Was it at least in the shape of a heart?

Don't spoil love day.. Sir hugsalot

I don't hate it. But neither do I consider it particularly romantic. I imagine the worst place to be on Valentine's night is an over crowded restaurant serving a 'special' menu (ie half the quality for twice the price) to self conscious couples who'd secretly rather be somewhere else.

Exactly. People seem to really enjoy doing the whole Hallmark & cliché thing, while ranting about it. I think the rant is just a cover for their true love of all things sugary. By 'people' I mean men with masochistic taste in women.

Its just another Hallmark day :rolleyes:

There would be a lot of miffed partners if they didn't receive a €3 card and a few roses on Valentine's day. It's nothing to do with being romantic, it's to do with valuing your life.

Real men resist the pressure to pacify their girlfriends/wives on this day. I salute you. Why be slave to one day a year?

PLUG71 · 14-02-2014 03:07PM

Guilt trip!

You'd think that if you were in a relationship with someone, they'd know you well enough to know your feelings about Valentine's Day. If they don't, then there's a communication problem in the relationship. Pretending there's no choice but to pander to something instead of actually dealing with it, is not going to get anyone anywhere they want to be.

Real men choose girlfriends/wives wisely in the first place. And vice versa.

<massive generalisation>
The only people who really complain about Valentine's Day are men in a relationship with a girl who loves Valentine's Day and ladies who happen to be single on the day and convince themselves that they hate it.

Maybe, just maybe if you washed your hair and wiped your arse you'd be able to attract someone. :pac:

The best valentines gift you could give someone is you ! So put a bow on your head and it's all good .

orangesoda · 14-02-2014 03:14PM

Aye it's a fool day alright, i was in tesco and a bloke asked another bloke where did he buy the flowers he was carrying

Sadderday · 14-02-2014 03:14PM

No, I don't

If it's pesky little tactics like emotional blackmail or nagging, I don't do that shít and nor do I tolerate it from anyone else. Forcing is way more serious than that.

who hates valentines day. i do.
