What’s the point of Valentine’s Day?
About Makeover Monday
MakeoverMonday is a social data project: “Each week we post a link to a chart, and its data, and then you rework the chart. Maybe you retell the story more effectively, or find a new story in the data. We’re curious to see the different approaches you all take. Whether it’s a simple bar chart or an elaborate infographic, we encourage everyone of all skills to partake. Together we can have broader conversations about and with data.”
Starting from Jan 08, 2018, I decided to put aside one hour on Monday weekly to create some visualization and find some insights from the data.
The datasets are published each week at: MakeoverMonday Datasets.

Yesterday is Valentine’s Day, and today’s dataset is very relavent – ‘what’s the point of Valentine’s Day’. It’s a survey result from UK, asking people what they think are the point of Valentine’s Day. There are sevent options – Show how much you care, sex, to go out for dinner, to impress someone, to receive gifts from someone, to treat yourself, and to buy someone gifts. The original viz can be found here.

Insights
- The top voted point by both men and women is ‘show how much you care’, but the percentage difference is very large (29% vs. 51%);
- Men tend to be much more ‘realistic’ on their views on Valentine’s Day, as their second and third voted points are ‘sex’ and ‘to go out for dinner’ (added up 43% for men, but only 14% for women).
