I say yep a crook of shit.

My wife still gets anoyed when I don't get her anything, regardless of the fact that I tell her I love her all day everyday, have never stopped buying her flowers etc, kiss and snuggle all the time.

Soooooo what is it with these crazy people demmanding that your love be shown by buying them a bit of dead tree, with words inside it.

Hehe Or am I hoplesly unromantic?

... or "crock", even.

I agree, but i'm not sour. I genuinely hope everyone enjoys their VD. :)

Crock of shit. I gave a girl a card, a chocolate, and a flower last year. Nothing happened.

Yep, crock o' shite. I'm not going to spend money on my girlfriend unless I actually want to, not just because there's suddenly people and signs everywhere telling me to.

QFT.

EDIT: TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep, crock o' shite. I'm not going to spend money on my girlfriend unless I actually want to, not just because there's suddenly people and signs everywhere telling me to.

It's the biggest crock of shit ever. It's a bloated and commercialized version of what it's supposed to mean. Now, your partner practically demands some stupid cheap gift and a card from a Hallmark store. And if you don't, they end up hating you.

And we did nothing today! I'm glad my boyfriend isn't into that sappy shit.

Vday for me is my anniversary with my gf, so its quite a different reason to celebrate. and i never did anything for the day before (and was never got anything for it before) last year, so i guess i'm not qualified to answer seeing as the day is about something much more important (anniversary) than just giving each other flowers.

however it is a good excuse to get extra lovey-dovey :P

Yeah, but if you want to go out together on your anniversary, you'll probably find every restaurant in the land is fully booked up.

You're pretty hopeless. It wouldn't kill you to please the woman and buy her a crappy card. Christmas only happens once a year, do you blow that off, too, because you love Jesus all year long? Methinks not. Besides, February is such a dreary, cold month (pace to our friends Down Under), a nice romantic holiday in the middle of it all is nice.

If you were romantic you'd do thing on other days, as well as Valentine's.... so yes

:) and my guess is that these holidays succeed because people want any excuse to have shit bought for them, and why wouldn't they?

Congratulations for exposing a rather obvious joke.

Heh I'm always pleasing her, why shouldn't she instead leave it alone to please me?

As for Crimbo, well I am always threating the kids with no christmas this year, and when I get the looks, I ask hands up who in this family is Christain. I get no hands up, bah humbug!

The point is not that you do nice things for her all the time, the point is, she gets annoyed when you ignore Valentine's Day. So suck it up and buy her a card, or ask the kids to help you make one. Sheesh.

Valentines is an excuse to be weird and avoid work like every holiday

Is it actually a holiday in the States?

Valentines is an excuse to be weird and avoid work like every holiday, plus make an uber mix tape which is what the day is about :D

Valentines Day is bullshit. It's just a massive corporate holiday aimed at making very rich people even richer off people who feel the need to impress their partners one day a year, when they should be doing it every day of the year.

Oh no no, Bovington's in Dorset. We're near London. Funny story though - there's a Tank Museum in Bovington, and my mum once got asked for directions to said Museum on our high street...and we're a 4 hour drive away. Poor buggers were quite pissed off.

I agree with Arinola.

But Valentine's day isn't a holiday. You don't get time off work. It's just blatant profiteering, and I DO NOT APPROVE.

I hate Valentines Day, I think it's a worthless holiday and really, it's just an excuse to buy cheap cards, cheap gift, that won't even last to March! With that being said, I did buy Kay a choker (Hot Topic Dog Collar), a WebCam, and a Valentines Day Card. I am a tool yes, but I'm getting laid, so, I don't really care at this point.

Remember kids: Prostitution for cash is wrong. But prostitution for gifts and a card on a holiday endorsed by purveyors of pink tat is A-OK!

I don't mean to pick on you particularly, Wilgrove, but I love society's double standard, I really do.

LOL, that's ok, I like to expose it too. It is amazing how seriously some of the women take this holiday though. I mean jeez they go stark raving mad if their husband/boyfriend/girlfriend/stalker forget this meaningless holiday. Of course Kay doesn't care either way, but I figured, eh why the hell not, she gets gift, I get sex, every thing's great.

Total crock of commercialized shit, just like Xmas and every other holiday that the pop-culture mechandizers got or get a hold of. I don't need to be told when or what to get my wife as a gift. Sadly, however, my wife thinks that if I don't get her a gift, hate her. Please note, that Vday is timed perfectly to coinicide with you finally getting caught up with your xmas bills.

The point is not that you do nice things for her all the time, the point is, she gets annoyed when you ignore Valentine's Day. So suck it up and buy her a card, or ask the kids to help you make one. Sheesh.

