why do girlfriends expect shit on Valentines Day?

Because the point of Valentine's Day is to tell people that you love them. I mean, it doesn't have to be huge but just a little reminder...and besides their birthday and Christmas...when else do they expect a present?

Because all females have evolved from an ancient, now extinct creature called the succubus. And this:

Haha you should reconsider your girlfiend if the thought of spending "all day" with them horrifies you. ;) Although I do agree with you. Why bother making an "extra special" effort one day a year when you should be doing it every day of the year really.

"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?

And by it, I mean her.

"

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."

Ever noticed they way women demand equality in almost every aspect of life yet still expect the man to pay for the dates, know how to fix their car, etc?"

I know its pretty stupid. But if you are in the situation where you have a wife or GF you pretty much have to do it.

get her some lingerie. its a win-win

@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.

I couldn't resist Will."

If V-Day wasn't bad enough, the card companies invented "Sweetest Day." If they thought it would work, there'd be a "Give your deaf Romanian aunt with Tourette's syndrome an expensive card and candy day"

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."

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.""

yes because we live in a perfect world right?

@bog i thought the rules of the sight was not to be a dick, so why you being a dick?

I'm honestly very surprised to see you saying that. The perfect world bit.

Since when did people start looking at relationships as a burden? Obviously if your relationship is hell to you, you should get out of it and find someone who is better suited for you. But the notion that a great relationship with love everyday only belongs in perfect world is crazy.

Now that's not saying that I don't buy my girlfriend things on V-Day, I do, more out of tradition, and because she expects it, and I'm more than happy to give her a gift and take her out to an especially nice restaurant. That doesn't mean I have to agree with the "holiday', mostly because it's such a materialistic holiday as I said before and that really bothers me. When you think of the word holiday you should think of having fun and enjoying some quality time with people you care about, not "what the hell am I going to buy for my girlfriend."

Btw, those people who only buy shit for their girlfriends just to get something sexual out of it, you guys are morons. If you want to pay for sex, then go see a prostitute, if you want to pay for seeing her boobs, go to a strip club."

I always thought that you are a bit retarded but dude...

I'm not getting my girlfriend anything for valentine's day but we're going to go out of the city for the day and go for a walk in the countryside. It's nice to spend time together on that day and maybe do something you wouldn't normally do, you don't have to buy things.

P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.S

And it suprises me idealistic people like you somehow survive.

First off i have no relationship i swore off women long ago when the last one cheated on me like all the others.
But heres the deal Relationships that have 0 problems? never last never have never will.  Humanity need strife, they need violence, they need some dark impulse to go on if every thing was happy and cheery we wouldn't survive.

Perfection=not existance for if something is perfect it has no reason to exist beyond just existing and nothing that exists just exists because it exists, A relationship without some sort of problem is an empty relationship, Good cannot survive without evil and evil cannot survive without good, Existance/life is all about the struggle its not about the end result.

P.S: you should really stop acting holier then thou like you've never done any thing like buy something for someone or do something just because of the end result that you would get something in return, you aren't perfect and your far from good.

P.P.S:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentines_day
Like most holidays V day is made up and really in it end it has no other meaning except giving someone something because you hope they will love you.

P.P.P.S: why are you suprised to see ME saying that? you don't know me let alone know who i am or my physical attachments or mental or leanings towards love...ect so its no real suprise. Valentines day is far from pure, and infact the way humans are made makes it so there is no such thing as pure true love deep down your basic instincts are making you on a higher thought process give gifts in the hopes of love which on its basic level is the hopes of procreation.
"

Can I clear some things up for you?
1) Girls are (typically) in constant competition with other girls. So when you give her a gift, it's like a +1 for her.
2) Some girls are just really romantic and think it's an everlasting symbol of your undying love, so forgetting a gift is like a slap in the face.
3) Diamonds are a girl's best friend.

I'm just going to ignore everything you said, because you obviously didn't read what I wrote, and if you did, you didn't understand it."

Whatever you have to tell yourself to go to sleep at night guy.

Well like most men we feel that if we pay a decent price on a gift, we feel we could override their sense of disgust enough that we might at least get to cop a feel.

Although my Valentines are usually spent by myself in front of a monitor with a trusty bottle of lotion, I realize that I am pathetic.

I know. Why can't my hand shut up about it? Just blah blah blah take me out take me out take me out blah blah blah.

Because that's the point of Valentine's Day?...

That's like saying "WHY DO THOSE STUPID KIDS EXPECT PRESENTS ON CHRISTMAS?!"

God, how did I miss this before . . .

"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."

A relationship without some sort of problem is an empty relationship

You answered your own question.  They expect something because they know we expect something, some serious fucking.

"Valentines day is stupid, I'm always romantic and very much in love with my girlfriend and both of us don't wait for a special day to show it we just always do and have for an extremely long time.

You know something that is relatively cheap and always works? (because you appear to be a cheap fuck) How about you give them a dick in a box. They obviously don't want that diamond ring or new car! It is from your heart and not your wallet, so it is better.

Tell that bitch to suck it or fuck it.

Works for me."

I'll be surprised if you guys get anything with that attitude...

it's a day for girls, I already spent over $100 on my girlfriend, they expect you to get them something and treat them like a princess that day (and every day) because they are humans and want respect

"they expect you to get them something and treat them like a princess that day..."

"...because they are humans and want respect"

I know, I hate that too. You could always do what I do and break up with your girlfriend on the day before Valentine's day and then try to get back together on the day after. It works like a charm.

Never had a girlfriend so I don't know why they want stuff on valentine's day. I think the most you should do instead of buying girlfriend a gift is to maybe spend the entire day with them instead

"Never had a girlfriend so I don't know why they want stuff on valentine's day. I think the most you should do instead of buying girlfriend a gift is to maybe spend the entire day with them instead"

I lost my virginity on Valentines day.

Valentines day will always be bittersweet to me.

it christmas for relationships

I dont do anything for my wife on Valentine's Day....and we have gotten to the point where we do birthday and christmas gifts months in advance. After awhile you just start to realize that "special days" like that are pointless. If you want something buy it. This year she bought her November birthday present in July...and her Christmas gift in August...and didnt say anything when there wasnt more than a handful of small gifts under the tree on christmas morning."

it's totally a day for girls but they deserve it....I don't expect anything back from my girlfriend this Valentine's Day, and most guys shouldn't expect to get as much as they give on this day
