[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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.[/quote]

Hmm, my husband does nothing for Valentine's Day even though he is otherwise generous and romantic because he knows I think it's a silly holiday, so it doesn't hurt at all. For all the unromantic men out there, feel free to do something nice for Valentine's Day, but then focus on doing nice things throughout the year! I think I'd be mad if my husband only showed up romantically once a year on a date that someone else proscribed. [/quote]
