Hipocracy! why do us guys have to be the one to prove our love. It works both ways but seems that most women (thier are exceptions) feel they dont need to Romance us. dont buy me flowers buy me 10lbs of live rock. Now thats romance. Women tend to be beter at planing romantic dates but they make men plan them and get upset with our idea's. Whats wrong with going to the LFS. then to a sea food restraunt and staring and the live lobsters in the tank for ten minutes SHEEESH.

the sweetest day is my birthday! nobody knows that holiday.... i didn't even know it until i was sent a card a few years back.
i think it's just like any other date night. the guy buys something and the girl gives him some love later. the real players in the game are the retailers though. valentines week sales are 3rd only to the week after thanksgiving and the week before christmas.
shouldn't take a holiday to show your girl you love her. i guess some people forget :notsure:

I heard yesterday that the average man spends close to $90.00 for their significant other and the average women spends $65.00. :scared: Add that up across the nation and someone getting rich!!!

ok, first of all, sweetest day is the dumbest holiday ever... hallmark was tired of the lack of business in October, so they invented a holiday for it... just like mother's day, just like father's day, etc, etc... they also turned valentines day into a big deal. I think it's sweet when the hubby plans something on valentines day, but i would so much rather him plan a day like that on just a normal day... that makes it so much more special because i'm not expecting it... JMO
and valentines day is a day for girls and here's why: guys don't do romantic things (a handful of exceptions), while girls pour their hearts out to their loved ones on a daily basis. For that reason, we only ask for one day out of the year to be romantically planned by the guy... any girl who gets upset because of your "idea" is not worth it, because they cannot see the thought you put into the plan (even if it was thought up in 5 min... that's a lot more than you think normally...). Is it so hard to ask for one single day out of the year without hearing you whine about having to do it??? You shouldn't feel like you HAVE to do it, you should WANT to do it... and any guy that doesn't isn't worth the time either. AND, guys don't want romantic evenings, as was stated before, they're just happy getting tools or fish or something. Girls want romantic things... flowers, candy, teddy bears, cards, etc... it shows that you're thinking about us...
and that may be true, but not for us... i spent 13x's more on my hubby than he did on me...

I second those thoughts Jdragunas!! I hate V-day, it is too comercialized but I hate it even more that my husband cannot take two second out of his day to make a dinner reservation and find a babysitter for the evening, or pick up a little something that he think I might like. If men would take the time to be a bit more romantic then V-Day wouldn't be necessary.
Men don't want romance, they want a roll in the hay and a full belly, EVERYDAY is the the most romantic day for a man. Can't we just have one day where men stop thinking about themselves and do something nice for the women in their lives.

Give me a break and stop your whining. You ladies have more days and receive presents of far more monetary value than guys. The only difference is your presents die or can only be worn on special occasions.

darth, if your woman only gets you socks and ties, get rid of her... i just bought joe a $400 digital camera...
and i don't know any girl that celebrates all of those holidays... i think 95% of them are stupid and shouldn't be celebrated at all!

My point is there are far more holidays where women receive appreciation than man.
Also I get what I need on certain occasions as that is practical. Women for instance get their 500th pair of shoes or piece of jewelry. If a man want's something, he buys it himself. A woman waits for the guy to buy what the want. Thus the reason woman need more appreciation days
Where is the romance you speak and expect from us in giving him a digital camera?
