Come on! No one has anything to say? Guess I'm feeling frisky and chatty today.
For me, Valentines day is just a chick holiday. If it was up to men, there would be no Valentines day. That may sound mean or whatever, and I'd never directly tell my wife that  , but it's honestly true.
For guys who are dating - Valentines day is absolutely crucial. You forget your girlfriend, you're in big fricken trouble. I think it's a status thing for women. Like "I got flowers" "I got candy" "I went to a nice restaurant" "I got some jewelry". That is why you have all these services that deliver stuff to your wife's office or workplace - so it can be a big deal and everyone will notice.
So when you're dating, you're gonna get some if you please your girlfriend on Valentines day.
When you're married, you still have to do this. It's implied that you sure as hell better get something for your wife, or you're in the dog house. But you've already established your mate, no women would divorce someone for failing on Valentines day. And if she does, you have other issues with her all together.
When you have kids, it's a new level of resposibility. Kids must get their mom a valentine. So I have to go shopping on behalf of my kids today to buy my wife a valentine "from them".
So basically, BECK would not be disappointed if Valentine's day was somehow disbanded. Don't get me wrong, I love my wife very much and I appreciate the fact that I can express my love for her - but why do I have to spend 200% more for roses today than I will tomorrow to do it? Know what I mean?
I'm curious to hear from our women -- Ca+ and SP - what say you?
