*REMINDER* If you're in a relationship, Valentine's Day is coming up fast!

Irony at its finest.

 

Would it too much for me to presume that everybody who posted in this thread is male? This is suppose to be a day for couples and yet all the pressure is on the guy to make this day more than your average day. Why is that?

 

We get our day on 3/14.

If you don't know what that means, google it....

 

It's not pressure, it's protocol and shows character... and also because you're expected to be and I hope you are gentleman, mister stoner.

 

There are some expectations of what men are suppose to do during this day so to a certain degree, there is pressure. What is the protocol for women during valentines since it is suppose to be for both?

Not sure about character as you can see from most replies on this thread shows that men just want to get over this day with the minimum amount of effort or resources while the woman just stands idly by waiting/hoping for her man to do something special for their day.

Why does society expect men to be romantic when generally speaking, we don't look at romance the way women do and yet we are somehow trusted into this responsibility?

 

I have to admit, had to google it. Good thing for me, it's 3/14 for me everyday

 

Your cholesterol must be through the roof!

 

This is actually a great idea- my wife is happy with flowers and loves steak. Done.

 

For women: act like ladies. It is for both, but they will act like ladies on the street, but a freak on the bed...

Because we MEN are the ones who can show how smart we are to turn or chivalry and romantic attributes ANY day, but show a little more on this day. It is not a "responsibility." That's a different meaning. Our responsibility is to take care of the woman and then family as stronger gender because of our penis.

 

A nice dinner is easily over $120+ at Chauma Gaucha, Brenners on the Bayou, or Fogo.

Lobster Tails are going for around $15 for two of them at HEB. The sake is for cooking only, and you can get a small bottle (350ml) at Specs for $6. Shrimp is cheap too.

and for me and my lady a nice bottle of wine isn't something that is over $50.

So yeah, irony at it's finest

 

So what do you old married folks do on V-day?

I don't want to get flowers or anything. I'm down with cooking a nice dinner, wine and a movie.

 

Getting older, Not married, but with my s.o.
flowers to work on wednesday, dinner and dancing at south padre, get a room at the island, and continue celebrating.

 

Just give her the D. That's all she needs.

 

Lol, I did a double-take. Not only not free, but I think already booked by now. Next year's Valentine's Day reminder should come out earlier; 25 days notice isn't enough to get reservations at a lot of places.

 

we're just gonna do it.

 

meh, who needs to wait for 3/14.

Any of you forever alone brehs ready for 2/15? All the Valentine candy goes on sale!

*softly weeps into pillow when no one is looking*

 

i love valentine's day because I get discounted chocolate for myself the following days. same goes with easter, mm can't wait for those peeps.

 

I'm not mad. Just thought maybe you should have said something along the lines of "aren't those items usually expensive?" and I could have clarified. That's cool though. Yes, I should have clarified initially.

lol @ the scion comment. I was just trying to be helpful. A lack of response to me would have sufficed.
