Well... Valentines Day just sucks. It's one of those days where we feel obligated to spend money on our loved one just because of some stupid tradition invented by people who were a lot closer to monkeys than we are.

Why should there be a special day that forces us into action?

Why should it be so soon to Christmas?

ugh... I hate it. Every year it's the same old horseshit.

You went to Spinnys and realized that you have to order roses 48 hours in advance didn't you?

Agreed Valentines Day like all commercial holidays are Hallmarks way of lining their wallets and causing humanity to lose hair.

You should show your loved what you feel, when you want to do it.

When yor are in the mood to give flowers,.....then do it.

I hate people who give you hardly attention, but at Special days created by Hallmark and Co, run and buy presents.

couldn't agree more think valintines day should be vetoed !!!

valentines day....is almost like everyday in my life.....(for one person only)

Cheap - Crass - Commercial - Crap

However, somebody just sent me this and it made me smile.

Every day I have this opportunity... I just don't appreciate being forced into it by societal pressure.

The girls also have to buy presents too, or is this somehow forgotten?

It's a guy's duty to buy presents?

Sounds like you're just after a guy who will buy you 'things' to keep you happy.

How shallow.

That's what materialism is, not just diamonds, cars and villas.

You shouldn't need 'things' to feel that someone cares about you. They should show you by um.... actually caring?

WTF is up with women these days, they feel so insecure like this?

well I think most of them do..

I wish I lived in Middle Ages..when man fighted and died for women's love and didn't thinkl that they had to spennd money to buy a present for her...once or twice in a year

bonitta wrote:I wish I lived in Middle Ages..when man fighted and died for women's love and didn't thinkl that they had to spennd money to buy a present for her...once or twice in a year

And where if you spoke out of turn we could just beat you with a stick and throw you down a well and get another one.

I'm with you.

oh man....you get one female every so often that just makes the rest of us look bad!

I didn't think chicks really thought like this - just thought it was a bad stereotype!

Sheesh!

I think the best gifts/flowers etc to get are the ones that are unexpected!

yeah...but the women also got to sit in the house all day, didnt get to have opinions - well ones that made a difference anyway and were made to marry realllly young to optimise their child bearing years.

ok iguess we are having a fight for no reason here leave the girl alone its just a bit of misunderstanding here.
