Plaintiff Arguments [Feb 8, 2010]

in an attempt to be romantic, I ordered my fiance some sexy lingerie for Valentines day. She intercepted the package, opened it and then called me a pig for thinking she would dress up in a slutty get-up. It was from Victorias Secret, not Fredericks of Hollywood. I thought it would be a nice way to have some fun seeing that we just got engaged. Am I wrong here?

Defendant Arguments [Feb 8, 2010]

I just dont think Valentines Day should be associated with sex. Yes it should be romantic but romantic does not equal sex. Guys just take the easy way out and buy lingerie, chocolates or flowers. Thats all horse shit you see in the movies. How about a nice home cooked dinner and a poem or card about how much you love me? That would turn me on more than putting on some skimpy outfit.

Depends on the lingerie. Some of their stuff is pretty, some is cheap.

You obviously want a homosexual man instead of the one you have if you are expecting him to write you POETRY. Be glad he got you something at all - he's a man they usually are thinking or acting on behalf of their little heads, and those are not interested in poems, or cards.

However misguided the attempt might be considered to be, it was still an attempt, and a pretty decent one. It is entirely possible to refuse wearing it while still acknowledging the sentiment of the gesture. But honestly, if they're really engaged and she still can't figure out he's gonna want some sugar for valentine's day (present or no present)... come on!!

If what he wants is for you to be sexy, why is it so hard to be nice , instead of complaining

be happy he's getting you something and the fact that he actually wants to see you half naked. i got my wife a juniper bonsai tree...whatever. what did u get him?

Valentine's day is there just to make people spend money. Its sad that you need a day to express your love for someone. What about the rest of the 364 days in the year? Also you want him to go to the trouble of doing all those romantic things for you but you don't want to give him what he wants. Thats pretty inconsiderate and selfish

maybe he did have something romantic planned and the lingerie was the cake topper, ya ungrateful tramp.

		kamel wrote:[Feb 9, 2010]
When men buy women sexy lingerie it is usually for themselves rather than a "real" gift. They are thinking about what they want rather than what their lady wants.

		EvilPenguin wrote:[Feb 9, 2010] Hey...
...my husband and I don't get caught up in the Valentine's Day thing but I don't know folks who want to use it as an excuse to be romantic. Some folks need it as an ice breaker or they just enjoy it for whatever reason. But you should never dump on a guy who has at least made an effort. Yes, he's a heterosexual male who would like to jump you. Be flattered that he's still attracted to you and that he's trying to do the right thing. If you cut him off at the knees when he makes an effort, whether or not it's on the mark, eventually he'll just stop trying.

		Quimichu wrote:[Feb 9, 2010] Well...
... I'm fairly certain that I wouldn't be so thrilled either if my wife gave me something she would enjoy (way more than I would) as a Valentines Day gift; on the other hand hoping for poetry from the guy who thought lingerie would be a nice gift might be asking for too much.

Dude... from the sounds of things, I bet you'd lose no matter what you got her.

evil and mensa.... i totally agree. what is wrong with this woman? chicks are crazy

Valentine's Day should be both partners doing things for each other that are unique to a romantic, intimate and sexual relationship. Not just the man doing things for his woman to 'deserve' her. You just got engaged and while his particular choice of lingere might have been more for his tastes...you should welcome his continued desire and passion for you (because if sex is something you see as his selfish, only what he wants activity...HE SHOULDN'T marry you!) He could have written a poem, made a great meal at home, a picnic or to a restaurant you went to when dating, but then you (doing your Valentine's gesture for him) could have gotten the lingere. While Valentine's Day shouldn't always be primarily about sex, it is the sexual aspect that makes the holiday about COUPLES...it's not friends, pals or BFF Day! And sex seen by either party as a drag, a bore or chore is a sign your relationship is dead on the vine.
