For many men, February 14th is the most dreaded day of the year. It’s a day in which our boundless capacity for bad taste comes to the fore. Though well-intentioned, when it comes to women and romance, we’re clueless. You might not know it, but shopping for women is the biggest cause of anxiety among American men.
