What do women really want on Valentines day?
- shazwellynposted 14 years ago
0a kitten or a puppy or a diamond ring....maybe some nice earrings with matching bracellete and necklace
Of course all I want for Vday is a relaxing fun day with my husband, no presents needed. but if he was to get me a present...I am still waiting for a pair of good combat boots. Yes I know weird gift but hey that is what I want
I wanted hiking boots for Christmas!
Seriously, St. Valentine's Day doesn't have to be elaborate or expensive. Just pay attention to what you know your significant other likes, go with that. But if she likes, say, pizza, don't just stick some frozen bit of cardboard in the oven.
Someone or anyone to be respectful, as to, understanding of their need to feel desired or wanted.
Most materialists want something or object.
On Valentine's Day, a women wants to feel special, over and above, other individuals, so that they can have the loving feeling/connection with others.
Did a hub about it Shaz; advising men It's the card stupid! But essentially I concur it's the thought of love and passion on that special day. Always worked for me no matter if I had money or not. (as a soldier more often not).

I'll try and defend myself.
Provided I'm not single by next Valentines I was thinking of just getting a few assorted things, some practical, some fun, and putting them in a nice little wicker basket I found Oh and some good quality flowers too I already know the place, just not sure what variety to get Shaz - you could light it up like Vegas, have big fat 100ft neon arrows pointing at it - and some guys would still take a wrong turn
As for me, I'm happy to enjoy a good meal and a bottle of wine. I like to think I'm appreciated every day of the year. He certainly is

Clean dishes and an empty garbage can that I didn't have to do myself
.
K, on to seriousness...for myself, I'd much rather have some token that shows he's thinking about me and wants to spend time with me, rather than buying me something generic like flowers or chocolates. An evening out together even if it's just for a walk, a houseplant that goes perfectly in that spot I've been wanting to fill, my favorite brand of dark chocolate, or a home-cooked meal with that one dish I really liked but haven't had in months...all of these show that he's actually paying attention and/or wants to spend time with me, THAT'S the best thing for Valentine's Day- WizardOfOzposted 14 years ago0
I think I missed the news flash
Whatever we guys do it will be wrong, right? From the cynical me.
I have other answers available
Only if you did something else wrong, it's just a really good excuse to mentally beat you over the head for something we've been seething about. Later we'll get mad at you because you didn't realize that it really had nothing to do with the Valentine's Day thing, and then get mad because you don't know what it is you're in trouble for.
I guess it all depends on the person, I'm perfectly happy if all he does is bring me a can of pop from the break room at work or gives me a hug I wasn't expecting, mileage varies according to the female though
To be loved from the heart

A NEW CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- he prefers that, less work
Exactly!! I like that method. Of course, my SO and I ended up with the perfect combination...he's older and has two ex-wives who taught him what to and not to do, and I'm still young enough to be very blunt about what I want. I have no problem saying, "I want to get a pothos to put in that corner, if I ever get the money to spare..." This tactic has gotten me a big cushy faux leather office chair, an ergonomic keyboard, a massage/heating pad, and help rubbing in lotion whenever I want it provided I specifically ask for it. That, and he's already a gourmet chef, which really helps things...I grew up in a house where the spices were salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
That said...I think Colebabie has the right idea, can't argue with that one.
flowers...and some peace and quiet!
we're less complicated than you imagine...!- shazwellynposted 14 years ago0

Great! Now we're eating hmrjmr for dinner?
Sex.
Seriously thats all I want. We don't have to go anywhere. You don't have to buy me anything. V-day is just a day to get laid. (this isn't an ad, I'm not taking applications, I have a guy by the way )- ralwusposted 14 years ago0
A bath.
That is such an awesome way to explain it...just thought I'd let you know that
. Special touches are a wonderful thing...like if I am going to buy my husband (a veteran) flowers it's peace roses, they're his favorite, but if he's going to buy me flowers it's either going to be something potted or lantana (I love the smell!), or maybe potted lantana . He knows I would get irritated at him if he spent money on jewelry because I hardly ever wear it, but a Papa Murphy's pizza is just perfect. It really does get down to truly, honestly knowing the person you're with.
I don't know...he thinks he can make me happy by picking the "right" answer, but then later gets upset or stressed because it wasn't really what he wanted. We're working on it...I told him that when I ask him about something, I'm almost always ambivalent about the answer or I wouldn't be asking him, I'd just do it. Alternatively, I ask his opinion on important decisions, and if it differs from mine I want to know so that we can discuss the pros and cons of the available options...sometimes I think of something he doesn't, and many many times he thinks of something I never considered. I know it has to be tough after spending 18 years, between the two previous wives, being asked for his opinion and then having her tapping her foot and looking expectantly at him with a "don't you dare say the wrong thing" look on her face.
They never did make em like they used to! The older generation of men would buy you a set of screwdrivers!

Well, life is treating me, like I treat it.
What in particular would you like to know? There is so much about me and I try not to think about it, because when I do and then speak, most think it's my ego talking and not my experience.
So, feel free to ask anything you like to know? I've nothing to hide.My family consists of a bunch of people who really don't understand what it means to be a family. I still have my mother, she is 62 and hates life, who I live with. I have one sister and she has two daughters. My sister is divorced and in a relationship(11 years and counting). Her daughters are ages 18 and 14.
I have no wife. I have no kids. I've never been married.By learning about the women around me and interacting with many, even if they don't know me.
I've never had a problem talking to women. It's a gift I enjoy, because it allows me to be a better listen, especially since I'm not too much into myself. I know myself and my ability, so I don't find a reason to talk about myself.
Now, if you read my writing. It would suggest that that wasn't true, because everything I write if from what I see, hear and dealt with. But, then again, for those who read my hubs, learn that I don't think like the average man and I carry myself differently.
If people see my writing as arrogrant or egotistical? Then, they obviously have the wrong impression.
No...not the remote...anything else but not the remote
Did you ask a question? Only to not continue the conversation or is that it?
