Since this year is leap year and women are supposed to spoil their men rotten instead of the other way around, Review asked men if they expect treats on this day and if they still put effort into making the day special for their partner.
William Gadney: I do believe that Valentines Day is something both should enjoy. I think that both deserve something for Valentines Day. Love is a two-way street that requires equal effort from both.
POLOKWANE – Red hearts, chocolates and Cupid-cards fill most of the shops this time of the year. The month of love, February, also has Valentines Day, the one day in the year where most people go out and splurge money on their loved ones. Some might tell you that everyday is Valentines Day, but what they do not know is that roses received on V-day smell a lot sweeter and chocolates melt in your mouth a lot quicker.

Tony Naudé: I do not do anything special on Valentines Day. In fact, my other half is spoilt as much as I can on a daily basis without needing to spend inflated prices. I also prefer not receiving any Valentines Day gifts.
Wikus Pansegrouw: I use Valentines Day to cook a proper meal and spoil my girlfriend with a gift or two. I do not expect anything back.

Andries de Beer: I do not expect any treats for Valentines Day, but since effort is part of the whole day, I put in effort. Effort towards your relationship is suppose to be an everyday thing.
