The majority of all of you are pathetic. The reason why most of you are single is because nobody wants to deal with someone completely lacking self-confidence and independence. Go outside on occasion, have fun and meet some people, or if your hobbies revolve continually around the computer, go meet some other nerds and geeks and perhaps find someone special.

What's worse are the people saying Valentine's is just-another-day, which "ironically" are the perma-single people. Valentine's day is essentially a booked off day for couples to enjoy themselves together. With the zaniness of most people's schedules (note, for some of the people in this thread, that doesn't imply to you), it can be hard to find a day where a couple can be together, just with each other. Valentine's day is a great day where two people can be romantic.

And to the pseudo-intellectuals blabbering about how it's just a way for Hallmark to make money, etc, most people that aren't in hollow love tend to pair little gifts with deep thoughts and passion for each other. Lovers don't buy each other, they give to each other. You losers are looking at the card's/gift's function and not its symbolism. Then again, if you've been single all your life, you likely wouldn't understand what it's like for someone to care for you.

You make it sound like you're supposed to feed women chocolate as you would a dog. Good job.

As long as the weather is nice, my girlfriend and I will be having a picnic down at the lake, where we'll likely be until after the sun sets. If the weather is bad, we'll just be hanging out all day and night like we do every weekend.

Quite true.

But I try to make the day extra extra special for that special someone. I already made a poem. Trying to get some Godiva chocolate at the moment. :P

Just another day to remind me that I'm going to be single forever. 8D

...

;_;

Yamikarasu February 9th, 2010 7:38 PM

It's probably my fault I don't have a valentine this year... I should probably be more "agressive" about things like this, but I'm fine being single, again.

Kura February 9th, 2010 7:45 PM

I kinda agree with Apples there..

So many people are such downers on Valentines day. I live far from the guy that I love and although we exchange letters and skype all the time, it's kinda nice to have a day to send a package from the stuff we've collected for each other over the weeks since the last occasion :3..

I hate it how for the past four years, every relationship I had ends up being broken whenever Valentine's Day was only like three days away. That pisses me off.

Besides, a person can be romantic at any day. Why must it be that particular day?

This.

I don't mind the holiday, definitely not going to go and be whiny about not having a date/relationship. It's nice if you do though.

sirboulevard February 9th, 2010 11:40 PM

I've been single for 5 years now (simply because everyone i like is taken V_V) so I ahte Valentine's Day because it makes me think about the one thing in my life I lack. A woman.

003 February 9th, 2010 11:47 PM

They aren't all they're cracked up to be...

crap I lied and posting in this thread is making me whiny about valentines day... ABORT

Code February 9th, 2010 11:55 PM

Well, at my school, it's teh perfect day, since it gives us excuses to give cards to the people we like (even though they don't know you like em), and if you had done it any other time of the year, it would have been embarrassing.
But I hate it when it uses it's sneak attack....I never saw it comin! XD

Zizi February 9th, 2010 11:58 PM

I really hate valentines day, its just so.. cheesy. I am in a relationship but i don't know why i still really dislike that day.
:D

Halcyon February 10th, 2010 12:03 AM

In Singapore, Valentine's Day falls on the same day with Chinese/Lunar New Year, but I am not taken yet, so... it's ang-pau (google if you don't know what is that) day for me! :D

magikarptrainer February 10th, 2010 12:48 AM

I completely agree with apples.

Don't be pessimists, people.

Unforgettable February 10th, 2010 12:53 AM

I'm not a fan of the day. I've had boyfriends on the day, and I just don't see what's so special about it. If you really love someone, it's like celebrating everyday, and not just one day of the year.

dc_united February 10th, 2010 10:27 AM

Hopefully, I'll have gotten back together with one of my ex's, and will have a rather good day, assuming we can get out of our houses due to the snow.

In reality, I'll probably still be single, she'll rub all this praise about her new boyfriend in my face, and I'll go over to a friends house and us two single guys will get wasted while playing FIFA or Left 4 Dead. Hoorah for the Holidays.

