Because Our Emotions Are Reactionary:
That’s to say, we don’t show emotions until strongly provoked into doing so. Blame this on generations of fathers who told their sons to “man up” until restraint became part of our genetic code — and acknowledge that, Most of the time, you like this quality in us.
No woman wants a whimpering wet towel of a partner who’s always ready to offer up his feelings, and our awareness of this makes us all the more restrained. So when it comes to Valentine’s, that most sentimental of holidays, we are subject to two opposing forces: genetic instincts that tell us to “man up” and resist participating, and social instincts that tell us to get on the phone and ring in some roses. Neurons begin misfiring, the brain shuts down, and, next thing you know… we’ve forgotten Valentine’s Day...and obviously to get you (dream girl) anything nice to show off to your friends...
