Men Likely To Disappoint Women On Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day

Men may not be as romantic as women on Valentine"s Day, finds out a new study.

A poll of 2100 adults found that despite the fact that more than three in four women want to receive a romantic letter or poem, only half of the men think of writing it.

6 per cent of men confessed to passing off existing romantic poetry as their own in order to impress their beloved.

Meanwhile, two in every three women would like to be complimented on their appearance, while men hardly notice any change in the appearance of their partners.

Most women wish for a romantic dinner with their partner"s complete attention on them, while men hardly consider dinners as romantic.

“We may no longer be knights in shining armour or damsels in distress, but we still want and need romance – it is part of our emotional DNA," says relationship expert, Jenni Trent Hughes.

The beauty of romance in the 21st Century is a blank slate.

A piece of advice - Forget about everything else. Make Valentine's Day work for you as a day of your affection.
