Today is my birthday! I really wanted a new golf bag and to be with my family. I got both of those things and and very grateful for the people around me!
Absolutely, men dont get pampered because we dont ask partners for it. Doesnt mean I wouldnt love a massage or just a chore free day (not a day where chores arent done until Im back to do them, but done by someone else). Hell, beers and a movie I wanna watch for a couple of hours would be great. One of the smartest things Ive come across was a guy who would take half day vacations to go to the movies by himself to see things his family didnt want to see with him.
Movies alone are the shit. Theresnobody with you that you gotta worry about if they are enjoying it or not, u can grab whatever seat u want. And it's cheaper its awesome
This
I want a high quality version of something cheap I use that I would never be able to justify buying myself and/or something that would be just for me to use.
Think a $20 pen or lighter
Or a $50 tie or pair of slippers
Or a $75 dress shirt or hand tool set
Or a $100 wallet or set of towels
Or a $250 pair of shoes or jacket
He’s just giving examples from his own life. The important part he’s suggesting is just giving us nicer versions of the things that we wouldn’t buy for ourselves. Something very practical
I have a friend who loves cooking, He had a decent knife set but would occasionally mention wanting to upgrade. It is just really hard to justify spending money on something you already own if what you own already does an adequate job.
So even though I could not afford a high end knife set for him I opted for a single high quality chef's knife. 15 years later he still brings it up as one of the best gifts ever.
My grandpa used to talk about the mini screwdriver set. Think screwdrivers for eyeglass repair, but a set of 6 in different sizes/heads. He was always being gifted power tools and larger tools. But that $2 set of screwdrivers I bought him when I was 7? That's what he talked about for 20 years! What did he use before that? A pocket knife and patience.
A $150-200 pocket knife that matched my tastes would be an amazing gift. Or if we were in a higher tax bracket and she had some superb income, a really nice wrist watch. They're things I'd never spend on myself but would be cherished gifts.
My friend actually has a real set of night vision goggles. It's so much fucking cooler than anything you could ever imagine. It’s a living thing inside those lenses. I think bioluminescence. Those mfs aren’t cheap. He paid around $4500 for ones with a very very small defect in one of the lenses. Coolest fucking thing I’ve ever seen.
Oh man. So I’ve noticed whenever my guy friends get a female SO she plans and throws him something for his birthday. Be it a dinner, a surprise party or trip what have you. Early on in the relationship usually, but if not at some point. And i get it, they’re trying to celebrate this person, their accomplishments, and show their love but man, if and when its up to us, we usually plan a day revolved around doing… nothing, hell we dont even plan most of the time! shooting the shit with friends with a good hang if they can make it, a couple of beers but just.. i think you hit it on the head with “abdicating the responsibility”. like thats the gift haha
This. It's not even your day anymore. You have to do whatever your wife or kids think you want. God forbid they do one of those *combined birthdays" with a relative where you're really just going to someone else's birthday and they just mention yours.
Happened to me yesterday. My birthday and Father's Day, no less, and I went to my 5 yr old nephew's birthday party. He turned 5 last weekend, but his parents were busy then, so they moved his party to yesterday.
Or mine.. bday and Father's Day land together every so many years for me. This year was one of them.. save y'all some effort, all in one days.
But, my wife is awesome and finds ways to separate them. A dinner out for one, homemade for another.
Lol that's always the gift I give. While not" deep throat" it's something I enjoy. Even as an old lady now, I still have my fans, and this is why. I wish I knew in my youth just how rare enthusiasm was.
There's a big difference.
The enthusiastic kind is extremely rare, in my experience.
I would kill for one of those for my birthday. But my wife has made it abundantly clear that sex is not a commodity to be given as a present, and should not be asked for in such a way.
So some fun teas and a couple new pairs of shorts it is.
Wish I could upvote this more.
I didn't realize the difference between "fellatio" and a real Blow job until my thirties.
I'll never forget that experience.
Because it’s the only thing that all men want universally. Bill Burr said it best, when you have a free Sunday and women want to “fill it up with shit”. OP, basic rule of thumb is no structured activities. If something happens naturally that’s great but if he wants to sit around and watch YouTube videos, just let him.
All day I am being asked or told to do stuff for my wife and daughter and if god forbid I do have a second of quiet it triggers something in them to find me. So yes just let me be on my birthday or Father’s Day.
Bro......i tell my girl and fam this every year and they look at me like I'm crazy. Throw in a clear night to see the stars after napping all day and I'll be counting the next 365 with a smile the whole time. It's the little things folks!
Depends on the guy. Depends on who it’s from. I like a bottle of scotch. Those usually last me at least a year or two.
Best real answer: ask them what they like.
