Consider this a pat on the back to all the dudes out there who will be spending the day/night trying to make some chick happy. We hope it’s worth it. If you’re stuck for ideas, our V-Day post last year was fairly helpful. Good luck out there.

I just wanted to let our loyal readers know that Dyna and I are both incapacitated this weekend. We’re both taking some time to show our girlfriends that we care (read: keep them from dumping us). I’m at Disney and he’s on a cruise so we may be out of touch for a bit. While you’re here, leave us some comments and let us know what you ended up doing for Valentine’s Day. We’ll make fun of you when we return.

I’m sure a few of you let the date slip past you. It’s February 14th…Valentine’s Day, quite possibly the most feared day of the year for dudes with girlfriends and the most hated by dudes without. If you fall into either category, which you kind of have to, it can actually be a pretty awesome day if you make the right decisions.

For those of you who have a special someone in your life, don’t go overboard with gifts. A lot of girls expect something, whether it be something simple like flowers or something ridiculous like a diamond bracelet. You may feel the desire to please your girl by getting her whatever she wants. After all, it’s a special day. But what about next year? If you get her some expensive jewelry this year, you’ll feel cheap if you just get her flowers next year. You’ll constantly feel the need to outdo yourself each year and eventually you’ll be in the poor house. Be smart about your gift-giving.

Better yet, don’t even focus on things. Do something with her. Even something as simple as mini-golf can be a fun way to get outdoors together and do something different. If your chick’s really cool, maybe you can talk her into going bowling or something.

What if you don’t have a special someone? Go out and find one. This is the time of year when most single girls will get all mad at the fact that they’re single, grab their single friends, and go out for a night on the town. Plus all the taken girls will be dragging their boyfriends to the movies or dinner, so pretty much every girl you see at the bar/club will be available. Unfortunately, this also means that all the other single dudes will be cruisin’ for chicks too, so the competition will be fierce. Be strong, be confident, and don’t be a jackass. Oh, and beware of cougars..unless they’re exceptionally hot or rich ones.

That’s all I’ve got. Good luck, dude.

It’s almost Valentine’s day. Before you run screaming for the hills, you should check out this site. KnickerPicker.com lets you play dress up with a real (and quite hot) model to see what kind of under garments might suit your lady’s fancy. It’s got a number of different styles ranging from corsets to thongs. They also provide some buying tips for clueless dudes, like how to find out your girl’s bra size without getting your ass kicked.

It’s a great way to get ideas for a V-Day gift. At least that’s the excuse you can use if your girlfriend catches you drooling over this chick in different undies.
