He Said, She Said: Is V-Day Hot or Not?

Hey guys,

Ok, I’m dying to know what you guys think…Valentine’s Day:  Hot or Not?

He Said:

Valentine’s Day can be a major headache for us men. Everything is supposed to be perfect the meal, the romantic conversation, and most importantly the gift. The anticipation for the evening can turn most men to jelly and that’s probably the reason we are not huge fans of the occasion. It is also a very pink day. Everything seems to be fluffy and cute, enough to make you chuck up your oysters.  It may surprise you then, that I actually enjoy this day and urge you to do the same. Why? I hear you say, what could be so great about this girliest of days?  How about the fact that you are pretty much guaranteed to get laid? I’m not talking about regular Wednesday night sex either, it’s Valentine’s Day and your girlfriend will want the night to be extra special. This means she is probably willing to try stuff that she wouldn’t normally. So that fantasy you have been too scared to ask about, try it tonight because she practically has to say YES. Perhaps your gift could also be something that’s really for your pleasure as much as hers. So embrace this pink, fluffy, vomit-inducing day and you may get more than you bargained for.

If for some reason you don’t have a girlfriend (there’s no excuse really, get yourself to HOT or NOT right now), don’t worry – there will be plenty of girls desperate for some loving come closing time at whatever club you get wasted in. They may not be the kind of girl that would get a high rating, but they will still probably be down for a good time.

Have fun, Ollie

She Said:

NOT! Since when is the commercialization of love and romance cool? Tradition or not, Valentine’s Day is the biggest scam of our time and only furthers the stereotype that men and women are not equals. How many men do you know that sit around on February 14th crying into a box of chocolates they bought themselves that no girl loves them? I bet you can’t even name one. Women on the other hand spend their entire year hoping and counting on this one day and one clueless guy to validate their self-worth. If we expect this much from our male counterparts on this particular day, why can’t we learn to love ourselves enough to expect this kind of treatment every day of the year? Does love just stop existing on February 15th? Hell no!

Come on girls, it’s 2010. We have evolved long past relying on a man to make us happy and to buy us cheesy, over-priced novelty gifts on a day the greeting card companies are capitalizing on to fill an economic void between Christmas and Easter! We place too much pressure on guys to be perfect and to plan an epic, romantic and ultimately unrealistic day just so that we can sleep happy at night knowing that someone loves us. It seems to me that the most “love-filled” day of the year is actually the most depressing and terrifying day for a woman, especially if she’s single. Remember, you are an awesome, intelligent and beautiful woman and you do NOT need Valentine’s Day or some man to convince you of this!  No guy should determine how you feel about yourself, so get out there and love yourself first and foremost! Fuck Valentine’s Day!

Keep your chin up, Jackie

So, what’s the verdict – is Valentine’s Day HOT or NOT?

   When people get to be near 30 this is just another day to eat candy and get wasted. I usually spend this day in a group rather than a romantic setting. The girl is bound to get upset unless you have made awesome plans. If i wasn’t single i would make my girl dinner every night and give her candy all the time. Fuck V-Day i guess. I’ll wait for St. Patrick’s Day (a day when people show even more love because they all claim to be Irish)!