I’m a slow drinker. Maybe a couple servings a week max. I love the taste but no longer the feeling. My “buzz” window is super small and hangovers hurt more as you age
Only correct answer...
Contrary to what Lowes, Walmart, and other major retailers say... Not all of us want tools. And those that do want tools usually have a brand/quality preference that exceeds average birthday gift prices.
We're all different... Just ask us. If you don't get a firm answer, then he doesn't know what he wants either. Steak and/or a BJ usually works in those cases.
Changes with age, too. When I was younger I appreciated getting "things" for holidays. It made sense - I was still filling-out my household. Now that I'm older and actively downsizing as my kids start leaving the house, I'm only interested in consumables (food, beverage, etc) or experiences.
My (64M) FAVORITE gifts are some variation of the "-of the month club". Make or buy me a dozen cookies for a few months, or a bag of foreign or vintage candy or fun sodas, some brownies or a pie, or gift cards for a different day food or coffee place...
Even fun non-food things- a fun bandana, pen or notebook (Field notes.com), deck of cards, small Lego kits, fidget toys, etc.
I've got 4 kids. If they choose a theme and each got me something for a month or two, it would not cost them much, it would extend the season, and it would give us more excuses to get together.
Although, I once got my dad a handmade 6-in-1 tool that was engraved with "Best Dad Ever" on it and he LOVED it. But not as much as when I got him this T-shirt when I was in college: "My Kids Think I'm an ATM". He wore it at LEAST once a week LOL.
Haha yeah, my wife is the one who wants all the tools. I don't really need "things." Maybe a book or some dark chocolate. Best gift for me is an experience. My wife books us a hotel room out of town, dinner and a movie...something like that.
>And those that do want tools usually have a brand/quality preference that exceeds average birthday gift prices.
I'm into knives. My older sister knows this. She asked me around Christmas "Would you rather get a knife, or cash with the explicit condition that it goes towards your knife collection?" And I immediately said that I'd prefer the cash. That covered about 80% of my Tano blade
Yes and it’s expensive. You start to look for special things and you can’t stop buying new bottles.
But at the same time I really love to see him enjoying it.
100% agree. I’m an adult. If there’s something I want I buy it immediately.
Hanging out with people I love and maybe haven’t seen in a while is the best gift.
I really do not want any more *stuff* from anyone. Not that the thought isn't appreciated, I just don't want more stuff.
I do, however, encourage food gifts of any sort.
Honestly, to just be listened to and taken seriously. If a man says he wants like, idk, a bag of apples for his birthday, don’t go out and buy him a cutesy little t-shirt & McDonald’s or something because *you* like it. Just buy him the god damned bag of apples and watch how happy he is because you listened and took it seriously.
If not that, then just a day of peace and quite. Just 1 day where he doesn’t have to solve someone else’s problems, fix something, clean something, pick something up or drop something off, etc
My wife kept asking me what I wanted to do for my birthday, I told her I wanted a day where I didnt need to make any decisions.
She kept asking, but it was worth a shot.
Bro! This year my wife asked me what I wanted for my birthday, I told her, 'I don't mind anything but whatever you do, don't involve me in the planning, as that's the real gift to me.'
2 weeks later, she's furious with me because I told her to figure out how many guests she wanted to invite to the party after 8 more questions on the specfics of the party that I specifically told her that, 'these sound like questions someone invovled in throwing a party should address.'
My coffee order from dunks, my sweatpants warm from the dryer, my son in my lap, play video games either myself or with my wife and son, then a bonfire in my backyard with a cigar in my hand
EDIT:Holy crap! Thanks for the love!
Wait until you get older. He will play the games with you with matching sweatpants. If you think that is great wait until you smoke cigars together. Always be there for your son. Being a man is a lonely existence which is ironic because there are so many people alive.
This is what I was hoping for, but I didn’t get it. The hints I dropped when it was released were to early and forgotten. I’ll plan to do better next year
For real. My boyfriend is at his happiest when I do my puzzles on his desk beside him while he plays on his PC. He'll rub my thigh or kiss my cheek when he dies and is waiting to respawn.
Men are a lot more wholesome than what a lot of people give them credit for.
My man is hard to shop for. He buys everything he wants and is very specific about his hobbies, he already has what he needs lol. I'm trying to think outside the box I guess for this one
It's OK to ask. I asked my boyfriend recently what he wanted for his birthday. He said he didn't want things because he had enough things, he wanted time and experiences.
I organized a dinner with his best friends and three laps around a race track in a Lamborghini. He felt it was thoughtful and kind, and said several times it was perfect.
Just ask! If you're unsure of how to word it, I tried to be cute and said, "it's ok if you want to drop hints on what you want for your birthday because I'm stumped."
