Valentine's Day. It is a holiday created by retailers to increase sales during the slowest part of their year. It is perfectly designed for men who do not know how to demonstrate thoughtfulness, caring, romance, and affection during the other 364 days a year.

Of course most ladies love it. I'm thinking primarily for two reasons. Reason one: We buy them crap. Reason two: Their lunkhead boyfriends/husbands actually acknowledge their existence for a change instead of farting and asking them to bring a beer if they're near the kitchen.

yeah

I truely believe that Valentine's should be out lawed!!! It's just a holiday made up to get men in trouble and make women feel like they are not loved... One day out of the year where if everything is not "just right" there will be a fight... Men and women should shower love on their significate other year round.

I am a guy, and I find your post sexist.

That attitude makes your wife feel like she shouldn't have married you, if you constantly walk around saying how unworthy you are to be with her.

If that woman didn't leave a guy that didn't show caring/romance for 364 days, she has some kind of serious issue.

it was created by nazies i tell you

You're a guy?? Tough sh!t!!!

yer cool

Historically it was something else altogether but just like Santa and all that crap, it changed into a very detrimental and commercial, guilt ridden holiday over the centuries. In fact its the exact same phenomena. Saint Valentine and Saint Nicolas. I never do the romance thing and just send cards and small gifts to friends and family. Ive been doing that the past several years and even when I had a boyfriend, there was no pressure. We just did the low key thing or we might go out to dinner. No big deal.

I have always hated Valentine's Day. If my man can't show me he loves/cares about me the other 364 days a year, then I REALLY don't want to hear it on February 14th.

Thank you.

Exactly like Christmas which morphed originally from the winter solstice.

Exactly! You are the first person not to argue with me about that. I take a lot of slack for even mentioning that.

Like the new photo...

Thank you sweetie!!

I intentionally set this day aside to be with my kids. They are the only ones I can say, emphatically, that I will love unconditionally forever anyway.

The ex is going on a date and seems to have an attitude that she has won some sort of competition. I enjoy that notion immensely. It proves I've become an adult and she still struggles.

Dang I like myself today.

Cool beans... Enjoy your day CB!

I AGREE

You too partner ... thanks

I'll save you some Kasha.

Happy Valentines Day Mitch!


heh,heh

You make the mistake of assuming each post is about the person who posted it.

I was trying to communicate to the OP that good, healthly, normal relationships between a male and female are not based upon shame or necessity. If they are, those people are going to be internally messed up for as long as they are together. Our parents were idiots, basically. Their method of staying together no matter how miserable they became ended up hurting their kids, aka you and me.
