Another way for some women to profit financially from their relationships with men?

Question

http://gmy.news.yahoo.com/v/9157156

Instead of peddling the jewelry online, shouldn't they have returned it to their ex's after the breakup? Discuss amongst yourselves. Here's a topic: If a man had marketed gifts like this on the Internet, wouldn't he be reviled as a cad?

Answer 1

we give gifts to women making it their's therefore they can do what they want with it... we aren't attached to it.

Answer 2

Any jewelery (besides engagement rings etc.) given during the duration of a relationship are considered gifts and the person who received the gifts is free to do with the gifts as he/she pleases.

While I can understand the need to rid oneself of trinkets that invoke painful memories, the route that these people have taken reeks of revenge.

I would rather return the items to the giftor, give them away, dispose of them, or discreetly sell them.

Answer 3

It's a generally accepted rule that all gifts exchanged in a relationship are kept by the recipient, unless they don't want them.

Answer 4

the problem with such relationships is that ... u r r exchanging something materialistic for something immaterial... Basically such men are openly admitting to the fact that my pocket is deep, have a relationship with me  an i give u bling bling in return for s*x... where as he is welcome to go look for it elsewhere, where he can get it for free, but since his want is governed by his standards of beauty which is obviously physical(ain't mandatory though), its obvious good things come with a price...

So once the relationship is over ... one can think of expecting your gifts returned... but how are u men gonna return what u exchanged it for in the first place, its your stupidity for exchanging materials for something that is immaterial...woman aren't bloody fools you know...

Answer 5

No its a way to get rid of reminders of life past.  Once given as a gift it belongs to the recipient.  She can do what she likes with it.  

Guys have done this, it would be silly to think they haven't.    

Answer 6

gifts are just that gifts. they are not lent items from him to her.

once it's yours/hers/his they are free to do with it what they please

except for engagement rings. those should be returned.  

Answer 7

You mean in the same way men profit financially from the oppression of women, right?

Answer 8

I sounds like you gave jewelry for something in return. At any time a gift of jewelry or anything is given, it should be from the heart not from

a stand point of something in return. The gift you give should give you a good feeling just as the person who recieves it, and that's it, because

you have feelings for this person. No more, no less,and no strings. Once you look at this from a different point of view you will feel better.  Unless the "Lady" deliberately went out of her way to mock you when given the gift. Money or gifts don't buy love, you get s*x.I am sure this is a lesson whether your relationship is real or a fling.Chalk it up as a lesson learned. You are wiser for it.  

Answer 9

another way?? asking a lot of money for everyday shopping./.

Answer 10

Interesting...this has been done on a small local level for a long time, this 'girl' has just put it on the internet and given it her 'cutesy' little name...she is a business major and I don't like her...on the other hand the lady who was her first customer I did like...sold her jewelry and gave the money to charity...the difference in older ladies and young sharks...just my slant on the entire thing..oh! And they did say men have sold their jewelry..haven't you ever heard of estate jewelry or pawn shops? Same thing...

Answer 11

I agree. It is in bad taste.

But, do not tar all women with this brush. I have walked away from every relationship with less than I walked in with. I have left expensive gifts like drum kits and even a car. I gave them to the man because I cared and chose to let them keep them. I have always given him the option of taking back any expensive gifts he has given me.

Answer 12

Perhaps you should have watched the whole video, it said men also use the service, and it doesn't refer to them as cads.

Answer 13

Lol! I see. A man gives a woman gifts in return for s*x and if they break up, the woman should no longer keep her gifts seeing as he's not getting his.

Of course, in the world of mature adults men don't give gifts in return for s*x, so this isn't an issue.

Answer 14

well i dont know your backround but,never try to buy someones love. never give or give up something you cant "just walk away" from. yea its a hard lifelesson when you get your heart & wallet ripped. o well,dont be bitter.next time you will know better(hopefully)
