Valentine’s Day is a day dedicated to love and affection, but it has kind of a reputation for being “for” the woman. It can be tough to figure out just what to do for your significant other, but the entire holiday marketing scheme caters to what to get WOMEN… what about men?
Whether it’s a simple gesture of affection or a grand romantic gesture, understanding what men really want for Valentine’s Day can make the day extra special and memorable. So, let’s dive in and discover the secret desires of the men in our lives!
Big thanks to u/8Romans for asking the Reddit community what men really want for Valentine’s Day.
1. Food
Ribeye and a baked potato.
2. A good evening
I want someone to buy me dinner, get me lightly buzzed, and try to make me orgasm. Then we cuddle until I wake up from this dream I’m describing.
3. So cute!
My girlfriend and I are going to dress in our nicest clothes and have a table reserved at White Castle. They go all out for Valentine’s day with table cloths and silverware.
It’s goofy and silly and that’s the point. I’m glad I’ve found someone I can be silly with and who just likes being together.
4. Happy
I want others to be happy.
5. Quiet night
Split a joint and eat delicious food all night. Then watch something nostalgic and funny where we both pass out and sleep the whole night uninterrupted by children.
6. So cute!
I want plants. I like to garden and keep house plants.
My girlfriend got me an Ogre’s Ear succulent this year and I couldn’t be happier.
7. Yikes
A text back would be a nice gift
8. Simple
Unconditional love would be nice. But I guess I’ll settle for socks.
9. Yum!
Honestly? I want tamales. The green chile kind.
10. Poor guy
I want my mom to come back from the dead to make me sugar cookies like she used to.
11. This is the way
My wife and I don’t even celebrate Valentine’s Day. We do shit for each other all year round. Been together nearly 32 years, feels like we just got together. I am very lucky!
12. Sounds like a great night!
First of all, I genuinely enjoy taking my girlfriend out for a romantic dinner. If she wanted to express her affection I would love a back rub that turns into passionate sex followed by nude cuddling.
13. The little things
A hug
14. Wait a second
An official Red Ryder, carbine action, 200-shot, range model air rifle, with a compass in the stock and this thing that tells time!!!!
15. The little things
I typically get my husband a hot sauce trio from the latest season of Hot Ones. He loves the show and loves trying new hot sauces. I pair that with his favorite candy!
16. Perfection!
Every day is valentine’s day for me and my wife. This year will be our 32 wedding anniversary. She already got me some music gear that I needed.
17. Gamers
Me and my partner are planning on getting Chinese food, splitting an edible and playing video games all night with the cat.
18. The real answer
I just need a day off. No work. No house chores. No responsibilities.
