Confusedalways Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Looking at this from a men's perspective- what on earth do you men want/ like for valentines day? Is cookies and sex enough? Do you expect a gift? Do you want a gift? Would you rather not celebrate it? I'm trying to think of something cute/ romantic for my boyfriend but everything just seems like something he doesn't want or need. I know it's still a couple weeks away, but I'm trying to be creative. Google yields dumb results like tie clips and cuff links.
iJester Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Is cookies and sex enough? Unless you're personally baking the cookies, don't even bother with them. It's a stupid holiday and the only thing a guy has to look forward to is sex. You know he really cares about you if he pretends to be interested and actually makes an effort to make you feel special.
seibert253 Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Can't speak for all fellas, but only for me. What would I like, some quality alone time with my W. Nice romantic dinner date, then the rest of the night she and I totally focused on rocking each other's world. That's my dream. Will it happen? Probably not.
Nexus One Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 I think most guys would just like quality time together. Just an idea though, you could put a valentines card on his pillow, in his suitcase for work or wherever he'll be surprised to find it. Write a sweet message on it and spray it with your perfume. As far as gifts go. The head of a dead horse in a box or cloth will send the wrong signal.
depplover_1980 Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Steak followed by a blow job followed by a good movie and a cuddle.
pookster72 Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 i got a coupon in the mail a few weeks ago for a hotel stay at a beach nearby we both like and am planning on treating him to a night there the weekend before valentines day.
bayouboi Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 here's another man-vote for "who cares about cookies"
carhill Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Your guy expresses his feelings for you verbally and in writing, yes? So, take some time to share your feelings with him similarly and, on that day, carve out quiet time for nothing else. No internet, no TV, no phones (turn off cell and unplug land), put on some soft music and just be with each other. I liked to help my exW make some little hors d oeuvres, as she is really good at it, so we'd prep together, drinking some wine or champagne and then just sit quietly, being with each other and feed each other the food we had prepared. Obviously, if your guy is a steak and BJ kind of guy, then that's more likely to be pleasing to him. Every man is different. If he likes it when you dress up and that's something you don't do often, titillate him a bit, putting on the dog and taking him out to a nice restaurant and loosing a heel under the table for a crotch massage. I could go on
Feelin Frisky Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 No cookies or candy for me thanks. Sex is not special gift either because we're doing that anyway. Valentines Day is as good a time as any to just be a little more considerate and just make it a good time. A small token gift is OK but not a functional gift like socks or a tie. Something goofy or cute. I got one g/f a big white chocolate penis with a strawberry tip in a long stem rose box once. By itself I don't think it would have been enough, but I took her to Atlantic City for an evening of gaming and dancing. That was my gift to myself too.
Lovelybird Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 On VD, I expect man romance me instead of opposite
SouthernSunshine Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Steak followed by a blow job followed by a good movie and a cuddle. Oh hell, my SO would LOVE you!!
Keridan Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 ValDay is a great time to just relax together. Sex is great, good food is great, but just ignoring your problems in life and spending time where the only thing that matters is each other is absolutely wonderful. I do the dinner and romance stuff cuz it's expected and I don't mind, but if it were just my preference, I'd rather stay home and relax together.
AverageJoe Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Valentines day is the biggest hallmark holiday ever. A completely fabricated holiday. I happen to love it. Let me tell you why. For the unmarried guys. This is by far the easiest holiday to pick up women. As I have mentioned in the past, I am not looking for a relationship. So, valentines day I don't have to send roses, no candy, no cards. Nothing leaves my possession, no obligations at all. It is great! Here is what you do fella's if you don't have a girlfriend or looking to get laid. What you want to do is go to any bar, any watering hole, a dance club or any type of club on that evening. You are gong to see chics out there without guys. These are the chics that have recently broke up with their boyfriends or husbands. Or chics that were booty calls and just figured out they were booty calls because the guy doesn't love them enough to send them flowers , candy, or a valentines day card. These are women who will be out that night in force. That is the night you can meet women. This is where you step into the breach. This is the self esteem super bowl of holidays. So fella's this is an upcoming night where you can score big.
Nexus One Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Valentines day is the biggest hallmark holiday ever. A completely fabricated holiday. True, one of the best marketing tricks ever pulled by an industry. It's up there with Coca Cola's Santa.
hydorclops Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 I always celebrate alone with whiskey and porn.
AverageJoe Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 I always celebrate alone with whiskey and porn. Of course that is an option. Go out valentines night, take that whiskey with you and I am willing to bet you will not need that porn.

The last few years I've bought my H a box of turtle chocolates and gift certificate to Home Depot.
Star Gazer Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Is cookies and sex enough? Great. Now I'm hungry and horny.
rafeal Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Valentines day is based on Saint Valentine, a catholic saint who wrote love letters from prison. Today it's a commercialized buy your SO something holiday. The real question is what does your guy value? Find this out and express/show/do it for him. Good luck!
SpanksTheMonkey Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 As far as gifts go. The head of a dead horse in a box or cloth will send the wrong signal. Not always works wonders for me every year...
Ruby Slippers Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 I think a swanky dinner (in or out) and hot sex is the best way to celebrate Lovers Day.
Questionis Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) If he already has everything he needs, you can take him on an experience. Like one of those things you can take him to drive a really expensive car round a race track. You can make the journey there part of the enjoyment. Like have a small gift for him every few miles that gives him a hint of what he is going to get. You can bring bottles of beer for the way back keep them in a cooler, so they last the journey with personalised bottle labels, maybe something like a love poem or a picture of you in sexy lingerie or his favourite tv shows. Then you can follow it up with a beautiful home cooked dinner with his favourite food and a sexy massage when you get home. It essential to get him drunk and relaxed so he falls asleep because after all the effort and arranging and planning and driving you will probably be totally knackered. You can wake him up with a BJ or something then he can bound off to work feeling like a million bucks with his ego swollen to gigantic proportions and you can sleep it off Edited January 24, 2011 by Questionis
aerogurl87 Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 My boyfriend and I will be spending Valentine's Day apart so when he comes to visit I'm getting some new lingerie for myself and surprising him with a home made gift basket that will contain his favourite soda, some of his favourite snacks, and a new video game and cd that he really wants. I think he's getting me a promise ring for Valentine's Day but honestly I don't care what we do to celebrate that day as long as I get to be with him.
