Guys, what would you like as a gift for valentines?

[bobalife]

Valentine is coming up. I’m genuinely curious and for funsie. I’m single like a pringle, but considering for my future boyfriend to be the best girlfriend for him when he finds me :3

[FunkyMonkee]

My girlfriend in my arms!!

[bobalife]

Awwwww omg this is sooo cute!!! 😭🥰

[FunkyMonkee]

Thank you!! Last year, she sent me a gift certificate for Dunkin' Donuts and a Valentine's card.
There's an old song I possibly quoted to her about a year ago and probably will again soon.
If you gave me a room full of roses,
I'd give them right back to you.
`Cause I don't want a room full of roses.
I just want my arms full of you!

If you see this, hun, I love you!!! MWAH!!!

Okay, it's official! There's some wet stuff falling out of my eyes!!

[bobalife]

Senerading your lover through my post and comments….. 😭😭😭💘 okayyyy, I hope I find similar deep and pure love around your age like this 🥹🫶🏻 too cute too cute🙂‍↕️

[FunkyMonkee]

Thank you!! I hope you find it, too! Good luck!!

[bobalife]

Hehe awww thank you kind sir ☺️🥹🥰🫶🏻

[FunkyMonkee]

No problem! (That'll be $10.00.)
If you haven't already, you'll find someone.

[bobalife]

Okay if you find me someone compatible, I’ll pay you $10 sir 🤣 jkjk. I haven’t had luck and that’s okay since I have been a very, very busy woman over the past couple years :) but I might just be ready soon to start looking for a relationship.

[bobalife]

Maybe you can help answer my question post yesterday 😃 Was he interested or not interested since he didn’t ask for my number? ↗

[Jltakk]

Just existing is enough.

[bobalife]

Aww How sweet!!! 🥹😭

[AI Opinion]

As your relationship cupid, let’s cupid-strike this question! Most guys dig thoughtful and personal touches. Think about his hobbies, favorite bands, or that snack he can't resist. Planning an experience together can be a hit, too! If he's a coffee lover, maybe a quirky mug, or a special brew can be charming. Although you're flying solo like a pringle, you're setting the stage for future romantic fireworks! 🏹✨

[ohsheeT]

I really dont care to much about a gift

I have always used Valentine's Day to the romantic to be sweet. To make it all about her

It's another of saying thank you for putting up with all my crap. As I've had girlfriends before where she had made plans and I was working and I couldn't get away, so it's my way of saying I'm sorry, I apologize and thank you for putting up with me. It didn't happen do many times but still

But there have been times where you throw your clothes down, you go in, take a shower.\n Did you sleep? You wake up, take a shower and you're off to work and as you're driving away, you're thinking about the clothes you left on the floor and this is just another way to say thank you for being there for me too. And backing my play. So\nI like to go all out.\nAnd take the whole day , the whole night and just make it all about her but this year like you , I am single so bixby I guess I would rather still got fourteen or twelve more days l o l

[MicahRaine]

An evening out. Hike out to a pretty place in the mountains, have a picnic while watching the sunset, then camp out and watch a movie. What more can a guy ask for?

[bobalife]

That sounds quite romantic :)

[msc545]

I hate to say this, but if you don't spend a lot of money on this, it's not going to turn out well.

[MicahRaine]

@msc545 what do you define as a lot of money?

[MicahRaine]

@bobalife romantic and lowkey :)

[msc545]

I don't know that's up to the woman, but I can tell you that it isn't going to be a small amount. Generally speaking. I'd say something north of $500 would be the minimum you could expect to do the job.

[MicahRaine]

@msc545 what are you talking about man 💀

What "job" do you mean? Isn't the goal just to have a good time that both parties enjoy? I never have and never will associate with ANY person who can't have a good time for less than $500. To be perfectly honest, I will never even consider being friends with someone who can't have fun with another person doing something that cost $0.

[msc545]

I think you and I live in very different places. I'm in Los Angeles adjacent to Beverly hills in the Hollywood hills. The women here are all into money in a big way.

