What is up with men that don't want to or know how to buy the proper gifts and dinner for their woman on Valentines? A card is 5 bucks, a dozen roses at the major grocery stores is 20 bucks, and dinner for two at the local pub/restaurant can be as little as 25 with tip. This day for sweethearts comes every year, with a whole year to plan it. No excuses that it creeps up on you when you're broke. So what gives? What is it really that causes so many men to mess this up??? What causes so many women to mess up by assuming that the man is supposed to pay for the dinner? |

So instead of being selfish and expecting gifts, why don't we ALL go around giving gifts to people who deserve a bit of cheer in their lives, like homeless people or hospital patients??? With my cheap budget of buying items for a dollar, I could do that.

You must be broke or you wouldn't care who pays for it. Answering your question... because men have always been the ones to take this step towards showing his affection. Thank God because he doesn't know how to show it otherwise. lol Our mothers taught this to us. Dad always bought mom a corsage. Dad bought mom flowers to say I'm sorry. Dad bought mom things because WOMEN mostly didn't work back in the day. So MEN had all the money in their pockets. duh? AND...he should pay because he doesn't have CHILDCARE to pay for so he can actually GO to work. lol.... jk I don't have kids at home, but tons of women do. I'd like to see you give over half your paycheck to the daycare center just so you can go make half your pay with a good attitude. No really, in all seriousness...it's because it's a TRADITION. The man always has to fix the car and mow the lawn too are you going to start belly aching about that? Hey, here's this... why do women have to give birth??? Isn't there some way we can genetically alter you men so you can share this responsibility? Men should buy dinner just because of that alone.... gimme a break. |

With my cheap budget of buying items for a dollar, I could do that. get a second job. More money. Problem solved. jk... the point is to spend what you can spare...not spend on yourself, then tell the one you love you're broke. |

Well, I don't believe in it. If I was in a relationship, I would show my partner that I care all year-round. I would not celebrate Valentine's Day. I WOULD NOT want any gifts. Anyone who wouild not understand this and who would to celebrate with me would not longer be my partner. As I pointed out; sometimes we just have way too much on our plate to show just how much you care. Life, work, kids all get in the way so you don't always have time to show the person how much you care. Its not about gift giving; its about taking some time out for each other. |

He will probably pick up a couple of flowers for her. After all; its all about them taking some time for each other. They have been happily married for over 20 years so they appreciate these types of gestures. |

There. I corrected the sentence for you, since someone here wants to abide by tradition. |

What about couples who don't have children and both have jobs? What is your excuse then? Well then, what is left is tradition.. and like Navygirl said...doing special things doesn't always have to cost money. Learn how to cook, and go on a free flower hunt...point is to do something extra. I am speaking of men that have money to spend in my post. That they spent on themselves, then said they were broke for this day. |

Apparently, it is permissible for women to spend their money on themselves, but the opposite isn't permissible. |
