It's already over commercialized and ridiculous. But has anyone else noticed that there are people "celebrating" it that shouldn't be?

I'm not anti Valentine's, but I was pretty disgusted with the amount of fake "relationships" celebrating or unsavory types who actually had "valentines."

It just seemed to dilute the idea of what Valentine's is really about... and it's rather depressing since it seems like people don't take dating and love seriously anymore. It's just become therapy and social status.

Yes, same here DG!

I am very very careful of what kind of friends I let into my life. Lot of people are egocentric and toxic.

I have learned to spot it from a mile and nip it in the bud. Lot of people have no idea that love is found inside and has nothing to do with outside show of flowers and candy and other glitz of this fake world.

Just like you rocky, I am sick of this travesty.



I feel ya girl!

Well I mean, like I didn't really do much because I'm single and.. whatever, you know?

But then I hear someone talking about what some guy got her, and then was asked WHICH guy. She tends to have a flavor of the week and sleeps around a bit much. WHY is she getting shit for Valentine's?

There's a couple of people I know in relationships that... just aren't really relationships. THEY'RE talking about their Vday and bragging about flowers, what they got, etc. Some of these people are pretty shitty individuals and don't frankly deserve any sort of attention like this to begin with, so it leaves me kinda wtf, haha.

It's a sad day when someone with the nickname "blue waffle" gets flowers for Valentine's Day, you know?

I guess I just picture the use of anything Vday related is about love and whatnot. Skanky hoes who have shitty track records are getting attention on this day? Dafuq? It's like giving Jerry Springer an Oscar. :/

I'm confused. How can you tell who should be celebrating valentines day and who shouldn't? It's a cute little holiday with cute little hearts and things and people should celebrate if they want to. While I understand your point somewhat another part of me says this post sounds bitter and judgemental like it irks you to see people having a little light fun, kissing hugging etc and just enjoying each others company. And if the couple loves each other on valentines day and screams at each other the next day, well that's their business. The holiday doesn't have to be "deep" and there is no one interpretation of love, everyone expresses it differently.

WHOOOSH.

That's you missing the point.

Thanks for playing. :/

All I'm saying is that skanky hoes, fuck buddies, and "options" shouldn't be celebrating as they aren't really celebrating "love," because that's what the day is about. Their little situations are far from love and romance. It cheapens an already cheap holiday, if that's possible.

I think it's a good example of where so many people stand in what relationships and dating REALLY are. I know I'm not the only one who's noticed, either.

Something else a friend and I noticed is that you saw these lovely individuals flaunting all their crap they got via social media, but REAL couples, the tried and true ones, weren't bothering. It was an interesting trend to see. I think it kinda says something. I mean, I get the excitement of wanting to share, but the real couples weren't really making a big deal about it. Only the pseudo/not really relationship ones were. :/

My feelings used to be conflicted about this but now I have it sorted. While I agree with you I also feel it's not my right to decide what people should or shouldn't do so those negative feelings go away pretty quickly. If I felt that strongly about a day that is meant to be special I'd be putting out the effort to make it so rather to feel down about how insulting it's become.

There's an interesting title I encountered a while ago that said, "Always Sometimes Monsters". It refers to the choices we make in our lives represented as echoes and how they touch everyone around us, sometimes effectively inspiring them for better or worse.

Even now while the day seems to have rotted away to many the choice to make it special again is always there.
