It's a lose-lose for everyone

In a relationship? You're basically obligated to do something to express your love, etc.

Got a FwB? Valentine's Day can lead directly to "the talk," which can either A.) put you in a relationship (in which case, see above), or B.) You find you two want different things and you lose for FwB.

Single? Gotta watch all them couples hold hands and make you jelly because you know they're getting laid while you deed in shame (yes this will be me, minus the shame)

Just because I've got a running streak of 32 bad ones doesn't mean it's bad. It's a decent premise.

Eh... I don't really care for the holiday, but it's an ok one. No one should feel obligated to do anything. I don't when I'm in a relationship. And I don't really care this year. I might be able to spend some time with them, but it's not like we can do much. I have to work, AFAIK... (Though it should be my day off next Wednesday, so maybe not...)

If you have a FwB, there's a small chance it'll lead to the talk. But I've had many FwB's during Valentine's Day. And did not have the talk. Haha. And if you do have the talk, most of them would probably understand not wanting to be in a relationship...

I do think it's a dumb holiday. I also don't even consider it to be a holiday. But I don't think it should be abolished. What would you even be abolishing? It's not like people get that day off of work just for that "holiday".

I also don't need a "holiday" to give a thoughtful gift when I have a SO. But I don't care if people with SOs give them gifts on that day.

I'm in a relationship and we never do anything for Valentine's Day.

I'm not sure how one would even go about abolishing it, its not like there is a holiday governing body.

I'd say that fault lies more with the individuals than the day itself. My sister and brother-in-law sees it as pointless and possibly expensive to wait till said day just to express ones affection. One doesn't need a specific day in the year to do that.

Because Target wouldn't be covered in pink shit and flowers and chocolates when you walk in the door for the few weeks leading up to the holiday

Your statement was specific to seeing couples being together, not the decor being changed to fit the season. Are you suggesting a simple change in decor is enough of a grim reminder of your loneliness?

I mean, in addition to seeing chads with their average women standing there figuring out what to buy

Agreed. From a outsiders point of view I simply don't understand folk who hype up Valentine's Day , shitpost on social media what they got and follow other dumb cliches when you probably should be doing that anyway when in a relationship. Oh well showing a loved one you care for them once a year sounds great!

Why does everyone assume you have to spend a bunch of money on Valentines Day?

If I spend any money on my wife this year, itll probably be a Redbox rental.

Otherwise, Ill help the kids make her breakfast in bed and have them draw some shitty heart drawings on construction paper for her and call it a day.

If youre broke, think of something to make or to do. If youre with someone who expects extravagant gifts, theyre probably not grounded and think life is a fairy tale or a movie, or theyre an asshole.

To be fair a lot of folk assume you have to spend a lot of cash on most "holidays". Christmas is the worse.

If we didn't have a cliche holiday devoted to love, let's face it-- people would bitch that there wasn't a holiday celebrating love. Think about it.

I whined about Valentine's Day back when I was a teenager, but as I matured, I realized I could easily brush off the holiday as long as I didn't flood MYSELF with angsty thoughts.

Dumb? Yeah. It doesn't warrant being abolished though. If you're with somebody that is obsessed with it, you picked a dud. It's a great indicator of this and should exist for that reason alone.
