What Woman Really Want for Valentine’s Day

What Woman Really Want for Valentine’s Day

There’s some major misinformation about women being hard to please when it comes to Valentine’s Day. The truth is if you don’t know what to get the special woman in your life, you’re probably overthinking it.

We asked Rumble readers what they really want this Valentine’s Day from their significant other and the answers seem to have a common theme — women want a break! We just want our loved ones to know us well enough to know what we want.

Whether it’s cooking a special dinner or writing a handwritten love letter, the time and thought that goes into the gift is way more important than the amount of money spent.

Here’s what our readers had to say?

Tatia Elizabeth Childers — “We don't really celebrate Valentine's Day, but it is fun to go out to a nice dinner. But really, just spending time with Alan without distractions would be the best.”

Ginger Galati — “A nice dinner he doesn't have to cook.”

JoAnn Pillifant — “I love peach roses and a romantic dinner. Doesn’t have to cost a lot, or even be out someplace. It’s the effort I’m looking for that wins my heart every time!”

Pam Schiavo — “Not candy! A nice dinner out and romance.”

Nichole Ellington — “Just attention and thoughtfulness. Doesn't even need to be something that costs money.”

Becca Swanger — “Memories that make me smile.”

Mary Ann Lawrence — “Evening out at a place of my choosing...could be dinner, or a show.”

DeeAnna Haney Wilkerson — “A massage would be so luxurious. Or even a couples spa day somewhere like Hot Springs.”

Emily Kepley Moss — “Gift certificate for a long massage.”

Joy Reisner Johnson — “Someone to give my house a thorough cleaning.”

Brittney Lofthouse — “Uninterrupted sleep, being able to drink as much wine as I want without judgment, being able to spend time with my kids, but not have to be the ‘primary parent’ and comfy socks.”

Betty Cloer Wallace — “We really want a day of relaxation snuggled up to the people we love, without having to answer phones or respond to the world at large. So, it'd be good to get caught up on the cooking and cleaning well in advance of the loving and snuggling. And hope the weather will cooperate.”

Hylah Birenbaum — “Not cooking.”

Linda Marie Sparks — “A boyfriend.”

Courtney Elizabeth — “A thoughtful card or written letter. Anything that shows he knows me (bought, made, cooked- it changes year to year). And nothing he bought on the way home on Valentine's Day at Ingles or CVS.”

Deborah N. Reed — “Nice Dinner out or cooked at home. Message, Amazon gift card for spring clothes shopping.”

Marsha Frashier — “Tattoos and a good steak!”

Amy Elizabeth Jennings — “A nice dinner.”
