making time for you, giving advice, treating you with kindness, doing small things to make your life easier, giving physical affection...that is way more special. Those are the things you can receive only from someone who really loves you. But of course it's not something you can measure easily, so it's not as emphasised in our consumerist culture.
    When it comes to gifts though, thoughtful gifts (eg cooking your fave food for you, buying you the book they know you want to read, building something for you) mean way more than expensive ones.

It's a very simple act but none the less sharing or offering ones food when I didn't ask makes me feel thought of since I know they don't have to share and they love the food too but they do anyways knowing I love munching on something. They might just be feeding me so I don't bite though >:)

But he makes the bed when i have a stressful morning, he does the dishes or he goes shopping and brings me my favourite chocolate bar for a little surprise because he knows what brand I like. yes, if he wanted to he would but it's not only definied by how big and expensive gifts are

    You can actually have more than one specific Love Language. And your Love Language for Giving (meaning, your preference for showing YOUR love to a recipient) can be the same or different from your Love Language for Receiving (meaning, what makes YOU feel loved). Like for example: You may prefer to show your love through giving gifts, yet you feel most loved when someone spends quality time with you.

    I wonder if a relationship based on receiving gifts is called love. It is indeed a certain kind of relationship, but it is not love. I think it's childish to think that that is all it takes for creating "true love". But maybe childishness is what is needed for love, to believe that physical contact between people is special and should be preserved and not eroded.

    I personally am someone who does not like receiving gifts. I just don't really like materialistic things but spending time together, having fun, cuddling, talking are the way to go for me. I know many people love receiving and giving gifts because it is their love language but some people seem to just have a partner BECAUSE they want to get gifts.
    And the whole "if he wanted to he would"-thing: There should be communication with your partner about this. Your partner should know you enough to know if you like receiving gifts or not. Someone who does not really want to receive gifts often does not really think about getting gifts for their partner because for them it normally would not be a priority.

And i think that sadly, social media has brainwashed us into wanting everything at once, immediately; it began with shopping and grew into vast materialism, then it effected our self images and now we are expected to constantly "glow up". And now, its infiltrating our relationships. Its all made everything about materialism and only living life as a flex. Its making a lot of people lose their hearts and spirits, and its heartbreaking.

  • @n.a.m.1621
    @n.a.m.1621 Před 11 měsíci +13

    I've always thought of the love language of gifts to be when someone gifts you something by another person who thought of you when seeing it or thinking that that thing would suit/benefit you. Similar to the saying, "it's the thought that counts," I never really associated the price of the gift in dollars to its actual worth in terms of sentimental value. Just getting a necklace or a bracelet as a gift from Claire's than from Pandora makes me happy. I get that some people like to have expensive stuff and I think that's completely fine, but then they shouldn't expect to depend on someone to give them those things rather than try to get them themselves or else their partner isn't trying enough or doesn't love them enough. Although not a fan of it, one of my friends whose love language is physical touch often rather prefers things like hugs and being close to friends and family physically. For this reason (again, yes I do know that not everybody else will be like this) it's why I think that even if someone's love language is physical touch, justifying one's actions of acting like a couple and having physical intimacy as couples do but then saying that you don't want to put a label on it and only act that way since it's how you express affection, is not how a relationship should continue as. Though I do see it differently if you communicate to the other person from the get-go that the only thing you are looking for is hooking up and not an actual relationship. Of course this is just how I view it and am not saying that other people's beliefs on this topic are completely wrong.

  • @SaraKkkkkkkk
    @SaraKkkkkkkk Před 11 měsíci +6

    Love is not only a feeling. It's a mixture of a feeling and a commitment, and has nothing to do with money. Gifts are nice, but temporary. People are also looking for their "soul mate" in the sense that there is only one person out there for them. That is such a lie. My husband of 11 years is my soul mate because I married him and I love him. But I've met countless other men I could have also seen myself married to. If life had gone different, my "soul mate" would be different. Young people have to stop worrying so much about having rainbows and butterflies at every moment, stop worrying about committing, and stop sleeping around. Life is too short to be lonely and anxious about who the "right one" is, and too short to just be focusing on your own desires. Committing lifelong to someone who is compatible with you is the most amazing thing! We now have three kids, have laugh wrinkles and stretch marks, serve our community together, and the list goes on... Life is beautiful TOGETHER.

    Love nowadays is hard to maintain with both girls and guys doing the minimal in the relationship. There is no right communication that it becomes hard to really understand what your partner wants or expects from you. Due to which giving has become a huge thing for people now, as they can’t seem to know what each of them want to say or express, so they say their feelings through gifting rather than talking.

    Here’s an idea. Why don’t you just really get to know someone better before getting physical. Then after a few weeks ask them how they actually feel about you and if they want to move forward to make things official or not. Like why is that so hard? You’ll have little to no regrets and choose the right person for you instead of waiting around because then at least you would know. Just talk. I’m very direct and situationships seem self-inflicted especially if you perpetuate and prolong not knowing what you should just ask out right after a few weeks. And don’t be afraid to show boundaries because that will go a long way and lead to the right person 😉

I've been in lots of ick 'situationships' because I accepted that everyone has a different love language spectrum. But finally finding someone with a matched amount of energy and seriousness to my commitment has shown me my true preferences and how easy it can be with someone who truly cares. We have very different love languages but they are very compatible because we both desire different ways of receiving and giving love. I go hard on giving words of affirmation and quality time and he wants to receive those two the most. He goes hard on giving acts of service and gentle physical touch and that's what I desire most. We talk about how we can tweak things to fit the other person more. We give extra when the other person is going through something hard.

    I think there is a difference between the sentence "if he wanted to he would" and what people portray in social media. I love receiving gifts but I dont think most women mean we want a car. I love receiving gifts of "I went to the seven eleven and bought you this chocolate" "I picked up these flowers for you" "I made this handmade gift" the videos here shows the materialistic side of love. Also, it is important that every person feels loved in a different way. This does not mean they don't appreciate your love but that both acknowledge the love language of the other and make small and kind efforts to make their partner feel love in a way they enjoy.

    It isn't the gifts etc. it's the fact you feel underappriciated and unseen
