I hates me some Valentines Day. Classic example of a "hallmark holiday."

I will get my lady flowers and take her out for a nice meal, but I don't mind those things, I do them from time to time anyway...
 
Saw this Sunday morning.

When you're single, Valentine's Day is brutal. It's a reminder that you are alone. Here is a day to celebrate love and romance, that thing absent in your life. Singles on Valentine's Day are the vegans at the steakhouse. ["Boy, everyone sure seems to be enjoying their steak."]

Valentine's Day isn't much better when you are part of a couple. I am happily married, but I view Valentine's Day as another opportunity for me to fail. lol-049

Valentines Day has always ticked me off. Just another way to squeeze cash out of the consumer. I am functionally single right now anyways.....

I hear ya. Luckily for me, my wife has never been big on Valentine's Day. She's not a fan of cut flowers (thinks it's sad that they all die shortly) or the ridiculous crowds at restaurants. It'll be especially bad this year, being on a Saturday. We typically just get carry-out from somewhere and have a quiet evening at home.

Valentine's Day (or the idea behind it) should be every day in a healthy relationship.
 
My favorite is the commercial with adult women reacting happily to a 4 foot tall, 100 dollar teddy bear. Who the fuck wants a giant teddy bear past age 6? I asked my wife and her jugsy kickboxing friend about the commercial and they both agreed that it was a pretty stupid gift item and perhaps even a bit creepy with some daddy issue undertones.
 
I ignored Valentine's day when I was single. Now I am married we ignore it together, if we remember. We always have cut flowers in the house, and these days also chocolate since my wife is trying to wean the children off of proper candy, and we sure as hell aren't short of plush toys.
