So, Who Really Loves Valentine’s Day?
Gold diggers.
Why? Because it’s another day (re: excuse) to soak their spouses/significant others/guys that they’re stringing along to buy them massive presents and other worthless trinkets.
The bargaining power of gold diggers is quite awesome…the potential that if the suitor has earned their respect via buying x amount of stuff/giving x amount of dollars, then they may get to “the goods”.
I’ve never really understood this rationale…from an outsider’s perspective, it would be a lot cheaper and more productive to take that money to improve yourself. Honestly, and good woman worth a damn won’t insist on having you buy her expensive gifts, but will be appreciative when you actually do.
Now, I’m not saying that you never buy your mate a gift, because women don’t like cheapskates (ladies, it’s a guy thing…we all have to fight through it), but purchasing your way into someone’s heart, or pants, never works in the long run. Things like communication, common interests, trust, etc. works a lot more…and the best thing is, it’s free!
