Thoughts on V Day


Why do men hate Valentine's Day?

It is because of all the pressure on them to do something special.

Why is there so much pressure and why does it all fall on the guy?

Because of the commercialization of the holiday, and.... well that's a tough one
Maybe because women are better at showing their love in general, so on the day to celebrate love, it's really time for the guy to step it up and make up for all the other times in the year when he may have fallen short. That's not to say that us women don't fall short; we definitely do, all the time.

I think it's pretty unfair, the way us women expect so much on Valentine's day. It's not about what your man can do for you; it should be about how you love each other and show it. But not competitively. As Jay Pritchett says "You can't win Valentine's day!"

But back to the commercialization thing: there's so much out there today that says you have to spend money to show love. My friend, Steve, asked me last week "Why do girls love jewelry and diamonds?" I jokingly responded "Oh, don't you know? You're love is measured by how much money you spend."

Anyway, the point of all this is: Valentine's day is unfair to men. Women, it's time to step up and do something loving for your man.
