I agree with this. Jero and I just use it as an excuse to spend the day together. Nothing really more than that. He got me chocolate for our very first V-Day... and I didn't get it until June. Lol. Other than hanging out, we don't do anything. Except MickyD's

See, that's something I can totally agree with doing, I was going to actually compliment you on your tasteful dinner date of some McNuggets lol. I think it's a good excuse for date night, but it's the commercial trappings that I take issue with. Like anything, there's always exceptions, like my friend who does pixel art with beads, he made his girlfriend a Mario fire flower one year. And unlike a real flower, that one's still hanging up. :)

I can agree with some of those points, though only people that don't truly understand the meaning of dedicating a day to your loved one will go "all out" and "spend a fuck ton of money" to "impress some girl." For some that are too busy to always take time out to appreciate their SO, v-day is a good excuse for things to slow down and get with the atmosphere. Not to mention, I think strip clubs have vday specials that hubby and I can take advantage of. Just sayin'.

Largely ties in with my reply to Squee, but I agree with you. Nothing wrong with just enjoying the day with your SO or date and just enjoying each other's company
