If you are a guy who is worried because you do not have the money to get your woman an expensive gift this Valentine, a new research says you are worrying yourself over nothing.
Apparently, all that women really want for Valentine’s Day is a hug and not diamonds or expensive jewellery… Not sure if this applies to our Ghanaian women thought! LOL.
The study says that, given the choice, nine in ten women would choose a thoughtful, romantic gesture over a luxury gift of diamonds.

While many men believe jewellery and lingerie is the way to a woman’s heart, most women would be happy with something that costs nothing such as a loving cuddle or a handwritten poem.
The study found that a quarter of women would like their partner to write them a romantic poem, while eight per cent are hoping for a passionate embrace.
But not every woman will be satisfied with a humble hug. A quarter of the female respondents to the British Heart Foundation survey revealed they would love to be whisked away for a luxury trip abroad this Valentine’s Day.
BHF Retail Director, Mike Taylor, said: ‘This survey shows you don’t have to spend large sums of money to woo your other half this Valentine’s Day.
‘In fact, romantic gestures like writing a love note or even just a hug can make your partner’s day.’
The research was carried out as part of the British Heart Foundation’s annual Love Notes fundraising campaign.
Celebrities including Joey Essex, Mollie King, Mary Berry, Rick Parfitt, Fern Britton and Phil Vickery have all posted their Love Notes messages in BHF Shops.
But although male A-listers seemed to understand the power of a romantic gesture – step forward Joey Essex – real men haven’t quite gotten there yet.
According to the survey, one in ten believe that cooking dinner is the way to a woman’s heart, while a similar number thought that expensive jewellery or a day out shopping were guaranteed brownie point bankers.
Nearly one in ten men (nine per cent) believe lingerie is the best gift, despite the fact that just one per cent of women agree.
Interestingly, five per cent think that doing the housework is the most romantic gesture they could possibly make, while another two per cent astonishingly thought that not watching sport all weekend would do the trick for their other half.
To the men,do you really think your African woman will be pleased with a romantic hug this Valentine compared to an expensive gift or some cash? And to the women, what do you really want for Valentine? Do you agree with the research?
Mr or Mr Miss Dailymail if these things could help in ghana it would benefit allot of men out there, I’m sure this test where done on those White people but Valentine or no Valentine,the heart knows where it belongs..