[MicahRaine]

@msc545 That's quite possible. Thank God I don't live anywhere near there 😂 I've had some experience with those kinds of people, and I can't say I'd touch them with a ten-foot pole for a hundred bucks. I understand why some people are like that, but I'm gonna do me lol

[bobalife]

@MicahRaine romantic and low key can be the perfect sweetness :)

@msc545 I understand location can make a difference in dating. You probably just haven’t met the right gal or you’ll probably need to relocate to find someone who matches your lifestyle for compatibility. I’m from NorCal, a lot of us ain’t like that lol.

[msc545]

Go ahead and do you, brother, and I hope you have a great time. I'm just going to stay home and ignore it.

[MicahRaine]

@bobalife I couldn't agree more :)

@msc545 You too man, to quote a hollywood classic, "Party on, dudes"

[bobalife]

@MicahRaine have you done any of those date ideas before?

[MicahRaine]

@bobalife Yep! 10/10 recommend! It’s super fun, low pressure, and often leads to great conversations!

One thing though if you’re going to camp, make sure the weather is nice, that you have a way to mitigate it, or that neither party minds bad weather!

[bobalife]

@MicahRaine You sound like sucha romantic and good planner :) I think it's very refreshing and hopeful to hear, I don't really hear this often anymore where a guy takes time to put thoughtful date ideas together. If you're taken, she is one lucky lady :)

[MicahRaine]

Aw thank you ☺️ I'm glad to be a good influence! Like you said, we don't really hear much about people putting in effort, but the good ones are out there. That goes for guys and girls! The internet has become so divisive, especially when it comes to male and female, but I think most people out there are pretty decent! I'm single, and it's such a blessing at times, but I also look forward to finding my lucky lady :)

[bobalife]

Wow, you’re so optimistic, @MicahRaine! I feel like your optimism & compassion is needed in GAG world and outside with the current generation dating… thanks so much for spreading your positivity here on my post 🥹 I completely agreed with you, I hope both genders are able to somehow meet in the middle… May I ask for your opinion, why do you think both genders has became so divisive?🥺 LOL! I’m sure any lucky lady will be happy to be yours once you find her ☺️

[MicahRaine]

Thanks, and of course! It's great to meet a like-minded person 😊

In my opinion, social media is the biggest reason genders have become so divisive. Social media companies rely on the users' engagement. The algorithms figured out pretty quickly that the easiest and most reliable way to gain lasting traction is to evoke a strong emotion. Negative emotions such as anger, sorrow, hurt, etc are much easier to evoke than the positive emotions such as joy, inspiration, hope, etc. So the algorithm will, based on engagement, identify the users’ stance on various issues. Then it pushes posts, shorts, and comments that will evoke a strong negative emotion. Because that negative content will create strong engagement. 
In turn, all that negative consumption creates users who have a very one-sided and understandably emotional view of reality. Users aren’t to blame for the algorithm’s design, but many users will fall victim to seeing the negative extreme of nearly every modern issue. So of course negative and emotional content leads to people being divided on nearly everything, whether it's gender, politics, sports, nationality, race, etc.

[bobalife]

Aw thank you, I couldn’t agree more! 😊

Wait… are you really 22? I’m curious what’s your educational background from everything you just shared. You sound incredibly smart! I really appreciate how articulate and analytical you are to answering my question! 🥹🥹🥹 I actually agreed with everything you just said about how much social media plays a huge influence to our current challenges with genders becoming so divisive…. It may be beneficial for social media companies, but it definitely is harming our generation’s dating/relationships and psychologically… because you’re right, it is in our brain to easily grasp what is relevant to our negative emotions and memories. Naturally we would want to protect ourselves first. It is important to take more control in our social media platforms… we can shift to a more positive engagement in order to redirect our focus and rewire our brain from the negative consumption.
Luckily on my Instagram, a lot of my stuff is primarily focus on motivational quotes, funny reels, my shows, music, and art related things haha. What about you?

[msc545]

lol ! Cool!

[bobalife]

@msc545 😂😂😂

[MicahRaine]

I'm glad it made sense, and that you agree! You're also very welcome. It's always a happy event when I can give someone a detailed answer :)

You're absolutely right that we can and should be intentional about engaging with positive content to rewire our brains/thought patterns.

My social media feed is fairly similar to yours; it's full of inspirational stories, motivational speeches, sport/motorsport clips, music, a certain show I love, and couples vlogging their trips.

