PR NEWSWIRE — Jan 31 — Men put a greater importance on Valentines day: 25% made it their 2006 New Year’s resolution to have a date or special someone to share the romantic holiday with this year. 85% of surveyed men said they hoped to receive a gift on Valentine’s Day. 25% of the men surveyed agreed that calling on an ex for a Valentine’s Day date is much better than being alone. 89% of women, on the other hand would prefer to be "smart and single," date-free at home, than contact an ex. The majority of women, 46%, preferred roses or any other type of flowers in honor of the day. This is the gift that men are most likely to give (55%).
Men put more importance on it? That’s really strange. I’m kind of … stumped by that data I guess I could say.
