Laid Bare – The Dos and Don’ts for Valentine’s Day

Valentine's Day is fast approaching, and while most of the Her.ie girls would settle for the man in their lives making the dinner and watching The Notebook without complaining the whole way through, the lads over at JOE.ie are helping us discover what it is the menfolk would love to see happen on February 14th...

It’s difficult to really emphasize what we, and naturally we’re speaking for the entire male race here, would like for Valentine’s Day. But if we’re being bluntly honest, there are a lot of our kind out there (men, that is) who’d prefer the day didn’t exist. Fools, we say.

Every red-blooded male should look at Valentine’s Day as an excuse to make their better halves deliriously happy. But if you’re already a year-round fantastic boyfriend then that’s going to be quite the difficult task. So, let’s concentrate on ourselves for a moment. If we were so bold enough to point out that the inordinately priced dinner/perfume/jewelry that we have spent our hard earned dosh on leaves you, well, feeling like you owe us something, then rest reassured that we have all the toiletries and and clothing you could possibly have purchased us. Sure it’s only the stuff you like anyway!

This is the bit where you ladies shine, at least in your own minds, as you are far more creative creatures than us. So you know what your boyfriend/husband enjoys more than anyone and you know if you enjoyed partaking in said activity, whatever it may be, then you’d do it all the time... so what better way to rock his world than by giving him the remote control, wearing that special something/nothing at all, or all of the above? Really, we are all lingerie loving cavemen at heart.

See, despite often high-pitched arguments to the contrary, men are simple creatures; we generally know what we like, and for the most part that means habitual things that we associate with comfort – familiarity breeds snugess... isn’t that how the old saying goes?

So this Valentine’s Day instead of going out and buying us something expensive and spending all your hard earned wages, go and buy something sexy (but you know, classy) for our own private pleasure. Somewhat ironically, the “tackier” or “cheaper looking” you think it is, the more we’ll enjoy it. Or an Xbox... we like those too.
