Guys? Well we do things like forget to send Mother's Day cards and birthdays all together. We do, however, manage to remember our fantasy football updates and that on every Wednesday at 6pm, we meet up with our boys for drinks. A lot of women hate these things but also realize that men are indeed men. We need reminders to be romantic and calender alerts to remember anniversaries and doctor's appointments.

Which is what makes Valentine's Day so great for men. It happens every year and stores are littered with constant reminders. And for once, our women don't even have to mention it to us. We get to look like valiant, as if we remembered all by ourselves, and swoop in with chocolates and little heart shaped candies that say "I wuv you". Even sites such as flowers.com have special Valentine's Day pages that allow you to find exactly what you weren't looking for, all in one place.

You see, women all want romance and affection from us. Those two notions can sometimes seem Greek to us. Yet, here we have one special day set aside specifically, where we can do romantic and affectionate things and we're amidst a million other guys going through the same thing without looking like saps or The Situation. We like making our women happy and generally, if they're happy, we're happy. Valentine's Day is the perfect time to maker her happy and it's already been planned out ahead of time for you by undoubtedly great men that had the foresight to help men everywhere remember to make their women feel special, thereby save the world from war (kind of).

Helen of Troy? Pissed because she didn't get a Valentine's Day gift since the day didn't exist. But if it had? There would be no thousand ships.

I love Valentine's Day. It's a day that I specifically have set aside in my calendar (and I didn't even have to put it there) to remind my woman of how hot she is. And I can't possibly blow it because everywhere I go there's something to help remind me to make her feel like a lady. Without Valentine's Day, I just might forget these simple things until I got a skillet lobbed at my head. But no, because of Valentine's Day, there will be no skillets.

I love Valentine's Day because I love love.

Salute.
