    As some of you know, Valentine's Day is a week away. Many (including me) consider this to be a horseshit holiday created to do little more than line the pockets of florists and chocolatiers the world over. For others (I'm looking at you, ladies) this is the most romantic of all holidays filled with jewelry, roses, chocolate, and overpriced meals.

    Focus: What are your thoughts on Valentine's Day?

    Good suggestion from Dan Savage -- have sex before you go out to dinner. That way, there's less pressure to do it when you're tired and full of expensive food.

    Other than my engagement ring and wedding band, I very, VERY rarely wear jewelry. So that part of the "holiday" is useless. And getting flowers randomly because he was thinking of me is far nicer than getting them because it's some bullshit holiday.

    I told him I just wanted him to cook for me that night. He started talking about frozen dinners. We might do Chinese take out or something.

    Valentines Day is my birthday, so I don't care about celebrating the holiday. It's never meant anything to me other than my birthday, which I only marginally give a fuck about in the first place.

    The girl is taking me out to a fancy dinner and doesn't want any flowers or anything. I'm still going to get her a little something just because.

    I don't celebrate Valentines day, its impractical when seeing 4 people. I tend to avoid most gift giving holidays. I only do christmas because my family makes me.


    I assign no particular value to the day, if someone wants to do something nice for me then they should just do it and not wait for a "special day".

    I don't remember who pointed this out but someone who observed that this is one of the days of the year where you can, with no grief, look at your boss/coworkers/whoever, roll your eyes, announce you're leaving early because the ball-and-chain wants to go out to eat, and then go home, shut off the phone ringer, and have as much sex as you want with no interruptions.

    I have no kids and not much in the way of intrusive family or bosses, so this usually isn't necessary, but it sounds like a good a reason as any for the holiday to exist.

    If only it existed that way. Instead it serves as a reminder to miserable sad sack single people, a pissing contest to girls in relatively new relationships, and excuse to question the validity of their relationship for more mature relationships. I had a friend who got in a massive fight with his gf of 2 years cause she felt his gift wasn't very meaningful, thus he didn't respect the holiday, thus didnt respect their relationship, thus their relationship was going nowhere. Was she crazy? Of course. Was Valentines Day the catalyst? Absolutely.

    I could care less. Not because its the popular thing to do, but just because. Even when I've had longer relationships, they don't seem to span the date, so it just kind of comes and goes. I never feel shitty about myself cause I don't need some holiday to internalize any relationship shortcomings.

    The holiday meant alot more and had far more stress in grade school when Valentines were passed out. Getting a customized Valentine, preferably Ninja Turtles, from your crush was a life changing experience, where rejection when you knew she was giving it to someone else was a playground world crusher. Man those were stressful times.

    Sadly none of them are into other dudes, so It would be two people in the corner and three people having fun.

    Wait, this math doesn't add up. If A) you're seeing 4 other people, and B) none of them are into other dudes, then how does the scenario end up where two people are in the corner while three are having fun, unless the people fucking are the ones who aren't having the fun?

    She is taking it in both holes, so there is she, dude 1, dude2, which would make 3.

    Really, The Devils triangle, Two dudes and me, a girl. ( There are several places they can use with out touching balls.) Two other dudes are left out in the cold, unless we do some sort of tap out.

    I don't think I have the stamina.





    I'm the only lady.

    I interpreted it as she's seeing two girls who are bi, and two guys who are not. So three girls having fun, two dudes not.

    Well if there were 3 bi girls, would the two guys be having a whole lot of fun?
