Dusting off the ol' blogger

So I was recently asked......"What is with the out of date blog site". I thought for a moment and then I asked myself the same question. So as I do every year, i'll go ahead and give the blogger a little jump start and hope that spark will keep this verbal machine running for another year.

It is never easy to just start blogging again so I thought I would start off easy. No extreme rants or anything just a blog on valentine statistics.

Let's start off easy.

The top 5 ways to celebrate V-day are: 1)Cards, 2) Date Night, 3) Candy, 4) Flowers, and 5) Gift Cards.

Since Cards are number 1, it is important to note that approximately half of all cards purchased for V-day are purchased the week before showing the true procrastination of everyone on this fine holiday.

Funny Love

If you are looking for love, here is a funny stat, well from a guys perspective anyway.

There are 120 single men per 100 single women around the 20 age range.

There are 33 single men per 100 single women around the 60 age range.

I bet that would make for a fun graph. Guess all the ladies should be selective when they are young and single but as the years creep on up, grab the best you can get. Older single guys are few and far between.

Retail forecast in the past.

Previously, it was estimated that Guys planned to spend 135.67 on average and ladies planned to spend 68.64 on average.

Funny, it seems to me that 135.67 is a little on the low end for me personally and I have never had a woman spend anywhere near 68.64 on me. Generally its a card or a "what did you get me" waiting for me on V-day.

Okay so it wouldn't be a blog if I didn't throw in a little bit of bias.

Fun way to start.
