Unromantic Men and Valentine’s Day
Is your man a cheap bastard? Does he love you just as much even if he doesn’t buy you a romantic gift for Valentine’s Day? Have you been indoctrinated into believing all men should indulge their loved ones on Valentine’s day?
Should you take Valentine’s Day seriously? Or just write it off as another commercial excuse for retailers, jewelers and florists to up their prices for a day?
Does your man treat you romantically every day? Or is he just a miserable unromantic mean spirited git? There is a difference between the bloke who does not buy into the whole Valentine’s Day gift idea, and the man who is just naturally mean spirited. For example, the man who does not believe in Valentine’s Day flowers may not present you with a bunch of red roses on the 14th of February, but will present you with gorgeous flowers on other occasions. The mean spirited git does neither.
The man who does not believe in the commercialism of Valentine’s Day may write you a Valentine’s Day poem instead of buying you a Valentine’s Day card. Or, he may send you a romantic little text on your cell phone. The miserable bastard does nothing, but still assumes he will be getting “some” because it is Valentine’s Day. This selfish man also never says “No” to any romantic gift ideas that come his way.
The financially challenged fellow can still make an effort on Valentine’s Day if he thinks about it. Cheap Valentine’s Day gift ideas include home made cards, poems, nice massages, and indulgent, mind blowing sex. The unromantic bastard does not bother with any of these options. His idea of Valentine’s Day is getting a blow job off you in front of the sports ( in the commercials would be better).
If your man is genuinely morally opposed to romantic Valentine’s day gifts he will not mind in the slightest if you do not reciprocate this year. In fact, he will probably heave a sigh of relief. This is fine when you are both uncomfortable with the concept of love tokens on Valentine’s Day.

Results.
Mostly a’s. Your man is a miserable unromantic bastard and you should trade him in. This man is treating you like an unpaid maid.
Mostly b’s. This is either a new relationship or you have hit the jackpot. Hang on to your man!
Mostly c’s. Welcome to the real world. The honeymoon is over. Your man means well, but could do with the occasional shake up.
We gals have been brain washed to a certain degree into believing that a man’s love is directly proportional to the amount he spends on Valentine’s Day. This certainly suits the retailers of the world to have us thinking this. Yes, it is fantastic to receive a little “I Love You” token on the 14th of February, but this is certainly a day where “it is the thought that counts” can come into play.
Some guys do not like the thought of the commercialism of Valentine’s Day gifts. This can be fine if they choose to show their love for you in other ways on various other days. Beware of the fellow who never demonstrates his love for you. This type of guy forgets your birthday and anniversary, and only seems to be hanging around for the meal and laundry service. If this describes your man, get rid of him with the trash, which you probably put out.

Of course (chuckle), you could buy yourself something using his credit card from this romantic gift page if you like. “Why not treat yourself? Look around this page at all the fantastic things you deserve. Give his credit card a serve. It is what you deserve.” Better still, buy something for yourself and tell him it’s from someone else who cares!
