Now let me start off by saying that I love my girlfriend very much. But I do not believe in this holiday! As a matter of fact, I detest this day! There was a time when I was blinded by the significance of this stupid day. But then I realized that it is one day out of the year where you are suppose to show someone you care about them. Umm I am sorry but what about the other 364 days? So it got me the thinking and I started to realize that this concept is just plain bullshit! I mean think about it. Nobody is really buying greeting cards after Christmas. People rarely buy anything for Saint Patricks Day or Cinco De Mayo, unless it contains alcohol. So realistically you have until Easter in April as a holiday where people flock to get greeting cards, flowers, chocolate, etc. That puts you at a third of the year gone by before a major spending splurge. So if you are Hallmark and you know that your sales are struggling then what are you left to do? Well… You can glorify a dumbass holiday in February where you demonstrate your love for someone special in your life. Now you can call my argument bullshit, I don’t care but just think about it the next time you are in a CVS, Target, or Hallmark. Watch how many people are spending money on stuffed animals, chocolate, flowers.
Love is suppose to be a two way street. A highway of compromise. Well why is it that on a day where you are to celebrate your love for one another that guys get screwed on this holiday? Ask any guy out there what he is getting for his significant other on Valentine’s Day? I bet you will hear roses, chocolates, jewelry, fancy dinner, vacation, etc. But ask a woman what she is getting her significant other? I would be curious to know this answer. But I would be willing to bet that it isn’t anything close to what the guy is getting her. I have even heard some women say that they aren’t getting their boyfriend/husband anything. Now you can stop with all your bitter thoughts about me being cheap. Because I am not. I like spending money on my girlfriend. But not because some holiday tells me that on this day I am suppose to demonstrate my love. Sorry but I just don’t buy it (pun intended). If you truly care about each other then treat this as any other day. Don’t be sheep!
Now you may totally disagree with what I have to say about this holiday! You may be furious with the truth that was written in this post. Well if you are one of those people then please direct your attention to the picture below!!
I hate V-day as well. Maybe thats because I havent had anyone to spend it with in years… by choice. That day is a guaranteed money-spending night and then, unless she is your girlfriend, its still only a 60/40 chance of making it worth your time:P. Oh well. V-day is over-rated.
