This could be a sign that her coworkers are too ugly to get even the most desperate of guys to take them home.

FACT: Chocolate is to American women as caramel is to Canadian women.

Not necessarily ugly, most of them were married and somewhat decent looking (although none of them have anything on my wife). Their problem is that all of them were the category of ***** that WOULD get more pleasure out of a box of chocolates juts as another way of putting their man in his place.

Similar to the quoted below, the diamond ring is the biggest marketing success ever. Make men feel obligated to spend (atleast) two months pay on a rock. Not shelter, food, or entertainment, a rock. Society continues to fall for this one everyday and people wonder why the country is in debt. People pay exorbient amounts for a rock because it will "help the relationship". Help the relationship is in quotes as there is no other logical reason to spend thousands on a small piece of stone.

Want proof that Valentine's Day is a fraudulent holiday?

Saint Valentine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Okay, Christmas has very little to do with Santa Claus and Easter has nothing to do with the Easter Bunny, but at least people still understand the original reason for celebrating those holidays. Where Valentine's Day comes from, basing it on Saint Valentine, who freaking knows?

As far as what I did for my wife and child, I was not allowed to buy flowers this year, and my wife does not allow me to spend a whole lot of money on her. What I did end up doing was buying a "buy one, get one free" stuffed animal special at a local Hallmark store. My wife got a stuffed Siberian husky, my daughter got a stuffed golden retriever. Probably the biggest Valentine's Day win I've ever had, and I spent less than $20.

To all of us single guys: Valentines Day is the best holiday ever. Why?

Go out to a bar, find a girl who is looking lonely, buy her a drink, and you get the rest. Trust me, Valentines Day is the single greatest day to meet/pick up girls.

Once I gave her Russell Stover chocolates on February 15th after getting it 50% off. She loved me for it.

I DO NOT understand women.

She likes chocolate.
