yeah, way back when my wife and i just got together she told me i didn't have to get her anything for v-day.

don't fall for that one!

I said that, and I meant it. I think the whole thing is stupid. Be a good bf/husband all year round because you want to, not because the calendar says it's time to buy something. I don't want anything, and I'd be disappointed if I got something because then I'd feel bad not having anything to give in return.

I know I'll go to work tomorrow and most of the women will be showing off their new baubles or bragging about what they got. It's one of the reasons I hang out with the guys during breaks.

do not despair single people...good times are literally a weekend away.

Mardi Gras! I ride this Friday night and can't wait. Come on down to Mobile, the original home of Mardi Gras.

I hear you! I'm so not into that womanly "taking stock of the loot" types! That mentality actually nauseates me. But then again, at weddings, when all the girls are embarassing themselves and tripping over each other to catch the bridal bouquet, I seem to find myself conveniently headed to the washroom (I'm not sure if there is a human activity that is more degrading to one's self as a women than that one!). I tend to hang out with guys, too!

Hahaha ... I was once herded into a boquet-catching group. She tossed the thing and it bounced off my head as I was running away

I hate this holiday more than any other. Talk about commercialization and making a buck off of people's emotions - it doesn't get much worse than V-day.

If you're into celebrating it then great. But what I hate is that most guys HAVE to participate or else.....

Anyways, thought I'd bitch a bit - please add your thoughts if you have any.

I don't believe in the commercialized version of Valentine's Day.

I figure if they want to create a day in which we celebrate the love, friendship and companionship we as individuals have with our significant other; than the best way to celebrate is to make some time in our busy every day schedule to just spend time together and remind ourselves and each other how much we love, appreciate and cherish each other. Which of course requires no "National Holiday" because we can do that every day or at least sevral times year, without a "National Holiday".

No need for purchasing superficial presents or products.

If you feel the need to offer a card, make one on your own. make it and write it from the heart.

Otherwise, offer your love and gratitude to your............ lover/wife/girlfriend/husband/boyfriend ...who ever and what ever you want to label it.

Showed them you love them and be kind.

No need to buy anything on this day.

You can buy her/him gifts all year long...all year around.

Use this day to give them your time, love and heart.

"herded"....I love it! It's scary how the radar goes off when the "clan" sees one of their own heading for the hills and somehow they invoke some kind of unconscious suction-action that draws you in....I've been almost-tormented back into the twisted flow of woman-denunciation on more than one occasion. Blech!

I really didn't think Valentine's day was all about only women receiving gifts. That negates the fact that we can be incredibly sexy, giving people - as can men. Shouldn't both partners expect something? Why do men only get to give the gifts, eh?

It's suppose to be a fun time, too. Fun fun fun! That sentiment seems to be missing a little.

Am I wrong or aren't there women out there who enjoy this day+ as a time to give, and not just get? 2-way street type of day in my opinion.

I am a man. And from the way I have always understood the holiday and the way the women in my life have approached it since I started dating; the women always percieved it to be an exchange of gifts. Not a one way street at all. But for several years now, I refuse to be sucked into this whole "Valentine's Day" crap.

Show your love all year long, as often as possible and none of us will ever need a stupid, corporate "Valentine's Day".

I mean, how romantic is it when one does something because it's a "National Holiday"?

Is it not far more romantic when one's lover does something nice, offers love, is kind, offers a nice gift or surprise, when it's unexpected and coming from the heart?

"Valentine's Day", what a joke.

All 364 days before Valentine's Day are considered "Valentine's Day rehearsal", and all 364 days after Valentine's Day are considered "Valentine's Day Second Act." Many days are designated with their own labels i.e, wedding anniversary; birthday. I still think it is just a day designated for fun.

Been boycotting it for 6 years, no intention on stopping now

Whatever happened to being spontaneously romantic? Sure, it's nice to let somebody know how much you love them, but why just this once? Every supermarket, card shop, chocolatier and florist I've seen today are stocking the most extravagent products imaginable. Why not have them year-round? It's pretty depressing to think that even love is being dictated by money.

I mean, even if we both decide not to celebrate it she will still feel sad when she hears her girlfriends talk about what their boyfriends did for them.

yes - yes - yes! this is the whole problem. most girls probably really don't care, but what are they going to do when all their girlfriends are sitting around talking about it or her friends at work?!

they all need to collectively ban it. birthday, anniversay, x-mas...they get their share in a given year. i was in hallmark on monday and it looked like best buy at christmas time. they have us by the balls dammit!

I don't call it Valentine's Day. I called it "Forced Romance Day". I choose not to participate.

I don't know if you have this day down in the States yet? But up here we have on March 14, a day named Steak & Blow Job day. It is like a Valentine Day for the men. See, we are all about spoiling both sexes. So I hope it catches on down there so you won't feel so jaded about love and just another day of being alive.

This day falls on today in my household! Because this is actually what I am getting!! HAHA! And I NEVER get steak at my house, NEVER! And today I am!!!

Oh, and yes, my wife and I came to an agreement a long time ago that this day is stupid and there is no need for it. And she actually meant it! As long as I show her the love today that I show here everyday, then I am good as gold!

And with you being my myspace friend, it's pretty clear that your wife is a lucky woman! "this is actually what I'm getting"... I'm spotting a pattern, here... do you only post in response to the oral sex commentary out here, friend??

HAHA!! Thanks for that Angelica.....no, it was more in response to the STEAK part of it. I never get to eat steak at home! She doesn't care for it and since she is the one that cooks, well, I rarely get it. But if the other part happens....well, then all the better the day will be!

And if I do only respond to those, well, its safe, this way I don't get into all of the name calling and bashing that I see going on around here everyday!

And for you friend....Happy Valentine's Day! Your man is pretty lucky as well!!! ;-)

Okay, thanks for clarifying! You mentioned you NEVER get steak, but just left us hanging on the other part! And good insight: The oral sex posts usually are of the safer type of posts to get involved in, interestingly enough! I wish you and your beautiful wife a WONDERFUL Valentine's day back! Enjoy the steak, and...well, possibly, the other stuff!
