Re: What do you think of people..
^ okay.. but what if they do put effort and thoughts?, i got a card roses chocolates and he had to send it through fedex. it just made me feel special on that particular day. if u can make ur other significant feel special on other days, so why not express ur feeling this day as well?
Re: What do you think of people..

if they want to put in thought and effort sure, its their business ..more power to them. they are not the same as the slaves to the system doign it just because it is expected.
as far as why not on this day..because the day has no personal meaning for us. its not that on this day just to be counter establishment we shut off expressing our feelings, but its just like another day, not like our anniversary or birthdays.
Re: What do you think of people..
In my thinking...
Everyday we should...
take a little time...
and
make a little effort....
to express appreciation for our loved ones.
No need to be anything fancy.
No need to be anything expensive.
A note, a smile, a laugh, a hug.
An offer of help when chores need tending.
A glass of iced tea while your mowing the lawn when it's hot outside.
A warm towel fresh from the dryer when you step out of the shower at 5.30 am.
The old cliches contain wisdom.
Actions speak louder than words.
It's the simple things in life that matter.
Re: What do you think of people..
Why go through all this trouble Avg when most girls here are more than happy with a box of chocolates and roses once a year.

who don't make the effort on Valentines Day cas they don't 'believe in it'. I would've thought if someone means something to you, then you'd put your effort in something you don't like much just so they can be happy. I mean you'd take a walk in the nastiest of parks with that person just cas they wanted to so why is it that those who don't like the whole idea of V Day are so adamant in not doing anything Valentiney.

Baaji it's not about being lazy, it's coz it's not a part of our culture, some of us have enough pride in our own ways to not do crap like that.
I know when I get married I won't need some silly gay day to show that I love her.
With short-term relationship it's different because you're after only one thing and your culture can be left out for a bit, no point teaching your ways to a GF but at home with your wife you live by your own ways so that that's what gets passed on to your next generation.
