Last month was the month of romance in many couple’s lives. The month of Valentine’s Day. According to our anonyMRS contributors, some husbands are not as romantic as they would like them to be – as evidenced in their poor choices for presents.
Recently I ran into an infographic that may explain why your spouse is not as romantic as you wish they would be. It is call the State of Love Report. They tracked 2.1 million conversations about Valentine’s Day on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, forums and the blogosphere and compiled their findings into the infographic shown below.

My husband is not romantic at ALL (unless you count his love affairs with sports teams ) We are somewhere in the middle in Chicago Illinois.., I like this!
Alyssa McVey says
That’s really interesting! I’ve never seen romance charted geographically. Pretty neat!
Stacey Werner says
I know, Alyssa! Kind of funny way of looking at Valentine’s Day!
Rosemary says
Lucky me! I do live in one of the most romantic states. Interesting to see that one of the most romantic, Wyoming, is right next door to one of the least, South Dakota. I guess romance doesn’t cross state lines!
Stacey Werner says
Hilarious, Rosemary! Maybe it is afraid of getting arrested? đŸ˜‰
Darcy says
Wisconsin is not that bad…. hubby is a quiet romantic. I question accuracy of data compiled from social media updates & comments lol
Stacey Werner says
I know, but I thought it was an interesting (and fun) idea!
lena says
Very interesting approach – my state seems like a middle color, but there are plenty of blue states around us
Beth P says
I was born in a red state and have moved a few times. Now I live in one of the worst, lol! But my hubby’s romance level hasn’t changed. He is a really good gift giver :-). This is def an interesting infographic though, thank for sharing!
Kathleen says
Interesting! I don’t live in the states but I do think the way people act can be influenced by where they live, I just don’t know if it’s measurable to that point.
Savannah miller says
lol I love the infographic, but I live in PA and my hubby is def. not romantic at all!! I guess it could just be him though!
Sharon says
That’s a crazy infographic! Really interesting – don’t know how accurate it, but it def caught my attention and made me check out my state.
