So Valentines Day is quickly approaching [as per all the DOUCHEBAGS on my Facebook who been announcing this sh*t regularly since Jan. 27th] and it’s time once again to have the ignorant eternal argument over whether or not this is a day that should be celebrated and appreciated or if it should be relegated to a wasteful, terrible waste of 24 hours created by the “evil” greeting card industry. Personally, I think Valentines Day is a cool concept and there’s nothing wrong with celebrating the fact that you’re in love, even though you should obviously do that everyday. But here’s the one caveat that makes me HATE Valentines Day: When WOMEN decide to turn a simple show of affection into the female version of a Big-D*ck contest.
Before I use to think that only weddings and engagement rings qualified as estrogen-filled Big-D*ck contests, where all the women whip it out and try to make all the other women with smaller ones envious as hell, but now you can throw Valentine’s Day into that mix as well.
I was watching a Proflowers.com commercial on TV [which I unfortunately can't find on Youtube] and the lead actress who is suppose to represent a “real” customer was going on and on about how her boyfriend bought her a beautiful, expensive and HUGE bouquet of roses which “made all the girls jealous and put all the other men in the office to shame!” It’s cool that she appreciates his gift, but the fact that she added that last part of making all the women around her envious and making the other men seem like frowsy, inconsiderate assholes REALLY rubbed me the wrong way. It’s bad enough that Valentines Day is a celebration aimed solely for the WOMEN’S benefit [please let's just be HONEST about that point - it is], but now you mean to tell me that the man’s method of displaying his love needs to not only to be special to his woman, but GRAND enough to make other dudes need to sleep on the couch? What part of the game is that?!
Obviously it should be noted that it’s not ALL women, as there are MANY women who just want a small token of appreciation as a tangible sign of the true depths of the love they share, but there are also MANY women who want a big ass present, wrapped with a big ass bow, delivered in the middle of the day to their desk in the middle of a department meeting so everyone on the floor can see how much MORE her man loves her and how much BETTER her relationship is. And you wanna know the WORST part about these chicks? You know what they get their man…
NOT A DAMN THING.
Back in the days the expectation was she gets a gift and he gets some nani. I remember my white friend Jay told me about his amazing Valentines Day last year:
Jay: “Bro! My Valentine’s was AWESOME! I got her a life size Roger Rabbit doll and she LOVED IT!”
Me: “Nice! What did she give you?”
Jay: “ANAL!”
But you know what’s crazy? Women nowadays are actually getting OFFENDED at the idea that their man should get some sex at the end of the night. They are upset that our modern society is trying to dictate what they MUST do with their bodies and WHEN & HOW they should do it and they AIN’T having it.
“My pleasure baby, I’m glad you liked your $133.69 flowers…What do I want?! Well, I was thinking….maybe you can swallow tonight..”
“Ugh, ok maybe not tonight…but I’m saying tho…maybe you can put on that black lace nightie and let me hit it from the back while I watch the NBA dunk competition..”
“FINE. I’m goin’ to bed b*tch! Just pass me that Jergens and my laptop and give me a moment..”
Really, ladies? So it’s cool for you to get everything you DEMANDED, but it’s offensive for him to get some head off you? So he has to go to bed with the same tumbleweeds blowing around his wallet, also blowing around his now dry and lonely balls? That just ain’t right.
To the ladies who like Valentines Day and believe it’s cool just to get a reasonable present that appropriately shows how much he cares, then much props to you. To the ladies who want and expect the WORLD to be handed to their asses on February 14th just so they can show up other women and NOT return the favour – go F*^K yourselves – you’re RUINING this sh*t for EVERYBODY.
Your selfish asses don’t deserve flowers, you deserve this dudes speech:
This Is Your Conscience
P.s.If your man is not a FLORIST or a serial killer who plants bodies in his backyard, PLEASE refrain from believing that men like FLOWERS too – y’all can keep ‘em – we’ll take the head.

Ladies & Gentlemen, Do You Support Valentines Day Or Do You Think It's WACK? Also Do You [Ladies] Give AND Receive?
Also, I hope We Can ALL Agree That Valentines Day Is PRIMARILY Meant For The Woman's Benefit…RIght?!

1st of all LMAO @ "the same tumbleweeds blowing around his wallet, also blowing around his now dry and lonely balls?"
I don't think it's wack. I don't think it needs to be a big show of emotion or expensive gifts though. I would admit that it’s geared toward women and that’s fine but ladies please don’t collect your beautiful flowers and nice dinner out @ the spot you love and then get home and act all self-righteous and give your man no action…. I suggest that while you’re sitting in the restaurant having that dinner you hand him a card that simply says “baby I love you. When we get home tonight you can put it anywhere you want. Happy Valentine’s day.” DONE!! That’s all you need

It's a scam, and clearly favors women in every aspect. There was a comedian (I can't remember who) that joked about buying women candy, jewelry, trips, and whatnot for Valentine's Day and anniversaries, and what do they get? The same old nani they got yesterday. Lol
No, I'm not saying I won't buy my woman anything for V-Day, because that would be more trouble than it's worth especially because I know she'll make references to what other women got too.

@craziijnell
I see that V-day is meant for the woman's benefit. I also know that in my past relationships, I've done Valentine's Day things (flowers, candy, sexy hotel stuff). I tend to like to arrange those things for two reasons. One of which is I'm a control freak. The day is really for me to show him what I like and he can emulate that again on my birthday in March….. The second is because I actually LIKE doing things for menfolk I love/like. I didn't even know the sex thing WAS the reward. I always assumed we just ended up sexing. Who is snubbin' dudes on head?

