The nation’s women are set for disappointment this Valentine’s Day, as modern men are rubbish when it comes to chivalry, a new study has found.<\/p>\n

According to the Lindt Lindor Code of Modern Chivalry report, more than three quarters of girls would like to get a poem or romantic letter from their hot soldier, but less than half of guys have ever done either.<\/p>\n

Relationship expert Jenni Trent Hughes said: "We may no longer be knights in shining armour or damsels in distress, but we still want and need romance – it is part of our emotional DNA."<\/p>\n

While many blokes will make a pig’s ear of Valentine’s Day, the study revealed a few things they can do to make sure it goes well.<\/p>\n

The first is that they pick up the bill for a romantic meal, as a third of women say they would expect the man to pay.<\/p>\n

Troops should also keep their eyes on their date, as 80 per cent of girls said they would get the hump if their date was ogling other women.<\/p>\n

Switching off the mobile phone is another must, with a whopping 98 per cent of ladies saying they would get upset if a bloke was texting someone.<\/p>\n

A recent study by ROLO revealed that a hug and a kiss are what women want the most for Valentine’s Day.<\/p>\n
