There should be a "Made in Korea" day for us guys where women go out and buy electronic devices for us
Can I get a Wo....men?
OOooooOOOo i like that idea. I could use a New Mobo and CPU.
Valentines day sucks. it serves no point. juat another way to make you spend your money for no reason. If you have a SO you dont need to buy them a gift to show that you love them. personally i dont but anything other then a few flowrd for VD cause its pointless and i tell people that
Yeah, while they're busy ignoring the "inane" things she says...
This forum is made up predominately of young people and to hear young people so jaded and so cynical about love and about women in general breaks my heart.. I try whenever possible to give a woman's POV in a light hearted manner but sometimes..men just need to get thumped in the head before they get it!
It doesn't need to be expensive,in fact it doesn't need to cost a
damn thing other than a bit of your time and some of your leet skills to show somebody you love them!
Some of the best and most romantic gifts I've ever gotten probably didn't cost more than $5..I give up on you guys!
I'm not jaded or cynical about love at all. However, I do detest Valentine's day. I don't agree that how we feel about Vday in any way connects to how we feel about love in general. I'm a very loving person, and when I have a girlfriend, I write letters, buy flowers, little gifts, give backrubs, at random times to express affection to the person i'm with.
What i detest about Vday is being told to express my love on cue. I also hate the comparative nature of it because girls find it necessary to tell each other what their SO did for them on Vday. I know you'll probably say you don't compare, but there will be plenty of girls bragging about what their man did for them. Even if you don't talk with them, you'll still know in your mind that someone else got a cruise while you got a potted plant. In truth, you can't determine how much someone loves you by what they did for you on a specific day.
What ends up happening is that although I express love in special ways throughout the year, I'm still FORCED to make a big deal about this day in order to make my gf happy. Even if I talk to her and tell her how I hate being told when to celebrate and she agrees with me and knows that i express love often, i'm still almost forced to. Why? Because I know that she'll still be sad if we don't do something special even though she might not be mad at me, and I know that if I do something special she'll be extremely happy. Doesn't seem like a choice to me (if you really care about someone).
What I don't think girls get is the amount of pressure that guys feel under on this day. Especially if they're low on money which is common. Guys worry about if they can get something good enough. Where to get it from, what day to get it on. Creativity is discouraged because we know that flowers, candy, and jewelry will work while anything else might backfire. All of this, and you don't even prove you love someone. Because it's expected for you to give, all you prove is that you care enough to not leave them empty-handed.
And yes, I would like a day of the year where a female is obligated to do something special for me. Love is a two-way street, so why do the cars only go in one direction? People that are alone get shafted too because it seems like the whole world is celebrating something that you don't have and want.
