Several years ago I published a poll for Valentine’s Day as part of ongoing research for my book, The Secrets of Happily Married Men. I asked guys for their feelings about Valentine’s Day. The results of the poll didn’t surprise me: about 15 percent of the guys eagerly looked forward to the day; the majority were either neutral or downright angry. Most men felt like slaves to the greeting card industry!

I understand why most guys don’t cherish Valentine’s Day. Let’s face it: despite all the hype about it being a day for lovers, couples and romantics, it’s really a day for women. Women look forward to the cards, the flowers, the jewelry, the chocolates and the candle-lit dinners.
