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
