Yeah this is the point I was making with the above. It is all about having an excuse to do these things. Imo, valentines day - like christmas - represents one of those excuses. And I'm happy for that.
Actually xmas is a bit different. Some families live far apart and have busy lives, and getting everybody together at one time would be difficult without some kind of festival to act as a focus. It's a chance to meet people who you can care deeply for, but for various reasons find it difficult to see regularly. Family is important.Pissy pants.

it really puzzles me the effort people go to to see their family at xmas, a time when nothing is open, transport routes run at half their normal operating rate yet a time when everyone else is over-using it during a weather period which is inhospitable at best.

i dont think anyones really having a go at you mowgli (and im glad the debate is light hearted), you can choose to do your romancing with your partner at any time of the year and its nice that you and the missus do something every sunday, but too much importance is focussed on this day.
You can, like I said, but it just so happens that today is the day a lot of people are doing it and I'm not petulant enough to purposely not buy flowers just because everyone else is. I like having an excuse to do something nice for her, valentines day is one of those excuses. If you people really can't see this and can only focus on the fact that it is a commercialised holiday then I feel for you. As it stands this is just a nice day where we both do something nice for each other and put just a tiny bit of extra effort into our relationship.
Keep fighting the system while I'm having freaky sex. I'm sure Rage Against the Machine and your girlfriend really appreciate it.
i think what grates the most is the idea that these things are forumlaic, you have one day where you HAVE to do something romantic, and the idea of that romance is a card, chocolate, flowers etc. i certainly dont subscribe to that being the idea of romance and im sure you and a great number of people on here dont either.
this wouldnt be so bad if i hadnt had a glut of people this year saying "so what are you doing for valentines for your gf?" and then feeling the wrath of disaproval when i say "nothing". its up to me and her when we choose to be romantic with each other, not mr hallmark.
and besides, anyone who has to jump through hoops in order to get sex obviously isnt doing it right

my point (blunt and ignorant as it is) is that if you need an excuse in the first place, theres something wrong.Chopsen wrote:

But I'm not saying you need an excuse, it is just nice (imo) to have another one. I think I don't have a problem with it because I don't work at the moment so am not exposed to the daily pressures and people asking me what I will be doing. My opinion will probably change when I start working full time.mowgli wrote:

relationships always take effort, all of the time, you're never going to foster a good relationship with anyone or anything unless you put the work in. the good news is that when you truly love someone or something, it doesnt feel like effort at all.

Registered 8 years agoNo matter what you guys think of today, a lot of girls think quite a lot of it. If you don't make some semblance of effort, they'll bitch about you to their friends, guaranteed.
We don't do presents, i am cooking dinner. Its not like i dont cook her dinner at other times, but gotta make sure that she has SOME story to tell her mates tomorrow without them all bitching about me

I gave my missus a card that I forgot to give her last year. Job done. I even get to watch the rugby. Wasn't allowed out drinking with my bro for the football though -

Well happy and won't keep bringing it up for the next ten years. But such girls do exist. One of my closest mates is one of them. Always "letting" her BF out... although to be honest, she's the one usually out drinking, while he works constantly.
