Male DJ: Did you know that men spend more time planning for the Super Bowl than for Valentine’s Day?
Female DJ: I’m not surprised.

My thoughts: Well, yeah, sure, men who are interested in football, anyway. (That might even be most men, I don’t know–none of the guys I know are into football.) And why not? Why shouldn’t they be more interested in planning a party for an event they’re actually interested in, rather than planning how to show their love in a suitably cliche, homogenized fashion on an arbitrary date with too much importance placed on it? The stereotype is that most men think Valentine’s Day is a chore, a reluctant obligation, and I really don’t blame them. I think so too. I’d rather make plans to do something I find exciting, also.

So, yeah…male stereotype that guys care more about sports than romance, but really…lots of people care more about their hobbies than shit like Valentine’s Day. It’s probably a good thing.
