Is everyone all happy that you get to cuddle up with your little boyfriends or girlfriends and get to exchange stupid little gifts, on Valentine's Day??

This is by far the worst day on Planet Earth.  I can midly atture Christmas, Easter, Groundhog Day, and I can even handle Secretaries Day.  However, Valentine's Day is a shit day that I have to live through every year of my life.  Days like this, I wish I were dead, or had access to a 1984 DeLorean with a flux capacitor and 1.21 Jigawatts of nuclear reaction, so I can skip ahead to Feb. 15.

This stupid day was invented by wanna-be innovative businessmen, to help slumping sales after Christmas and New Year's have long been gone.  And now we're stuck with pink little hearts and stupid arrows going through them, all over the place.

All you gullable men in relationships - it's your fault.  I personally blame each and every one of you.  You fall for this shit, year in and year out, thinking you're going to be in good with the Ms., and furthermore, thinking that a dozen roses and 2 boxes of heart-shaped chocolates can erase any screw ups you may have had between now and Xmas (like not proposing to your girlfriend, not buying her the new car she wanted, etc..)

And you women piss me off, too.  It's not your birthday, it's not Xmas, and it sure as hell ain't your anniversary - so what the hell? How much money do you need to have spent on you before you're satisfied??  Are you women really that materialistic that you cannot be satisfied??  I mean shit.  Someone gave me a few Enteman's soft baked cookies the other day at work - that was AWESOME!!  That's all it takes!  Why do you want diamonds, dinner, dancing, and marriage proposals??

How many guys here even like Valentine's Day?  None.  Every guy here knows it's a pain in the ass chore to feed your female ego.  When do guys get St. Oral's day?  St. Missionary's Day??  St. LEAVE US THE HELL ALONE day??

I HATE VALENTINE'S DAY!!!

and this dear friends is why Jtex is single, well atleast the most outstanding reason.

St. Oral's Day? On Feb. 14, that comes (pun intended) twice.
St. Missionary's day? On Feb 14, that comes (once again, pun intended) at LEAST twice.
St. LEAVE US THE HELL ALONE DAY? Sundays during football season, PLUS the day or two every week that I get for that.

Carnage is right! ;D

I'm sure he's spent a lot of lonely nights with righty and lefty. 

isn't this the exact same rant you posted 1 year ago today?

Although I am in a happy relationship, I too think that V-day blows.  It's contrived.  I do nice things for my girlfriend all the time, because I like to -- not because I feel pressure from some made up day.  So, I boycott.

In my relationship, we've reversed the tradition.  She does nice things for me, instead.

I know a lot of single women who hate ths day too. They are made to feel as if they are losers because they don't have a man buying them ridiculous amounts of candy/flowers/jewelry, in order to get a bj and some pussy.

Also if I wanted to throw away a bunch of money in the effort to get laid, I would be married.

It's funny, I predicted in my mind the exact replies to this.  I thought it would be Buddhagirl to post "this is why jtex is single".

First off, you don't even know if I'm single or not, do you?  Luckily, you guessed correctly.

Second, why is hating Valentine's Day "the most outstanding reason" for not having a girlfriend?  This is what you have to do to have a girlfriend now a days - buy into this man-made shit fest of a holiday, follow everything blindly, and not be an original person with original thoughts, feelings, and likes / dislikes?

It's funny how people "bridge the gap" in their minds and fill in the blanks of the unknown in their own way.  For as much heat i take on here for talking shit, you people sure take some gigantic leaps of faith in your minds from time to time.

I don't have a girlfriend because:

1. I'm too busy
2. I don't make myself available (I don't go out to clubs or other "meet singles" places)
3. I hang out at reclusive, selfish establishments where I choose career / opportunity over relationship / family (dimly lit bowling centers and smoke-filled poker rooms)
4. I don't conform to normal / mainstream ideals, beliefs, values on a lot of shit.

That's just the way it is, fellas.  That's who I am, and how I waste my days on Planet Earth.  Last I checked, it's my option to do just that.  So far, I haven't met a girl / woman to be involved in a serious relationship with, and to be honest, I don't know if I ever want to.  The more time passes by, the more I see what everyone else goes through, and while they say they "Love" their mate, it's more of a life-changing hassle then anything, based upon the answers and commentary of which I constantly hear of.  You have to be accounted for at all times by your mate, you have to live each other's life, and you can't take a piss without letting each other know.  No spontaneousness, no individualism, no creativity.  It seems as if you become part of a Borg-like collective that is oddly disconnected from the world, sleepwalking though your existance.

Can I be proven wrong and changed my mind?  Hell yes I can.  But since that hasn't happened yet, let's let it all out, before "my distinctiveness is added" (Star Trek reference).

Nope.  Nothing from me.  Why?  Because I don't care.

And, if you think a relationship is all that you've mentioned, then you're going out with the wrong women. 

My guy and I aren't attached at the hip. I don't care where he is. I don't check up on him, etc.  Find a confident chick with her own shit going and you won't have to deal with that.

