beliveau1 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Have you got the significant other looked after for this celebration of love.... or do you think it is just a big over rated ripoff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beliveau1 Posted February 14, 2007 Author Share Posted February 14, 2007 I think it's a ripoff and fortunately I have a wife who agrees - at the cost of flowers and dinner on this day I''d need a second mortgage.... B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huzer Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Stupid day, to be quite honest. If you have a significant other, EVERY day is a day to celebrate. Not a made up Hallmark day where florists, restaurants, and jewelers all jack their prices up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Hallmark Day. I told my wife long, long ago (before we were married) that I didn't pander to this crap. I express my love for her everyday, and I don't need a day set aside by a few companies for me to express it. I told her that the day she feels I need Hallmark Day to express myself is the day she should realize our relationship is going to pot (not THAT kind, Maca). The only reason I see for a day like this is for those who have to look around them at the people they know who might be lonely and then offer something small so those people can realize that they aren't alone.

Mont Royale Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 A snippet of conversation this morning: Me: Happy Valentine's Day! Wife: Happy Valentine's Day! I didn't get you a card. Me: Good - I didn't get you one either. Very romantic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycing Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 lol @ Colin... Yeah, my girlfriend's sick, so we're making Valentines Day tomorrow. Dinner and a movie, basically what we always do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsniper Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 As if I didn't already find this day stupid, they've been playing nothing but sappy love songs for the past week at work. Really f***** annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beliveau1 Posted February 14, 2007 Author Share Posted February 14, 2007 Funny how much the guys seem to hate the commercialism of it - any of the ladies have an opinion that differs? Personally I think it is a crass rip off - and I'm glad my wife feels the same. I was in the mall earlier and was watching the poor schmucks going through the card section (90% men) and was watching them squirm. One guy was so rattled looking at the cards, I thought the poor dude was going to have a stroke.... probably some love struck spouse/partner at home who was waiting on pins & needles for the card & gift! And he looked like he never does get it right.... the way he was fidgeting it looked like his balls were already in a sling!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cataclaw Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 The holiday is fine, but... A guy who truly loves his girl won't wait for a special occasion such as this one to do something to demonstrate his affection/appreciation. In my view, Valentine's day is just like any other. I won't love my girl "more" just because it's the 14th of february. I can try to "show" it, but even then, i'd rather "show" it to her every day of every month rather than "save up" for one special occasion. You make the occasion special.

Psycing Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I celebrated today. What I do you ask? I went to school and almost lost my face to the artic winds here in Montreal. I then did the same thing on my way home but stopped off at the Video store and rented the movie "Idiocracy" staring Luke Wilson to watch w/ my gf. Not bad movie, but not great. The rest is history.
