Part 2/5:
When asked if they expect gifts from their partners on Valentine’s, the tone shifted toward a discussion of experiences and tangible presents. One individual shared a notable experience: he received a vintage car from his girlfriend. Such substantial gifts can evoke feelings of gratitude and sometimes guilt, highlighting the one-sided nature of gifts during this holiday. Yet, despite these complexities, the individuals involved seem not to harbor resentment—perhaps understanding that traditional gender roles play a significant part in how gifts are exchanged.
