I know ladies here are very rare… But. Maybe some gay bros can hear this too or anyone dating masc presenting person.
Buy them a nice shirt. They will treasure it forever. My wife bought me (girlfriend at the time, like first year of our relationship or so) sweatpants. I wore them today, 18 years later.
Things like that stay with us forever.
Now for those who are fashion blind like me, try to observe what they dress like, suggest something long the lines of “this could look good on you”. Apparently I pick good clothes, but in reality, it’s good because I complemented her in it. It doesn’t take much, but will mean a lot to your partner.
It’s like that crude joke
“Would you have sex with me for 1 million? Yes. How about for 20 instead? No, I’m not a whore! We already established that, we’re now negotiating the price”
First it was the rare earth worth X amount, now it’s half. What’s next?
