Twitter: Men hate Valentine’s Day

While women are flocking to Twitter to tweet their hearts out this Valentine’s Day, men are more interested in complaining.

The tweets are flooding into Twitter with popular topics trending like ‘Happy Valentines Day’, ‘Relationships end because’ and ‘Today is Tuesday.’

According to NM Incite’s research, 66% of women are tweeting about Valentine’s Day compared to just 34% of men. Even though 11% of these female tweets are negative, the majority are using Twitter to express their positive thoughts about the day.
