i am assuming you feel that way because you dont have that so called special someone…well i do….and damn i still hate valentines…it was a holiday created by women 4 women 2 destroy men!
i hate having to come up with something, something shimmery, pretty, romantic, heart-like, blah,blah,blah… everything is twice expensive…roses, balloons, chocolates, lingerie (cant spell that one!
) hallmark cards, etc…it’s just another hole in the pocket for us men! they should abolish the day!
I hate valentines day too. It wasn’t actually invented by women, the first ever valentine was sent by a man and then the card companies etc got hold of the idea.
I hate valentines Day!! I specifically did a search on “hate valentines” and was offered this site by the engine. I can’t buy into that crap that my babies (3, & 41/2mos.) are my valentines, they would probably need therapy if they saw me in lingerie and are allergic to chocolate. Like if a tree falls in the forest and noone hears it, if my legs are shaved and I have cute jammies, does it matter if there is no one to notice. And my brother and his wife are young lovers having a baby and lovey dovey “kill me now” : ) Happy Day to you too!
Oh!! This stupid day!!!!!!!!!! A day to buy cheap gifts and flowers, to express to someone that you love them…..HELLO you should tell someone you love them everyday at least in someone way or another. This so called holiday has crashed into a huge wall of disapointment and broken hearts for so many people. Yes, I am single, but that is not the reason I dislike this holiday so much. It’s a Hallmark holiday and has been blown way out of proportion just so companies can cash in on huge profits from pink hearts and boxed candy!
BAH HUM BUG!!!!!!!!!
I HATE valentines day sooo much. And i am single but thats not why i hate it this is the first valentines i have been single in 3 years and when i was with someone i still hated it all is does is causes stress for those in relationships to find that perfect gift which is usually never good enough away and a wast of money. and for those single it makes them feel like crap b/c you see all these cute little mushy people and have all your friends recieve flowers and gift and blah blah blah its just a stupid day and someone should shoot cupid with his own arrows
i hate valentines day SOOOOO much but its mainly because i never have got anything and my friends always have. its not like i’m ugly either.
people going around hypnotised by the fact that they got a card from an unknown person it could be a 30 year old perv but they still have the fantacy that its there crush.
i may be 14 but 4 god sake ……..
COME BACK TO REALITY YOU PROBABLY WROTE THE CARD YOURSELF!!!!!!
rose sellers are ripping you off because about a month b4 v-day they put up the prices gradually so it doesnt seem to bad but…..
THEY ARE RIPPING YOU OFF
if you really love someone you dont need 1 day to show them u love then if you truely love them v-day is every day!!!!!
this is my opinion i dont give a sh** what u think of it. think about it and its all true!!!
Hey, don’t knock Valentine’s Day! That’s my Birthday! *lol*
well… i hate valentines day… because not only is it known as the “date rape” holiday because of the distribution of aphrodisiacs through chocolate, but because i have been dumped 4 times on V-day… its like they plan it… and fyi, v-day is the celebration of St. Valentine being stabbed in the heart 7 times by his wife that he cheated on… new meaning to bloody valentine, huh?
i hate valentines day because of the fact that i know that im very very good looking and im a good person but for some reason i end up alone and this year when i put my ALL into so one i come home and out of nowhere NONE OF HIS STUFF IS HOME so to come home on valentines day sucks really bad when the person you love leaves you with nothing to say not good bye NOR happy valentines day babe i love you.

Dont you think?
Valentines Day is the most over-rated holiday of them all. Most guys don’t give a shit about it anyway. Usually what ends up happening is us girls stress ourselves out over it weeks before wondering what we should him, if we should even get him anything, what kind of card should we pick out, what were going to wear, whatever, the list goes on and on. When Valentine’s Day finially gets here we realize that we put in eight times the amount of effort than our honey has. In fact, if he even remembers that it is valentines day, the most effort he has put in is probably stopping at the nearest grocery store to pick up the cheapest flowers he can find. By the end of the day, we end up with a broken heart and ugly flowers that will probably die in two days anyway. Just pretending that Valentine’s Day doesn’t exist sounds pretty damn good to me!
I have never had a good Valentine’s Day. I have a boyfriend and I feel like I am alone on Valentine’s day. He constantly forgets and every year he says the same thing “I’m so sorry”. Stop saying you are sorry and start remembering to say Happy V-Day. I seriously hate Valentine’s Day and I know I am not alone. I cannot wait until Feb. 15th and put the whole red and pink behind me.
I hate Valentine’s Day. I always have hated Valentines Day. What’s the point, it is just another one of those holidays that doesn’t mean a THING to ANYONE! Who started it? What’s it stand for? No one knows!!!! Forget the fact that my boyfriend just broke up with me right before Valentine’s Day, I would hate it anyways!
