9. Andrew Faulkner, Dublin

Andrew loves Freebies! He printed off a Tesco Value range Valentine's card for his girlfriend as a thank you for dinner, and borrows her clothes.

10. Alan Cooe, Dublin

Alan is so unromantic that he thinks it's okay to get his wife jewelry from a pet shop. Yup. She received a silver disc engraved with her name on the front and 'microchipped and spayed' on the back!

Think your guy has these ones beat? Sound off in the comments below!

Damien Wallace has a keen sens of economic values and puts money ahead of romance. Maybe he can have the best of both world in future by buying the chocolastes well in advance of 14 Feb. at a much lesser cost and presenting to his beloved on St. Valentine's Day. By doing so he cn be romantic and thrifty at the same time.

Whose the couch potatoe reaching for his (ahem!) Darby [O'Gill], in the beer stained vest, in his grotty flat in Rathmines? Just about as erotic as the charge of the cellulite brigade in Sligo a few posts back. God be with the good ol' days of sexually repressed modesty in De Valera's Ireland.

An Irish cardinal who comes out against gay marriage is being romantic. Why can't the ladies appreciate that?

All very extreme examples carefully selected to demonise men, as usual. Why are women so obsessed with "BEING WOMEN" and always feel that they're being victimised and inflicted upon by men? Women don't know what they want - they never have and never will. A lot of them are deluded that men find them attractive. Just keep staring into space ladies - you might find some testosterone that way, although I doubt it.

These men do not deserve to have a wife or girlfriend - or A DOG! The level of self-involvement and selfishness described in these men make them sound like bad jokes and they are all despicable.

Oh brother, what losers those guys are. As for the women, either they knew or didn't but if I was married to one of them, I'd be getting a divorce lawyer.
