Alright. I really didn't want to do this, but in the tradition of I Fucking Hate Christmas. It's time to give that tawdry, worthless date we call Valentines day a good verbal assfucking.
The following is one of the many brain-dead radio commercials I heard on my otherwise pleasant drive today. “Ok, guys we all know what’s coming up…Valentines Day! Don’t disappoint her like you did last year. Make her eyes light up with the package gift of jewelry and roses from blah blah blah. …Because you know that if she’s happy, then everyone stays happy!" How. Fucking. Insulting. But that stupid commercial perfectly illustrates everything wrong with Valentines day. It’s a holiday that’s constructed to make a few people rich and everyone else feel pressured, unsatisfied and inadequate. “What are you doing for Valentines day” chant the mindless robots everywhere in their high-pitched, grating voices. Well I’ll tell you what I’m NOT doing. I’m not buying a little heart packed with toothpaste filled chocolates. And I’m not buying a mass-processed, white teddy bear holding a heart. And I’m not spending $89.95 on a dozen moth-eaten roses that will die promptly. Don’t even get me started on greeting cards. How about $11.95 for some shitty piece of paper that has some vomit-inducing saying like: "Soft and beautiful as rose petals, your love fills my life with joy." Who comes up with this shit? Mr. Rogers on Ecstasy? How about something awesome like: Roses are red. Violets are blue. I want to fuck you with a rake. …Maybe then I would buy your stupid fucking cards, Hallmark. You know what I like to do on Saturday? I like to go to my favorite restaurant and enjoy a fine glass of Cabernet whilst I munch on a perfectly seared ribeye and calculate how close I am to buying a yacht. Will I be able to do that this Saturday? FUCK NO. Why? Because Charlie the Construction worker and everyone he knows is firmly expected to spend a third of their paycheck to take the missus out on a “real date” on this oh so special day. Yay. Go Charlie. Maybe tonight will be your once-a-month, missionary position lay. Remember how I said that Christmas makes poor people feel worse? Well that pales in comparison to Valentines day. All across the country, sad, single fatties in XXL gray jogging pants will be slumped on their couches eating tablespoonfuls of chalky, acai berry powder as it clumps from the tears streaming down their pudgy faces. Yes, fatty. No one will ever love you again. You can thank Valentines day for reminding you. Don’t even think that I’m dissing the ladies. Every chick I know hates Valentines day. YOU CAN’T FORCE ROMANCE. Period. A random gift or trip on a Wednesday after work is worth more than a million fucking Valentine’s presents. But just in case you guys still want to send a card, I have conveniently provided you one below. ![]() Happy Fucking Valentines Day!

Alright, alright - Leave Chris alone.
Valentine's Day does suck. The chocolate is always stale and the flowers are more expensive this time of year than anything else. Plus they've been sitting around for days, so they die in a matter of hours. We're such romantics at my house, I told my DH (dear hubby for those not up with the Mommy lingo) that I wanted a new domain for V-day and the gift of labor. He'll go ahead and get it set up with Wordpress for me. Most romantic. If your girl is drooling over V-day, it's likely because she doesn't have enough attention the rest of the time. Or she's 13 - a very real possibility from some of the threads, I've seen around here. If you really want to wow your chick, get some nice paper and write her a love letter Include real emotions and such and you'll be golden. I'd leave out any mention of fish or rakes, however. It is the time and depth of thought that makes a gift special. This is why the best gifts are almost always free.

Are you serious???
I love valentines day when I was single... it was the easiest time to meet girls possible. I would roll in with a bag of those nasty candies with stupid shit on them and make every girl feel like she was "special" and a few would return the favor. Now that I have a steady GF valentines is still awesome as long as you ignore the BS chocolate and restaurant and do something fun (in the bedroom) or a road trip.

My girl called me this afternoon and wanted to know if it would be okay to skip the whole dinner and a movie thing on Saturday and instead go to a hockey game since somebody at work spiffed her some tickets on the glass. I told her I was disappointed that we weren't going to go see "He's just that into you" but I'd tough it out for her.

Hell yeah! Get me flowers every OTHER fucking day of the year because I fucking rock and you should be so lucky to have me. But don't you dare do it on Valentine's day because Hallmark told you to- you fuckin sheep!!!
Something like that? (Oh and I love Valentines days cause my AM sales kick a$$)

Chris: You really need to have a book of these rants... Or go on a stand up tour. If you come visiting, do you want me to drag you to an open mic night?
Anyways, you should do what I do and give the gift of syphilis. Chicks appreciate it because they're asymptomatic, and it's pink and huggable. Amanda: Ouch! Papercuts to the penis!

ChrisS its cool i hate Valentines Day too. Just like i hate Christmas just as much as you. I have a neat little story to tell you that just happened about an hour ago. My gf took me to dinner, her treat. Yeah i was surprised too. When dinner was done she told me that she lost a ring i got her a few Valentines ago.
Not to make a big deal about it, but she never wore the ring, ever. and the one time she does she loses it. WTF. this damn thing cost me a few g's. And the way she was saying everything, was almost as if she wanted another one. Because she just happend to mention that she saw a very similer one just the other day. Fuck this holiday, i get nothing in return on it. maybe some sex, but thats it. I think im going to get her a bunch of Cracker Jack Boxes and tell her to start digging. she might get lucky. |

If I didn't know that ChrisS is a guy, I'd guess he's PMS'ing.
The true meaning of St. Valentine's Day.

I fucking hate valentine's day too. Chris, I was about to rant as well, but you pretty much covered me on the original post.

Incongruous Juxtaposition

Guys just do what Will Smith Does. He and his wife celebrate the "Day After Valentine's Day" every year because he said he didn't want to show his love like every average joe.
The benefit to you is that a) you will look like some fabulously romantic, innovative, romantic guy b) things are hella cheap and on sale. You can celebrate the "week after" valentine's day if you like to catch even more deals....lol If you have trouble getting laid, trust me pull that out of a hat and you will at least get to second base like whoa!!!!! haha |

Will Smith still shows his love like every other average Joe but only on a different day!
I'm with the haters! Fuck valentines day! If you really care about your girlfriend/wife or whatever take them out to dinner on your anniversary instead of the one day in the year it's almost impossible to forget! |

As a marketer I'm not really seeing how your main complaint about valentines day is that it is built around pressuring people into buying...
Anyways - my girl loves valentines day so I do the traditional shit for her because it makes her happy, which is pretty much what you do for girls you're in to.
