What present would be the greatest gift of all to a woman;)
Why do I not care about Valentine’s Day? In short — because every day for me is Valentine’s Day. Nothing against it as such. At least once a year your partner is reminded to pay you some attention. A man, especially when he’s been longer in a relationship, will focus on either his career or fishing or football watching or saving the world. That means though his woman will not receive the attention any longer that she needs. So at least there is this one pink day which acts like a ‘beautiful’ social pressure to think of his beloved.
Ah, attention…
Valentine’s Day is like our wedding day. Why do we women go nuts over our wedding day? Simple! Because at least for ONCE the attention is on us.
What does that tell you, my dear men? It’s not like you don’t need attention, I know. But on average you will get far more attention than any woman. And I’m not saying that’s always a good thing. With more attention also comes more pressure.
We all need the 3 A’s, Jonathan Robinson says. Attention, Acknowledgment and Appreciation.
Out of those three, it seems men need more appreciation and we women more attention. As I said, we all need all three, but the balance is a bit different. Ladies, think about it and tell me if you agree (or not).