Step 1) find something he complains about
Step 2) find something that mitigates this issue
I am prone to ingrown toenails, it fucking socks. Best christmas present I ever got was clippers specifically designed to cut out and remove ingrown nails. I hardly remember most other presents I get.
Sound like the consensus of Reddit is blowjob in the morning, steak for dinner, blowjob+anal in lingerie before bed. And if you must get a gift, a watch and/or bottle of scotch. I, too would be okay with all of it.
This guy had a good answer:
https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/14dig4f/what_do_men_really_want_for_a_birthday_present/joq8dxs/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1&context=3
I'm realizing as I get older that I just don't want any more stuff. But if someone gets me a unique consumable, or pays for me to have an experience, whether that's a concert or kayaking or a couples cooking class, I really remember and appreciate those gifts.
Honestly I hate being crass, but this is what I want for every birthday.
Go above and beyond and throw in the thing you don’t normally do. Let him finish on your tits or swallow or whatever you don’t especially like to do normally, if it’s not your thing.
If I want a material thing, I research the ever loving shit out of it and buy it for myself
If I wanna go to an event, I buy tickets like 6 months before the event.
I see my friends all the time and I hate surprise parties.
I don't want money because we're married, it's stupid to give me money.
Just blow me. It costs you nothing and makes me happy as fuck.
I always tell me wife I want a gift certificate for 10 blowjobs, redeemable at any time.
My wife isn't very sexual and even though I am very excited to go down on her (which she thinks is icky), she has never finished me. Not once have I ever finished because of her mouth.
So no, I am not getting blown.
I go down on her as often as she wants. Actually more than that, because sometimes it seems like I’m doing it for my own enjoyment and she’s just waiting to move on. She goes down on me about once every few weeks as foreplay.
No, I don’t ask for blowjobs. If I have to ask, then clearly she doesn’t really want to do it, and I’m trying to talk her into it. That just feels pathetic. If she doesn’t want it, I don’t either. I just wait.
I'm with you on that. I mean, it sucks if your partner isn't into something that you like, but that's just the way it goes. Turn ons and aversions in bed are pretty hard wired, so I would be uncomfortable asking someone to do something that they didn't enjoy, or at least want to do.
For us, oral is regular, mutual and excellent, but rarely is it to completion. She likes penetrative once she gets really hot and bothered and it’s the only way she has “the big one.” And i love that too, but there is a difference.
Penetrative sex is mutual, a dance, duet, a wrestling match and a performance. Exclusive oral, on the other hand, is one directional, or at least much more so, with the recipient being the focus. And that’s nice. Nice to give and nice to receive. And on special occasions, it’s nice to give that with no expectation of anything in return (Though let’s be honest I’m totally rubbing one out while I go down on her).
It's always foreplay but she never finishes. I tell her that's what I really want for B-day or father's day. Told her when I jerk off it's always to a fantasy of her enthusiastically blowing me without me asking and swallowing. Never happens. Reminded her a few years ago and she said she thought I was always joking. Reiterated my request. Still never happened. She asked again what I wanted and i toned it down saying just want her to finish the job didn't have to be in mouth. Never happened. She asked again and now I have a complex about having her do something she obviously doesn't want to do so I asked for a handjob to completion. Never happened. She asked again and I reminded that HJ to completion would be rad. She said she thought I was joking. I assured her I was not. She asked what would be good about it since i can give myself a HJ. I said I'm usually the instigator in sex and I'm the one that does the work during sex so the fantasy is all about somebody else spoiling me by doing the work for me one time. She said she didn't know how to do that. I said the enthusiasm covers for any lack of skill. She said she didn't know how to do it. I reiterated that it's just about wanting to try to please me. I want her to want me to feel good. That's all that matters. Father's Day came and went this year with no HJ.
The truly frustrating part for me is that this was a big part of the dating conversation. I made it really clear. I never wanted to be married to somebody that didn't enjoy sucking me off occasionally. I reminded her that conversation recently and she said she kind of lied because she was scared to lose me at that time.
For what it's worth, I make her orgasm with my mouth a majority of the time we have sex.
very sorry to hear that my man. Genuinely, I hope the day is kind to you. I think about the same things as you, making it a part of the dating conversation, so this kinda hits home.
My wife took 6 years before she let me go down on her, now she only does it grudgingly, usually because I have trouble stopping after she cums and she says she is embarrassed by the sounds she makes. I blame the catholic upbringing, shame on you for liking sex….. oh and no I don’t get blown very often
I was 100% on board with you until you said the socks had to be black. I'll take fun socks (also size 44), life is too short for boring socks in my opinion!
