X good reasons for men to give women jewellery!!
1) Because for a special occasion we have worn a piece of clothing that he gave us at the start of the relationship, which now he can't even remember buying... 2) Because even if we have a broken hand, he doesn't think to offer to wash the dishes... 3) Because yes, going for a drink in a pub after work is nice, but watching his ecstasy for a football match being shown in the pub for 90 minutes, not so much... 4) Because this child, he wanted it, but you were the one that carried it alone and for x months, and you were the only bar open for it 24/7... 5) Because we have to be beautiful, intelligent, funny, keep control, make the dinner, take care of ourselves, take of him...all while working the same hours as him! And stay modest, too! 6) Because when they are ill, they think they are going to die and that we should ceaselessly pamper them...7) Because when we are ill... They are always showing the match in the pub! (cf point 3) 8 ) Because he forgot our anniversary and now he feels like he has to make up for it... If you have any more don't hesitate to add them! However, it is equally interesting to know why, according to them, they offer us jewellery! Thinking of this, I ran a little survey and forced questioned them. Here are their answers: Why do men offer jewellery to women? Some men answered: (answers collected via Facebook) "Where women know how to express themselves, men just give jewellery." James (20) "To say sorry." Sebastien (25) "It is a subconscious need to mark our territory when she wears the jewellery we have given her." Florent (26) "Because it is a grand present that endures time, that makes a woman even more beautiful, that we are particularly proud of when she wears it because it is us who have offered it... It also lets us show other people that we spoil our woman. We are happy because she is happy! It is also a present that signifies attainment, the reinforcement and symbol of life as a couple..." Gregory (33)"Jewellery is a metaphorical representation of commitment. Unlike chocolates, flowers or clothes, jewellery does not have a fleeting character. Men therefore use jewellery as a symbol of their enduring love. A love which the woman will not forget as long as she wears said jewellery. Maybe it is unconsciously self-serving." Antoine (25) "To guarantee a scorching night with her." Julien (27) "The traditional present in our society! A symbol of emotions... Maybe it is a lack of imagination, or maybe it is something you do to validate your commitment, from the world's point of view, some new form of shackles...! And women love jewellery too, which helps, of course." Nabil (23)
"Because jewellery is made from precious, timeless materials, and because they are the expensive gifts 'par excellence', and because they cost a lot, so offering the most expensive piece possible (within each person's means) serves to assert your masculine power with relation to your net worth. And part of it is because we know that's what makes the birds happy." Benoit (24) Well isn't that beautiful. It would seem we do not have the same way of looking at things...but I found this masculine view-point of property and pride very interesting: showing financial power and marking territory before others... Does that not remind you of the prehistoric man mentioned in the beginning? However, I find this more flattering than macho...

Gold and diamond jewellery is one of the most beautiful symbols of love, which is why men so often offer them to women. Because they are the most beautiful woman in the world, the sweetest, the most loved... Yes, it's sweet isn't it? However, I find myself asking whether there is another reason, a less glamourous reason???
