Sydney radio producer Jana Hocking reveals the ‘lie’ all single women tell about Valentine’s Day
Only one radio producer, 34, reveals the huge “lie” all women tell about Valentine’s Day – so do you agree?
- Jana Hocking thinks anyone who says they hate Valentine’s Day is a ‘liar’
- Triple M producer says critics view vacations as a defense mechanism
- She says she “hasn’t seen” a woman complaining about receiving a gift on February 14th.
- 34-year-old thinks men show affection on ‘V Day’ if they’re genuinely interested
An “eternally single” radio producer accused women who say they “don’t believe in Valentine’s Day” of lying to hide their bitterness of being alone.
Jana Hocking, who works at Sydney’s Triple M station, says opponents view the iconic vacations as a defense mechanism because they are jealous of the couples they love.
The 34-year-old, who writes about her relationships and romantic escapades, says she has “not yet seen” a woman receive a bouquet of flowers on February 14 and complain about it.

‘I call it people …[it’s] Complete and total BS! I refuse to believe anyone who says they don’t “believe” in Valentine’s Day. Liar, liar, pants on fire! she said news.com.au.
Ms Hocking – who says she hasn’t had a Valentine for six years – has also offered advice to early-dating women who might question the sincerity of their new beau.
She recounted an unfortunate Valentine’s Day date of 2018 when she went to dinner with a man she had been seeing for a few weeks.
As their relationship was only just beginning, Ms Hocking confessed that she had “secretly hoped” that her suitor would arrive with a rose or some other sign of her affection.

Instead, he showed up empty-handed in swim shorts with a half-hearted excuse for forgetting a gift: “Yes, I thought about giving you a rose, but I got busy. Sorry.’
Ms Hocking identified her behavior as a red flag and urged other women to do the same.
“Ladies, if he can’t walk by a gas station and at least pick you up a single red rose at the start of a relationship, does he really love you?” No, no, he’s not, ”she said.
Earlier this month, an Australian relationship coach issued a warning about Valentine’s Day breakups, which are more common on February 14 than you might think.
Perth dating expert Louanne Ward said ‘lovers’ day’ was causing problems after the difficult Christmas and New Years period, during which more couples broke up than at any other moment.
December 11 is the most popular day for breakups each year.
“It turns out that many singles are desperate for a date before February 14, their coupled counterparts are desperate to quit,” Ms Ward told Daily Mail Australia.
“Coming out of the holiday season can create tensions and issues which, when left unresolved in the New Year, translate into an increased desire to break up before the mating season really hits its peak.”

Ms Ward spoke to singles and couples across the country and found that half of Australians surveyed had had an argument with their partner on Valentine’s Day, proving the season “represents a time for reflection and heat conversation for many couples ”.
According to Ms. Ward’s research, the main cause of breakup is lack of romance.
About 50% of women said they had ended – or would end – a relationship if they didn’t (or wouldn’t) make an effort if their partner didn’t make an effort on D-Day.
