“It would be cool to have my girlfriend organise a day out – just the two of us. Something outdoorsy and intimate, but still fun, like a picnic. And, I won’t lie, it’d be nice to have her wear some cute new underwear she knows I’ll love, then throw little hints at what might lie in store later.” – Clinton (28),Cape Town

“Allow me a free pass (no guilt-trip attached) for an hour of 18 holes of golf at my favourite course – to be redeemed anytime.” Kwanele (30), Joburg

“Cook me my favourite meal, let me watch what I want on TV, buy me tickets to some big sporting match… Sounds like Xmas!” – PJ (21), Cape Town

“Ignore it completely! Rather take me out for dinner or a walk on the beach the day before, the day after, or do something cool at any other time. “ – Emmanuel (29), Pietermaritzburg

“A surprise five-star weekend holed up in a hotel room with nothing but sexy lingerie and a hot tub.” – Kgomotso (32) Joburg

“No chick-flick Valentines. It would be really cool if we could have a chilled evening in, watching my favourite guy movies – and her actually enjoying them.” – Sizwe (26), East London

“Simple pleasures: a beach picnic or trip to the Winelands.” – Tom (28), Cape Town

“The key to a man’s heart really is his stomach... and his liver. So great food and good booze are way to go. And remember: keep it simple. A great steak and beer is my idea of gourmet food.” – Vuyo (26), Port Elizabeth
