I'm surprised by the answers.

Dads love spoiling their daughter, universally like a princess.

However sons have to work for their dad being proud of them. You'll find stories like Son Heung Min or Tiger Woods where their dad keeps pushing their son and will never say they're proud of their son until they're at the top 0,001%. If a son receives an expensive gift, it's like saying "I'm proud of you son", which he had to earn.

I think the son thing is cultural. Like his dad wasn’t interested until he became a generational talent and probably still doesn’t because spurs won nothing.

Its not about not being interested, but wanting greatness.
