And the advertising of such nonsense. It's one of the many excuses to extract hard-earned dollars from fools in exchange for something less valuable than their children's education or their own equity. If what we paid for that bullshit was fair, the rich wouldn't be so much so, would they?

Valentine's Day exists because girls refuse to let it go. I'm perfectly happy not spending $60 on a dozen roses and instead using that for say... RAM or something. ^_^ I kid, but, if anything, Valentines Day means less now because its supposed to be special. What does a guy do now? Well he hops online, finds the best deal on a dozen, fedex's them and carries on about his day. Granted, you could do more than that but this whole pressure that we guys *have* to do something (both from retailers and significant others) defeats the purpose of the whole thing in the first place. imho, showing you care the other 364 days of the year mean more than just the one day of over-priced florists... Yet you'd think we had tortured kittens with fire if we miss that one day.. Thankfully, I'm in neither of those camps this year, as I planned far ahead and got a break for doing so.

We keep celebrating it because guys are the majority of the “attached” people that want to get out of spending money while girls want to be doted upon. “Attached” women are the reason we still celebrate this “holiday.”

That's because everyone you've ever seen has a propensity to sin based on their corrupt nature. The best path to true love starts with philos and moves toward agape. Plenty of time for eros after you've figured out the other two. <em>HT's last blog post.. <a href='http://zomgee.com/2009/02/12/i-didnt-feel-like-it/' rel="nofollow">I didn?t feel like it</a></em> “I have to say I’ve never seen a couple in a relationship, married or otherwise, that I’m impressed with.”

Your commentary on the steps for courtship were especially funny. How this one emotion or other emotions associated with it can drive us all crazy! Yesterday, I read a commentary about Valentine's Day, and the gist of it was that it is an excuse for retailers to make some money between Christmas and Easter. I laughed, because that's the stand both the single people and the "attached" people take, but for totally different reasons. The single people say it to try to take the sting out of the fact they they will be receiving nothing special (yes, I will make myself vulnerable and include myself in that group). The "attached" people say it because they want to get out of spending money on some token of "love" just because it's the thing to do on Valentine's Day, despite the fact they (hopefully) have been showing they love their spouse/significant other all year. So why do we all continue to "celebrate" this if no one really wants to??? Sorry for the lengthiness of the comment. “Loved” your post…haha.
