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. laugh I enjoy that notion immensely. It proves I've become an adult and she still struggles. flowerforyou

Dang I like myself today. drinker



Cool beans... Enjoy your day CB!


You too partner ... thanks

I'll save you some Kasha. :tongue:

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.



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


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.



I think you have the wrong thread. Try Relationship Advice...

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.


You should have left him earlier than 364 days. That is too long for people to be unhappy.

The OP was an attack on men. Men are 50% of the population, and are, by the way, just females with different genes activated.

I don't apologize or hide in sub-forums when someone attacks human values like that.

Be calm. Think. Forums are here for people to listen and to talk, not just talk.

No the OP was an attack on the holiday. I wrote it. The rest was an attempt at humor. Most get it. You don't. Not my problem. And I repeat, if you want to do the war of the sexes crap, go to relationship advice. I'm sure you can find a thousand different threads you'll enjoy.

I think you have the wrong idea about what this place is for... and considering you have 22,000 posts, I don't think these forums are a good place to be in the context of actually meeting and becoming happy with another person. I think I'll stick to the intent: the matching and profile system.

In any event, good luck with whatever you need to solve. Just don't use only 1 resource to try and figure it out. Good luck bud!

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.


Don't assume that all women love the day because men buy us stuff and acknowledge us. If I'm dating someone and it has to be Valentine's day for him to do something special, there's something wrong. Valentine's day means very little. Anything that can be done will mean much more on a day where there are no expectations.

Before the door hits your ass on the way out let me clue you in on something. Not all of us are here in the forums to find someone. Quite a few are here for friends. Hence the site name Mingle2

You're the one who may have the wrong idea about this place. Many people are here because of the friends they've made.

It is just another day, and if you are in a relationship, it should be just as rewarding for each person as any of the other days in the year.

Cherish each other daily and be glad that there is someone who sees you as you truly are... not sucked into the guilt of commercialism. Trinkets and money wasted do not make for a solid relationship. The feelings and heartfelt thoughtfulness and genuine interest in each other is something that cannot be taken to the bank. It does not gather dust in a corner or die in a vase.

Have a good day... :smile:
