Firstly, let no one labour under the gross misapprehension that this piece is about a
lovely and soppy, romantic day of the year. It is in fact, much more like any other day of the year,
except there is no way your significant other could forget it due to the mass commercialism reminding
you that day is near approacheth. He'd be an absolute moron if he were to even forget it and come up
with some flimsy excuse as to why he would forget this "special" day. I would accept nothing short of the
reasoning, he is a moron and is as thick as two bricks.
Let me go on the record to say that I have refused to celebrate Valentine's day as it means nothing to me,
as well as the fact that none of my exes have even bothered to remember it anyway so there gave me a double
reason to avoid being wined and dined in a triple-price inflated atmosphere.
Well, the origins of this day was not as romantic as it sounds.
In short, some saint Valentine dude back in the Roman days aided romance within the township by
putting girls names in a box/urn and the guy who went and drew the name out was stuck with his
sad pick to fate for being stuck with an ugly whore for a whole torturous day.... Anyway, Valentine helped
arrange marriages as well when some evil roman emperor (not Enrique Iglesias) wanted a conscription and
banned weddings because the men didnt want to go and wanted to stay at home for a good bonking session
with the missus. Anyway, when the evil emperor found out, he threw Valentine into prison and lobbed off
his head not soon after that. Hence Valentines day is proclaimed on the day he died. Hardly romantic. Gory more like.
So why dont we all just pour our romantic sop on the ground and stamp on Valentine's grave? It is hardly
a romantic beginning to Feb 14, but in this day and age and commericalism is at its most rife, do we care?
And isnt match fixing (not cricket) outdated?
I would be doing all you men a favour out there to call it to be forgotten like the passage of time.
After all, this is the day that most women wrangle a proposal out of you as well as for you to do something
unnatural. Men are generally not romantic by nature. We are trying to mold them into the metro s&xual stereotype
which they are not born into. If I were to be at arms against the abolishment of such a day, it is to save you
ladies grief. Why would you be fooled into thinking that men can come up with romantic ways to wine and dine you?
The truth is, they can't, and we forget that everyone else is doing the same thing.
All I want from a man (personally) is that he would take me out once in awhile (as I would do the same) and
actually NOT get me to pay all the time. Maybe see him 2-3 times a week maximum and that's about it. That's
not difficult is it? And furthermore, that can be done ANY OTHER time of the year!!! I'd be lucky if he
remembered my birthday ...
Don't waste my time if you are too pathetic to remember
any significant dates ....