As far as the VDay thing, Buddhaboy and I decided not to do anything.  We're saving for a place together and think that's more important.  Plus, he hooks it up year around.  He does great things for me for no reason. Randomly brings me flowers, sends me cards, etc. 

That means a lot more than him running out and buying me some cards or something like that.

Maybe the Star Trek references have something to do with you not having a girlfriend.  ;)

Yeah, I agree with ya - get rid of the middle man and just pay the lady directly!   :P

8:25 Valentines day. At work. Already got into it with 4 women about this ridiculous "occassion".  What a treat. They all think its a man's duty to buy them something and i told them "if i had a girl she would get lovin' 365 days a year, why the hell is this BS day any different then the others." You can't change these chicks minds. They all think they are owed something cause they are the ones with the beavers.

Nice post J.

Thanks Bronco, I knew at least you would understand, if no-one else.

I am with you, Joe. V-day is a gay, stupid, corporate holiday.

Yes, thank you!  My wife rather enjoyed the dinner I made for her.  Thanks for asking!  :)

Seriously,  aren't they all?  

Xmas, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Birthdays = gifts
T-giving = Turkey, food
New years / 4th = fireworks, alcohol
Easter = eggs, coloring supplies

Every other "holiday" doesn't really apply to the peon because the country doesn't shut down to observe it (unless you work for the state/govt. etc)

Deal with it dude, some people don't care either way,  you do.  Self censorship is a grand thing.  Anyone can celebrate most of these days everyday,  if you don't like being told WHEN to do it,  then don't, and have it whenever you want.  Hell, celebrate Xmas in September,  and DON'T give gifts.  Dec. 25 isn't any different from any others either,  so blow that holiday off too,  you're just spending loads of cash on a day no one really observes correctly anyways.  All people care about is getting gifts. Sound familiar?  I guess rebellion never really left your, or anyone else who agree's system.  Whatever,  people who get depressed / pissed off on holidays have serious issues to deal with anyway.  Me...   :|

I am pretty much in line with Dave. I buy flowers and am always thinking of and doing nice things for my girl to let her know how much I appreciate her year round. I don't feel that I should be forced to do anything special today just because of some dumb Hallmark Holiday. I mean seriously it's almost as if they are saying...."Hey guys treat your ladies like shit the other 364 days out of the year but don't forget Valentine's day"!!!!! At the same time I did get up at the ass crack of dawn this morning and delivered a dozen roses, a stuffed animal, and a card to her this morning. She will get them when she wakes up. Nothing extreme like diamond earrings but just a nice gesture. I get so sick of seeing these commercials on TV that make you feel like you have to buy some $2,000.00 earrings to let her really know how you feel. If I am going to give a gift like that it is going to be on my terms.....not Corporate America. As for the night....we are staying in, grilling up a couple of steaks and just hanging out around the house.

Any coincidence that Valentine's Day and Venereal Disease have the same initials?

Thundergod, you write as if I care about Xmas and New Years and don't care about V-Day.  Guess what - I HATE THEM ALL.

I'm a single girl and I like Valentines day.
You can't go wrong with a day celebrating LOVE.  It doesn't have to be about boyfriend/girlfriend relationships.
I get gifts from my mom cause she loves me and I send cute cards to all my friends.
So what if it was invented by Hallmark to make more money.  Go with it and send someone a card that says I love you. 
Its not that bad people.  Where is the love?

Post a pic. I need to review what is doing with you.

Or go to a strip club.

I've always been horrible at V Day. I'm the guy that waits till the last second and ends up getting or doing something that worse than if I'd just said I totally forgot.

However, this year I straight hooked it up. Not that it was on purpose or anything, I found this online looking for something totally unrelated, but I'll take the "forethought" credit. After all these years of debacles I need a victory.

It’s the perfect way to spend Valentine’s Day.

Thats sounds like a really cute idea.  Fairchild Tropical Garden is an amazing place.
Very romantic!  Its kind of far though. 

I had a great Valentine's Day.
I made a kick ass diner for my family and then took a very romantic bath.
Candles, bubbles... In the background a mix of my favorite love songs played. 
It was super sexy.  I am a clean girl. 

I was peering in the window. Thanks for the show !

Don't you wish...

I'm not a big fan of Valentine's day either, but I don't think it's a stupid, corporate holiday. It's been around since at least the 8th century, which is the first time I can remember it being mentioned in Bede's "History".

The problem is it's lost a lot of its roots. You know how it's St Valentine's day? The guy was a martyr. He was killed, at least according to tradition, because he married soldiers after the Roman Emperor had forbidden it.

So, really, the day isn't about candies and chocolates and "sexy baths", it's about political upheaval, baby! F**k the man! And frankly, I'd say that Jtex is closer to the original meaning than most of the people that go along with what we consider Valentine's day to be now.

:D You're so lame sometimes baby. But I love you anyways!