Heheh and if I get anoyed when she makes a big deal over it? Shouldn't she suck it up, and leave it alone? Sheesh!

complete crock of shit.

however you are missing a golden opportunity to pressure you wife into doing that kinky thing that she has been refusing all this time. if you have to bring home candy and flowers, she can give "that" a try.

Ahhh at last to the crux of it.

Why exactly am I supposed to buy her something today?

Valentines Day: the only holiday that seems designed to make lonely people feel like shit.

Valentines day might be salvageable if there was some kind of tradition of single people going around kissing random strangers that they fancy, But as it is, if your single, your just left out.

Valentines Day is a great way for certain people to make money. That's about it.

However, I happen to be dating somebody who likes Valentines Day, so I allow those people to make money off of me because making my partner happy is just that important to me. I'm willing to be suckered, for the right person. :D

Valentine's Day is what it is... a sales industry promoted day to go out and buy stuff. Expensive stuff. Comparable only to Christmas and Birthdays for romance-related gift giving.

Did I spend money? Yep. But even for all that it can be useful as an excuse to spoil your significant other (not that one is required, but you can never have too many) and for those who don't normally get mushy and lovey it's a free pass to get away with it once a year.

Give her a big talking to. If she doesn't get it still, divorce the bitch.

I hate Valentine's day... I let the people that I love know I love them by being there for them. It makes me sick to see other girls freak out about how their BF's didn't get them anything. Makes me hate being female sometimes... I was content to go to school, go back to my dorm room, and talk to my girl for a while. It is a regular day for me. Her devotion to me is clear, and I don't need a card for proof.

My best Valentine's day was in High School... My senior year we viewed and got to disect a human body. There were 7 of us just hanging out, learning, and cracking jokes. That my friends is what Valentine's Day should be about. Friends and family gathering and doing something that isn't out of the ordinary. Just being friends and family. ^^ or at least that is what I think.

I find this all to be very amusing.

"You suck, you didn't get me anything for Valentine's Day!"
"Nuh-uh, you suck for caring!"
"I'm telling on you! I'm going to make a thread in NS!"
"Oh yeah? Well I'm going to make another one, so there!"
:p

In all seriousness, though, I don't really care one way or the other. For the record, I know quite a few men who care about Valentine's Day a lot more than I do, so it's not just girls who get bent out of shape over it. Me, I just think it's a good excuse to take my boyfriend out to dinner at Morton's. :D

I'll let you know if I agree with you after I see how my girlfriend reacts to the flowers and necklace I got her.:D

Huzzah! That girl I kidnapped...I mean asked out, woke up and is just ecstatic about being with me. So ecstatic we had to move to my quiet and private basement so that she wouldn't disturb the neighbors. We're having a nice dinner I prepared for her while she was out...out as in not in my van unconcious. I got her a very fashionable ankle bracelet with a gold chain which is bolted to the floor.:D

I hate this day. Big time. Emotions should not be dictated by the whims of corporations who can't even be tasteful.

I also object to being better looking than most, and single....:D

I have the same problems.

Annoying no?

If nothing else, Valentine's Day has brought you two together.;)

Feh. Your title got modded.

I'm fine with V-day. I am just a little more loving and kind to my friends and family than most days. That's hardly a bad thing.

I do feel a distinct sense of disgust walking through Wal-Mart the weeks before it, though. :(

Gator dung?!?

The mods are getting creative....

We do that sometimes...

Gator dung?!?

I'm not alone anymore;)

I asked my new girl if she'd be my Valentine. She was so happy she was screaming in joy...or horror, I can't tell which one. Sometimes I get really confused:confused:

It's a good thing my basement is sound proof or the cops would be all over my place in a heartbeat. Also, now my little angel can't fly away either:D

Remember kids: Prostitution for cash is wrong. But prostitution for gifts and a card on a holiday endorsed by purveyors of pink tat is A-OK!

And let's not forget the importance of prostituting yourself for a nice piece of jewelry!

See, if you have consensual sexual relations without first requiring him to buy you a ring, you are a great big whore. I know, it sounds crazy, but if you want to NOT be a whore then you have to make sure you sell yourself for the right price. If you have sex WITHOUT demanding material compensation, or if the material compensation is not sufficiently expensive, then you are a slut and nobody will ever really love you.

Don't nobody get confused, now.

"Diamonds: She'll Pretty Much Have To"

Reminded me of a Blonde Joke (apologies to any and all real Blondes here): A brunette says to her blonde friend, "Harry just sent me a huge bouquet of flowers." The blonde says, "That's great, isn't it?" "Yes, but now I'll have to spend the weekend on my back with my legs up in the air." After a moment the blonde says, "But, don't you have a vase?"