Cherrim February 10th, 2010 10:33 AM

I don't see why people make such a big deal out of Valentine's Day either way. If you have someone to share it with, great! You've pretty much got a set day to get together and do something, whether it be cliché romance like seeing a movie and grabbing dinner or just hanging out together. If you don't have anyone, just treat it like any other day.

If you're that insecure that a mere date for couples makes you hostile, I think there are bigger problems for you to deal with than "omg Hallmark and corporations are taking over the world with their fake holidays!!1". :/

apples2, while I agree with virtually everything you're saying, watch the language.

Ayselipera February 10th, 2010 11:46 AM

Valentines Day is fine with me. Some people have said that it's a waste of a holiday because you should always be loving/sweet with your bf/gf, but in the real world relationships aren't always like that. Valentines Day is nice because it gives you that chance to remind your lover that you still care about them. That even though you may be busy at times or fight once in a while you still care about them.

Raichu1988 February 10th, 2010 1:13 PM

I think Valentine's Day is overrated, but when I can spend it with someone I still like to. That doesn't mean I put all my effort into doing things for them on that one day a year, because I do all the time anyway. But, it's cute to get some chocolates or something specifically for Valentine's Day. I just don't think it should be as hyped up as it is.

As you all know, Valentines Day is comming up.
What's you're opinion on it?

Personally, I hate it. If you love someone with all your heart, you should be doing little things for them all the time. It's all over rated.

I'm not just saying that because I'm single and I've never been in a relationship over valentines day. No, I'm really not. I just don't like the damn holiday.

Basically what is said here, anyways I look forward to Pancake day more! :D

While I was one of the people that previously said I like Valentine's Day, I incredibly dislike Apple's post (no surprise he got booted out for something then). While opinions are wonderful things... your opinion has been expressed in a way that may be rather hurtful and offensive towards other people. Furthermore, these "Pseudo-Intellectuals" (some of whom are at Oxford University :cheeky:) are pretty much right about the commercialisation of Valentine's Day. You'd have to be living in an airtight metal container in Bhutan to have not noticed the massive influx of heart-shaped objects that hits our shops this time of year. Suddenly, something as simple as purchasing a box of cookies to eat on the way home has to become purchasing a box of heart-shaped love biscuits with strawberries all wrapped up tight in their heart-shaped box with pictures of Eros and wrapped up in a pretty red ribbon. Aww...ain't that romantic. Actually no. Its garish, its gaudy, its tacky , its tasteless. It is the bland consumerised idea of love that the shops force us to buy our loved ones or they won'y love us back. I prefer to make my Valentine's gifts reflect the person's idea of love and not the bland corporate majority's idea of love. Get something special to them. Roses? Chocolate? Cards? How unoriginal. How pointless. Its just a form of income for the shops. I love Valentine's Day. I hate the commercialisation of it, turning a wonderful celebration of a universal human emotion into a moneyfest for everyone who can cash in. Don't you realise this when you see heart-shaped Valentine's dog biscuits in pet shops? Or were you too busy eating them and saying "I <censored> loved Valentine's Day!!!!!!!" followed by a series of grunts. Now quit your insults and grow up. You obviously don't know what love is, so stop suggesting other people do not. You certainly won't make many friends that way.

NB: I realise the bit about the "bland corporate majority" sounds like sterotypical punk-rock lyrics but for once it actually makes sense to use it in a sentense.

supertails February 10th, 2010 2:03 PM

I have a wonderful partner but I still kinda hate it.

Amore February 10th, 2010 2:07 PM

Never been with someone, kinda want to, but i wouldn't go all out on valentine's day.
i definitely wouldn't do a "to my valentine" card or something to that effect.

I'd do something though, it's kinda traditional innit?

Like make my own card for the person or something

Feel free to replace 'chocolate' with whatever food she most likes; it seems to me to be something inherent of the gender that women like eating.

Everyone likes eating. The way you say it makes it seems like you're supposed to feed women like an animal. Does your sexism stem from being rejected in the past?

supertails February 10th, 2010 3:11 PM

I know that meat is always good. I love my meat.