Bah Humbug! Stoopid valentines day! Its enough to put a girl off pink forever! However I do like to mock and scorn those silly girlies who dress up in their strappy shoes and sexy off the shoulders tops and wait in the february chill for their men! I also like to team up with female singletons and go out for a really posh meal and intimidate uncomfortable looking couples! lol! u see people its all about turning it around for your own amusement! Have fun and Happy V Day to u all! x x xx
i bet all you people are fat and ugly, and i am really sorry about the misfortune.
well i find it odd that if so many people hate it why is it still happening?
v-day is full of crap. & ur boyfrend is a moron.
if you were mine. well be in aspen or sumthing like that.
I am not particularily fond of Valentines day, yep I too am single, and quite sick of it. It is just another reminder that I am still single and yeah it is a hallmark holiday created by some advertising mogul who probably decided that they needed more money (actually Valentines day originated in England by St. Valentine, look it up in Encylopedia) but in the US it is a day of love and frankly I am envious of those who have someone they love and don’t celebrate on V-day or for that matter any day. Those that are blessed to have a soulmate in there life, have fun tomorrow, do something fun with the one you love, and call those friends who are single like me and let them know how cool they are . Also, anyone know of any parties or celebrations going on in LA area for V-day?

i used to love this day, i love buying the shiny things for the girl you love, its not about the day itself, its about showin the love you have for that significant other, which this year i dont have anyone to share it with, which means i dont hate this holiday, i hate my situation, its a day meant for love, and what you make of it is how you should see it.
Why are people referring to Valentines Day as a “holiday”?? You do not get a day off work like Christmas or a Bank Holiday. I also hate the day, I’m married but neither of us believe in this commercial crap, It also makes single people feel inferior.
Ive been dumped twice on Valentines day so there are alot of regret/pain/angst stuff back there.However, now I say, its no longer my problem,I can either sit here wrapped in sorrow and somoneelses power, or can hand that power back and say,its yours, its your problem now. Im not feeling guilt every time I feel happy anymore.Because once I feel good, I can make those around me feel that too. Jelousy,envy,hate, fear will consume you(they did me) OR, you can say
its their problem and smile and feel the calm, try it, its a really good feeling, oh and go buy your self a treat today, or just make somthing(I love to paint glass) go out n commit random acts of utter kindness : )
thanks for your time
I was sitting in language arts class minding my own buisness when my language teacher (who openly displays her hostility towards me) desided to use me for an example. There are only 5 guys in my class and out of those 5 I was picked to participate in her devilish idea. She had me pick a random name out of a bucket she named “The Sacred Urn Of Rome”. In other words I pick a name out and that person was supposed to be my “mate” for the next year…… The class broke out in laughter as well as my teacher. Then when I started to conplain and say how unfair it was that she picked me to do it all she said was that the girl should be the one complaining….. That was low. In conclusion…..well I hate Valentine’s day….. and I have the utmost despise for it.
that’s really evil!
I found this site by searching ‘i hate valentines day’ on google too. and i do. it truly sucks. and google have changed the ‘o’ to a heart! reminders of this stupid day are everywhere! Who actually enjoys it? not many. even the coupples. and i wish everyone would stop complaining that they’ve not had anyone for x years or they were dumped on v-day cos it’s even more depressing that noone is complaining they’ve never had a gf/bf. I have been single all my life. The only card ive ever got was an email when i was 6 and im pretty sure that was from my dad. so yeah. valenines should be banned.
I think falling in “love” is a bunch of nonsense. Its just an empty emotion to cover up the fact that you just want to get laid. Frankly, I’d rather have a warm cookie and milk, than have awkward sex with someone I don’t really care about. Ladies, guys don’t give a crap about what kind of day you’ve had. All we think about is how to get it on with you, so stop kidding yourselves. Love sucks. Love is a scam. Give up the charade. Happy V-Day.
I’m not even going to front.. I’m bitter cause I’ve never had a bf. BUT Valentine’s is still just a holiday promoted by Hallmark for mass income. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO POINT TO IT. It’s just an excuse for people to swoon over their crushes.I just try to dismiss this so called “holiday” which we don’t even get a day off for. Just bye all the candy half off on the 15th
It’s a stupid holiday even if you have a bf. we didn’t do much for it but I still came home and cried cuz i hate the day so freakin much. I get judged where I work cuz i don’t get flowers sent to me and they think something’s wrong with my relationship. THERE’S NOT A DAMN THING WRONG WITH IT! I just don’t have to have flowers that DIE in order to prove that someone loves me and cares about me.
