ROMANTIC TIPS: “The problem with Valentine’s Day (Part 4)”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And one more blog in a (seemingly) never-ending series of relationship tips and romantic insights that have been recommended by 4 out of 5 doctors.

The trouble with Valentine’s Day is that . . . It’s simply unbalanced. I don’t mean mentally unbalanced—although being infatuated does make one a bit mentally unbalanced (but that’s another story)—I mean that Valentine’s Day is economically unbalanced.

Here are the stats: 

• Last year, in America, the average man spent $149 on Valentine’s Day for his gal. 
• Meanwhile, the average women spent $32 on Valentine’s Day for her guy.

Seems unfair to me. Unless, of course, the women’s liberation / feminist movement has been rescinded, and we’re back in 1959. Hold on…Let me check on that—and I’ll get back to you on this tomorrow.

Chief investigator, studying the effects of gender roles on the gift-giving habits of men versus women for Valentine’s Day. Or—If men are from Mars, and women are from Venus, is this a valid rationale for a lack of parity in gift-giving between the genders. 

ROMANTIC TIPS: “The problem with Valentine’s Day (Part 3)”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(And yet) another in a never-ending series of relationship tips and romantic insights that might help—or at least couldn’t hurt— your relationship.

The trouble with Valentine’s Day is that . . . The already-romantic don’t really need it . . . the adamantly-unromantic just don’t want it . . . and the romantically-impaired are annually punished by it. 

Let’s face it: Valentine’s Day simply doesn’t work. If it did, I’d be all for it. 

Let’s give a sucker a break and let these guys off the hook, okay? The dozen roses they buy? A feeble attempt to make up for lost time. The expensive box of Godiva Chocolates? Romance inspired by guilt. 

And let’s have a little more respect for the women. I mean, really, ladies: Are you honestly pleased with roses grudgingly given, with chocolates hastily grabbed, with trinkets ordered on the internet, with a “custom love letter” penned by a hired ghostwriter? Are you really willing to settle for so little? Do you really have so little self-respect? 

You deserve better. He deserves better. Go share a bottle of wine, then talk for a little while, then make love. There. See?? Everybody’s happy.
