As we approach Valentine’s Day, many women envision receiving gifts that perfectly express their significant others feelings for them and many men dread the fact that they have no idea what that gift might be. [Of course they may not have viewed the various gifts – Teddy Bears, jewelry boxes, journals, clothing lines and more – which I offer at my online store] Given this annual flurry of emotions I wanted to mention a couple of items that give an interesting perspective.
One of the most interesting items I’ve seen in a while takes place on an island off the west coast of Africa. Orange Island has a tradition that takes the traditional approach of man chases woman and turns them on their head. There, only the women pick the men and once chosen there is no refusal on the man’s part. This is an ancient tradition that has led to few divorces. ‘Modern’ culture is making its way on to the island, as is higher divorce rates, but most still live by the tradition. I’m not sure if, or how that might work in America – or anywhere else in the world – but it definitely would be different. Perhaps the focus should be on the ladies to identify and go after the man of their choice? [My online store has many items for men as well] Give it a try this Valentine’s Day, if you are single what have you got to lose?
A completely different way to find a mate could be the new Dutch idea of Naked Sunday workouts. It’s not exactly what you might think. This concept applies to going to a gym and working out. It seems there is a growing group of Dutch that have interest in this idea, and at least one gym is going to give it a try. I have to say I’m not sure I could do it. I’m not embarrassed about my body at all, but I do realize that I’m far from a Schwarzenegger build. Still I suppose that it would be a great motivation to improve my build a bit. I’d love to see the numbers of how many people wind up meeting and getting married after going there. It’s almost worth taking a trip to the Netherlands and finding out. Maybe when I take a vacation this year. I’ll let you know.
But focusing back here at home there is some news that is a complication to some. It seems that a recent poll of women in 10 cities finds that good clothes are more important than good sex. If that is not distressing enough, a new wardrobe is worth up to 15 months of celibacy with 2% willing to go the long haul of 3 years. Talk about killing the romantic spirit.
Get ready for this on guys. All those movies women love to watch, or books they read, that discuss the wonders of love at first site are crap. Why would I say that? 70% of the ones in the survey said that they do believe in love at first site, when it applies to clothing. Only 54% believe it in a man. Talk about materialism in action. Perhaps the worst thing is that a survey done by Unilever found that 48% of women were more sexually confident from their favorite article of clothing, as opposed to their man.
I guess that for all the men in America, getting the right clothing for you lady is the best gift for Valentine’s Day. Or anytime you give her a gift. [I better see the views go up at the online store, for your sake guys.] As for me, it sounds like a trip overseas may be the ticket.
This is what I think, what do you think?
