why do girlfriends expect shit on Valentines Day?

ok honestly. Why is it that girlfriends, wives ect expect shit on valentines day. I already spend a shit load on my girlfriend. But really Valentines day sucks. Its not the money aspect, you just have to be all with them all day and stuff. I mean until night approaches, then valentines day dosn't suck anymore.

Because it's a "holiday" (loosely used because it isn't really), and girls like to be romantic and expect you to at least have a heart. So far, you're following all the typical stereotypes of a man.

Come on dude, do you really expect us to believe you have a girlfriend?  This one's about as believable as the "suspended two days for asking for a pen" topic.

They expect things because they: a) have boobs, and b) know we want the boobs. 

 It's a day where you are supposed to be romantic, it might hurt your wallet, but it should be worth it.

Personally, I hate valentines, it's over commercialized and doing "romantic" things on a day that is set out to do "romantic" things pretty much defeats the point of romance. Proving that these "girlfriends" you speak of are stupid.

Because cash is tantamount to love which goes a long way in explaining why marriage is considered a way to show 'true' love.

Because stores put it in our heads that we have to. They made it materialistic so they could sell more crap, same thing with Christmas. When you ask the average person what they think about when they think of Christmas, they'll usually say presents, and kids will usually say Santa. It's just how it works.

Slightly cynical, but it's true.

I've never seen a problem with it. Obviously, if you don't care enough to want to get her something, save yourself the trouble by dumping her.

Society has been pussywhipped to the point where Valentine's Day is an obligation more than a celebration.

I don't know, but it really annoys me, becuase I have to give stuff to her, but never get any in return...

Why do women in labor expect an epadoral?
lol thats about the jist of idioicy that questin put forth, its a holiday a holiday about romance and love between 2 people....thats all the answer you need.

Well, I expect the woman to treat me on Valentine's day. After all, they got their independence. They can pay for MY dinner and take ME to a movie.

Homone imbalance, maybe, but it's one you'll have to put up with if you still want sex.

In a way it makes all women vague whores, but hey.

I like what Jim Carrey's character has to say about it in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. "[Valentine's Day] is a holiday invented by greeting card companies to make people feel like crap."

However, dude... why wouldn't they expect stuff? I see nothing wrong with giving gifts on Valentine's Day.

Maybe I don't know, because I've never had a "girlfriend", but isn't spending time with someone like that supposed to be enjoyable? If not, why are you doing it?

I imagine it's one of those things brought on by the whole Sex And The City style modern woman culture where the lady in the situation makes unreasonable demands, believing that to be the norm, while the guy feels he has to overextend to meet these unreasonable demands or the lady will leave and find someone who can, believing there's people out there who are actually like Mr. Big."

I believe it, but I also believe this topic was created solely to let everyone else know."

The correct retort to your statement would be: "If you are truly in love, then you wouldn't need a holiday to tell you that you are in love, or remind you for that matter.""

We like to receive gifts on Valentines Day because we compete with each other and show off  'said' gifts to show that we have everything and they have nothing.

"Yes because we live in a perfect world right?

@BoG- I thought the rules of the site included "don't be a dick", so why are you being a dick?

P.S: That would be punctuation, not spelling.

If you don't like spending time with your girlfriend, then something is wrong.

Why do stores expect customers to buy crap on Valentine's Day? Why do people expect rings when they are proposed to? It's traditional and it keeps going, that's the sole reason.

I think there is that aspect of Valentine's day that is a complete sham - that being the overpricing of roses and special super-expensive menus for the evening. So long as that's avoided, nothing wrong with making a sweet gesture. Doesn't have to be a present, could be something you do... could just be an awesome card you make.

But then it depends, some girls expect a reservation for 9:30 at that French restaurant you only pretended to like the first time.

its not that i don't like spending time with her or anything. It's just that i don't get for one day everything revolves around her. I love her and don't mind it. I just dont see the importance of having one day dedicated to all this shit"

"Come on dude, do you really expect us to believe you have a girlfriend?  This one's about as believable as the "suspended two days for asking for a pen" topic."

It staggers me that this topic is still at the top of the forum list.

"I don't know, but it really annoys me, becuase I have to give stuff to her, but never get any in return..."

Because they deserve it for ___ your ____.

Beat me to it. And the fact that you said it (considering you've probably read the majority of this kids post) only makes my thinking more credible.

This kid lies...and lies....and lies.

Its like Portal all over again."

dump them the day before and go out with another chick after valentines.

I dunno... unless youre really cheap buy her some roses, whats the big deal?

Uhh because they like their relationships to have some sort of affection and remain a two sided relationship. But this isn't to justify the commercialized and hallowed out nature of modern Valentine's day, but come on can we be a little kinder to our 'partners.' You never know, you might be rewarded.

Eh. If I actually love the person I was dating it wouldn't be a problem to me. I don't have a girl friend by the way...
