boring valentine!
once again Allen with his boring thread! every year this festival always broke the heart of the person that has no valentine or not interested in love so let me see how many are like me (hater) with no interest in love I am pretty sure there will be more male than female! and yes tell me that you ever interested in love? for me? never! never ever interested in love!
warning (only haters allowed. other vises you should be careful with your valentine!) |
i only "hated" Valentines back then bcs it was the cool single kid thing to do. i've since learned though to appreciate it as a day to celebrate love of all kinds, not just romantic. if you don't have a partner to share Valentines with, there's always your family, or your close friends!

I like how candy and other sugary foods go on sale for about 50% off.
|
To experience romantic love would be nice on Valentines Day, however I show my love towards my family and myself (self love) on that day.
|
I used to dislike Valentines cause every single time that day came around my heart broke, but now I just... feel indifferent?
I'm not the type either to just ruin other people's mood who do like the day, that's just no bueno imo. maybe this year will be different, who knows, this year is already full of suprises anyways |

I actually happen to be the cheesy, hopeless romantic type of guy. I don't think I've ever properly celebrated Valentine's Day, but if I get a girlfriend in the future, I'll be sure to give her the five-star treatment for the day, and be all lovey-dovey till her heart's content.

I've never cared much for the holiday myself, but it's not because of the common reasons of hating it due to heartbreak or a lacking love life, it's just that I'm aromantic is all.

I don't mind being alone at all, I have my family, my cat and myself. (self love)

I'm not really that much of a romantic person, and I have even less interest in pretending that Valentine's Day has any meaning outside of capitalist propaganda to make people spend more.
That said, I don't hate Valentine's Day, I'm just ... indifferent to it. It makes some people happy and outside of the usual evils of consumerism it doesn't really harm anyone, so, go nuts, I guess. I guess I'd play along with it if I had a significant other, the same way I play along with say, Christmas or New Years. |
I don't really care about it. I don't see myself being in a relationship but it doesn't bug me.

Am I the only one who finds the capitalism argument dumb? I'm not saying that it's incorrect, but you can splash it onto basically everything that involves money. Dragging something down purely because of a generic argument like that kinda beats down all the positive aspects to it.
Are my overly romantic tendencies trying too hard to defend a day like this? Maybe. At the same time I was never in my life blessed with a respective other being. I'm also aware that I'm not guaranteed to ever receive this kind of blessing, either. And arguably "self love" also requires you to have a "self" to begin with. It stings but at least if someone else is having a fun time with their respective other then I guess the day was worth it. It's about the underlying positive message. After all it's a day about giving something positive to others and not demanding something from someone else. (I'm only calling myself out on my selfish behavior and no one else, btw.) |

The problem with Valentines, in my opinion, is that the capitalist tendencies start to be seen as an expectation instead of something you do because you like the person. A lot of people get angry if they don't get a Valentine's Day gift or a special night out or something like that when there's no particular reason you have do it on that day. In fact you'll likely face a certain inflation for a number of common services, restaurants and things of the like will likely be crowded because everybody is going out. If you need a babysitter, it's likely gonna be a bit harder to get one because again, lots of couples are going out. If you do it one week earlier or one week later, you'll likely have a better experience for less. I don't have anything against the concept of showing your love for someone, but I don't think it needs its own day. Showing your love should be spontaneous and within your means, not something pre-ordained by random people. Maybe it's a cultural divide and Valentines Day in my country is different than yours, it already has a different date (June) so it's perfectly possible the "celebrations" are different, I don't know. |
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I dunno, I like Valentines Day just fine! It’s cute and important for bonding between some couples. Hell, I was even engaged on a Valentine’s Day! But overall, I’m personally low maintenance about it. My partner and I can be romantic whenever we want so we don’t exchange gifts or buy fancy chocolates or go out to eat on any one particular day. At most it’s just the only day we say, “happy valentines!” to one another and that’s it. And that’s enough for me. (´▽`ʃƪ)♡ |
i ignore it, personally. just another regular day, to me.
|
Valentine’s Day doesn’t bother me, is nice if you have a partner but it’s not like it’s a big occasion if you don’t.
|
I guess I'm indifferent to Valentines Day. But I do like my candy/sweets. It's also one of my friend's birthday, so I'll probably be celebrating with them.
