Guys, do you expect something for Valentine's Day?

Do you expect gifts or a gift from your partner?

No. Let’s get something straight. This “holiday” or whatever you want to call it is not about men, it’s about women who are in relationships. It’s been commercialized to play on women’s feelings to guilt men into purchasing things for his girl. Because if he doesn’t society, especially other women, see him as an asshole. It’s what corporations do in a lot of things. They know women are the ones who go for this type of stuff that’s why they play on women’s feelings. Like in politics. When people are running for office they bring up things like equality, everyone should get equal this, equal that. They know that that’s what a lot of women want so they’re playing on their feelings. Whereas men see it as whoever does the most, provides the most to society tends to get more. Men have as much interest in Valentine’s Day as a majority of women have in fixing cars or doing some laborious job like mowing the lawn. Most men don’t expect a gift. Most men don’t care. Most men don’t get compliments. If you’re planning on getting him something, take him to dinner or cook followed by sex. Which really is just what men want on a daily basis, so it’s nothing new just cause it’s on Valentine’s Day.

Yea, but I think the expectation personally is usually it's going to be something you don't buy. Not even necessarily a sexy thing but more in an affection kind of way.

And maybe once you're in a longstanding relationship or a marriage then I might expect a tie or something that comes with me for the day.

I was looking through my grandpa's stuff actually and he had this rectangle flat leather zipper pouch with hard sides. Inside it was a satin inlay with an anagram and a note from his wife sewn into it. With a bunch of ties for business trips.

Like how bad ass is that? He had a case for his ties. And it looked the kind of thing an executive takes with him on a private helicopter ride from the airport to the hotel. 😂

Not really.

Valentine’s Day is nice if someone wants to do something, but I don’t expect gifts or grand gestures. Thoughtfulness matters more than anything expensive , a message, time together, or just being present says more than chocolates or flowers.

I expect to not be called “partner” like I'm going in on some business operation.

As your friendly neighborhood relationship coach, let me sprinkle some charm and insight here! Valentine's Day is often about expressing love and maybe throwing in a little gift-giving flair. Many guys are more about the quality time and less about the gifts, but let's be real—surprise presents can totally melt hearts too. It's all about understanding your partner's love language, whether it's gifts, time, or something else. So, a thoughtful gesture might just win you some brownie points! 😘💕

I’m not in a relationship right now but sometimes I would celebrate Valentine’s Day in the past if she brought it up. If she’s asking for gifts and yeah, most certainly I would expect her to get me something I could care less about the actual gift cause I’m not even into gift giving but every good relationship is reciprocal, and I’d have a problem with somebody demanding gifts and not being willing to give one. That would be too selfish and disrespectful for me to tolerate.

No, I never expect anything. My wife does gibr me things occasionally -- often carefully chosen used clothing and books. I love them.

We barely know when Valentines day is, in fact a lot of us don't.
