I'm not sure what all of this talk about bad experiences are. A guy does not need to have a bad experience to use logic. Valentines day should indeed be boycotted and reserved strictly for simps only.
Guy on gags : I don't like the color pink
Girl on gag: Incel! misogynist!
I don't think so! Seems like you've had bad experiences normally it's the day for both women and men and couples are showing their loves to each other's I would like to buy something special to my boyfriend it has always been a meaningful and exciting day for me
Fair enough in your case its not just about getting free stuff but goes both ways
@Cocacolaaddict Yess exactly!!
I say if you complain about Valentine's day, whatever gender you are, you're a little bitch/whatever-the-female-equivalent-is.
It's just a day. The fact that the earth is at a certain position around the sun doesn't make you obligated to treat anyone differently than you normally would.
Yes.
The young Men I know dump their girl friends around their...
Birthdays
Valentines Day
Christmas.
They refuse to buy gifts for them.
As a side note, MORE young women are reporting that they have never had a Boyfriend.
Singles Awareness Day is quickly approaching!
Umm? Isn't it supposed to be about both partners? 😅 at least thats the case for the couples I know...
Yes, it's supposed to be. But it usually isn't.
Nah fam get better valentines i always get my valentines something as well, i treat my valentines because valentines is a day for love and to spread that shit lol.
I don't know where you got that notion from
Where I Iive, all the card shops sell Valentine's cards and gifts with the words "husband" and "boyfriend"written on them. Not just "wife" and "girlfriend "
The women I work with buy cards and gifts for their partners.
I have that out where I live as well.
@Historylover18
It's obviously the type of people that live in your area. Consider moving
That's not true, I personally don't care about valentines day. You should treat your partner with a lot of love and respect on every day of the year!
For me, men who treat their girlfriend differently on that day are just too lazy to worry about her on every other day of the year. Like valentines day is their excuss for not being romantic over the rest of the year
who said that Valentine's day isn't reciprocal? nobody forces a man to spend 340 bucks.
it's the same invalid argument that women use to claim there's "girl-tax" on sanitary and beauty products. turth is well if you're willing to spend money, then don't be mad if there's a more expensive supply for your demands.
if you're willing to spend more on a valentines date, that's your choice, not hers.
We all should boycot these useless holidays set up to extract everyone's pay cheque. Before one holiday is over the stores have shit out for the next. Got my girl Christmas present her birthday is jan 1 got something for that month later gotta get something for vday then anniversary if you love someone you should do thing because you want to spontaneously not cause u have to doesn't mean anything
I dont know who hurt you, but I take Valentine's day as an opportunity to spoil my guy, as he won't let me the rest of the year.
You must be a loving woman for your husband. Any man is lucky to have you!
He totally deserves it though! He puts up with a lot and constantly goes out of his way to do things for me
"women expect to be treated a certain way by their man simply because they are women. It's a very one sided day"
Exactly but not only this day, all the time ! You will notice eveytimes someones asks those kind of questions he will be easily stigmatize with bad names. In fact women always been the most privilegied gender and men always has to do the most dangerous jobs.
Of course the classic sneaky way to hide that fact is to talk about the exceptions but if we focus on the global stats it was and will always be like that
Where were you in the past, when men were priviliged?
Im a woman and am boycotting valentines day like the trash and money all wasted
Totally right but TV and media force weak minds to fallow.
Valentine's day should be at least once a week or month.
valentines day should be about going for walks with your loved ones not spending 150$ on them
Totally agree
I am sorry you have gone through some bad stuff, but Valentine's Day is not all about women. I would give male friends stuff for that day. It isn't a huge deal to me. Just another day to be sweet. I hope things change for you.
Nope, I haven't been through any bad stuff. I've had pretty good luck with women actually, and my wife is great. But it doesn't change the fact that most women see Valentines day as a day for men to celebrate their women, and the reverse is just far less prevalent. One doesn't have to have had bad experiences to know that. They just have to pay attention.
Not so much boycott the day and certainly not because of favorability towards a gender. I would sooner protest the mass consumerism in the modern day Valentine's Day. You don't need to buy a frick ton of crap to spend time with someone for a few hours. You don't even need a specific day for it. It just makes people more shallow and materialistic
men want Valentines Day so they can drug their women to give them sex and sex and sex ! boys like this do not have what it takes to get a woman in the first place for they have nothing but a small P. that the male has to use a magnifying glass just to find it with , ha , ha ! thanks
You are just a weird person. Everything you post here makes people cringe.
😆..
Well I think it's good that it's all about women, there are lots of relationships where the man isn't as loving as he should be, at least give one day to show how much he really loves his partner
Last year I bought my husband pink tulips and a Valentine day card, he didn't get me anything... who cares. It's a day to express your love, not your anger.
Good on you, bad on him. Very atypical though.
Women get Valentine's Day, men get Super Bowl Sunday. What's the big deal?
The two people who downvoted me will be alone for both
Yeah, and it makes sense because men and women generally enjoy different things, so the holidays don't need to be the same. There are exceptions, but society doesn't exist to account for all exceptions ever.
You mean the four people who down-voted you. I'm one of them and I'm certainly not going to be alone on either day. My wife enjoys the superbowl at least as much as I do.
So let's get this straight... you think men should treat women great on Valentine's day and then men should get to watch the superbowl. Sound right?
Yeah, you're exactly what I was talking about.
@BlueAnon I'm sure I'm the problem 🙄 It was a joke. Valentine's Day isn't for "women" anymore that the Super Bowl is for men. But I'm sure "My Wife" would appreciate if you did something nice for her regardless of how much money you spend. I'm sure "My Wife" would appreciate the effort. Most couples do stuff for EACH OTHER on Valentine's Day, as love is unisex
@BlueAnon sorry buddy, didn't mean to tag you lmao
Yes, love is unisex, Valentines day is not.
You are so right! I have always called it"men's extortion day" or "wife/girlfriend day" If a guy doesn't go all out for it, he's an asshole jerk. But I'm 64, and have never received ANY kind of gift for Blackmail Day from a woman.
