Every woman wants to feel special and privileged to be a part of your life. On the other hand, no man wants to be perceived as though he's whipped beyond belief. That's where Valentine's Day comes in: a day where you can shower her with love and make her feel like she's your princess. It allows you to do the cheesy things no man would want to get caught dead doing, unless it's on Valentine's Day where you will be praised for taking her on a hot air balloon ride or made her a heart-shaped pizza for dinner.
Don't want to buy her an expensive gift you can't justify spending on during a recession? Fair is fair, so make her something. Women, and even men of the sensitive kind (like me), often prefer the cute and adorable. Flowers, chocolates, bears - yeah they might be generic and overdone, so use them as a complement to your creation. It also adds the benefit of a hedge in case your hand-made craft turns out hideous.
Now I know you naysayers might argue that Valentine's Day is overrated and quite possibly useless or redundant, but is it really? I've heard that saying, "You should celebrate your love for one another every day of the year, not just on Valentine's Day." Yes, yes you should, but unless you shower her everyday with the same added attention and romance most women receive on Valentine's Day, which is rarely the case, you have done little to prove such an argument. I feel confident in refuting your claims that you really do make her feel special every day, or at least once a week.
Think about it in another way. Many of us celebrate our birthdays as a day where we have become older and wiser, but I could argue that we all age everyday and any day could be used as a celebration for that. Christmas is a time for giving and family reunions, but everyday should be a day of giving and a union of family. Thanksgiving is an excuse to stuff our faces with junk and to give thanks to everything we have. I think you know where I'm headed now.
The argument that Valentine's Day is unnecessary is as flawed as those who are opponents of every other major holiday. So instead of trying to pretend you're anti-establishment and have an issue against the globalization and marketing of a non-statutory holiday, just go out and spend $30 on your woman and make her feel awesome. If she's already mad at you for forgetting Valentine's Day or ignoring it, well then, you've already learned the lesson the hard way. Remember, when a woman says "No," it often means yes.
I should note that I do believe that Valentine's Day has become very commercial, along with most major holidays as well, but this article is to discuss the celebration of a relationship and its love, not just about buying her expensive gifts. So take a moment of your busy life and stop. Give her a memory that will outlast every error, every battle, every bad decision you've had and get laid.
Happy belated Valentine's Day.
