The Answer to Valentine's Day: Shoes.

Why guys should buy shoes for their special someone on V-Day

Fact #1: Women are always self conscious about their weight.
Fact #2: Most men do not know their girlfriends size.
Alas! Do not buy her clothes unless you would like to have a very angry girlfriend. Imagine if you bought clothes for your girl on the most romantic day of the year and she loved them- but they were too small. Do you think she wants to dive into that box of chocolates you bought her? Sounds more like she's going for the tissue box because she thinks she's fat (even though you think she's perfect). On the other side of the spectrum, you try to play it safe and buy a size too big. I hope you brought your helmet because if your girl wears a 4 and you buy her a 10, she's going to be throwing some serious punches.

Over generations jewelry has become one of the most popular Valentine's Day gifts because there is no size to guess. However it can burn a hole in your pocket- very fast. Diamonds, gold and silver are all very nice expressions of your appreciation but what if there was a cheaper way to make your girl feel good? Shoes.  

Women love shoes: that's a fact. 

Fact #3: "While sales of most things have plummeted thanks to the recession, footwear sales have gone up compared to the same period last year" (Cosmo).
Fact #4: Not all shoes are expensive. Stores such as Forever 21 and websites like zappos.com have cute shoes for cheaper prices in this recession.
Fact #5: Shoes make women happy-it's scientifically proven (as if it even had to be).
When women put on shoes it raises their self esteem by the body's release of dopamine (one of the bodies "happy" hormones). It instantly spikes a release of happiness to the woman. As well it also gives women a feeling of power. The actual added height makes women feel more powerful as well as feeling like the sexiest thing alive. What is better than making your woman feel happy and sexy all on Valentine's day? You get to watch her and that happiness rubs off on you.

The goods.

For less than 20 dollars, the shoes to the left from Forever 21 ($17.99 on clearance) will make her drool. The black heel matches almost everything she could wear on Valentines Day (which will probably be red or pink).

But if your girl is more of a brown lover (right) try these, (Forever 21) booties. They have a small heel for a girl that doesn't love the extreme or doesn't want to stand out. ($17.99 clearance).

These are just some of the fabulous shoes for low prices. There are so many out there and Valentine's Day is Monday so get shopping.

Don't know how to get her size in shoes? No problem, try this conversation with her next time:

"Your feet are so small and cute next to my huge feet? How small are they?"

Trust me the mixture of the compliment and question, won't make her think that's what she's getting.

Single?

Shoes still make a woman feel good. SO forget about men and treat yourself to a less-than-$20 pair. You'll thank yourself when you're out with your girlfriends Monday and you feel super confident.