Not all women are into this commercialize holiday….this one beats Christmas 10 folds!
I personally never liked the thought of Valentine's Day. I do not need one day out of the year to be wined and dined. Straight goods, that should happen through out the year. I appreciate flowers, dinners, gifts, etc any other day of the year, however, I frown on them when they come on V-day. Why? I don't need you to follow what society says.
Now, my hubby on the other hand, likes the idea of the excuse to show me his love on that day. Yes, of course I will accept it cause I know that it doesn't happen only on this day. So I guess I have to step up my game here so I have a question for the men:
Aside from sex (which is give anyways!), what would you like your woman to do to incorporate the day to be "our day" and not just the woman's? Help me make this special….please!

Jilly, the problem is that my body is my own and he doesn't have any right to treat me like I'm a piece of meat just because we are together…
We should have to exchange gifts and that's fine, but when it's being implied I have to give him some or else, I have a problem with that
Feb 8th, 2012
Kizzy
The woman who are snubbing men on head are the women who are not being treated with respect and being treated like a whore! "Hey baby I bought you a bracelet so suck my little c.ock!" Um no, I'm not a prostitute…

It's a scam that most men are too stupid or cowardly to use to your own advantage…

I agree with this completely. I tell women from the jump….this shall be a 50/50 event or I should at least be getting something better than what I normally get. When did it become ok for women to ask everything of men, then when a man want something in return….its a problem? It's us reducing them to an object? It's us putting a price on them? It's us expecting something for a "nice gesture"? I call those females delusional and the men that fall for it suckers.

I don't think its making you a piece of meat. I think its sexy to offer yourself up to your man on a silver platter every now and then. If you ever feel like a just a piece of meat then you are with the wrong man.

Exactly IW!! V-day is a Lover's Day — for men and women bOTH!! Yes we (women) may reap the gifts that forces you to open that thang some of you call wallets but it in the end you get something out of it as well (whether booty, dinner, gift in return or just ALL OF HER). There's no losers on that day unless you just a hen pecked lacky.
Know Your Role!!

I feel you, but me personally, I always give gifts in return.. Just in case.
No hard feelings.

I understand that and I will offer myself up when I and I am ready, not because some stupid holiday says I have to!

Valentines day is for both of your benefits but if you don't want to establish that with your woman because you "don't want any problems" then that is your sole fault.

So it's delusional to believe I should be able to choose when my man gets my body??

If my man is kind enough to spend money on frivolous items that will either wilt or be eaten in a matter of a few days, then I have no issue with giving him head/anal or what have you for V-day (or any other day of the week for that matter).
I really don't understand why some of us women tend to hold out on sex. If you are engaging in sexual activities correctly, it should be reciprocal. Therefore, if you deny him, you are also denying yourself. So go ahead, put out on V-day.

" I suggest that while you’re sitting in the restaurant having that dinner you hand him a card that simply says “baby I love you. When we get home tonight you can put it anywhere you want. Happy Valentine’s day.”
If more of us women understood this….

I enjoy valentines day. And agree its mostly geared to be a woman's holiday. But you can make a man love it more too ; ) and if he didn't already care about you, he wouldn't be doing the things he's doing for you. Back all the way in high school I used to enjoy showing out with what I was given and the grand display of attention. And women love attention so I think that's why we like these things. But I think it's only fair to give and receive! If you are in a relationship and showing your loveeee for the other person do it! Don't be selfish! If you don't want to have sex with him, still get him a gift. Tickets To a game or the type of things for Xmas.
Last year with my bf I wore a trench coat to dinner, and refused to take it off cause aside from jewelery and undergarments that's all I had on. He loved that. Part of the fun is topping off whatever you did the yea before that. If you're at the stage where you are already having sex, what is the point of holding back when the person is genuinely going all out for you! It's an extra gift when he puts it on you that night also. I don't see much losing for woman.
But I did like Vicky's question, what gifts are you guys looking for??? ( Im
Still trying to figure out what to do for this vday)

It's delusional to take things from someone and then walk away like they didn't want anything in return. That's living in denial. You could give gifts back or you could have done something special for them.
So you're point is that using men for gifts and special things is ok? Hmmmm says something bout your character.

Yes. Birthday, Christmas (or whatever winter holiday you celebrate), New Years Eve (generally) and Valentine's Day (unless you decided not to celebrate this year). Days you put your game face on for him (if you happen to not be in the mood) the same way he puts his on for you when he doesn't choose what show/movie to watch with his eyes or song to listen to with his ears, or some such.

I am conflicted. I like Valentine's day or I did up until . . . whenever I recently started getting tired of consumerism and advertisements. I think that getting rid of it would be like getting rid of Christmas, which seems to slowly be happening. I wish they would just call it X-mas and leave X-mas trees at schools and court buildings alone. Something about how happy people are when certain holidays roll around would be lost if there was no Valentine's Day, but . . . it's like it's pushed too much. I hate that Kay jewelry store's motto is "every kiss begins with Kay!" It's like the they're saying "Great, let's make prostitutes out of 'em when they're young, that jingle will stick forever". The concept is nice, but the execution is becoming very soulless and . . . not about love or caring. And who doesn't buy the person buying them a present on Valentine's Day? I am the best present giver ever (when I have it) and you're getting sex too. You know why? Because this day is to show in a big way that you mean something to me and so . . . I'm going to show that. As I do whenever I'm giving a gift for a special holiday (though the little gifts to friends and family throughout the year kind of show that too.)

V-Day is for relationships, huh. So I take it YOU planned a wonderful V-Day evening for your man… Didn't think so.

I love the "YOU MAD" picture haha!
And I agree with Jilly in this case, there's nothing wrong with making yourself looking sexy to a man you trust. Plus there are so many techniques that drive men wild, most women just have no clue!
Great article btw!
