Re-posting an essay titled Real Men Do Romance each year on Valentine’s Day has become a Just Another Ordinary Day tradition. The essay, originally published in 2014, takes the form of a letter written to my sons, but is intended for all men who roam the earth in a state of perpetual confusion over romantic protocol, thanks to radical liberal feminist propaganda. For the record, real men do romance and real women (yes, even the liberated ones) are suckers for it…especially on Valentines Day. Celebrate and be happy.

How Will You Spend Valentine’s Day This Year?
You know those those social media quizzes that analyze your profile and render some sort of profound insight about you? I did one today to find out how I’d be spending Valentine’s Day. This was the result.
Funny, but there is a very good chance I will find myself at the movies with my sugar daddy husband on Valentine’s Day. We’ve been seeing a lot of movies lately, often three or even four a week. In fact, this may be the first time ever, in my entire life, that I will have seen every film nominated for an Academy Award before the award show airs. Too bad there’s not enough Pepsid in the world for me to watch. Anyway, why have my sugar daddy husband and I become such filmophiles of late? Two words: Movie Pass.
Word to the Wise on Valentines Day: Real Men Do Romance
This is the annual Valentines Day reposting of Real Men Do Romance, first published in 2013.
Enjoy… and Happy Valentines Day.
Dear Christian and Jared,
Today is Valentine’s Day so it seems a good day to remind you there’s something to be said for good, old-fashioned, romantic rituals. Even though you probably think Valentine’s Day is mostly a money gauging Hallmark-led conspiracy, rest assured girls still like it. And by the way, did you know Valentine’s Day was first linked to romantic love in the mid-14th century before Hallmark even existed? It was a time when courtly love flourished and a gentleman was expected to be noble and chivalrous in expressing his love and admiration for a lady. Sadly, good, old-fashioned romance has fallen out of style these days.

If the following post seems familiar, it’s because I began publishing it for Valentine’s Day in 2013. Happy Valentine’s Day.
