Q: Men outspend women on Valentines Day, but even still 28% of men hope for this from their partner. What?

A: A meal/dinner

 MEN SPEND MORE THAN WOMEN ON VALENTINE’S DAY GIFTS: Dinner, red roses, chocolates and jewelry – perhaps it’s not surprising that new research finds that men outspend women on gifts for Valentine’s Day by 123-dollars. RetailMeNot, an online coupon website, released data that men spend an average of 287-dollars on Valentine’s Day gifts while women spend just 164-dollars. The average person in a relationship plans to spend around 266-dollars for Valentine’s Day. The research also found that 28-percent of men surveyed hope for a meal on Valentine’s Day, and 19-percent of men said they’d like to receive tickets to an event. Twenty-four-percent of women surveyed said they hope to receive jewelry for Valentine’s Day. (Yahoo)
