Not all, but most of them are. BEWARE of the free gift.
"Sign up for a Visa card today and get your free gift!"
So you sign up to get the free teddy bear that you could pick up for 5 or 10 bucks at any store only to find out the credit card has a $125 annual fee and you're paying 20% interest on anything you purchase.
The free gift sounded nice IN THE MOMENT, but afterwards you realized you payed 100 times or more what the value of the free gift was. It's the same with women. Let's say you meet a new woman. She buys you a nice sweater and a pair of jeans, right? Sweet! She's awesome! Well, it may have been a genuine, kind gesture in the moment, but you're still going to wind up paying out at least 100 times the value of that free gift if you get into a long-term relationship. You see, the terms and conditions that most women have in their heads when it comes to long-term relationships is that the man has to pay for everything while SHE doesn't have to pay for anything.
Yes, it's a good sign for a woman to give you a gift. Just realize that, even though one of the prerequisites for determining whether or not a woman is a giver instead of a taker, is that she give to you too, just because she gives you a gift doesn't mean that in the grand scheme of things that she isn't someone with entitlement issues who will give MINIMALLY compared to the massive sacrifices you made. Whether she is aware of it or not, the gift can sometimes cause a man to make bad judgements by falsely assuming that she is a giver that will contribute substantially to the relationship financially, maybe making the man's burden a little bit lighter. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS. Keep your eyes open and continue observing her ongoing behavior.
Remember, a woman's expectations in relationships, most of the time, is one where the man does all of the work while she gets to enjoy the fruits of his labor. Her contributions to helping YOU will be MINIMAL in many cases. Enjoy and appreciate what you're given, but still keep your eyes open and look for any warning signals of entitlement issues.
