Valentines Day: Is it necessary to buy your woman a gift? And do women know it’s also the man’s day to be pampered?

So...Valentines Day is less then a week away and you're wondering if you really have to buy your special someone a gift? You might have reached this baffling question because a) you just started dating and don't know if she's worth forking over cash to pay for a silly gift or b) have been together so long that you shouldn't have to buy yet another something that she really doesn't need?

Is it necessary to buy your woman a gift? Or can you get a pass?

And ladies!
Why do men always feel they're getting the short end of the stick on Valentines Day? Sexy lingerie is no easy task to pull off!

Or are you a woman that feels Valentines Day should just be about you? After all it is a made up holiday to sale greeting cards! (lol)

Comment by Carrie Brice on February 13, 2010 at 5:13pm: If you love some one you don't need to wait for valentine's day to express that love. Every day you should show your love, even on valentine's day

Comment by Merfy on February 12, 2010 at 9:42pm: Valentine's days is bogus. It's actually for young people who celebrate a year of dating. I don't have a care for it but to each his own. Like O said, it's s waste of time when people treat other like dirt and 1 day out of the year they get together to say I love you. Telling the person you love should be an onging thing. My husband and I do it everyday. I feel the same way about Mother's day. You don't listen or respect your mother but one day out of the year you have get the nerve to say love you. To all of you who enjoy February 14th, Enjoy.

Comment by Oronde Myers on February 12, 2010 at 5:50pm: Valentine's Day is just more bulls**t to distract people from things that are really important in a relationship. I've seen guys treat women like trash all year then roll up with gifts on V-Day and the woman acts like everything is great. V-Day isn't important enough to save a bad relationship or break up a good one. If you've got a good man or woman and you let them go because they don't buy you anything for V-Day, well, that's just stupid.

Comment by Sandra Swinney on February 12, 2010 at 11:04am: As far as I am concerned it is a Know brainer. If your gift is not from the heart don't waste your time. That goes for any holiday, and just for the record that is how I feel about receiving as well. And if you are THE TYPE (man or woman) that's expects a Valentines Day gift you should put the same effort into to giving.

Comment by WC2c on February 12, 2010 at 10:10am: This is a 6 Billion dollar industry!!!!! The third biggest money making holiday in this nation.

CONSIDER IT STIMULUS FOR THE ECONOMY....!

Comment by Mwlimu Waset on February 12, 2010 at 2:49am: I think it is very sad that we continue to get bombarded by these so called Holi-Days / NOT! It's all about the Benjamins. But getting back to Valentine's Day, love is something that you share with your man or woman everyday not just on the 14th. Although I am presently single, it bothers the hell out of me that so much pressure is put on men to shower women with so many gifts as if the men aren't deserving of anything. Come on brothers need love too (lol).

Comment by wonderfulwoman on February 10, 2010 at 1:54pm: Valentine's Day is a made up holiday,like most of the other's But to be honest, you should love and respect and adoration everyday. We often take our love ones for granted. But because of the shortage of men, women should especially be mindful of the kind of man she has. And yes he deserves to be pampered as well.

Comment by Relentless Aaron on February 9, 2010 at 11:02pm: valentines day SUCKED. She had it all planned. Booked a posh NYC Hotle, a $2,000 Swedish massage, an expensive dinner @ McCormicks, and we strolled back up Avenue of the Americas to the hotel room. Wine. Candles. Music. Jacuzzi.
"I always wanted to come back here," she said after we toasted and kissed. After the first glass, kissing in the jacuzzi turned into groping and our bodies becoming familiar once again.
In the back of my mind: "I'd better speed this up so I can hit the road and get back home to my wife. Maybe I'll be able to salvage SOME of Valentine's night."
But, that thought was easily pushed aside once my naked body began pounding against my lover's right there inthe jacuzzi. Water splashing all over. Then something crossed my mind.
I asked Fay, "Whaddaya mean you wanted to come back here? When was the last time?"
"Well I wasn't gonna say, but I came here with a... a customer, back in the day."
I already knew what "back in the day" meant, since Fay had told me the whole story about her pops raping her, enslaving her/confined to her bedroom 24/7, and how she came out only to service "tricks" that Pop brought home. *Sidenote: Mom's wasn't in the picture because Pop shot her years earlier when Fay was 4. He got out of prison by the time she was 14 and so began her "new life" as his daughter-slash-lover-slash-prostitute.
So, there in the jacuzzi, the idea of her having turned a "trick" in this very hotel (maybe in this very room), got me a little uneasy. I flashed back in my own imaginative way as to what went down, how and the results. It was easy to do such because Fay was SURELY a freak for me. She convinced me to leave my wife, kids, and we even planned on moving out of New York to begin a new life. Therefore, this VALENTINE'S night wasn't becoming romantic; it was more becoming raunchy. And so it began.

I became dominant, as if a switch was thrown, and with Fay up against the back of the tub...

Comment by Lucilla Nash on February 9, 2010 at 9:16pm: It is never 'necessary' to do anything, is it? You get what you give and certainly when you care for people, you will display that in a tangible way. Everyones love language is different and it is important to know what response works for the individual you are in a relationship with and be willing to do something they may appreciate on a special occassion.
