"Men will spend $163 on their valentines; women, just $84. Some of the most popular gifts men plan to buy are flowers (58.2 percent), candy (45.0 percent) and jewelry (26.5 percent)."
This quote shows the traditional gayness I was talking about. Time to equal up ladies.
The GF despises Valentine's Day for this very reason (it's so commercial and isn't about love as much as obligatory purchasing of contrived products). For that alone she may be a keeper.
I wouldn't say that too loud, otherwise some you might be called a sexist by some feminist.
Thank god there are some woman out there who get it. She does sound like a keeper Carl.
Yeah, she really does hate it. The other day she literally said "The only good thing about Valentine's Day are the Necca Sweethearts candies", so I guess I'm out a total of $1.99 this year. I tried to counter with other things that are cool about it... like the fact that I could also purchase Transformers Valentine's at Target, but she wasn't having any of it.
That is why I try to make my own cards.... just to rub salt in the greeting card company's eyes.
V-Day used to make me sad.....not because I didn't get gifts, I could care less about that, but it just reminded me that I was alone. It's nice being able to share your life with someone and this day just kind of gives me a kick in the head that yes, once again I don't have that special someone. Now days it doesn't bother me anymore.....I have a HORRIBLE relationship track record, and I would much rather be alone than with some of the people I've dated in the past. Plus, I have a great group of other single female friends, and we spend this evening eating a wonderful meal, drinking good wine and making each other laugh. It will be a very fun evening and a reminder that even though I may be technically "alone" I have a great bunch of friends to share my life with and that is also very, very good. lovin jen's avatar. she's showin some firespecter love!
The cost of love?... Depends which street corner you head to I guess.
always wondered, do canadians come across the border to get some because they currently have a better exchange rate?
