The "I Hate Valentine's Day" Thread!

[bell110]

It's not capitalism, it's about social obligations to buy things for people. We have all these holidays where we're supposed to "show our love" for each other by exchanging crap, but if you are FORCED to do it by society, what does the gift truly mean? Is it a gift or just meeting some kind of obligation that society tells us to meet?

This is why I am meh to holidays and such. I'd rather get that big gift people are saving up for my B-day on like the last Tuesday of May randomly, just because. It means more that way.

No one "forces" you do to anything. You either do it or you don't. Even birthdays are forced in that sense. I used to not like Valentine's day for the same reason. But now I think about it as "Wow, CVS has a lot of selection of chocolate." And I like chocolate.

I want to know what love is.

Damn it, its stuck in my head now.

 

[Chris Wallace]

Put your significant other above your sense of "pride" and sticking it to the "man".

That is SO not the issue for me. That has nothing to do with anything I'm griping about.

Another year and another Valentine's Day.

 

[Pink Ranger]

Without Valentine's Day, men in loveless, thankless and emasculating marriages would lose one of the three days a year they get to have sex (the other ones being the man's birthday and Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival).

Bring me a higher love.

I agreed to take my gf to see "The Vow" starring Channing Tatum. I'd almost rather be single.

Dude, nothing about that first sentence sounds pleasant. I feel for you: at least when I sat through Julia and Julia, I learned how to make a better beef stew.

 

[A Necessary Evil]

I'm going to see star wars on valentine's day; I have better things to do than mope around that I don't have a girlfriend.

Some of us will be doing neither.

Dude I feel your pain. Even though I've told my gf 100 times I'm not going to see that crap, at the end of the day I know I'm going to end up in the theater. I would be ok if that guy actually had a little acting skill.

Reminds me of a friend who in 2008, was supposed to go with me and my crew to the midnight premiere of The Dark Knight....but didn't, because his gf dragged him to see Mamma Mia.

You keep putting random songs inside my head

Dear lord, i'm a woman and i feel bad for you. I wouldnt go see that movie if you payed me lol, i think that guy is a horrible actor and not someone i find appealing at all. I went out with a guy years ago who would always say how impressed he was when he gave me the choice to pick a movie and i chose The Rock lol.

 

[Thebumwhowalks]

I am gonna come up with a better home made comic-book themed valentine's day card for my current partner, than the one I made for my ex last year.
It's just a matter of inspiration when I'm feeling a bit better I suppose.

What the hell, why do men let themselves be so whipped? If my boyfriend doesn't want to do something with me (and there are things I'd also never expect him to want to do, so I don't even ask if he's interested), I'd never try to "force" him to do it.

There are worse things in life then having to sit through a RomCom with a girlfriend.

Yeah, I'll sit through a RomCom with my girlfriend. As long as she's willing to sit through the latest comic book movie with me. Same goes for TV shows, I'll sit through some of her shows, since she's willing to sit through mine. Although I do draw the line at Real Housewives.

 

[Kane52630]

I wonder...would The Room count as a RomCom?

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

My GF and I don't give a rats tail about Valentine's Day.

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

Don't you know? Chocolate is the symbol of love.

Damn right it does!

The only good thing about the loathsome holiday are the candy hearts. They are delicious.

 

[Thundercrack85]

Between's birthdays and anniversaries, this day really seems unnecessary. More-so than most unnecessary holidays.

Well she's not really forcing me. I knew it would make her happy and she'll return the favor. I think it's only being whipped if just one person gets their way all the time.
