Well, funny thing is, and you might not believe it, this was actually something she brought up first. We met in late January (not this year but a while ago) so after celebrating that, VDay would have seemed really contrived.

I gave them to her last night, which was met with a "I didn't get you anything". I thought that was funny.

Nice, looks like you just earned a "get out of jail free" card.

Well she wouldn't actually but she'd be pretty disappointed. She's getting roses and a nice dinner at Velvet tonight.

Agree with Table 5 here…Most if not all women use sex as a way to get what they want from men, this is most evident in rube’s situation when they totally with hold it as some sort of punish to your for not following there orders

Most men play into there game because there need for love/sex runs pretty deep so they do as there told to get some in return

But what is really powerful and makes women take notice is when you don’t play into there game, you don’t have that need for sex

For Example lets say you are with a girl and you are making out on your bed you go to take things a bit further and she refuses, instead of laying there whining or begging for some action just say alright, totally stop what you are doing put on your clothes…turn all on the lights, start up your computer/turn on the T.V.

She will be dumb founded sitting on your bed, because believe it or not she was enjoying it just as much as you…she just doesn’t want to feel like she is being taken advantage of or be labeled as a slut

She will probably ask you what you are doing, just say “hey you said we should stop, so I stopped…its not like I am going lye there like a dog and beg for it” than see what happens

I wonder what gay dudes do. Do you think they just sort of agree not to get each other anything and then actually stick with that? Or maybe they try to outdo each other, giftwise? Or do they sort of trade obligations each year? And how do they react to lingerie? I mean, does the gay community have the same issues with protocol that us straight folks have?

Seems like it could be a delicate situation.

I have a working theory on the whole "you don't have to get me anything" line.

When women say that they don't want anything for Valentine's Day - I think they often mean it. The problem isn't that the guy follows those instructions and actually gets her nothing; I think the problem arises when she sees what her co-workers/girlfriends/sisters/etc. get from their significant others.

Co-worker: "Oh look, my boyfriend sent a dozen red roses to the office - I had no idea that was going to happen!"

Wife: "Wow ... that's really nice ..."

Co-worker: "How about you, what are you guys doing for Valentine's Day, anything special?"

Wife: "..."

That's when they get P.O.'d and start to ask themselves why their guy can't be bothered to do *something*, anything. Then of course there's only one target for that frustration, but they can't come out and tell their guy why they're upset, because they know that they already said that they didn't want anything in the first place. So then it's nothing but a day or two of awkward, frustrated, snippyness.

It's just a theory mind you, but by the same token, I'm shelling out for dinner and a dozen roses again this year. I don't even think twice about it.

LOL, some people clearly didn't get that I was being a little tongue-in-cheek on my OP, but this is honestly one of my favorite plays. It works especially well when she pulls the "I'm too tired, I just want to cuddle" card.

I didn’t mean you specifically there rube just some guys in general

And the “I’m to tired I just want to cuddle” card= terrible

Cuddling is the worst…I just want to got too sleep without having to awkwardly hold on too your body

Yep. What women fail to understand is that cuddling = reward for good sex.

Her only reward should be knowing that I am going to get a good sleep!

LOL. I go to bed for two reasons and neither of them involves cuddling.

It's Valentine's Day for Gorillas too:

http://www.time.com/time/health/arti...0.html?cnn=yes

Leah was staring at George. A series of rapid, pulsating whimpers escaped her lips. She then drew near to George, who locked gazes with her, his face unreadable. His shoulders were relaxed, and when Leah was within his grasp he opened his right arm and embraced her. Leah lay on the ground and George looked into her eyes. He bent over to lie on her, while Leah wrapped her legs around George's waist...

Is this a missing letter from the Penthouse Forum? The steamy section of a well-thumbed romance novel? Try neither: The scene is actually taken from the April 2007 issue of the Gorilla Gazette, a primatology journal.

I made a deal. I buy her a weiner dog, and I don't have to do anything on Valentines day EVER AGAIN.

Seems like a pretty sweet deal to me.

Valentine's sucks for single people... unless you do it right up and give all the girls at work/school Valentine's cards.

That's right I was pretending to be 5 years old, but at the same time, what girl that you know doesn't want a Valentine!?

[albertGQ]

Does Outlaws (I guess it's Snatch now) still have Passion Bash on Vday for singles?
