"Time
Together" Tops Men's (but not Women's) Valentine's Day Gift
Desires
Survey Uncovers Surprising
"He
Said/She Said" Revelations
From
Princess Cruises
Are men more sentimental than we
think? Surprisingly, men are more likely than women to value time
together for Valentine's Day, according to a Valentine's Day survey
conducted by Princess Cruises. And, contrary to conventional
wisdom, men are actually more (not less) in touch with knowing which
gifts their partners most want to receive.
The results of the national survey illustrate that at least one
day each year men prove to be the more romantic of the sexes. Candy,
time together/love or a card/note are men's most desired gifts, while
time together/love ranked fifth on women's lists, and a
card/note barely registered at all (coming in at a measly two
percent). Women overwhelmingly preferred to receive jewelry or
flowers.
When it comes to Valentine's Day gift
giving, men are more attuned to women's gift preferences than women
are to men's. The top five gifts men tend to give are jewelry,
flowers, candy/chocolate, dinner, and a trip/vacation—a direct
correlation to what women desire. Women, on the other hand, seem to
think that men want jewelry, candy, dinner, trip/vacation or clothes,
which is far off from the men's actual desire of time together or a
card/note.
