Men who put in effort for V day

[Anonymous]

If you’re a man and you put effort into V day, what’s your reasoning behind it?

It's an opportunity to make DW feel special.

What counts as effort? Anything other than nothing? Or going all out with dinner reservations, jewelry, expensive flowers, chocolate, etc.?

I think a lot of women prefer not to make a big deal out of Valentine's Day, but feel weird if their husband does absolutely nothing. Like a bouquet of flowers or a small gift is nice, but I think it's kind of weird when married people go all out. Going out to dinner on Valentine's Day can be a big PITA compared to just about any other day, and a lot of the generic gifts (red roses, heart shaped box of chocolates) feel cheesy and, well, generic.

But also if your husband does nothing, especially if he's a particularly effusive guy to begin with, it feels almost like an insult. Valentine's Day can be an excuse for otherwise unromantic men to do something a little thoughtful and romantic, which usually makes women feel good.

Effort? Does flowers and an inexpensive dinner at GF’s favorite restaurant we go to often count?

Because it is important to someone important to me. I want to make her happy.

Smart man. Lazy men who make no effect are not getting any on V-Day.

It makes DW smile. That's pretty much it. We have a good and happy marriage and she does a lot for us.

See, this is the sad, gray direction I'm headed. Where I would say something like "We got mom her favorite chocolate covered cherries for Valentine's Day and then we all went together for brunch." Where mom=wife. Blech. Comes with age, I guess.
