It's coming again guys. VALENTINE'S DAY!!!

Have to admit I hate this holiday. It MUST have been invented by the ladies to make men look bad. Just another way to prove men are clueless when it comes to their wants. Every year this is an issue for me so THIS year I am going to do better.

Any suggestions?

Buy roses NOW and freeze them.

you know how much they cost the week before valentines day.
the girl will think you spent a bunch of money on them.

(dont try it, | dont know if it actually works)

Just shoot me now and get it over with

**Thor** · #4 01-04-2008, 12:57 PM

I hate you now. You have ruined my January already.

Buy yourself the biggest gawdam big screen HDTV you can afford... then go purchase the most comfortable MAN-CHAIR recliner you can find... and finally... label the remote "Don't Touch Beeyotch!!"

Happy VD!!

I hate V-day. I never celebrate it...why get overpriced candy or giant gorillas?

I already got what I wanted for Xmas. Bass stuff and a DIAB. All set!

Chocolate + creativity = a happy female.
chocolate is their crack, give them chocolate in creative ways and you're good as gold.

Ugghh...I hate that SOB bastard of a day. I have a new girlfriend too whose birthday is just a couple of weeks before V-day. I'm thinking of explaining to her that I don't do V-day. Hopefully she is as cool as I think she is and she will alos not do it. We'll see...

Valerus · #12 01-04-2008, 01:23 PM

You are so-o faaarked.

iScott · #18 01-04-2008, 02:00 PM

Eh, I like Valentine's Day. But I'm a hopeless romantic. This'll be the 2nd year in a row that I won't have a sweetheart. I might have one. We'll see how the current one progresses. Looking forward to making her happy and in turn her making me happy. (If you know what I mean and I think you do.)

It's really very easy, fellas ...... after 26 years of marriage and no Valentines Day failures I feel qualified ....

First, and always most important, get a good, high quality card. Don't go pickin' up some POS card at your local gas station, go to a card store and get a Hallmark. Make sure the card has some wording that reflects your relationship with your girl/wife/whatever. For example, if you've had some trouble spots over the past year, get a card that talks about how the two of you, together, can overcome any hurdles, blah, blah, blah. She'll cry when she reads it, that's how you know it's a good card .....

Second, get her a silly gift. Something small, probably something cute, that shows you understand she has a playful, little girl quality about her (even if she's mean as a pitbull, get the cutsie gift anyhow). A good el-cheapo is one of those Ty Beanie Babies .... tell her to put it on the dashboard of her car, that way she'll always have a driving companion. She'll laugh, appreciate your deep understanding of her personality, and you might get lucky with her later ...

Third, cook her dinner. Even if the dinner is crappy, she'll appreciate your efforts. If you're the one who always cooks, take her someplace fun and different for dinner .... maybe get a sub sandwich and sit in the car looking at the ocean/mountains, or whatever else you have nearby. This shows that you don't feel like she needs to have lots of money spent on her just because it's a "special" day .... you'd rather be alone with her, just the two of you together ...

For the last thing, you do need to cough up some nickles on a gift for her. It doesn't need to be jewelry or something super expensive, but a gift with some real dollar value that would be specific to her. For example, my wife is a purse nut, so I could get her a purse that is way different than anything she would normally wear. It can't be a budget item, but it doesn't need to be a Coach. A cool deal is at local thrift stores .... get a "vintage" purse in really good shape that was probably big bucks when it was new. Her friends will all think it's cool (trust me, they will) and she'll be able to say "my husband/boyfriend/whatever found this for me". Makes it look like you put a lot of time and effort into finding this unusual item. Just substitute "purse" for whatever your SO is into.

Of course, flowers are always good, but way overdone. I'm super lucky that my wife really likes daiseys, so I can avoid the roses altogether ....

Let us know how your idea works out.

If it goes well I will be VERY impressed.

No way! This all makes TOO much sense.
