As the old saying of the jungle goes: Women are like Macs - you have to invest like hell, you can never really figure it out and if there are problems, you don't have the foggiest of what's wrong.

I pity you.

I made my baby cookies, bought her a journal and chocolate, and went to visit her for the weekend in Ft. Collins, which is 100 miles away from where I live in Denver. We had so much fun, and I think we've made a breakthrough in our relationship  :D I love my baby

Relationships aren't a game. Some people can't quite wrap their minds around that.

Either you love your "partner" (and continiusly offer candys to her/him) or you don't. Days like "Valentine's" slowly kill the romance the way you explained  :yes:

Umm, not really. I buy my girlfriend candy all the time, but as Mobius said it can be a day when you think up something special to get the person you care about. If you just buy stuff for someone on Valentines Day, you are a idiot.

Ya really. Valentines is a day to celebrate the person you're with, that by no means should be taken to mean it's the ONLY day. I like the idea of Valentines day, I don't understand how people don't, unless they're unhappy in whatever relationship / lack there-of they're in.

Well everywhere there are people like that. The people who slowly become desensitized to it and never find real satisfaction anymore in it.

Agreed. And i should write "candies" instead off candies. What i mean is that stereotypes like V - day tend to create obligations where there should be only pure sentiments, that's why i despise them.

The element of surprise is lost on such days, I think.

I purposely don't buy my wife flowers on Valentines day, though she loves them, because I will buy them randomly throughout the year. That way they are always  a welcome surprise and not contrived! I buy her the obligatory card though, even if she forget's to get me one. I don't mind, I love her and know she loves me!  ;)

The gooey romancey part of it doesn't bother me so much. What pisses me off is the way I'm supposed to act. Eurgh.

Well I hate those chicks that act weird/crazy/childish around Valentine's Day. As my friend quite nicely put it
