The "I Hate Valentine's Day" Thread!

[Colossal Spoons]

^What woman wants to get the same gift every year? I say that but see so many ladies absolutely melt when the flowers, teddy bear, card, candy arrives

 

[amazingfantasy15]

i just know what to give my girl this year...I mean..i've done the candy, movie , dinner thing to death. Thats why i hate it

i even did that edible fruit crap....THAT WAS FN EXPENSIVE..LOL

Give her the naked man, just get naked and wait for her to walk in the door. Maybe put a bow on "it"

Each year's Valentine thread makes me recall the love struck Hypesters we've had over the years. blind_fury and his Swedish supermodels, kainedamo and Vicki, Ghostrider87 and every Hooters waitress in the midwest...

All we have are lovelorn posters who never seem to reach that relationship plateau.

For real

EH..did that once...it was nice until she realized her g/f was behind her.She didnt tell me she was bringing guests home that night

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for sentimentality. Just not FORCED sentimentality. It just seems to me that this "holiday" does nothing but make single people feel bad about being single, feeding them the constant imagery of "love is in the air", while at the same time impugning the insitution of relationships. It's like the most romantic thing you can do is blow a bunch of money on some useless crap that she's gonna throw away (or eat) in a week, at a time when you're EXPECTED to buy it. The flowers will die. The card will be thrown out. The teddy bear will be shoved somewhere and forgotten. The candy will be eaten and then you get to listen to her gripe about the weight she gained. And if you don't buy anything you're a *****e. I can't tell you how many women I've heard in the workplace say "He'd BETTER get me something!" Why? What are you gonna give him? What gesture of love does HE get, other than MAYBE some obligatory reciprocal sex? Why is he obligated to do something for you on this particular day? Has he committed some horrible transgression that he needs to make up for? When did it become a time for blackmail?
I'll also add that of late, this particular day hasn't gone well for me. I'll skip over most of the disasters and go straight to last year, which involved her son taking a swing at me, a huge fight, and me being dragged to a painfully depressing movie followed by an uncomfortable dinner. And people wonder why I'm not looking forward to Monday.

I think if your woman is a selfish ***** she shouldn't get anything. I get stuff during Valentine's Day. I think it should be an equal day. I don't need flowers at work but a blu-ray that I was eyeing would suffice.

 

[knowsbleed]

Honest question here... why would any man want anything other than sex? I can buy myself a blu-ray.

 

[Erzengel]

Well I'd like something to do after sex.

 

[knowsbleed]

More sex?

 

[Erzengel]

I think one year I got like Mass Effect. That was like the best gift ever.

Not intended as a jab, but that's a typical single man response. The cookie shouldn't be a gift, nor should it be withheld as a condition of gift-giving.

You probabl already suspected this, but in a happier, healthier relationship I wouldn't have started this thread. When I'm getting what I want & need from her, you'd better believe she's gonna have to find a place to put the flowers, CD's, cards (which I usually MAKE rather than buy) because it IS coming.

Haha, a sexless Valentine's Day wouldn't bother me at all. I literally expect/need nothing by the end of 2/14

 

[Darthphere]

People that want sex on Valentine's Day are usually the ones not getting sex at all.

 

[Erzengel]

I don't want sex on Valentine's Day.
I don't want sex on Valentine's Day.
I don't want sex on Valentine's Day.

Well if you're doing it right sex is a gift for both parties. I'm getting her gifts she likes, it's nice to get a gift I'd want too.

Just sex is not good enough for V-day. If I have to spend money and fabricate some grand yearly display then I better get that crazy completely unethical stuff that normally gets you this .


That thing with the monkey, umbrella, duct tape, and extension cord she won't go for the rest of the year?????


Its pay up time baby.
