Valentine's Day is a national holiday for gold-diggers, non-independent women and whiners. I know what you're probably thinking, I'm just bitter. Not quite. See I'm the only girl in the family, raised with two brothers, one older, one younger. All three of us are single at the moment, each for our own reasons.
I'm single for a few reasons. First off, I don't believe in settling down for anything. I use the term "thing" because some men unfortunately are just that; I couldn't even classify some of them as beings. My second reason is that I believe that you can be just as happy single as you can be in a relationship. If somebody needs to be with an individual in order to fulfill their happiness then they are in a relationship for the wrong reasons. Another thing that bothers me is the fact that some girls seek out relationships in order to be pampered and get gifts. I am 100 percent against this; I'm definitely not one of those girls who needs a man so that I can have gifts bought for me. If I need something, then I'll get it myself.
I have met a lot of girls, mostly acquaintances who have told me that they try to look for a guy around Valentine's Day just so they can get spoiled. Imagine, if I found out that one of these girls were trying to get with one of my brothers just so that they can pamper them? Hell no! I wouldn't allow that. If a girl doesn't know how to be independent, then she's pretty much useless in my opinion.
Obviously not all women are gold-diggers; there are plenty of independent women out there who know how to take care of themselves. There are plenty of happy couples out there as well. Kudos to you. But if your man/lady is just paying attention to you now because it's almost Valentine's Day, then that's a major problem; try couples counseling or just end it quickly.
As a guy, if you put effort into getting a card for Valentine's Day and your lady is whining that she was expecting diamonds or some kind of jewelry, then you've got yourself a gold-digger in the making. Cut her off before she starts draining your pockets.
I am not completely against Valentine's Day but I feel as if the holiday is just an excuse for individuals to either start paying attention to their significant other or an excuse for unnecessary gifts. Really, a hug should suffice.
One more thing that annoys me about Valentine's Day is that everyone feels like you have to do something that day. I've already been asked by several people about what my plans are. I mean is it really that serious? I can understand if you happened to be born that day, then obviously you'd be celebrating because it's your birthday. I'm sure that those gold-diggers out there feel gipped, combining two "special" days into one. I can just see it: a huge fight erupting because they didn't get a birthday and a Valentine's gift.
But enough about gold-digging women; guys are just as bad. Another sad excuse for Valentine's Day is for guys to get laid. I know this one dude (I won't mention his name) who really goes out of his way for women, taking them out to eat and spending tons of money on them; I'm talking about girls way out of his league. So for guys like him who are looking for trophy wives and non-independent women, I dedicate this holiday to you; Happy Valentine's Day!
