Its that time of year again. Valentines day!! (pause while everyone smiles fondly about their unrealistic romantic dreams). I hate this day, even more than Christmas. Honestly what is everyone thinking?? Just because its the internationally recognised day for love doesn't mean you get to walk around all starry eyed and spend $25 on a single rose. Love is a myth anyway. All women want is money and someone who looks good and all men want is sex, and most of the year we understand and accept this. Unfortunately everyone forgets these truths on Valentines day and they wilfully submit to the barrage of expensive chocolate, teddy bears and pink frilly things that are crammed down our throats by the "experts" in love Hallmark.
So why am I so bitter and cynical?? Because I want to be. I am sick of everyone pretending that they are happy in their relationships. I have yet to meet a single couple who are completely devoted to each other. My parents constantly argue, my older brother is completely dominated by is witch.... umm wife, and my little brother is a womanizing pig. I have no positive role models with relationships, so I can do nothing but be cynical. Look, i am not saying that every relationship is a fraud destined to fail, just most of them. I just don't understand why people want to be in a relationship in the first place. Women are emotionally unstable weirdoes and men are egotistical pricks, it just cant work. I am not saying that i will never get into a relationship because like everyone else i am stupid and get the unrealistic idea that it will work out. I just wish that for once a woman would just tell the truth about how the relationship would work. They would come up to you and say "You are going to work hard and spend a lot of money on me while i constantly belittle you and tell all my friends you have a small penis, now take off your pants, bend over and think of queen and country because, boy, this is not going to be pleasant". Hell, if a girl came up and said that to me, i think I would fall in love... My god my parents have screwed me up.
All good things must come to an end.... including valentines day (officially it ended 20 minutes ago, but i am still pissed off about it).

So many of the things you say are true!! I had to laugh! I've been in relationships with both Men and women and I agree that alot of women are neurotic emotional cling on's and ultimately men do just want sex. A man who is getting serviced regulaly will be the dream husband!! Valentines Day is about getting more cash out of us as usual, but for me I suppose its about acknowledging the good things in the relationships not pretending its perfect as their is no such thing! there will always be times when we want to smack the shit out of the one you love but today is about remebering the cheesy starry eyed shit that got you together in the first place. I'm sorry hear that your household are not relationship guru's but you have to make your own choices and let them get on with it. Everyone has their own shit and you have to look after your own?? I've heard it said 'it's better to have loved and lost than to not have loved at all?' Anyway, if your single use it as a day to treat yourself!! Love thyself!! Any excuse to buy that new gadget right!!
