Valentines day, for the most part is a bunch of crap! I am going to share with you valentines day truth. Instead of a Q&A, I am going to break this down into a L&T. Lies and Truth. Now, this post is OBVIOUSLY more for my male readers, but my lady readers may get a few laughs as well.
The cliche valentines day bullshit has got to stop! Flowers, Candy, Balloons… There is nothing romantic about getting the same crap every other girl on the planet is going to be getting! Yet, every year this is what is expected.
FELLAS! You are being deceived! Hoodwinked and Bamboozled!!! Valentines day is a sham, a total sham. This probably sounds funny coming from someone with a vagina, but the valentines day truth must be revealed.
In my opinion, valentines day was invented by the flower and candy companies. They got together. Had a meeting. And they decided to team up and bleed hard earned money from men. They want your whole paychecks guys!
A single rose isn’t going to cut it, nope! You going to need at least a dozen! And Don’t even think about getting the small box of chocolates. Your going to need to buy the BIG one, filled with enough chocolate to last till June.
So lets dive on into this L&T shall we…
- Lie: Valentines day must consist of constant endearing ooey gooey proclamations of love. Mainly “I love you.”
- Truth: An “I love you” in the morning, one in the middle of the day perhaps and one before bed is plenty.
I don’t know why women need to hear “I love you” A MILLION times on valentines day. If you man has said it once, and if he is still with you. I am sure he will let you know if things change. Moving right along with more valentines day truth…
- Lie: Over the top plans are expected. Filling their care with balloons and confetti. Fancy dinners and sold out shows.
- Truth: A simple dinner. Go to some off beat place that won’t be busy… Watching the sun set would also be very simple sweet and peaceful.
You don’t need to make reservations to some 5 star place, and you don’t have to buy tickets to outrageous events. To be perfectly honest. Doing something unique to her, would be way more romantic. Surprise her with her favorite activity.
- Lie: Diamonds mean you love her. Ring ring form, earring form, or any other form. Diamond jewelry is a must.
- Truth: Diamond are rocks. They are pretty rocks, but they are rocks none the less. Find a more meaningful gift.
Yes, those jewelery companies spent a lot of time and money making those commercials. That doesn’t mean you have to buy into them. Buying,or even making, a more personal gift is a much better choice. Stay away from the cliche!
The truth could be kept from you no longer. The valentines day truth must be shared, so it can get passed on and become public knowledge. People, we spend enough money on useless crap every year. You know you do it. Why celebrate a day DEDICATED to it? That makes no sense…
The valentines day truth is that you don’t have to do what is expected. In fact, you shouldn’t do whats expected. Don’t follow the traditions created by society and media. Make your own traditions, be unique. Do things that are way out of left field!

Who cares about your opinion when reality says otherwise?
Well, lets see here. This is MY blog so MY opinion on things is bound to come out. Actually, it almost always does. No one has to care about my opinion, agree with my opinion, or even read my blog for that matter. Yet, I get anywhere from 600-1000 views per day. So I must be doing something people care about. But hey Thanks for your comment.
I never do the cliche, or what’s expected, so… that’s why I call this singles awareness day. I like to surprise people, or make creative plans — regardless of it being a “holiday” – I think all holidays are sponsored by an industry — Thanksgiving: Turkey. Halloween: Candy. Passover: Cardboard.
Good luck getting your message heard over the millions of dollars in advertising revenues that diamond and jewelry companies are spending.
Thanks for your comment Ori! Much appreciated!!! I am not trying to get my point across large scale, I mean that would be awesome. But it is just not a reality. If I can simply get a few eyes to open, I will feel accomplished!
