Happy Valentines Day to all you wild fornicators! For many of you, Valentines Day is the day that the 'V' and 'D' come together, but for me it's just another self-pleasuring Thursday.
I honestly despise Valentines Day, even when I'm in a relationship. It's too lovey dovey and all the lovers are all up on each other, like come on, Valentines Day is not a big orgy bananza! But anyway... I find Valentines day to be demeaning to all those who are single and go unloved through out the year. It goes Christmas, New Year's Eve, Valentine's Day. Is that fair to anyone who's alone? These are all days you gotta be with someone. And if you didn't get around to killing yourself (I do not condone or support suicide) at Christmas or New Year's, boom! There's Valentine's Day. I think there should be one more after Valentine's Day just called, 'Who could love you?'
Valentines Day is also a day when men show their gross desires for women by presented them with gifts... Today is Valentine's Day, or, as men like to call it, Extortion day. If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?
Another thing I hate about Valentines Day is Cupid! I don't understand why Cupid was chosen to represent Valentine's Day. When I think about romance, the last thing on my mind is a short, chubby toddler coming at me with a weapon.
Either way, no matter how much I, or anyone else, rant about Valentines Day, this holiday will always be here to remind you that if you don't have a special someone, you're alone.
So once again, happy phony, romanticized, overly commercial, sucks to be single, pretend that its love, day!

While I disagree with some of your statements I respect your right to feel the way that you do. You can blame society for feeling the way that you do about Valentine's Day. Misguiding as it may be, It is a cultural tradition. I remember feeling the mush inside as a teen when I got a gift on V-Day but as an adult, I have never put an emphasis on that particular day. I don't want a gift, nor do I expect my husband to go into a panic trying to get me something. But that is just how I feel about me. That said: We are trying to teach my son that V-Day is a day where, if you do have a special person in your life, you can show your appreciation for her by doing something special (and 'special' does not have to cost a dime). And I say "her" because women are the only ones all into the V-Day thing. The cold hard truth is that the day is for women and if you don't buy a gift for her she'll get pissed. But then you get older and you find someone who is not as shallow as a lot of people and you know she is the one for you.
