V-day pointers for guys

[ragani]

My friend, ismirth, has been working on a series of advice posts for guys. Her latest entry is a timely post of what guys should know about Valentines day.

She would love some feedback, from both guys and gals.

So, I am curious...
Do you think she is representing woman accurately?
If you are a guy, was this helpful?

I tried to read it with my sister in mind instead of me because I don't assume I'm normal outside of my own social crowd.

It's true, in my social crowds, a well chosen book is a perfectly reasonable gift.

I agree with her assertion that le... I can't spell cutelittleundergownsinfrench are for HIM more than her, but I have to say that a trip to Good Vibrations isn't a bad valentine's gift in my world ;)

Mmm... good vibes. That would be great. I give gift certificates to there as wedding gifts [to friends that I know could handle the idea, not to certain prudes].

That's just it though: The guys who would read that post and benefit are probably dating the girls like us. Or at least wanting to.

I did say that my boy of 4+ years should know by now that I don't much care about VDay, and that he can talk to me about my expectations for ANYTHING without spoiling it for me at all.

I've also sent the article to my sister for her oppinion.

Yah, saw that. My boy of 4.5 years [2 married] also knows how to have a frank conversation about it. And my ex [2 year relationship, year 1.1] knew enough to say that he just didn't do V-day in a traditional sense, so we compromised at a movie and video games.

I'd send it my sister if I thought she'd read it. I also posetd a link with my thoughts in my main journal, as there are a couple of guys I know who *might* benefit.

Um, my sister is cool people, so I asked and she said she'd read it.

We just have very different ideas about what is right in a relationship.
