Remember, if someone says what the gift is, rather than saying how they like the gift, they are being polite.
"Anyone who spends a significant amount of time with me finds me disagreeable."

You've been watching too much Seinfeld.
It CAN be true, but you can also be excited and exclaim exactly what the gift is, because you always wanted it and can't believe you finally have it. I reacted this way with my first computer, for example.
You also have to include body language, tone, gestures, emotional state, etc. This is not a POLITE guy, he's a god damn BANDIT, he would kill you without second thought, so why the F would he _EVER_ be polite?!
Also, pay attention to HOW GENUINELY EXCITED he is! No one would go THAT far to be polite, they would just say the name and move on to another thing. He lingers on the sweater, PROUDLY PRESENTS IT for everyone to see, and screams in excitement like a little child!
Would you EVER go that far about some fake gift?
Also, this sentiment doesn't take into account that there are actual HONEST people that have not lived in the lie-based american materialistic superficial smalltalk-crapculture!
As I said, you have watched too much Seinfeld.
I simply love the fact that all his men went in together to get him a sweater for his birthday.

Stolen from the finest shop in Oaxaca. What can you say about such men?
shareThe fact that he actually liked the sweater made me laugh, and actually kinda like El Guapo.
shareYeah, how can you hate these kinds of bad guys? They clearly weren't THAT bad.
What do you think this is, a signature? It's a way of life!
"Yeah, how can you hate these kinds of bad guys? They clearly weren't THAT bad. "
Yeah, that sweater-thing COMPLETELY overrrides his actions, like KIDNAPPING A WOMAN IN ORDER TO F HER OR KILL HER (or both), DESTROYING A VILLAGE, SHOOTING TO MURDER PEOPLE, EXPLODING BUILDINGS, CREATING IMMENSE DANGER AND TRAUMA IN THE VILLAGE'S PEOPLE...
I mean, being happy about sweater makes it ALL all right, doesn't it! What a sweet guy.
It doesn't matter if you murder, pillage, rob, kill, rape, kidnap - as long as you like a sweater!
Your logic.. I hope to some day live in a world where people with that logic do not exist. Maybe killed by El Guapo - and it's ok, right? After all, he did like a sweater.
That's what I said when I saw David Carridine in Lone Wolf McQuade!
I'm just a guy that likes horror flicks.
How could anybody hate el Guapo after seeing him dance.
shareExactly! That quick shot of him dancing makes me laugh harder than anything else in this movie. Alfonso Arau was a comic genius. He was great in "Romancing The Stone." Also had a great little role as the guy who "procures" cars for Rudy in "Used Cars," one of the great overlooked comic movies of all time.

Truth! Used Cars one of the best overlooked gems of the 80s.
Whose idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have an "S" in it?
His character was consistent and made sense in 'Romancing the Stone', but THIS character was inconsistent and cruel, and if you like his character here, you are a psychopath. LOOK at his actions before you wondering how anyone can hate him.
LOOK AT WHAT HE DID IN THIS MOVIE.
