Boycott Valentine's day?

Man, Valentines day is like the gold mine of the year. It's that magical day when all the lonely and hot college girls storm the clubs in hopes of not spending their "celebrate love night" alone. The amount of miniskirts in an otherwise soul piercing cold is absolutely ridiculous.
I'm not even joking man, it's awesome.

And as always, if you're in a relationship with a person that demands money be spent on her so that she can have something to show off social media, maybe you gave the gf title to the wrong girl.

I'll treat her to a hot bath and some scented oils. Maybe a massage and a mostly like failed attempt at a home-cooked dinner. Or maybe I'll take her to her favorite sushi place to eat until she can't breath no more. And on the way there I'll buy her a single flower in an overly exaggerated and mocking manner, because the princess must absolutely haveth a dead plant on thy glorious day.

So what if you're spending money man? I don't even see it as spending money, I see it as creating an experience. No one says you have to be sleezy and diabetically romantic in that classical way. Add your own personality to it as far as I'm concerned.

But what does boycotting accomplish? Suckers are gonna be suckers regardless of whether or not they came home with 60 roses.

Eh, I am talking about buying things or celebrating it for your specific spouse. I'd definitely go out for the singles nights that the day creates though. Business as usual.


And eh, i can see you're mockery of Valentines day as a way to debunk it in a girls eyes which is another good alternative. I'm just avoiding the restaurants, the gifts, and the candy + roses at all costs.

Personally for me, if I'm in a relationship on Valentine's day then I'm going to do something for my girl and it'll be nice. Not nice for her, but for both of us. Like I've said in previous posts...I don't mind spending money on someone deserving of it as long as it isn't putting me in a financial bind. If I label one girl as my girlfriend, she's definitely deserving of spending money on...especially, on Valentine's Day.

Am I the only guy who gets gifts on vday?

Am I the only guy who gets gifts on vday? I've given flowers jewelry and chocolates and gotten more than I've spent it return. In fact I usually receive gifts worth more on a dollar level which required more thought and effort than I spent. As rc said don't be with someone who is that demanding. Man if I boycott bday id be missing out. If you're with a chick expecting gifts and she hasn't put any effort into getting you gifts... Run.

I never understood this holiday- everything is overpriced, I have a sense of anxiety to please my significant other and I feel like I was only watching others do it so I had to.

Valentines day is all about her and expected generosity (hence the anxiety) because it's demanded and it's expected. .
