They shoot spitwads. Especially when it comes to buying for a woman. A guy will go out shopping, and if he hasn't found what he's looking for after 20 minutes, he'll improvise and buy whatever he happens to be standing in front of at the time. I'm looking for a gift for my girlfriend. Apparently it's that second X chromosome that carries the shopping gene.
Guys are handicapped from the get go.
So ladies, be aware of this. On Christmas morning, or on your anniversary, don't expect a lot. Try to be a little understanding if you open up a beautifully wrapped box, remove the tissue paper, and all you find is a bike reflector and a package of cigarette lighters. It's not our fault. It is my intention here to surpass genetics and make good shoppers out of the guys reading this.
