I took my wife to Punta Cana for 10 days. I'm ok with winter and would be quite happy to stick around, but you know what they say, Happy Wife, Happy Life!
Similar here - Just got back from two weeks in Hawaii on Thursday. 14th was chocolates and a card.Quote:

In her words "I don't get why women are posting this stuff, do they feel the need to show off, brag?, it's only [u]one day, a day that's manufactured[/u}".
My reply was sadly yes. Either because they are Jonesing, or because they feel they aren't special. See it all the time at work, women will proudly display or talk about what their BFs did for them.And women who SOs don't go "the extra mile"? My advice to them is always.
Next time you feel let down, or "embarrassed" by how "little your SO" did. Ask those women who get the whole mile. "What their SO does for them the other 364 days a year."
If people need to VD to show their appreciation.............................
Never have and never will. Then again I've never needed "it"
They expect their flowers and chocolates on VD, I hold off for a while or just pick another day down the road, then they wonder what you've been up to and need forgiveness.
Hawaii??? and I got a card. Hmmmmm.Quote:

Surprised the wife and took her to the store Bed, Bath and Beyond to meet the new spokes models Justin Trudeau and his wife Sophie. We had an amazing time with them taking selfies but the highlight was watching Justin applying the new line of essentials oils all over Kathleen Wynne who showed up unexpectedly. Sophie sang some new material all based on the love she has for herself. It was the best Valentines day in the history of Canada !
I got her a dozen rose, and a new set of windows wipers for her truck. Lol .she was happy after she took advantage of me..lol
ROFLMBO too funny
I gassed up the snowblower for her. And before you criticize me, it was darn cold out.
Candlelight dinner, Netflix movie and got lucky!
Wait! She did that for me!....lol
Guys often forget that men are not like women. (an ongoing problem with me). You can't judge what makes them happy by comparing to what makes you happy. Getting a gift and out for a meal can mean a lot to many women. So why not.
Now - off to Hawaii - that's a nice way to say "will you be my valentine?"
Wow. You're so romantic. :)Quote:

And it wasn't mentioned again.
Bulls@%t day.
That may be true Roper and is. Was married to one such and have dated a couple others.
If a woman "expects" X on VDay, my question to her is: why?
Because it's what you have been marketed and conditioned to expect?
Because your friends and family expect it?
etc
It's a manufactured day for something that should come naturally all year and can't be manufactured.
Love and appreciation.
Imo, the fact it exist and that so many seem to need it, is kind of sad.
I would like to assume that if a woman is regularly shown how much she is loved and appreciated be it little things here, there. Taking her out for dinners, or xyz......If she gets "nothing" on VD she won't be disappointed or shouldn't be at all.
I've long said
A single truffle out of the blue, trumps a bed of roses on VD.
We had the very same conversation as Oddmott. At our age.... 70 .... just each of us waking up in the morning is a true gift.
Bought my wife two lengths of coax ( 100 and 50 foot ) 20 feet of 450 Ohm twin lead, six insulators, and a pair of 60 meter coils/traps. A reference book on PSK31, and offered to let her use my soldering iron and tools when she builds her HF antenna.
Yes she did get that for Valentines day, and that is the list of gifts she told my ex girlfriend. Which makes the EX mad because first she never got anything, and second that my wife would be happy with that as valentine gifts. Karen likes to annoy her that way.
What was not mentioned was the supper the weekend before, the dozen roses and the two dozen tulips she got on Friday. ..and the fact that we are still planning more valentine stuff next weekend.. Valentines does not have to be only one day a year.
I got her a new coat, she got me all access passes for the David gilmour show in March so I owe her
WOW!! I thought we were the only ones that did that. Me and the missus have been into hallway sex for years. Every time we pass in the hallway way we say "screw you!"Quote:

We are both on the same page with regards to gifts etc.
Although I surprise her here and there.

I try to shoot a deer every fall, to show her how much I love her. 43 years this March.
C.A - that was a nice touch. Marked down chocolate.

After 40 years of marriage, I just went and got my wife one of her "happy pills" I took one of my "happy pills" and we both sat in our respective chairs waiting for them to take effect. That was the extent of Valentine's Day for us.
You maybe thought I was going to say more. As my lead stated "Love Hurts" :-)
