Nothing for Valentines Day

[Stoic1]

stoic... I very much believe that you could not pull this off.

"Don't fuck this up"

That's good man. That's your level.

Do your best to stay there

Most of the people here are disagreeing with you. Use that measurement to assist in decision making.

Your insults provide the context clues on how you approach life. Clearly you've brought your war room baggage with you. I'm sure she has the patience of a saint to put up with such an insufferable cunt like you who cannot express their appreciation of love outside of sex.

Good luck on the 14th!

 

[jeff7b9]

Way too wrapped in............you.

Dude, if you honestly believe she is cool with.......fuck you you don't get shit......yep, have no clue how to treat a woman.

So she's at work, her co-worker Stan.....do you think she'll like this.....as she thinks...my man doesn't get me anything

What are you 16?

Do this....get her a nice card, buy her something nice and tell her....happy Valentines day sweetheart, I love yiu........and watch what happens.

I can understand how a lot of people with a more basic boring and predictable view of life would see things this way.

This is probably not for you.

You cant wrap your brain around it.
Roger that

I don't need luck stoic

 

[Satur9]

Yeah. All good. I ain't mad at ya.


Also- I was quite a long ways down the road before I started this. I bought all the sucker gifts plenty of times.

This is probably not a great "year one" move.

More like -
if she was gonna leave she'd have left already.

You should probably already know you could get away with murder

lol I get ya. Definitely not a first or second year tactic.

There is room for a healthy middle ground. I would still get my lady a valentines gift, but that’s also depending on how they are too. Too many people just let themselves get steamrolled because they believe they should treat them a certain way. That’s cool so long as they are doing what they “should” do as well. Unfortunately, these days, many don’t think they should do anything, and that won’t work for me. Ask a lady under 40 to cook anything. Good luck.

Hoping it all keeps working out for ya!

 

[jeff7b9]

It's funny to me.. yeah, obviously I enjoy kicking a hornets nest now and again

But I didn't go into this one expecting all the hurt feelings to pop out.

I clearly struck a nerve with a few of you.

If your marriage is held together by overpriced flowers and choclate... that's cool. I guess. It's sounds awful to me, but you do you

Y'all the suckers keeping Hallmark in the black so you can overspend and keep your fingers crossed that your once a year hail Mary gesture keeps the train on the tracks. Dumb bastards like you make the world go around.

And I am not shocked that those same dudes getting butthurt are the ones that can't wrap their brain around the concept.

This is actually a good measuring stick for your marriage. Think about it.
If your marriage is not strong enough to skip Valentines day... why not?

This one specific day you get a reminder on your phone and you tell your old lady she is pretty...?
What the fuck are you doing the rest of the year?


I try to help you boring predictable once a year on schedule boring assholes and you attack me.

Step up your game. And do it from the heart without being prompted like some toddler whose mom has go remind him to say thank you.

Valentine Day comes once a year if you can't bring yourself to use this occasion to show the love , why?

Fuck the other 364 days they mean shit, this is that day you show her how much you care, she will love you for it.

Any guy thinking she doesn't care knows shit about women, all her friends her sisters are involved with ....I love you with cards and gifts......not her because she's married to a dead head know nothing.

All my sisers (three) are big into the day, if one of them was with a guy who......Valentines Day bah humbug.....they'd dump his dead ass,

 

[Long Dark Blues]

I cook a succulent meal.

She does not know her Judo well.

 

[Kassitus]

Meh. 10 $ card, 8 dollar flowers, and dinner at a restaurant that we might have gone to any time of the year. If your girl finds something meaningful and it costs you $18 a year just spend the money lol.

 

[Law Talkin’ Guy]

I’m not even seeing my wife at all this Valentine’s Day, my son and I have a camping trip that weekend with his Cub Scout troop.

 

[Natural Order]

It’s the Scientology of holidays. We all know it’s fake and who created it, but for some reason, it keeps getting a pass. Oh, right. Money…

And don't forget the biggest catalyst of it all....women love theatre.

 

[Natural Order]

Jeff's not wrong. If you're truly in a meaningful relationship, you'll find ways regularly to show her what she means to you. All throughout the year. I still get my wife a card and flowers and cook a nice dinner, but it's not some extravagant affair that comes but once a year, and it certainly isn't some mythical date each year our relationship depends on.

If you can only be bothered to do this on a day instructed to you by corporate America, and then virtue signal to other men about it (lol), I don't know what to tell you. Looking at you @Sir Elzio Dennick.

Wrong about LeBron, wrong about women. Bad day at the office Gramps. Go check your pillbox and take a nap.

 

[Sturm]

I buy my wife flowers year round. Also I'm not poor so I'll pay the extra 30$ on vday.

 

[Kardashians]

i was never into valentines day.

but just so the sherbros know, if you got a younger gal, these cow stuffies at walmart are all the rage rn.

(not THAT young, before anybody says it)

 

[cmw43]

Inability to conceptualize a perspective differing from your own does not paint you in an intelligent light sir


but

it does tell me quite a lot about you.


go spend money to make up for whatever it is your marriage lacks the other 364 days a year.

This is not for everyone.





thats not what i said dummy.

words have meaning.

If you are predictable and boring which I get the feeling is the case... get your credit card out and pay




(Had to wait 4 whole sentences to read the part where I said have a great relationship all year long... guess I overshot your attention span)

You can treat her on Valentine's day without spending a lot of money, e.g. cook her a nice candlelit dinner at home with some food wine.

What does Valentines have to do with that?


It is a prompt.
It takes all of the thoughtfulness and spontaneity out of the equation.

 

[aerius]

There's no Valentines day in the cultures my wife & I are from so we don't give AF about it or do anything different that day. Other than our kids' birthdays and Christmas, every day is just another day.

 

[TheNinja]

I'll just buy a card and sign my name on it, preferrably with my first and last name to make it a bit more formal. Takes like 5 minutes and $7. It's just enough to show I remember the day and remember her but not too much where I set future expectations too high. It is the way of TheNinja.

I can respect the low expectations...

You could probably pull this off sir.

 

[Sir Elzio Dennick]

There is a Mexican restaurant in Oildale (45 min drive) she loves. My plans are to take her there then head into Bakersfield to hit the thrift shops/ junk stores something she loes to do. On the way home stop in a little bar back in Oildale, have a couple drinks then head home all the while.......flirting around.

Once home it's cards/gifts time, then some movie a few more drinks, after the movie............................

Life is good

Lucky duck.

Anything sort of an equivalent in your culture?
