Valentines day is only for women only, so why are men encouraged to celebrate it too?

[Anonymous]

Do you ever notice how on valentines day the pressure is always put on men, because he needs to plan the date, pay double the price of where they're going or what they'll do? It's basically mathematics day for men because we'll be computing how much we'll be spending on our girlfriend/wife without them actually reciprocating nor even thinking that men deserve gifts too.

They only think of men as providers or ATMs, ironically they claim to be a strong and independent woman. One who is unable to reciprocate the efforts of a man, because they're only strong and independent when it comes to paying for their own stuff. Us men would show our love by offering to pay for them yet women never do that.

And when it's time to reciprocate, these so called strong and independent women will revert back into their feminine energy and test to see if the man will let her reciprocate. Infact, women resent it if a man lets them pay even only once or for the first time!

Your update is absolutely flawed, but i do agree that valentines day is just a made up holiday to fleece couples of money in buying gifts/going out to eat. It really shouldn't be celebrated at all.

How is it flawed though?

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

That women resent men who let them pay. Thats junk

[Asker]

But it's true though. Y'all test a man by pretending to offer to pay but deep inside you still want a man to pay. It's how women are wired. They're only strong and independent when they pay for themselves but they never reciprocate the efforts of a man.

See, can't reply anymore because you know it's the truth.

Bruh, im in America. It was 3 am when you responded. I was asleep.

You are wrong though. At this point we'd rather just pay for ourselves so their is no expectations of sex just because a man paid for us

There*

[Asker]

You obviously know that's not what I meant! See... that's the problem, as a strong and independent woman, ironically YOU CAN'T PAY FOR A MAN EVEN ONCE! THAT'S MY FREAKING POINT!

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

I pay for my boyfriend and at times he pays for me. That's what a good relationship looks like.

I know plenty of women who also pay for the reason I already listed. So no, in this case, you are wrong.

[Asker]

Don't even get me started with that "Women can pay for themselves." because what I'm pointing out is that women have no DNA to even date a man who works at a fast-food chain, while us men if we see a lady working at KFC, hell we will be marrying them for a week.

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

Oh please. My boyfriend works as a security guard and I work in IT. I easily make more than him and not once did it stop me from loving him. Sure there are some gold digging women who are like what you describe but they are far from the norm.

[Asker]

Okay. Well if you really want to insist that I'm wrong then I'll gladly respect your POV. Go ahead believe what your mind wants you to believe.

It isn't only for women. My sisters have husbands, and they always gift them something for Valentines Day. It's never one sided.

Although it has gotten a little better in recent years, Valentine's Day has historically been female entitlement day, and still is to a large extent.

Since when, has it been just for women.

Apparently, you don't get out much.

[Adel50]

Well, it is much of what I have observed. I don't really know the actual stats.

[jamesgoldman]

Of course I celebrate it, I'm making a fortune

because men are the ones spending the money
