Four Unexpected Valentine’s Day Trends

More women prefer staying in for Valentine’s Day, arcade dates are trending, and over half of women think Valentine’s Day proposals are overrated. Are we doing this holiday all wrong?

Google just released some fresh Valentine’s Day stats, and candy maker Ferrero also released a poll.  Here are a few surprising Valentine’s Day trends . . .

1.  Most women would rather stay in.  63% say celebrating at home sounds like more fun than going out, and 55% of men agreed.  62% overall think a home-cooked meal is more romantic than a fancy restaurant.

2.  52% of women think Valentine’s Day proposals are overrated.  So, if you’re planning to propose this Friday . . . there’s one more thing to stress about.

3.  Google says the top trending Valentine’s Day date this year is hitting up an ARCADE.  (???)  Zoos are next, then couples spas.  “Paint and sip” parties also made the Top 10.  That’s where you paint while you get drunk.

4.  41% of men want a male equivalent to Galentine’s Day.  The show “Parks and Recreation” came up with Galentine’s in 2010.  They defined it as “ladies celebrating ladies.”  It’s always on the 13th.  

What would the male equivalent be?  Malentine’s Day?  Guyentine’s Day?

Meet Scott and Sadie: the anti-heroes of morning radio turned podcast renegades. Scott’s 40 years in broadcasting have left him fluent in snark, while Sadie’s nepotistic origins (thanks, Mom!) brought the unfiltered charm that made them a Northern Colorado favorite. After corporate radio ghosted them harder than a bad Tinder date, the duo ditched FCC babysitters and went full rogue. Now, they’re back with a podcast that’s equal parts wit, sarcasm, and a big middle finger to mediocrity. Loyal fans, curious newcomers, or algorithm strays—welcome to the chaos.
