14th Issue @ Geisha Today How to Choose Presents

Me: “Kawori, which necklace do you think is the best?”
Kawori: “Of course the tanzanite one is the best!!”
Me: “Oh, why? I thought the pink tourmaline one was the best…?”

To my surprise, Kawori chose the one totally unexpected.
Is this only the matter of taste? No.
Everyone who’s got the right taste would choose the pink tourmaline!!
And yet, Kawori normally show her right taste.
She's got to!! Otherwise I’d not trust her for picking my girl’s BD present!!

By this point, I didn’t realize girls and guys see different aspects.
Totally different aspects of things.

- Different aspects of necklace
I asked Kawori why she chose the tanzanite necklace.
She said, “the chain looks cuter.”
The chain!! I didn’t even know it existed!!
And it sure was cuter than the other...
What I saw until then was the head part.

- Girls see the whole, and guys focus on one point
Girls see every details.
So Kawori checked the chain.
Girls notice when guys don’t pay full attention on some parts…immediately.

Like when we wear brand-new Armani suits, but wear one-year-old socks.
They'd immediately put the “uncool” label on us.
Believe me, I pay full attention on pens and pencils, even!!

Guys focus only on one point.
In this case, I saw only the head part.
Not even a glance on other parts.

- Presents for your girls
Guys, check all the details for your girls’ presents, like they'd do.
You need to know we see the different aspects of things from girls.
Otherwise, they won’t like our presents.
Choose something with great details.

If it’s a necklace, pick the one with cute chain.
Of course you need to care about wrappings, too.
Inside counts. That’s only for guys!!
Girls are not like us.

So I bought the tanzanite necklace, following Kawori’s advice.
No choice. The purpose was to satisfy my girl.
Of course, I had to treat Kawori with dinner, which cost half the price of the necklace...
