For a guy these days, Valentine’s Day is just another stressful event on the calendar, maybe the most stressful of them all, if you have a woman to court around. Cupid hits us with that damn arrow of his on the 14th of February every year, and guys are always trying to avoid those typical clichés, such as flowers, candy and cards. We know that doesn’t always get the job done for you, but here we have an opportunity to give you women some insightful information on what we expect for Valentine’s Day.

Most of us try and hide the realization that we know this fact, but don’t worry, it’s been imbedded in our heads since day one. We merely try and hide this reality because we’re men and we don’t like to show our sentimental sides too often. We don’t really care about what we get on Valentine’s Day, unless we’ve been asking for something. Although, it is rather nice to get a little something extra on Valentine’s Day, perhaps that digital camera that we were talking about earlier.

With that being said, all that we really want is for our valentine to be walking around with a grin on her face that would make even the hardest of hearts smile. That’s what this certain holiday is really about. So throw some hints at us about what you would like to receive on the 14th. We’re