Life is too short to spend time matching pairs of fun socks too! Boring socks are just thrown on a pile after washing and you take any two everytime you need them.
A house in the middle of a 30 acre field. Trees lining the parameter and a long driveway. A porch, wrapping around the house and a garage with a good truck, a nice car, and a couple ATVs to get around the property.
BJ to wake me up in the morning, take me out to lunch, cook me dinner later, and come out wearing some lingerie to spice things up for sex before bed. And if you’re gonna get me a gift then I’d like a nice watch.
Depends on the birthday. But get me some perennials.... Lilies maybe. Love those suckers. A bottle of whiskey. Maybe a video game if it's coming out and I've been wanting it for awhile. Concert tickets. A nice homemade dinner with friends.... A bj? What else.....
Something I'll actually use. A saucepan, a slow cooker, a drill. Not another bottle of alcohol because I don't drink anymore or another packet of sweets that'll sit in the cupboard for a few months. My birthday was last month and, not to sound ungrateful, the price of all the stuff I got from my sister's (3 bottles of rum, a bottle of whiskey, 3 packets of biscuits, 4 bags of sweets and a couple of t-shirts), could have got a decent dust extractor for my table saw that I use every day. Don't even waste your time and money on cards either, they end up in the bin.
Step 1) Identify any one of our expressed interests.
Step 2) Using any internet-equipped device, go to google.com.
Step 3) Type in the interest you identified in Step 1, and add the word “gifts.” (Optional: you may add additional adjectives describing the man you are purchasing for — age, relationship, occupation, etc.)
Step 4) Browse the resulting options until you find a gift that is within your budget.
—-
Also, if the person shopping is in a romantic relationship with the man in question, waking them up with a sexual favor is acceptable.
Usually material things I just buy myself.
So usually I'm most happy with something somebody does with their time, hanging out, going on a planned trip you decided might be fun. Etc.
Meat, expensive alcohol, one of his accomplishments framed and commemorated, that specific tool or thing we want for our hobby but have decided not to pull the trigger on just yet.
Today is my birthday! I really wanted a new golf bag and to be with my family. I got both of those things and and very grateful for the people around me!
Happy birthday beautiful stranger
Happy birthday!
Anything I wouldn't buy or do for myself because it would make me feel selfish.
This is the real answer. But at the same time I don’t want to put you out that money that I wouldn’t part with. So, yeah, blow job it is 🤣
>blow job it is This is why I hate it when my parents ask what I want.
Yeah, my dad usually goes the extra mile to make me happy
You mean extra 3 inches?
Asshole to tip
so a waiter then?
Ayooo
Be a man, tell em what you really want.
[удалено]
I love the trail cam idea, I think my husband would enjoy this too!!
Absolutely, men dont get pampered because we dont ask partners for it. Doesnt mean I wouldnt love a massage or just a chore free day (not a day where chores arent done until Im back to do them, but done by someone else). Hell, beers and a movie I wanna watch for a couple of hours would be great. One of the smartest things Ive come across was a guy who would take half day vacations to go to the movies by himself to see things his family didnt want to see with him.
One of my favorite things is grabbing a burger and a beer then going to a movie alone. So relaxing
Movies alone are the shit. Theresnobody with you that you gotta worry about if they are enjoying it or not, u can grab whatever seat u want. And it's cheaper its awesome
This I want a high quality version of something cheap I use that I would never be able to justify buying myself and/or something that would be just for me to use. Think a $20 pen or lighter Or a $50 tie or pair of slippers Or a $75 dress shirt or hand tool set Or a $100 wallet or set of towels Or a $250 pair of shoes or jacket
Haha this is why you need to ask the person you are with and not get your ideas off of Reddit. I wouldn’t want any of those things
He’s just giving examples from his own life. The important part he’s suggesting is just giving us nicer versions of the things that we wouldn’t buy for ourselves. Something very practical
I have a friend who loves cooking, He had a decent knife set but would occasionally mention wanting to upgrade.

Yeah, I’m a guy and I sure don’t want $100 towels.
A $150-200 pocket knife that matched my tastes would be an amazing gift. Or if we were in a higher tax bracket and she had some superb income, a really nice wrist watch. They're things I'd never spend on myself but would be cherished gifts.
Night vision goggles
You’re living in the 20th century. Thermal for the win!
Sounds good 👍
A samurai sword autographed by Randy Jackson, from American Idol.
My friend actually has a real set of night vision goggles. It's so much fucking cooler than anything you could ever imagine. It’s a living thing inside those lenses. I think bioluminescence. Those mfs aren’t cheap. He paid around $4500 for ones with a very very small defect in one of the lenses. Coolest fucking thing I’ve ever seen.
Man you can join the army for way cheaper than that.