Anyway ... *wanders off*

One of my friends has fake advertising poster in her room:

"Diamonds: when those ruby earrings still won't get you anal."

If there existed a word for "the most important post in the thread", I would use that word to describe the post I'm quoting.

How about Mipitt - based on the acronym MIPITT? The only problem with it is that it sucks...

The old name for STDs used to be VD. Damn, they could have made a shitload of good Valentine's Day jokes.

And you're passing on a holiday, contrived as it may be, that encourages getting romantic? Don't just sit there! Go buy a card and bestow it on a likely lady. You never know what may befall.

What she doesn't know won't hurt my date in the basement. By the way...I should send her a Valentine's Day telegram.

Open your heart and find a lover. And have sex.

Ahhh at last to the crux of it.

Why exactly am I supposed to buy her something today?

Because she expects a gift today. Come on. Didn't your parents ever tell you to buy gifts for your girl on Valentines Day?

I woke my wife up early with some early morning Valentine's Day loving.

Roses I ordered two weeks ago for delivery today still havent arrived because there is 8 inches of ice and howling wind outside.

It would be really cool if they came in the next hour or so.

What kind of wimpy florists do you have where you live? :D

I dont know where the flowers come from,exactly-I ordered them online and paid extra to guarantee delivery today.

Its not my problem its on 10 degrees out and there is ice blowing sideways.

I have a big fire going in the fireplace,I'm going to cook a nice dinner and after the kids are in bed, we'll get a good video.

Its a great night to be snowed in.

The point is not that you do nice things for her all the time, the point is, she gets annoyed when you ignore Valentine's Day. So suck it up and buy her a card, or ask the kids to help you make one. Sheesh.
Why shouldn't he ignore Valentine's Day if he feels like it? If it's so important why shouldn't his wife buy him a gift?

you are a hopeless unromantic. You are supposed to buy your wife something on this day of the year. She has a right to be annoyed with you and I'm glad she is annoyed with you.

Why should he? Why does she have a right to a gift on some arbitrary day in February?

Of course Kay doesn't care either way, but I figured, eh why the hell not, she gets gift, I get sex, every thing's great.
If you need to give her a gift to have sex then everything is not great.

Open your heart and find a lover. And have sex.
Are you advocating adultery?

Because she expects a gift today.
Why should she?

Christmas only happens once a year, do you blow that off, too, because you love Jesus all year long? Methinks not. Besides, February is such a dreary, cold month (pace to our friends Down Under), a nice romantic holiday in the middle of it all is nice.

Well VD is usually a nice fine day hereabouts (as you alluded), but I don't think Christmas is a good comparison... at least in that particular tradition gifts are exchanged... VD is usually about males being expected to buy goodies for their partner (the reverse is also done, but is rarely expected). Somewhat less egalitarian?

"Diamonds: She'll Pretty Much Have To"

CZ: What she doesn't know won't hurt you.:D

If you need to give her a gift to have sex then everything is not great.


Nah, Sex is just a side effect. The purpose of me buying her gift was that because I care about her, and like her alot.

I agree, but i'm not sour. I genuinely hope everyone enjoys their VD. :)
The Clap?

Peepelonia, next year give her a set of "Irish twins, the perfect gift for the complaioning wife."

What she doesn't know won't hurt my date in the basement. By the way...I should send her a Valentine's Day telegram.

Ouch, my heart. :( *Cries* WHY?

I've never understood the point of this holiday. Why exactly do people expect gifts from a s/o today as opposed to, say, April the 2nd or October the 30th? If there were no media exhorting them to buy gifts, would we even bother to celebrate this holiday? As already stated, isn't it sort of like endorelationship-prostitution?

(As a side note, no, I'm not a lonely, embittered virgin. Stfu.)

Well, why have a Mother's Day? Why have a Veteran's Day?

At least in theory, the idea is that you set aside special days to make a particular point out of honoring something/someone. In principle, I see nothing wrong with this. It's a nice idea to have a day dedicated to celebrating relationships between lovers, just like it's a nice idea to have a day dedicated to celebrating the relationships between parents and children.

Ideally, we would all "celebrate" such relationships year round. But it doesn't hurt to have a particular day that is especially set aside for such purposes.

The problem I have with Valentine's Day is that it tends to achieve the opposite of what I believe it should. Instead of celebrating romantic relationships, it trivializes them and cheapens them. Instead of being a way to focus on the important elements of one's relationship, it becomes a cut-and-paste holiday where everybody is expected to give the same stupid gifts for the same stupid reasons. The important part of a lovers' relationship, to me, is the intimate and unique bond between the individuals in question; Valentine's Day, as my country observes it, does precisely zero to celebrate this.
