So how do you feel about Valentine's Day?
I know, I made a pretty long list of options here in the multiple choice, and they are kind of disparate, but just wanted to get you thinking.

Guys, if you don't like it much, what is it about it? Don't like the idea of it being 'forced' upon you, on one specific day? Is it the exorbitant cost of things on that particular day? Do you feel there is too much responsibility on men to create a romantic day? Would you like it more if girls took a more active role in planning it? Do you think it is unbalanced in expectations? Do you feel it's too contrived? Are you mostly in it for just a day of fun sex? Or do you like the idea of it, but wish there was more thought given to what you would like/enjoy?

Ladies, what is your idea of a good Valentine's? Do you look forward to it because you feel so many men don't make enough effort in general, throughout the year? Is romance dead? Are you sad that dating and chivalry are slowly being replaced by hookups and feminism and the fight for equality, and people seem to have lost the desire and ability to appreciate one another? How much of a role do you think you should have in planning it? Do you think about treating and spoiling your man just as much as he would you?

All ideas welcome. Perhaps we can dispel some discrepancies in thinking.