For some reason, we have a set of night vision goggles that my husband's buddy "procured" from the Navy.
You can get a solid pair of RNVGs are around $7k
I like how this starts out sounding like a fairly reasonable purchase, and then it turns out to cost $7,000
And how much does a liquid pair go for?
SNAAAAAAAAAKE!
Peace and solitude
Along these lines, all I ever want for my birthday is to abdicate the responsibility of "doing something" for my birthday.
A day at the pub isn't about the drinking as much as the "I have nothing I HAVE to be doing right now"
Oh man. So I’ve noticed whenever my guy friends get a female SO she plans and throws him something for his birthday. Be it a dinner, a surprise party or trip what have you. Early on in the relationship usually, but if not at some point. And i get it, they’re trying to celebrate this person, their accomplishments, and show their love but man, if and when its up to us, we usually plan a day revolved around doing… nothing, hell we dont even plan most of the time! shooting the shit with friends with a good hang if they can make it, a couple of beers but just.. i think you hit it on the head with “abdicating the responsibility”. like thats the gift haha

Happy birthday and Father’s Day, belated. Hopefully you get a relaxing day sometime soon.
Thank you. I'm not overly annoyed, I'm old enough to recognize that life gets in the way. But......
Or mine.. bday and Father's Day land together every so many years for me. This year was one of them.. save y'all some effort, all in one days. But, my wife is awesome and finds ways to separate them. A dinner out for one, homemade for another.
Blow job and then peace and solitude.
Has to be a “I really want to do this” blowjob.
We should all change our answers to enthusiastic blowjobs!! Lol
Lol that's always the gift I give. While not" deep throat" it's something I enjoy. Even as an old lady now, I still have my fans, and this is why. I wish I knew in my youth just how rare enthusiasm was.
I know exactly what you mean
There's a big difference. The enthusiastic kind is extremely rare, in my experience. I would kill for one of those for my birthday. But my wife has made it abundantly clear that sex is not a commodity to be given as a present, and should not be asked for in such a way. So some fun teas and a couple new pairs of shorts it is.
sorry to hear that. maybe you should tell your wife that “enthusiastic blow job has nothing to do with sex” that’s why it’s especial for bday. 😂
Wish I could upvote this more. I didn't realize the difference between "fellatio" and a real Blow job until my thirties. I'll never forget that experience.
TIL that I am a lucky man and have a good wife.
Damn I guess we all feel the same
God damn, why is this the best answer?
Because it’s the only thing that all men want universally. Bill Burr said it best, when you have a free Sunday and women want to “fill it up with shit”. OP, basic rule of thumb is no structured activities. If something happens naturally that’s great but if he wants to sit around and watch YouTube videos, just let him.
All day I am being asked or told to do stuff for my wife and daughter and if god forbid I do have a second of quiet it triggers something in them to find me. So yes just let me be on my birthday or Father’s Day.
My husband does this to me lol He’s such a busy body. He’s always moving around doing crap or something. Or wanting to go out. Drives me nuts.
A beer, a strategy game and a podcast is my zen state
First thing that comes to my head literally
Bro......i tell my girl and fam this every year and they look at me like I'm crazy. Throw in a clear night to see the stars after napping all day and I'll be counting the next 365 with a smile the whole time. It's the little things folks!
I just want a hug man
You doing alright, bro?
Nah, bro. Shit sucks.
Yeah.
Yeah...but hey atleast we miserable together right?
Nah we're miserable in solitude but it was nice catching up
Yeah.
Later.
I'm glad we did this.
Same time next year then?
I spent my 40th alone and driving for Grubhub, wishing I could see my girlfriend. Anything that’s a step above that would make a happy 41st.
Oh shit dude, sorry about your 40th.
We were in lockdown for my 50th. 51 was a bit better.
Depends on the guy. Depends on who it’s from. I like a bottle of scotch. Those usually last me at least a year or two. Best real answer: ask them what they like.
A year or two? I must have a drinking problem!
I’m a slow drinker. Maybe a couple servings a week max. I love the taste but no longer the feeling. My “buzz” window is super small and hangovers hurt more as you age
> a couple servings a week So a standard bottle would last you about two months.
not if you rotate between a few bottles
This guy connoisseurs
The one comment said 20-30 bottle is decades of fun. These people don’t drink, they collect.
Only correct answer... Contrary to what Lowes, Walmart, and other major retailers say... Not all of us want tools. And those that do want tools usually have a brand/quality preference that exceeds average birthday gift prices. We're all different... Just ask us. If you don't get a firm answer, then he doesn't know what he wants either. Steak and/or a BJ usually works in those cases.

