Valentines day

I laughed.... SOO HARD at that.. Way to go.

I'm a married man, and while I don't believe in the frilly bullshit people THINK = Love, I still feel within myself that I would sometimes like to do little things that let my wife know I do love her very much.
For instance, I leave her a small, simple note, explaining how I just felt I had to let her know. Sure I think she knows just fine by herself, but I would not pass up an opportunity to remind her. It's romance.

But like Lampy said, the kind of nasty shit that passes for perfume these days DOES smell rather horrible. If I were to get a girl something like that (forget that it suggests to her you would rather not smell her without hosing her down with whale fat), I would go for the kind made of essential oils with natural scents like lavender or jamine. REAL smells. What the fuck is "musk" anyway? :/
 
here's my vday card to all the lovely ladies of WTF!

thought i'd get it over with early
 
I've spent every Valentine's Day alone. I couldn't fucking care less. It's just another day to me.

Besides, my birthday is two days before it so I'm usually distracted with that anyway.
 
Wow, how negative. I happen to love Valentines day and always have. (Even when I was single.) Sure lots of companies make a profit off of the holiday, but who gives a damn? People make a lot of money off of a lot of things. Heck, tour companies are making money off of showing off the Katrina damage in La. So... everyone wants to earn a buck and some of them are doing it. Get over it. I like Valenties day. You may not, and that's ok. But it's not just another reason for money grubbing and making single people feel like shit.
 
no VD is for making people feel shitty to a certain degree... then again anything that's at least partially commercial is used to make people feel shitty. right?personally i don't really like or dislike VD, to me it's usually just my mom's b-day. usually.
 
Personally, I despise Valentine's Day. My memories of it include walking around high school watching these stupid, vain, shallow girls walking around with enough balloons to carry them off into the sky (and god(s) know how many times I wish they had). I don't feel there is any one day that's better than another to let your significant other know how you feel. But the thing that pisses me off the most is, when you're in a relationship on "VD", your girlfriend (this doesn't really apply to men) *EXPECTS* to get something. If you do, it doesn't mean much because you're supposed to do it. If you don't, might as well go chain yourself to the couch, because you're going to be there a while. It's gotten to the point where the holiday is meaningless, just another stupid date to remember.

:thumbsdn: with "VD"!
 
I'm sorry but, Valentines day wasn't made a hundred years ago, (According to my knowledge that is) you should treat the one you love the same everyday, not just because a day says you should show off your love, and buy them presents. :rolleyes:
But, people think that if you do buy stuff on this day, then that's what it takes, so really it's just a vicious cycle.
 
Bleh. (I would've said "meh" but that seems to confuse people around here) I hate the idea of buying gifts on a certain day to express emotion. What the hell is the point? Emotion isn't conveyed through material gifts. A gift is a good way of saying "I was thinking about you." I buy gifts sometimes to express my mental affection, not emotional. An attachment I can have towards "regular" friends, not just "significant others." So here's my idea, I'm going to go buy "VD" gifts for all of my male friends, and none for my gf, then I'm going to see what happens. I'll probably end up on the couch, but it'll be a fun experiment. As long as I don't have to explain to 10 guys that I'm not gay...

On second thought, anybody care to take up this experiment for me? Please?
 
This is very true. People make holidays. When they do, they don't take into consideration each and every person in the world. They just think it's a good idea or they want to honor someone or something. They don't think about who it would hurt or offend. I'm sorry that you all feel so negatively about Valentines Day, but I love it. The flowers, the special supper, the snuggling, all the attention.
 
Well, it's great for you if you like such superficial, hollow bullshit, but some of us strive for something more in this world than a fake smile and a bunch of flowers with no meaning behind them other than caving under pressure to some corporate bullies who force holidays down our throats ALL THE FUCKING TIME.
 
True, but many of us have learned how to be happy in the moment and not see hatred and ill will in every thing.

However, I hate Vallentines day and all that it stands for. If I love you, I do it every day of the year, not just on one particular day designed to sell shitty candy, cards and flowers. If I want to give you a Teddy Bear I can do it as easily on June 23rd as I can on February 14.
