Valentine's day is pick up night at any bar, especially if you appreciate a nice cougar 😀

In Soviet Russia, cougar appreciates you.

Actually, they usually do. That particular age category is generally esctatic to have a man who still has hair to pull. 😛

You have to actually had sexual intercourse with a real woman in order to be sick of Valentine's Day.

As I said about, oh, two years ago:

You will never, never, EVER get laid.

I believe the full quote was "You will never, never, EVER get laid. If you were an egg, you would spend eternity inside the chicken."

😀 Loved the quote.
 
Its a hallmark holiday. Just like sweetest day, which is even worse because its even more of a blatant creation.

Bonus points to anyone who can name the simpsons episode where marge celebrates a made up hallmark holiday, and double bonus points to anyone who can name that holiday.

Didn't remember what else happened in the episode before I searched, but I remembered Love Day.

Winnar!

It almost seems like this is how they came up with valentines day!

% Act one. In a skyscraper, a man in a business suit delivers the state
% of financial affairs for his company. Someone in the room coughs. His
% presentation is not very well-received, and he is promptly carted off by
% security at the nod of a cigar-smoking business leader, who closes the
% blinds and addresses his eight underlings.

Manager: Okay, people. We need to cook up a new holiday for the summer.
Something with, eh, gifts, cards, assorted gougeables.
Woman: How about something religious? We had great penetration last
spring with "Christmas II"!
Man: Ooh, I know, Spendover, like Passover but less talk, more presents!
-- Discussing the new holiday,

% The businesspeople around the table break into serious discussion, until
% the cigar-smoking man breaks them up. He decides the holiday needs to be
% something warm and fuzzy, like "Love Day," only not so lame. Cut to OFF
% in their TV room celebrating Love Day.
% Homer opens his gift on the coffee table. It's a talking toy bear with
% an annoyingly sweet mechanical voice, dressed in a knight's clothing.

Bear: I'm Sir Loves-A-Lot! The bear who loves to love.
Homer: They didn't have Lord Huggington?
Marge: It's the same basic bear, Homey.
Homer: [dejected] I guess.
-- It's not a happy Love Day this year.

I've also been unemployed most of that time too.

Its such a women's holiday. No man could care less, but he's got to go out and buy crap for his SO if he has one, and if he doesn't he is just reminded of the fact.

I think it is a manufacturers' or retailers' holiday. As if anyone would even know it exists if it wasn't for millions of $$$ spent on advertising making you feel guilty or inadequate if you don't get some sucky valentine's day gift for your partner.

Why does it have to come around every year?!!? To make those without significant others feel bad about themselves?

Only women feel bad on Valentine's day because they don't have a SO. Single guys just ignore it, or make fun of their friends who have to spend hundreds of dollars on girls that day.

you have at least 364 days of the year to feel fine about not having an SO... what's 1 day for the other people ?

Right hand? Some of us are lefties.

Yeah, I don't care much for it. As my friend said: "What does that mean, you like your lover more one day out of the year than any other?"

Some of us are also ambidexterous(sp?) 🙂