And yes 😂 I am 22. I dropped out of high school at 18 to work two full-time jobs and provide for myself. I was fortunate enough to re-enter high school two years later and graduate a year later, but that's where my formal education stopped. I do enjoy educating myself on topics I find interesting or impactful, though, and I hope to study engineering soon!

[MicahRaine]

If you would like, we can continue this conversation in DMs. @msc545 is snooping on our /deeply/ personal conversation, which is incredibly uncomfortable. I believe he is waiting for the next episode, and may even be quite invested.

@msc545 I'm just teasing though lol

[msc545]

Well, as it turns out, you caught me, darn. I was hoping for a Valentine's Day gift, but there was nobody to give me one, so I did this instead. Sorry about that. LOL

[MicahRaine]

@msc545 here's a gift imgur.com/.../be-excellent-to-each-other-party-on-dudes-3t2npON

And you're good haha I was not judging at all

[msc545]

Very cool, thank you!

[MicahRaine]

@msc545 You got it 😎

[bobalife]

Omgosh, you both made my day!!! I can’t😂😂😂

I’m sorry @msc545, it looks like this season has come to an end… but here is your valentine treat for being our loyal fan to this season and our final episode here

@MicahRaine Yes, we can continue our conversation in the DMs away from the paparazzi and fans until next season for our show 😊😎😂

[msc545]

Thank you, bobalife. I feel better now.

[Anonymous]

Most men don’t even care about Valentine’s Day. This is more of a female thing commercialized by companies who play on women’s feelings to force the men to purchase items otherwise you’re looked at as a shitty boyfriend or husband. Most men would just rather not be bothered w it. But to give you an idea, dinner with sex is more than enough. Maybe even a gift card, it it’s not a big deal to men just like our birthdays.

[Still-alive]

I'm pretty easy. just get me a video game and im good lol

[bobalife]

Simple but genuine

[Still-alive]

but if you wanna be creative and make something i like that a lot too. shows you really put a lot of thought just for me ya know lol

[bobalife]

Funny you mentioned this because typically when I’m in a relationship, I always do this for my person.

[Still-alive]

thats sweet. yeah it could be cooking something, sewing, maybe a drawing or some poetry, whatever, im not picky.

[DarKnight36]

I would buy a nice watch from a famous brand and also perfume

[bobalife]

My question is more for the men, what would you like for valentines from your lady? :)

[DarKnight36]

Just having her herself would be enough for me. 🙏🏻

[bobalife]

How sweet!

[DarKnight36]

Thank you darling 🌹🙏🏻

[Anonymous]

a view of you in some valentines day themed lingerie would be great as a gift

[bobalife]

Oh my, of me? 🫢 blushing over here

[Opinion Owner]

yeah. who wouldn't wanna see that?

[bobalife]

You are very bold sir. Do I have a secret valentine admirer or do I know you, misteruh anonymous?

[Opinion Owner]

i don't think you know me. I was just saying what we were all thinking. 😏

[bobalife]

Oh wow, I didn’t realize I accidentally pulled the entire internet 🤭🙈

[Opinion Owner]

i got something you can pull. 😈 oops. i mean, uh, yeah probably

[msc545]

Peace and silence. Nothing I can do would ever be good enough.

[bobalife]

😮

You are enough.

And my question was not about you doing anything, but more about what would you like for valentines lol.

[msc545]

I don't think asking for peace and quiet and frankly also asking to be left the hell alone for a day is asking too much. I know this wasn't the intent of your question, but I also assume that you wanted honest answers. I don't think you know what it's like to be a man on Valentine's Day. Nothing we do is ever enough and never will be and we pay for that dearly.

[bobalife]

As a woman, we can also feel like we aren’t enough too. Maybe you just need to meet the right women and reframe your thinking sir. That kind of mindset is only going to cause more detrimental on you. Wish you well.

[msc545]

Thank you. What I really need to do is stay away from women other than professionals. At least when you pay them. They are decent to you and don't try to manipulate and trash and steal from you. They just have sex with you which is is really all that is needed anymore.

[jamesgoldman]

Depends on the budget

[shortster]

Cookies

[bobalife]

Hahaha I bake cookies 🍪

[Mike_Hum]

a blowjob with thumb in.
