My annual Anti-Valentine's Day thread...

Lets send each other dead kittens in the mail or something wrapped in pink bows and love hearts.

Fuck Valentines day.

Millions of tree's slaughtered just so you can send a card to someone who already knows you love them, unless you married them for their money. Or to tell the girl who wont look at you twice you'd like a chance to see if her nipples are the colour you imagine, with a secret message.

And all those couples with there stupid ass grins makes me sick, your in love cool, Im glad for you, really, but there isn't some law to say you have to suddenly become all romantic-comedy irritating about it one day of the year.

Many good couple friends of mine have turned into monsters in February. WHY????? because some twat decided it was the month where we would celebrate a day of love. If you love someone buy them gifts and tell them theyre special just cos you feel like it, not because tradition and commercialism forced your hand.

Valentine's is the day of the year I refuse to do any of that crap. Because if I feel the need to remind someone I care then I don't want all the fakeness surrounding it, and I don't want a relationship where Im thinking do they really mean it or doing it because they're supposed to?

Yes, Im bitter.

Why is there not a Hate Day?

Why does "love" get a special day, whereas "hate" does not? Isn't "hate" a human emotion? Isn't the definition of love, "non-hate"? To understand the true meaning of love, one must have a comprehension of its antithesis.

Therefore, I ask again, "Why is there not a Hate Day?"

Lets make one!
Pick a day, it can be a day of bitching about anything and everything.

Even when I was dating someone, I never celebrated V-Day. I don't see the point. Express your love everyday.

One V-Day, my (ex)boyfriend and I went to see Dead Man Walking. Everyone I told immeditaely got this expression on their face, like they just soiled themselves. That made me happy.

The wife and I are happily married and we don't do anything special on V day. We're both of the mind that it's like this sentimental touchstone...like a prompt to "All together now...Feeeeeeeel...now go buy some trinkety shit."

We opt for the less commercial St Sebastian Day. He was tied to a tree and riddled with arrows.

My wife and I celebrate Valentine's day by spending time with our kids and doing crafts, etc. We rarely, if ever, go out or actually spend money. That close after Christmas, you would have to be a masocist to want to open your pocket books again!

Along with non-Christian Easter (i.e. nothing but chocolate eggs and stuffed animals), Valentine's day is pretty fucking useless.

I hate Valentines Day! There is pink everywhere and if there is one thing I hate its pink! And there are all these cute little couples showing off how happy they are. Its just a fake holiday made by a card company so they could make more money! God I'm bitter and lonely. frown

The abbreviation of Valentine's Day is VD for a reason, kids.

More importantly, when is "I could give a shit" day.

That's every single day, silly.

Kid, are we getting bitter earlier and earlier every year? I need to find you some tail. And damnit! Never cull it! If you cull it, you'll go straight to Hell!

Mwahaha!

Well, some folks tried organizing ones but they all killed each other about ten minutes into the meeting. The closest we got is Flag Day. Lousy fucking flags...pieces of cloth get a fuckin day but I don't....they think they're all cool with their colors...ahem.

Anyway, Valentine's Day can kiss it. While happy couples pile into fancy restraunts as they try to keep their hormones somewhat restrained until they can release their sexual passion in a night of unbridled sex, I'll be seeing Daredevil.

God, I'm lonely.

I hate the fact that there is this near perfect young lady, elf cute looking and all that works with me and she has no reciprocation to me and she's leaving in June (possibly) to go back to California.

And I'm still fricking single.

And I'm seeing her everyday at work.

And I see all these couples and I just want to SMASH the guy and take the girl.

Because every valentines day has been the worst day of the year, for me, for you and for a good number of people.

Because it's just fucked like a bitch mother who refuses to let fate do some good work in this piece of shit backwards crapped world of relationships.

The problem with valentines day is that unless you are in a relationship, then there really is no point to the "holiday". Its an overall pretty stupid holiday.

Oh, I totally believe that its a useless holiday. But I'm not complaining about it.

I always thought it was something to be grown out of, like playing He-Man and kicking the girls. You know, a day for kids to learn about love, ostracizing, and writing letters. Preperation for that Big world called 'relationship'. Educational.

Wow, lots of bitterness in here. Before I was in a relationship I didn't really even consider the holiday. Now that I'm in one, I'm not going to buy a big friggin' Cupid doll or anyone, but I think a day dedicated to love is cool.

I tell my girl every day that I love her and I'll do the same thing on February 14th. It's not a holiday, but a day for me to recognize how different things are now then they were LAST February 14th.

So fuck all the haters. I'm in love each and every day, and who the fuck cares if people sell cards for a specific day. Big fucking deal.

Im not a hater at all.

The only thing I'm gonna buy my girlfriend on valentines day is a movie ticket to DareDevil.

How romantic!

Flowers, a card, and some time with me is what she'll get. Cheesy eh?

If you really cared for her, you'd give her flowers, a card, and some time with me.

You've got enough to worry about, Barnes and Noble and all.

Dylan, I'll handle this for you.

Sorry, Dylan, but I am busy.

You guys are just desperate for her arent you. Ive got 3 guys who just said they wanted some. I wonder how many do but havent yet said so.

I found this to be incredibly sweet. I just wanted to let you know.

Thank you

I meant it to be sweet, but the vulgarity mide hinder that a bit...*blush*

Hear, hear!

Useless "holiday". Maybe if we got a day off from work out of it, otherwise I'm with Kid Ego on this.

I was thinking back on this and I realized that the one Valentine's Day I was with someone sucked worse then all the collective ones without someone to squeeze.

Course I have also come to realize that some people just aren't destined for love. I can live with that now but I don't think anyone else can...

Valentine's Day just reminds me of how single and lonely I am, and rubs it in! I might feel better about it if I could legally beat up a few losers who are dating girls they don't deserve.

Do all of you Valentine haters despise stuff like Christmas and Easter? Just curious...

Reading some of these sad, bitter posts almost made me cry. I don't believe that anyone is "not destined for love". I have never had a really good Valentine's day, but for God's sakes, don't give up on finding love.

Almost made you cry? I'll have to try harder next time.

I HATE.

Fuck Valentine's Day.

A specific day to give each other cards and candy and flowers and stuff is a horrible idea. It's better to do that sort of thing at random, or on a meaningful day. Valentine's Day is a slap in the face to anybody who is single or separated from their loved one.

Plus, guys are stupid.

I HATE my friends. We were supposed to go out and have fun, and those bitches all bailed out on me for one reason and another. Hence I'm ending my day exactly how I didn't want to: alone at home in front of the comp. Someone please put a bullet through my skull.

Oh, I agree with you about Valentine's Day, and all the crap in the stores, I see it too. I don't llke it at all. It was just a couple of posts that seemed like the person was really feeling down.
