Is it generally best to wait until my papas ask something like, “Is there anything you’d like for Christmas?”
This content is machine-translated.
The men I’ve been seeing long-term always skip over Christmas and birthdays, so I probably won’t get anything this year either… (TT)
Would men like that also find it annoying if I said, “Let’s exchange Christmas presents♡,” like I saw in an answer to another question?
Maezawa from the CEO’s office here with an answer as well.
When someone says,
“Let’s exchange gifts♡”
I can’t help feeling a little put off.
For example, if a man says he’s going to prepare a suite for you, you could let him know that isn’t really the kind of thing that makes you happy.
Or, if you’ve prepared a gift for him and would actually like one yourself, try to communicate that tactfully.
Even if you don’t receive anything, you could still give him a gift yourself, or mention at a time unrelated to Christmas that you’d be happy to receive a gift too.
That approach may work better.
It’s certainly not easy, but if the other person has feelings for you, I think there’s still a possibility.
If he doesn’t have feelings for you and the relationship is completely transactional, then I think you first need to consider how to make him fall for you.

I’m Dai, a male member.
I don’t feel particularly romantic about Christmas.
So I’m not interested in exchanging gifts.
“Gift exchange” sounds like a nice way to put it, but it also makes the underlying expectation pretty obvious: if it’s not an equal-value exchange, they’d probably call you cheap.

I think every man has a different perspective, so it’s probably best to wait until he brings it up.
As for saying, “Let’s exchange gifts,” it depends on how you phrase it, but personally, I feel like I might find it annoying.

Nearly all men who are papa (male supporters) have spent their entire lives being unpopular with women, so they have absolutely no fond memories of Christmas.
That’s why the importance of Christmas presents doesn’t really register with them.
So even if you say, “Let’s exchange gifts,” they won’t be happy about it. And since they’re usually seeing multiple girls, Christmas is nothing but terrifying for them.
That’s basically it.
