I Hate Valentines Day

[TheeGoatPig]

Come in here to mope about how you hate being alone while all the happy couples flit around you and make you feel like a worthless lump of shit because you don't have anyone to share the day with

Happy people are not allowed in here.

Truthfully, I have no idea why some make such a big deal of Valentine's Day in either direction. People walk around blissfully happy because they have someone to share the day with. Or people get upset because their partners don't do what they were expected to do. Or people get upset because they're single and seem to feel that Valentine's Day and the couples who enjoy it are rubbing their happiness in their faces. Or they're unhappy with who they're with and Valentine's Day is a sad or angry reminder that they don't have what they're looking for.

It's just another day, at least to me. I really don't understand the brouhaha.

You could say that about Christmas or any holiday. There is no objective reason to have brouhaha over any day, it's what we as people place as significant enough for celebration. It just so happens that if you have a female and she plays a typical girlfriend or wife role, she'll expect brouhaha on Valentine's Day, because that's what is expected when you're in a relationship. It's really that simple, no need to rationalize why a day is important for celebration over any other day. If a female thinks it's special then you better make it fucking special or you'll pay the penalties. Suck it up, kiss her butt.

Apologies, but given that I am a married woman I resent this generalization. Especially since I know a lot of other women in relationships who don't see V-Day as a big deal.

I am a truly dreadful person.
I find all of these things just horrendous. I don't "celebrate" Mothers' day, Father's day, Valentine's day, anniversaries, birthdays if i could get away with it and Christmas under duress!! My belief is we should honour people every day and not just once a year......and I KNOW how pretentious all of that makes me sound!!

My apologies in return. But just from my experience I've never encountered a female who was in a relationship who didn't think it was some kind of deal, however small. The only females claiming it wasn't a deal were ones who were single or forgotten by their SO.

Maybe you'd think it was a big deal if your hubby made it a big deal. Shame on him for not treating you right after 30 years of marriage and kids and all that.

But it does give me the excuse to kiss all of the sweet men here

 

[al_Ussa]

Anyone who defines themselves based solely on their relationship to another human being will ultimately be miserable no matter whether they are in a relationship or not.

I'm a lover but I've never felt the need to define my identity based on my own lovers. Even though I may be devoted to them. I still have my own individuality and personality.

LaRocha, I don't know who trained you, but they did a mighty fine job with you.

You need to get out more.

If you have a wife or girlfriend who is not worth some brouhaha on Valentine's day, you have made a poor choice of partner.

If you can't see that much, then both of you have made a mistake.

"...if I have a female...?"

"...if a female thinks it's special...?"

What, am I dating Lassie, here?

When did the woman that I'm with turn into the female that I have?

When was this holiday all about women? Do not men have feelings to be considered as well?

John Mayer, is that you?

 

[DeeZire]

I think if hookers offered a Valentine Day special, they'd clean up. (In my case, they'd have to clean up with a wet wash rag - all over their tits.)

Valentine Haters

LOS ANGELES — Authorities say two men suspected of robbing a street-corner Valentine's Day gift stand in Los Angeles were killed early Sunday in a car crash after leading police on a chase.


No seat belts?

'My Woman' or 'Girl' is possessive and disrespectful. 'A female' simply denotes sex. I read what John Mayer said in that interview, he was almost worshipful of Jennifer and Jessica. The stuff about ghetto pass is garbage only because he's a pretend bluesman, not a pretend black.

I've read a few of your comments, I don't think you're much for reading comprehension.

I don't have to assign value to a day for it to have value to my partner and thereby perform as if it has value to make my partner happy. As my goal is my partner's happiness and not in accepting some bullshit holiday as something objectively grand. So I do perform as if it has value, when I know the only value is in how she regards the day.

Most females do accept Valentine's Day as something that's objectively meaningful in our culture. I don't have to get out more if your partner doesn't treat you right, you have to have a talk with your partner about why they can't act like your lover one night out of the year, Miss Lonely Hearts. Or, maybe they're so wonderful everyday is Valentines except for Valentine's Day? See how much sense that makes? This is the thread to bitch, and I'm certainly not a fan of the day.

You're right, when using the term "female," you ARE denoting sex. Like for a dog or a cat.

Peep what I said again. I'm not denoting possession or assigning blame to a non-human female organism there. But repeat "when I have a female" again and rethink what that implies and how it sounds.

And if you think what John Mayer said about Jennifer and Jessica was worshipful, you really need to read what women think about it. Not very flattering or positive in the least. Notice I didn't say "the females" in lieu of "women."

Poor guy, don't try to use logic and critical thinking here. It appears first glance, discounting any philosophy , you should worry about getting to know yourself first, before assuming you know others.

Some people know themselves. Regardless, would you judge an artist's morals while appreciating a masterpiece. You DORK, you must have no idea what blues is really about.

THEEEEEEE, a post post Valentine salute to your thread!! Straight from my heart sweetie! RAWRRRRRR

Who the fuck is FreeFallMC?

John Mayer is a blues player? No, he's a pop singer. I'm sure some idiot 30 something lonely white hag is going to tell me about the blues. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_UwWssDzsA

"Discounting any philosophy"? Wtf are you talking about? Who's talking about philosophy? "Discounting any quantum fluctuations" you have scabies.

I don't care what women think of it, you shouldn't either, it's none of your business unless you're Jessica Simpson or Jennifer Aniston. If so, then you can tell me what you think of John Mayer's words about you.

Peep what I said again, you're saying I'm denoting possession in your original snark, I'm not. I'm giving a hypothetical where the "I" is any individual and the "female" is any female. My statement looks nothing like "My woman/female/girl." But you insisted that it did, as if I'm referring to my possessed pet. Real basic English language usage.

Even better, you've been around for three years and have no stories posted. Next you'll be telling me how great of a writer you are, your mastery of prose...

 

[LaRocha]

Just since you brought up dogs. You do not own your pet, you only take responsibility for their well being, same as when you have children. My dog and my female(non-hypothetical) are free to leave me at any time. Both have access to the backyard and there's no fence out there.

 

[Freefall_mc]

Thank you for the answers LaRocha, for a little insight into you. Are we near sighted? Nothing but black and white? Artists are not limited sonny, or defined solely by individual pieces. There is a bigger picture, yaaaa know.

I do enjoy other opinions. The person, really doesn't have to matter to me.

But you are turning me on. :caning: You're such a victim!

This particular Feb. 14 included Chinese New Year (go year of the Tiger!) AND a three-day weekend because of President's day. It was the chance of a lifetime (because such overlap doesn't happen often) to ignore Valentine's in favor of two other holidays.

You ought to have had some Chinese food and watched a documentary on Abe Lincoln
