I'm familiar with this pop-psych idea. It does have a degree of credence though. For example, gifts are not important to me. If a long term partner gave me jewelry or flowers on a significant event, I'd be pretty disappointed. I would much rather go out to do something with that person. It's definitely about understanding what your partner values, even if it is kind of a hokey concept.

Agreed. And I would, as a man, really like getting a ring or a watch or clothing as a gift because when I wear it then I can think of who gave it to me and I get to use it every day. As a wise man said, "Different strokes for different folks."
