I'm Not Into Valentines Day ....

[Versatile]

This is what a 24 year old woman said on the radio this morning. It has been relationship week all week and the panel, 4 men & 4 women, where talking about relationships and V-Day. All where single and said they spent V-Day without a s/o. The single men said they did so because V-Day is a day for women and if he had did that for one women, she'd be feeling special and start to go around telling every her "boyfriend did this for her. He said he was "no ones" boyfriend. When asked why, the 24 yr old responded with I'm not into V-Day. When asked to explain she said, "I'm the kind of woman that wants attention from my man when no one else is getting it. So I would want him to come to me the day before or the day after so I would feel special. If I get when everone else is getting, I not feeling special." When asked what she did on V-Day she reponds, "I spent a quiet and romantic evening with my 3 yr old son. We had candlelight dinner and I made him some fishsticks. WTH?!? The phone lines went off the hook after that. The entire panel then turned on her girl, can you draw a conclusion why?

Versatile,
Before I can even comment i need to know one thing. Does this particular woman even have a man?

She said she did.

with her. So your man buys you flowers on Valentine's Day...what has he done for you other days of the year? Its no big deal for me to recieve on valentines day...not as big as if you just brought me a dozen of roses just because.

Since she does have a man and I'm assuming their relationship is good, then not spending Valentine's Day together shouldn't be a big deal. You should be appreciated and loved everyday, not just on February 14th.

I do think it was really sweet that she made it a special occasion for her and her son.

I think that if that were everyone's way of thinking then there would be no need for holidays at all.

Why have Mother's Day you should love your mother everyday.
Why have Father's Day...same principle.
Thanksgiving...you should always be thankful.
Christmas...Give gifts all the time or anytime.


I could go on but I won't. lol :p My thing is special days are set aside to celebrate special things...that's why it's called a holiday. Of course these things should be observed everyday but people get caught up in everyday life, and sometimes need a reminder or a break from it all.

What I also find funny is that if that same woman's company CEO came out today and announced that he was observing Annual Doody Day and everyone could go home...she would not say "Oh I don't want to go when everyone else is, I don't feel special...I'll stay." LOL