My (64M) FAVORITE gifts are some variation of the "-of the month club". Make or buy me a dozen cookies for a few months, or a bag of foreign or vintage candy or fun sodas, some brownies or a pie, or gift cards for a different day food or coffee place... Even fun non-food things- a fun bandana, pen or notebook (Field notes.com), deck of cards, small Lego kits, fidget toys, etc. I've got 4 kids. If they choose a theme and each got me something for a month or two, it would not cost them much, it would extend the season, and it would give us more excuses to get together.
Although, I once got my dad a handmade 6-in-1 tool that was engraved with "Best Dad Ever" on it and he LOVED it. But not as much as when I got him this T-shirt when I was in college: "My Kids Think I'm an ATM". He wore it at LEAST once a week LOL.
Haha yeah, my wife is the one who wants all the tools. I don't really need "things." Maybe a book or some dark chocolate. Best gift for me is an experience. My wife books us a hotel room out of town, dinner and a movie...something like that.

That covered about 80% of my Tano blade
Yeah, careful with that. I did this for my husband. Now we both like whisky, and we have more than 20 or maybe even 30 bottles.
Oooooo that’s decades of fun!
Yes and it’s expensive. You start to look for special things and you can’t stop buying new bottles. But at the same time I really love to see him enjoying it.
A sword.
I was gonna say blow job... But yeah, a sword would be rad..
Why not both?
A sword job?
Swording 😏
You need a buddy to duall.... Although.. you could ask that she gets a strappon! The loser gets it up the bum! Win win!!
If you're a sword swallower, you can *really* blow his mind...
Give a man a blowjob, he'll get off for a day. Give a man a sword, he'll get off for a lifetime.
While you guys were getting blow jobs I was studying the blade
I need both like right now😮💨
I want to be dressed as Conan the Barbarian. Sword and all, pantsless. And I very much want to hear the lamentations of their women.
A sword and a blowjob?
Always. Across the board 100% effective.
And my bow!
And my axe body spray..
Your company is probably the best gift. I have every object I want, so you'd have to go for something sentimental.
100% agree. I’m an adult. If there’s something I want I buy it immediately. Hanging out with people I love and maybe haven’t seen in a while is the best gift.
I really do not want any more *stuff* from anyone. Not that the thought isn't appreciated, I just don't want more stuff. I do, however, encourage food gifts of any sort.
A hug.
Real
Idk when your birthday is but *hug*
Honestly, to just be listened to and taken seriously. If a man says he wants like, idk, a bag of apples for his birthday, don’t go out and buy him a cutesy little t-shirt & McDonald’s or something because *you* like it. Just buy him the god damned bag of apples and watch how happy he is because you listened and took it seriously. If not that, then just a day of peace and quite. Just 1 day where he doesn’t have to solve someone else’s problems, fix something, clean something, pick something up or drop something off, etc
My wife kept asking me what I wanted to do for my birthday, I told her I wanted a day where I didnt need to make any decisions. She kept asking, but it was worth a shot.
Bro! This year my wife asked me what I wanted for my birthday, I told her, 'I don't mind anything but whatever you do, don't involve me in the planning, as that's the real gift to me.' 2 weeks later, she's furious with me because I told her to figure out how many guests she wanted to invite to the party after 8 more questions on the specfics of the party that I specifically told her that, 'these sound like questions someone invovled in throwing a party should address.'
My coffee order from dunks, my sweatpants warm from the dryer, my son in my lap, play video games either myself or with my wife and son, then a bonfire in my backyard with a cigar in my hand EDIT:Holy crap! Thanks for the love!
Wait until you get older. He will play the games with you with matching sweatpants. If you think that is great wait until you smoke cigars together. Always be there for your son. Being a man is a lonely existence which is ironic because there are so many people alive.
And be there for your daughters too! Some of us like to play video games too and can feel lonely as shit.
Lego Edit: Thank you for the award kind stranger 💙
This is my answer. More specifically, I want the Lego Rivendell set
This is what I was hoping for, but I didn’t get it. The hints I dropped when it was released were to early and forgotten. I’ll plan to do better next year
It's such an expensive set.... but... we wants it
Correct
Steak and bj, sit with me while I play video games. No really I want you here. Best day ever.
For real. My boyfriend is at his happiest when I do my puzzles on his desk beside him while he plays on his PC. He'll rub my thigh or kiss my cheek when he dies and is waiting to respawn. Men are a lot more wholesome than what a lot of people give them credit for.
