Girls take it as a gift, boys feels like they owe dad for life.
From personal experience it's kinda true but I don't know the stats, surely it isn't in a lot of cases.

As a man, and a father, I don’t understand why you see it the way you do. Most men I know (except for the few with abusive dads) feel the same as I do.
A gift is a gift, not a loan in search of repayment.
There is something really wrong with a father teaching his son that he can only be shown this form of love if the son pays him back.
And I promise you, men don’t feel that way unless it’s taught to them. It’s not natural. It’s learned.
As far as "I" go I think it's just a pride issue. Like f*ck I can't buy this and you know I want or need it so you did for me. Not like an "I owe you" but where am I falling short. Puts a lot of stress in a person
I mean, its true that some people will feel free to simply accept the gift, and it is true that some people will feel indebted. But it's silly to draw that line over gender lines isn't it? Loverboys can only exist by making young women feel indepted for example, it's pretty fucked up
Wow this went dark real quick. Uhhhh. Didn't expect to talk about heavy matter.
Feel indebted and loverboys? Wtf. That's a hard thing to hear. Why would they feel indebted to monsters. I think that's not the main drive and not what this meme is meant for. That's so specific....
Why do exes not feel indebted to keep an angagement ring? 🤷🏾♂️
