Valentine's Day Gifts: The Venn Diagram Gender Study of What Makes a Good Gift

Categories: Whatever

The clock's ticking on the Valentine's Day hunt, dudes. Do you know what to get?

If you are the owner of a penis, probably not. What guys think are appropriate and acceptable gifts, and what women think are appropriate and acceptable gifts, are seldom the same thing.

How do we know this? Venn diagrams. Those things you learned about back in elementary school, showing two sets via circles which intersected to show items both sets had in common.

So behold these diagrams of what makes a good Valentine's gift, traced through the various stages of a relationship:

Shit, you couldn't make love to Tom Waits? And I mean that in both of the ways it could be interpreted.

I visited Carmen's Boutique and found some fun (but unspeakable) Valentine's gifts for my wife and mistress.

You have your priorities all wrong: Money can't buy you love. But some gifts can spur testosterone and all the attendant excitement and memory-creating chemistry that you'll retire to your deathbed with. Yet, with *whom* you wish to share that gift, wife or lover, is up to the giver. I say why not both?
