Remember Tommorow is Prove How Much You Love Me Day

Roar is right that a lot of women do think that way. He's just digging deeper as to why Valentine's day exists in the first place, and he's right that for lots of women, this is their outlook. Otherwise why would Valentine's day exist?

The thing is that this trait (of wanting a man of perceived high status) is undesirable to a lot of men (myself included) who think the whole thing is BS, and that being able to boast to your friends about how much your boyfriend or husband 'cares' is pretty pathetic. But it does happen, so the key is to find a woman who doesn't think that way.

Dismissing any discussion of that as RedPill nonsense on the basis that 'my wife is happy to get nothing' is pretty stupid.

I'm sure it happens.

I just wouldn't be in a relationship with someone like that.

It's just a load of retail driven rubbish these days just like Easter, Halloween and Christmas. We don't do Valentines day as we don't need a "special" day to say how much we love each other.

In the old days when I started courting my future wife (1974), Valentines Day was only for people who didn't know they fancied each other.
In other words you fancy that girl, you buy her a card and she has no idea who sent it.
It was never for people who were already in a relationship.
 
Got the other half a card that simply read “no need to make a wish - I already came true”. On the inside it just said “wooo I remembered!!!”

I got nothing.

:(
 
My wife didn't even know it's Valentine's day until I gave her a card. She then had to double check with me whether it's western or Chinese Valentine's day. I think it's safe to say she's not overly fussed about either :p

That's what it was like when I was at school in the 80's early 90's, you sent a card to the person you liked with a ? for who it was from.

Now, like everything else it's all about retail sales.
 
my wife would instantly become suspicious if I made an overtly romantic gesture and assume I had done something...or bought something

I'll never forget my Mum back in 1986 saying that she thought my Dad had got another woman because he had bought his own underpants and socks.
She was right.

But many men will quite happily boast about it if their GF will give BJs on command and isn't completely against poop shoot sex. So swings and roundabouts IMO.

:)


Personally don't have a problem with doing something nice for a loved one on valentines day.

It's not really about Women boasting, though I'm sure some do, it's just Women talk about what they got or didn't get. And it's better for her to be able to say she got a card than she got nothing. I mean a card is 5 minutes of your life and £3. If you both have no interest in Valentines day then fair enough, if your Mrs would like one or is quite obviously lying when she says she's not bothered (which she has to say if you've disappointed her for the past God knows how many years) then just get her a ******* card, I'm sure the ROI will make it worth while

Are you referring to physical gifts or the second part of your sentence there? :D
