I hope to find a woman with that view point one day.
A dinner, a card and perhaps a rose would suffice, and later the back rub as well. All that other crap does my head in.

I agree - and think that's one of the reasons my husband is so happy. You put some thought and effort into something, it usually turns into stupendous, out-of-this-world results

Hmm seems like a lot of people go for the dinner at home?

and a lot more for the sex! LOL

I agree with juniperbleu no big teddy bears or chocolates coming from guys.

Although flowers are nice. Even if it's just a single rose.

& personilized gifts are good but when you have no imagination what so ever like me. That is quiet hard

I'm just horrible at gifts and planning things.

What would be a good gift and nice things to do on Valentines Day?

I'm sure most of you have a better thinking brain then I do

Thanks in advance!
If I had someone to spend Valentine's Day with...here are some of the things I would think of doing for my man....

Suggestions for gifts for a man:
1) Romantic Getaway - a room with a hot tub or jacuzzi tub for two; dinner where someone cooks for the both of you; and later grab the massage oil for a luxurious rub down - be sure to wear something sexy

2) Get him tickets to his favorite sports or other favorite type of event

3) Buy him something he wants or needs....most guys I know don't mind that power tool that they've been wanting or that big screen TV that they've been dreaming of.

Suggestions for gifts for a woman:
1) Romantic Getaway - a room with a hot tub or jacuzzi tub for two; dinner where someone cooks for the both of you; and later grab the massage oil for a luxurious rub down - be sure to wear something sexy or nothing at all

** See this can be perfect for both him & her

2) Get her tickets to her favorite sports or other favorite type of event

3) When a man makes a dinner for a woman....at least I know that I really appreciate it; even if it's not great - the thought that goes into it. Add some music and candle light.....and it will be a very memorable Valentine's Day indeed

4) I always enjoy receiving my favorites chocolates and a mushy love card melts my heart and makes me weak in the knees.

If we did that for women, they would throw the kitchen sink and everything else at us. They expect much more romance blah de blah affection, and all the ooohs and aawwwwws. Lol.
Aww, there are women who'd love some grilled salmon and foot rub ... I would! Don't get me wrong, I love flowers and never turn down a nice surprise, but I didn't mean to imply that all women expect all that stuff.

I think the grilled salmon and foot rubs should be because you love the person, not just once a year. Maybe I'm just a sappy manlet...or maybe I'm missing the point of Valentine's Day.

It's a special occasion I suppose. Just like your birthday is a special occasion. And people do, or I hope they do, extra special things for their SO on such days.

I'm not much of a VD fan either, but if the woman I'm with likes it then I'll go the extra mile to please her. I don't see why not. Not that I wouldn't do it the other 364 days of the year, but just saying...

And there perhaps lies the problem....that if everyone would do a few extra nice things the other 364 days a year...then maybe there wouldn't need for VD to be such a special occasion. Shouldn't everyday be special with your SO???!!! Not just wait for 1 day a year to show it to your SO???? Just a thought....

I say just have fun with it. People take Valentine's day so seriously and it's really just a day that someone proclaimed would be a good time to say I Love You and spend too much money.

Get some red, pink, and white body paint and be each other's canvas.

Agree. If it was up to me I would abolish VD. But if it makes my woman happy, then I'd do anything to please her.

I couldn't care less tbh. Even for my birthday, I wouldn't care one bit if I didn't get anything. Last time I had a g/f all I got for my birthday was a kiss on the cheek, a pad on the bum and few I love yous.
