This Year it’s a Barry White vs. Small Appliance Cage Match

In the survey seven out of ten Dutchmen say that Valentine’s Day is ‘unattractive’ to them. Phrases they use to describe the day are ‘juvenile’, ‘commercial’ and ‘of little substance’.

Which is sad, because any pretext to snog is a good one as far as humanoids with a pulse are concerned. The womenfolk, though, seem a lot less self-conscious about it than these robotic, rutting, romantically deficient oafs:

Dutch women are more prone to give Valentine’s Day a positive review. Forty percent say that they are excited about celebrating it, whilst only twenty-five percent of Dutch men share their enthusiasm.

Anthropogenic terminology can account for the visible disparity, however.