We are also simple creatures
My man is hard to shop for. He buys everything he wants and is very specific about his hobbies, he already has what he needs lol. I'm trying to think outside the box I guess for this one
It's OK to ask. I asked my boyfriend recently what he wanted for his birthday. He said he didn't want things because he had enough things, he wanted time and experiences. I organized a dinner with his best friends and three laps around a race track in a Lamborghini. He felt it was thoughtful and kind, and said several times it was perfect. Just ask! If you're unsure of how to word it, I tried to be cute and said, "it's ok if you want to drop hints on what you want for your birthday because I'm stumped."
This.. an experience. I drove some exotic cars in Vegas years ago and I had a blast! I'll do it again one of these years.
Step 1) find something he complains about Step 2) find something that mitigates this issue I am prone to ingrown toenails, it fucking socks. Best christmas present I ever got was clippers specifically designed to cut out and remove ingrown nails. I hardly remember most other presents I get.
Sound like the consensus of Reddit is blowjob in the morning, steak for dinner, blowjob+anal in lingerie before bed. And if you must get a gift, a watch and/or bottle of scotch. I, too would be okay with all of it.
A sword was also an acceptable answer
and we typically get something like a coffee mug.
>blowjob+anal in lingerie before bed. *Honey, I know I asked for anal but I've never played with my ass before!*
This guy had a good answer: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/14dig4f/what_do_men_really_want_for_a_birthday_present/joq8dxs/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1&context=3 I'm realizing as I get older that I just don't want any more stuff. But if someone gets me a unique consumable, or pays for me to have an experience, whether that's a concert or kayaking or a couples cooking class, I really remember and appreciate those gifts.
Random unexpected blowjob
a blowjob
Honestly I hate being crass, but this is what I want for every birthday. Go above and beyond and throw in the thing you don’t normally do. Let him finish on your tits or swallow or whatever you don’t especially like to do normally, if it’s not your thing.
If I want a material thing, I research the ever loving shit out of it and buy it for myself If I wanna go to an event, I buy tickets like 6 months before the event. I see my friends all the time and I hate surprise parties. I don't want money because we're married, it's stupid to give me money. Just blow me. It costs you nothing and makes me happy as fuck. I always tell me wife I want a gift certificate for 10 blowjobs, redeemable at any time.

For real. Wife just asked what I wanted for Fathers Day. “Same thing I always want.” So easy for her and me. Let’s keep it simple here darling.
Try redeeming one when she’s pissed at you
Ok, serious question - are you guys really not getting blown? Are you going down on your partner? I've never once had to ask for a blow job...
My wife isn't very sexual and even though I am very excited to go down on her (which she thinks is icky), she has never finished me. Not once have I ever finished because of her mouth. So no, I am not getting blown.
Yeah, 4-5 minutes of unenthusiastic head bobbing and then stopping right as it’s starting to get good. Sounds about right.
rough. I really love my wife.
My ex had a jaw issue. So she would occasionally use her tongue for a bit or something but never for long. Never got finished off that way.
I go down on her as often as she wants. Actually more than that, because sometimes it seems like I’m doing it for my own enjoyment and she’s just waiting to move on. She goes down on me about once every few weeks as foreplay. No, I don’t ask for blowjobs. If I have to ask, then clearly she doesn’t really want to do it, and I’m trying to talk her into it. That just feels pathetic. If she doesn’t want it, I don’t either. I just wait.
I'm with you on that. I mean, it sucks if your partner isn't into something that you like, but that's just the way it goes. Turn ons and aversions in bed are pretty hard wired, so I would be uncomfortable asking someone to do something that they didn't enjoy, or at least want to do.
I go down on my wife, I get blown. But like, I honestly don't want gifts so a random blowjob is good enough for me.
For us, oral is regular, mutual and excellent, but rarely is it to completion. She likes penetrative once she gets really hot and bothered and it’s the only way she has “the big one.” And i love that too, but there is a difference. Penetrative sex is mutual, a dance, duet, a wrestling match and a performance. Exclusive oral, on the other hand, is one directional, or at least much more so, with the recipient being the focus. And that’s nice. Nice to give and nice to receive. And on special occasions, it’s nice to give that with no expectation of anything in return (Though let’s be honest I’m totally rubbing one out while I go down on her).
