Poll: Valentines Day troubles

[Asturiel]

love isnt needed for sex. just lust. look at morrigan from DAO for an example.

Not needed but is likely the reason for wanting a child. People dont often go up to each other saying "I want a baby, your gonna be the daddy! Lets go." Either a mistake or the result of a mating couple who are in "love" or at the very least a relationship.

mwah, It's a nice excuse for giving things without feeling pussywhipped, but it's also a great excuse for not giving anything.

I hate Valentine's Day, it just reminds me that I am 18 and 1/2 years old and I haven't even gotten my first kiss, let alone had a relationship with a girl.

My social life is non-existent

Don't worry, my life is the same, except i turned 18 last month. you are not alone.

How much more room is on that boat? I'm on it too and I'm sure were taking on more.

if the boat runs out of room, we could always build rapture...

I foresee no problems in doing such. Nothing could go wrong.

This is why V-Day sucks.

because love is a combo of lust and attachment (cookie for reference), at least presidents are real and have tangible effects. people are pissed because people turn into snooty assholes and act like assholes to other people who are not their mate.

So, what you're saying is.... you don't think Jesus is real?

did i say jesus anywhere in that post? no? then i didnt cover it.

There post you quoted said something about Presidents AND about Jesus' resurrection. It seems interesting that you only called out the presidents on being 'real'. That's why.

"Bros before hoes"? Is that seriously an option? I would hope the majority of this community is well-rounded enough to be able to balance friendship and a romantic relationship, and not resort to calling females derrogatory names.

After 20 years of Valentines Days, I've just said bugger it all. I plan to spend the day marathoning films and enjoying chocolote. I know it's feminine, but bugger it, it's chocolate!

A toast to being single, most people have to endure days packed with hardly a chance to sit down and large rushes when trying to find a place to eat. Us single people can do whatever the hell they want. Huzzah!

I just hate when people brag about being in a realationship, but are well.

I like to think of it that there are people of both genders who don't really care much about Valentines day. We are not alone so to speak.

 

[presidentjlh]

Lol, it was looking like I was actually going to party this V's day, but, surprise surprise, my college never has any parties...ever.

Even my friends in frats say it's been as boring as hell.

 

[twaddle]

no problem. i want all sides in the discussion. i'll add your option

 

[TehCookie]

Where's the "it doesn't matter because i'm single. chicks b4 dicks" option?

 

[Twilight_guy]

I'm gonna say most guys buy into it for the same reason they do a lot of things: getting laid.
It's a tradition that is clearly just a consumerist nightmare with very little actually meaning (although there is some pathetic attempts to make it about romantic love). I'd just as soon have to blotted from existence but of course its a near sure fire way for a guy to get laid if he does it right so it will stick around.

 

[Guitarmasterx7]

You buy into the commercialism because if you don't your girlfriend will get pissed at you. I hardly see being single as being "the odd ones out" because to be honest Valentines day is the worst day to have a girlfriend. It's more "bend over backwards to be a romantic fuckwad" than her birthday and christmas combined.

 

[Samcanuck]

Meh, longer you are in a relationship the more you get comfortable. And that leads to not being as romantic. Atleast thats what I have noticed (Been with her for I think 8 years now, and engaged). Valentines day gives you a reason to take notice of your lady which in itself is fun and needed.

Mind you, I have heard the celebration is the anniversary of Saint Valentines death...do to hanging. Feel the love.

 

[Jekken6]

Men suffer Valentines day?!? Last year I was given flowers by my sweetie and I nearly I flipped my top. He spent $120 on a freaking bouquet! That's 2 video games!!!

Obviously I thanked him and said how nice it was. But when he brought it up this year, I told him no more flowers. Just pick up Bioshock 2 and pre-order Heavy Rain. Then we'll both get what we want.

I wish I knew girls like you.

 

[Emilie Diabolica]

its bloody stupid. maybe i'm biased because i broke up with my boyfriend today..

FUCK YOU VALENTINES DAY!!!!!!!!
D:<

 

[damselgaming]

It's great, I love it, and I had a fantastic V-Day weekend. Taken to my favourite restaurant, got the Buffy DVD full box set, some lovin', and went bowling with all my friends.

I wouldn't have cared if we had just stayed in and played games though, it's just about having a nice day together, so cheer up guys, no need to be spoil-sports.

Also, where are the female options on this poll? I had to vote for bunnies.

 

[TheIr0nMike]

Because those are the reasons Valentines Day was made for:

1) Make single people feel guilty for not being with someone else (classic "traditional family" propaganda).

2) According to big businesses, "Love is measured in how much chocolate, flowers, and shiny rocks you give your lover".

3) People in a failing relationship need to lie to themselves and have an excuse to not love your husband/wife/girlfriend/boyfriend for the rest of the year.
