My rant about Valentines day

My rant about Valentine's Day 



This is one of the two days of the year I don’t like; the other day is Halloween if you're wondering. Also, Despite not getting a day off I think it’s funny that we treat Valentine's Day like it’s a holiday because it's a commercial for cards. If Valentine's Day had a nickname, it would be making your girlfriend or Wife Happy Day. You can say that’s sexist all you want but it’s true. When you go to a retail store what do you see when they advertise Valentine’s Day? You see flowers, cards, candy and stuffed animals. How many men do you know want those things? Also, the things I mentioned cost more on that day, what gives? 

Who spends the most money men do, we spend money on a woman buying her gifts and for her to wire and dine. What do men get from women?

A man: Sex!

Oh, whoop pee stinking do! Word to the wise if you're in a relationship and that's the only time of year when you get laid something is wrong. I thought this day is about celebrating love, if it’s true then ladies why don’t you buy your man gifts on Valentine's Day? Why don’t I hear men talk about their women buying them Power tools, a PS4, a flat screen TV and season tickets to the all-star games? Heck, what is the most romantic thing you ever done for a man? If you love your man, then this shouldn’t be a problem. 

What about the kids I don't see parents buying their kids anything on this day. Better question what about single people, why are there single people if Valentine's Day is about love? How can we celebrate love if we live in a world full of war, segregation and hate? I know love can't fix those things however it could help. The bottom line is this, men should save their money or spend it on themselves because this day is a waste of time and money. We don’t need Valentine's Day to celebrate the fact that you are in a relationship, isn't that what anniversaries are for?