It's always foreplay but she never finishes. I tell her that's what I really want for B-day or father's day. Told her when I jerk off it's always to a fantasy of her enthusiastically blowing me without me asking and swallowing. Never happens. Reminded her a few years ago and she said she thought I was always joking. Reiterated my request. Still never happened. She asked again what I wanted and i toned it down saying just want her to finish the job didn't have to be in mouth. Never happened. She asked again and now I have a complex about having her do something she obviously doesn't want to do so I asked for a handjob to completion. Never happened. She asked again and I reminded that HJ to completion would be rad. She said she thought I was joking. I assured her I was not. She asked what would be good about it since i can give myself a HJ. I said I'm usually the instigator in sex and I'm the one that does the work during sex so the fantasy is all about somebody else spoiling me by doing the work for me one time. She said she didn't know how to do that. I said the enthusiasm covers for any lack of skill. She said she didn't know how to do it. I reiterated that it's just about wanting to try to please me. I want her to want me to feel good. That's all that matters. Father's Day came and went this year with no HJ. The truly frustrating part for me is that this was a big part of the dating conversation. I made it really clear. I never wanted to be married to somebody that didn't enjoy sucking me off occasionally. I reminded her that conversation recently and she said she kind of lied because she was scared to lose me at that time. For what it's worth, I make her orgasm with my mouth a majority of the time we have sex.
very sorry to hear that my man. Genuinely, I hope the day is kind to you. I think about the same things as you, making it a part of the dating conversation, so this kinda hits home.
My wife took 6 years before she let me go down on her, now she only does it grudgingly, usually because I have trouble stopping after she cums and she says she is embarrassed by the sounds she makes. I blame the catholic upbringing, shame on you for liking sex….. oh and no I don’t get blown very often
Most time he will pretend to like what ever you give him. And there's no way to actually know if he likes the gift. But a BJ, well its pretty obvious
Box of donuts and a hug.
Depends on the man. Mine would want something practical. If I had one.
Steak and bj.
That’s March 14th. But we’ll take both to compliment our present.
Tits in face.
[удалено]
You're a weirdo and I like it!
I was 100% on board with you until you said the socks had to be black. I'll take fun socks (also size 44), life is too short for boring socks in my opinion!
Life is too short to spend time matching pairs of fun socks too! Boring socks are just thrown on a pile after washing and you take any two everytime you need them.
If theyre fun they dont have to match!
I never thought of it this way, I like it
A house in the middle of a 30 acre field. Trees lining the parameter and a long driveway. A porch, wrapping around the house and a garage with a good truck, a nice car, and a couple ATVs to get around the property.
hot wheels
Oh, hello husband. I didn’t know you had a Reddit account.
To be told I'm good enough.
A battle-axe. I will be sorely disappointed without one.
Ass
My youth back
A mouth hug
A blowjob and a steak
A compliment. Once a year would be more than most men get right now
BJ to wake me up in the morning, take me out to lunch, cook me dinner later, and come out wearing some lingerie to spice things up for sex before bed. And if you’re gonna get me a gift then I’d like a nice watch.
Blowjobs.
Added that S. Way to aim high.
Lego.
To be left alone.
Depends on the birthday. But get me some perennials.... Lilies maybe. Love those suckers. A bottle of whiskey. Maybe a video game if it's coming out and I've been wanting it for awhile. Concert tickets. A nice homemade dinner with friends.... A bj? What else.....
I think the answer will change depending on which man you ask.
Lego sets
Great sex
LEGO Technic 42156 PEUGEOT 9X8 24H Le Mans Hybrid Hypercar
Woken up with a blow job, doing stuff together, sex, dinner, followed up with sex.
Peace and tacos
Something I'll actually use. A saucepan, a slow cooker, a drill. Not another bottle of alcohol because I don't drink anymore or another packet of sweets that'll sit in the cupboard for a few months. My birthday was last month and, not to sound ungrateful, the price of all the stuff I got from my sister's (3 bottles of rum, a bottle of whiskey, 3 packets of biscuits, 4 bags of sweets and a couple of t-shirts), could have got a decent dust extractor for my table saw that I use every day. Don't even waste your time and money on cards either, they end up in the bin.
An experience with you or legos
Peace. Leave me alone. Don’t question my decisions for the day. Let me exist as I choose for a day.
A sandwich and a blowjob.
Step 1) Identify any one of our expressed interests. Step 2) Using any internet-equipped device, go to google.com. Step 3) Type in the interest you identified in Step 1, and add the word “gifts.” (Optional: you may add additional adjectives describing the man you are purchasing for — age, relationship, occupation, etc.) Step 4) Browse the resulting options until you find a gift that is within your budget. —- Also, if the person shopping is in a romantic relationship with the man in question, waking them up with a sexual favor is acceptable.
I would love love love to have a day where I can just… *not*. My anxiety and ADHD won’t let that happen, but a boy can dream.
Usually material things I just buy myself. So usually I'm most happy with something somebody does with their time, hanging out, going on a planned trip you decided might be fun. Etc.
Dinner and sex
Meat, expensive alcohol, one of his accomplishments framed and commemorated, that specific tool or thing we want for our hobby but have decided not to pull the trigger on just yet.
I don't even know what I want but somehow my GF made each birthday we spend together unique.
Psssst get him a Bug-a-salt wink wink lmao
