DATING, INTIMACY + TAKING TIME FOR YOURSELF: WOMEN CELEBRATE VALENTINE'S DAY THEIR WAY

February 12, 2019

Summer’s Eve shares a few stats that they obtained in terms of how women put the “V” in V'-Day. Here we get the inside scoop on how women feel about this day in terms of celebrating this holiday.

Tradition Still Wins the Day

· 71 percent of respondents still say that a romantic night out with their plus one is the ideal way to spend V-Day. And 45 percent of women want the traditional fanfare (dinner, movie and flowers).

· Still nearly a quarter (23%) of respondents would rather celebrate Valentine’s Day unconventionally – from going on a group date to opting to spend the day with friends.

The Perfect Valentine’s Day?

· These are the top things respondents said they’d most like included in their Valentine’s Day plans.

o A romantic dinner: 67 percent

o Having sex: 49 percent

o Being intimate: 47 percent

o Receiving flowers: 47 percent

o Receiving chocolates: 43 percent

Solo, Coupled Up or Group

· There are many different ways to celebrate V-Day, and although 71 percent of women still prefer to have a romantic night out, more than a quarter still opt to spend the night alone, while 22 percent think spending the day with friends is the way to go.

Self-Care is the Best Care

· 67 percent of respondents believe self-care is especially important around Valentine’s Day. And what part of their body are they pampering the most? That would be the vagina with 22 percent of the vote, beating out the face for the most self-cared for body part!

The Internal Struggle is Real …

· More than half (57%) of women surveyed said Valentine’s Day is overrated.

· But still, 56 percent say they do feel heavy pressure to have a date for Valentine’s Day!

Finding a Plus One

· When it comes to coupling up for the big day, women take many measures to find a V-Day plus one!

o 24 percent have found someone in a bar or club to spend Valentine’s Day with and 23 percent have found someone on a dating app.

o A quarter of those surveyed have even gone back to an ex to ensure they don’t spend the holiday alone!

Let’s Get Physical

· When it comes to V-Day, intimacy is still high on the agenda for most women, with more than 53 percent saying it’s important to be intimate on the holiday of love.

· Taking it one step further, 29 percent said they planned to try something sexually new and adventurous in honor of V-Day!

Uncuffing Season?

· Three in 10 women have had a relationship end (either been broken up with/broke up with someone) right before or on Valentine's Day.

· No date, no problem! And when looking at older millennials, 66 percent say the reason for the breakup was to get out of making plans or buying a gift.

Indecent Proposal

· Get up off that knee! A quarter of that same millennial audience cited being proposed to as one of the tackiest things that could happen to them on Valentine’s Day.

Love It or Hate It?

· At the end of the day, 66 percent of women agree that they actually like Valentine’s Day. Cue the roses!

Date Night Essentials

· What items are “clutch” in any date night bag? Women said they carry the following when out on a date:

o Cash: 61 percent

o Lip balm: 53 percent

o Makeup: 45 percent

o Perfume: 44 percent

o Gum: 42 percent

o Hair tie/bobby pins: 31 percent

o Feminine cleansing cloths: 27 percent

o Toothbrush: 24 percent
