There is a scam that has begun circling the Internet, postal mail, televsion ads, newspaper ads, and the radios recently. This isn’t the first time it has plagued America and the world as a whole. Now is the time to stop it dead in its tracks and the best way to do that is to be informed.
This scam is directed at men and women both, with different approaches for each. It has evolved over the many years it has been in circulation to be very potent and direct. It uses the needs and desires of both genders to convince them both into buying into it. Affectionately named “Valentine’s Day” by its supporters, it is designed with one goal in mind: to trick men (and sometimes women) into spending money.
This scam takes on many shapes and forms, but there is a common pattern that applies. It begins by invoking feelings of love, and warmth in women. It does this through agitprop consiting of images of loving relationships: holding hands, kissing, having a picnic in the park, and candlelight dinners. One easy way to determine if you are being subjected to Valentine’s Day propaganda is by the overall message of the advertisement. If, in the end, the advertisement suggests that a man should BUY you something on a specific date in order to show you that he loves you or that he cares for you, there is a high chance that you are watching the work of a scam artist.
In order to overcome this, it is important that our women understand that, regardless of what a man purchases you, it doesn’t mean that he loves you any more, and that he cares for you any deeper. When this scam operates as intended, women will see an elevated level of affection from the men in their life, however, this will not last for more than a week, and not more than a day in most cases.
Secondly, it effects men by convincing them that, in exchange for a gift on this particular day, women will be inclined to offer them the sex. And not just any sex, but sex bordering on the best they have ever had. Studies have shown that less than 5% of women provide additional sex on a continual basis after this day, regardless of the expense of the gift being given. While it is true that more women feel inclined to provide sex on this particular day due to the brainwashing effects of the propaganda in use, studies have been unable to show any link between the quality of that sex and the gift that is given.
In fact, studies show that the continual giving of smaller, less expensive gifts on days that are NOT Valentine’s Day, tend to stimulate more sex from female partners. In order to stop this scam dead in its tracks, men should abstain from Valentine’s Day gift giving entirely. It is important to note that, while the propaganda is still affecting the women of this world, choosing not to participate in such activities will have negative effects on those women. In order to avoid, or at least lessen, this effect, men should provide a continuous (I suggest weekly) stream of gifts for one month prior to Valentine’s Day, and for at least two months afterwards. However, it is important that men ensure that NO gift giving, in any form, occurs on Valentine’s Day.
While this article addresses Valentine’s Day in its most common operational fashion, it is possible, and highly likely, that this scam will manifest itself in ways this article does not describe. For instance, in some cases the genders that would usually be affected by this scam are reversed, where the man becomes the individual expecting a gift, and the woman becomes the individual who feels she has to purchase one. Additionaly, it can operate in its standard fashion, and its reversed fashion at the same time, resulting in a double whammy. With same sex relationships, it is very common that both members of the relationship will feel the pull from both sides of the scam.
As a man who enjoys gift giving more than most, my opnion on this matter should not be taken lightly. Act NOW, and help to stomp out Valentine’s Day.
