This is not a fair trade

In an episode of a Married, With Children (Which is a documentary by the way), wife had the kids pick out one of their father's shirts from his closet, along with a tie. She would wrap them both for his Christmas present. Sound familiar?

Socks we paid for.

TBH, I celebrate my birthday with my bros. I don't expect present from them. Their presence is what matters. It doesn't matter if we will just drink some JDs then talk about life and future plan or get wasted in bars partying.

I love celebrating my birthday.. with the guys at the local bar getting sloshed then smoking some cigars and contemplating life and appreciating brotherhood.

Men are typically more logical so they're more likely not to make a fuss over being a day older than yesterday. Men also received far less attention, particularly as they get older, so I'd imagine plenty of guys don't feel a need to have a big Me Me Me day like women do.

Or the short version, men get together to celebrate achievements and women get together to celebrate themselves. Its not a blanket rule but I'd reckon that'd be right more often than not.

Because we can’t celebrate much of anything without being called privileged

Usually paid for with the money you make, how the hell is this a present?

As a kid, I'd get a cake or pie with cherries on or in it and my mother would sometimes bother to put a candle on it. Maybe that happened once, the candles I mean.

I hate cherries and everyone knows I hate cherries.

My birthday presents usually consisted of women's toiletries. My single mother would then complain about me being ungrateful and then use them for herself. She bought them for herself to begin with.

One time my birthday presents were for someone else.

I cried like a bitch.

edit: 2 of my cakes weren't cherry based but they were "stolen" so I didn't get any.

Edit: Santa also required I do full house cleaning. My mother never cleaned anything. I grew up in filth. She wanted a 5-year-old kid to clean her shit.

Maybe because being born isn't exactly an accomplishment to be celebrated once per year?

Meanwhile my sister in law has her "Birthday Week" fucking obnoxious

ThaRedHoodie · 2019-09-06T22:44:16+00:00

I just don't tell people when it's my birthday anymore.

Once you grow into a man, you realize the world is about more than just you and your birthday. But of course the selfish/ childishness of women doesn’t allow them to understand this.

anoynomuzz · 2019-09-06T21:26:31+00:00

short answer: not the law of equivalent exchange

Ukhupa · 2019-09-06T23:11:13+00:00

Maybe because deep down they resent that they always have to plan something grandiose for their woman but that gesture is rarely reciprocated.

On a serious note, as I 've gotten older I find celebrating my birthday the epitome of egocentrism and I'm not like that. "Yeah, pamper me with gifts and dinners. Don't bother with wishes".

I might gather my closes friends and hang out for a good evening.

projectanomaly · 2019-09-06T14:12:07+00:00

You guys are getting socks?!

thekidsnotmine · 2019-09-06T15:39:41+00:00

I already know I'm not getting shit for my birthday as well as Christmas and fathers day. I would literally pass out i was given a gift or think it's got to be some sort of prank.

8pepsi_powered_pony · 2019-09-06T19:18:17+00:00

I "celebrated" my birthday by just playing video games online with my buddies, talking shit with them and having a few whiskeys, didn't need any presents or bday wishes, just being able to do what I love with my mates is all I needed

Red_Pill_Philosopher · 2019-09-07T01:38:27+00:00

I’ll be honest after the age of 21 celebrating birthdays just seems irrelevant and is a reminder that you are one year closer to meeting the grim reaper. For my 30th birthday this October I decided to go my first concert ever in my life which is showcasing EDM artists Slander, Nightmare and so forth. I’ll smoke some good kush, drink a few Moscow Mules, get some food and call it a day. Best part is I won’t have to deal with no nagging woman ruining my experience. It will be a fun time. Looking forward to it. Good way to celebrate entering a new decade in my life and waving good bye to my 20’s.
