Business wire published some dire statistics about men and Valentines Day:
"The National Retail Federation’s Valentine’s Day Consumer Intentions and Actions survey, conducted by BIGresearch, has consistently reported that men spend nearly double what the average female spends for Valentine’s Day.
A 2007 Men’s Health survey of its own readers indicated that – when left to plan the holiday independently - nearly twice as many men felt it was their obligation to do so as compared to women.
A 2009 study published in the February edition of the Journal of Business Research, revealed that 63% of males feel obligated to give a gift to their partner for Valentine’s Day, compared to 31 percent of females."
Come on girls! Buy your man some roses this year.
