What is really creepy are those Vermont Teddy Bears, especially the large ones.

LOL it’s one day a year. Women aren’t like guys. I can live with that.

Blue’s response should have been, “That’s b/w me & her!”

“And those who are not Mr. Moms and stay-at-home dads do it every single day by working hard and struggling in this Obamaconomy to make a living, to put food on the table and pay the rent. That’s real love. Real love is doing what you need to do to keep your family together and in good welfare, health, and happiness. Most American men with families do that every single day.”

Yup and it is not easy

Last Friday debbie it was so funny. During my lunch break I went over to the navy exchange(nex) to get some firehouse sub(good stuff). I’ve said it before that there is nothing funnier than to see a Navy captain rushing around with a harried look on his face with double the cards candy and flowers. You just know that he’s an admirals aide and that he’s picking stuff up for his boss. My family moved to a new neighborhood last week and are starting to unpack. We went out to eat leaving the kids with the in-laws because the wife and I needed a break. She knows that I love her because I tell her everyday. Our thing is that flowers wilt chocolate melts(my wife hates it) balloons deflate but our love is forever. One day in the shortest month of the year ain’t gonna change that.

Not surprising.

For the last half-century, the media, the political establishment, the educational establishment, etc. have been on a campaign to make white males (and to some extent, males in general), feel guilty about everything, even down, in some cases (like Obamacare) to their very existence, especially if they are older.

So Valentines day is right along with all of this. It reinforces, on a more subtle level, all the attacks on white males associated with the Superbowl, the campus ‘rape’ crisis which has even taken some ‘conservative’ columnists along for the ride, and so on.

That is why Valentine’s Day, unlike Columbus Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas, and other such holidays, will not weaken or alter its message.

I love valentines day. I buy chocolates for my wife and eat them all. Then we go to dinner at a more expensive place than usual and I order a bigger steak than usual. Valentines day 2 should be established sometime in August.

Larry on February 15, 2015 at 9:10 am

My wife forbids me to buy her flowers because she considers them a waste of money. I buy her a card and some chocolates and she is happy. We no longer go out to dinner because it’s a rip-off.

Most men are satisfied with getting respect and a little action from their wives (and girlfriends).

I’m with you Debbie, I hate Dreadentine Day (great name for it). In my opinion it had to have been dreamt up by the women’s lib loons and reinforced by the marketing morons that have to use every excuse in the book to get into the wallets and purses of the clowns that fall for every stupid holiday on the calendar, but this one is especially irritating since it seems that just the men are on the hook and it makes women look like selfish, unappreciative spoiled little brats!

Just reading the replies, tells us all we need to know why women are enthralled with “50 Shades of…

Oh yeah what’s the new rave #no creativity #pathetic #suck

Chocolate, candy, flower & card extortion day! It would be lovely if it was all heartfelt and peeps knew how to treat each other but that just ain’t how things roll in 2015.

Women still don’t understand that our brains work very differently and approaches to “romantic-ness” are done differently via GENDER. That’s why the state of Romance is in a sorry state in the modern age.

If I were a man I wouldn’t pare up with the status quo female of today…damaged, angry & doesn’t know the 1st thing about tending to a love relationship yet has jumped in as if she deserves to play the game. I like how Ken B & his wife roll…THAT’S how it’s done and it’s heaps more meaningful.

That buttinsky friend is so bold (like most shrews today) she jumped in where she should have minded her own whack business. People who are NOT therapists should NEVER infringe on others’ marriage territory. But Buttinsky was a prime example of how annoying women are today and the grand & public mistakes they make.

In 2015 it must be said that dirt-bag men are still WINNING! Chicks today are so skanky they drop their knickers for almost anything with a pulse. The goods for free with ZERO emotional attachment…which does not go the same way for silly females. These skanks make it more hard for good women to find a good man these days. Thanks for nothing, you Skanks!!!

Skunky on February 15, 2015 at 12:26 pm

As usual, Debbie nails it. And Skunky’s synopsis is extremely accurate. Between white skanks slutting it around, then settling down with black or Asian men to marry, white guys are choosing imported brides at an increased pace. It’s hilarious to watch this new “musical chairs” mate-selection process, but kinda sad to see our once-great culture being trashed. *Just* last night, me and the wife went to a church-sponsored (family-freindly) dinner and musical event and I saw three guys- all successful and white, but sort of timid, not bad-looking – with foreign wives: a Peruvian and two Phillipinas. The men looked as happy as pigs in mud.

I’m an odd case in that I’ve never done the DREAD day thing and I taught my three daughters to reject and question almost every “tradition” invented by marketeers and charletains, and we’re all happier people for it as evidenced by my four good, well-adjusted kids and my 22 years of marriage.

Also revealing is the aptly named ‘Pink’;s response, “I thought you were better than that.” Not simply “I disagree” or “I have a different point of view”, but challenging Blue’s worth as a person.

This has become the norm for victimization and challenging white males — it is part of the process by which challenges to the prevailing political and social wisdom become out of bounds.

Little Al on February 15, 2015 at 5:54 pm

Of course, the ultimately funny thing is that a lot of women wonder why men are so committment shy and so incompetent in treating women “like a lady.”

Occam's Tool on February 15, 2015 at 6:53 pm

There is a Mexican kid on the freeway exit who works there day and night selling flowers with his mother. Nice bundles of roses and different colored flowers for $5 bucks a bunch. I usually give him $10 just because. Got a wild hair on Valentines Day to get some and I handed him a $10 bill. (I know they are $5 because my buddy bought some the day before). Then the kid told me for Valentines Day they were now $15……….never again.

I feel the same way about the compulsory donations to the United Way in most workplaces. The distribution of the money is determined politically and the people who are paid wages by the various agencies is determined politically as well. It’s time the United Way is exposed for what they’re doing and not doing.