I have a husband how evidently is a Valentines Day retard. We have been together for 5 years (married for 3) and I have only recieved an acknowlegement of the holiday one time. It was the 1st year we met. We had been together for 6 weeks. I recieved a teddy bear and a rose. The catch is that he had his mom get it for me instead of purchasing it himself. He didnt even bother to sign the card himself. Oh i did recieve this though; when he came home from work he said: “I was going to get you something for Valentines Day but i didnt”. And that was all he said. Nice huh. This is why freakin Valentine Day pisses me off.
ha valentines day a day wen the lonely feel twice as bad but wts reeli a kik in the teeth the people tht actually wnt a girl for longer the 24 hours tht valentines day olds the dik hed dwn the road asks her out for tht 1 day and she falls in love wit him and ur left standin ther feelin twice as crap cus the dog is gettin mor thn you r.

Yeah i came to the right site, I too HATE valentine day, it is a day for stupid couples to express their love, but is it really love when he is buying gifts for you and his other girlfriend???????????that he NEVER mentioned her and you have the cheapest gift between the two of you. yeah, way to go to make us women feel depressed.
I hate valentines day, because it never fails, every year, that no matter how many friends, or how happy I am earlier on- on valentines day/week, I’m always alone. I’m the eternal babysitter, the forever friend to watch the dog as my friends, parents, siblings go out together. I don’t even care if its the person I’m supposed to be with. One Valentines day, I just wish I wouldn’t be alone…
I hate Valentine’s Day. All that sugary sweet nonsense you seen all around. How about us SINGLE GIRLS? Do men love and appreciate us? I think not. I am not a man hater. My recent ex from Patchogue, NY brought me roses from Pathmark Supermarket last year. How do you like that! He was more in love with his house and computer than me. Hope it keeps him company when he is lonely.
Well, I hope this year I have better luck in meeting someone normal. To all those lovely women out plus myself, enjoy yourself and make yourself smile. Its only one day in the year.
I live in the UK and echo my hatred for valentines day. I am no romeo but have had my share of ladies so don’t go thinking it’s something I am bitter about. If there was one day of the year I could do a ‘Juliet’ and die for a day then it would most certainly be Valentines Day. Commercialised pap dominated by pathetic, spineless women who feel the need to be ultra-appreciated. I too typed in “Hate valentines day” because it’s coming up and people keep asking me what I’m doing for my girlfriend. I’d rather tell her I love her on Feb 15th and buy her double the roses for half the cost than fall into that money grabbing trap.
A government run by me would ban valentines day on the count of being inciting sexual hatred.
Bastards!
Fletch
I hate Valentines Day I wished that all men died of AIDS, banned all males on this planet because they have all got AIDS, they are all rubbisbed and unclean, messy and smelly, I wished that men never existed on this planet because they are all UNCLEAN AND HAVE AIDS.
i hate valentines day because its my stinkin birthday! i have to worst boyfriend in the world, i always get screwed, becasue i only get a gift for either, or.
IT JUST SUCKS TO BE A VALENTINES BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!
val is my favorite holiday. i hate christmas. val day is my christmas, because at least one thing is good on val day – it really IS the thought that counts. i can give my best friend a paper heart and she knows it means something. a lot more than the blender i’ll get her for christmas. ….. but i do have such sympathy for the haters – just dont get angry at me for loving it. the girl who got dumped 4 times? the ones who truly are tortured by the reminder of love not had? i would hate it too. i mean, that’s kind of why i hate christmas. all these gifts bought out of obligation, you’re on someone’s list and you know you probably caused them more stress than enjoyment. i dont stress about giving valentines and no one is on a list – if i miss someone, i tell them i love them later.
oh, wow! i hate valentines just as much as you bitter people out there. i am saddened to read how you are angered by a simple holiday. get a life and dump on the windshield of the person who is disgusting you right now. you will feel relief in more ways than one….aaaahhhh!!!!
I hate valentines day because its a stupid day…. every one goes around pretending to love one another….. and i say pretending…
because WHY do they wait to say I LOVE YOu on Feb 14 and then not say it or show it the rest of the year its all very stupid.
i hate valentines day too. it’s so retarded. why would people even fret about it. if i had a boyfriend i wouldn’t worry about them getting me any thing shiny. then again i’m only 16 and i’ve never had a boyfriend. i still don’t think it’s necessary. just celebrate your anniversary like that, and everything is so high priced. every store you go to will say it’s on sale but that’s BS and poor guys still fall for it. if you really want to buy something “special” get it two months early. or get something really cheap that isn’t shiny but personal.
i dub Valentines the most over-rated holiday ever.
i hate it too
I don’t have anything against the sentiment of Valentines day, or even the fact thats it’s a big fake commercialised scam. I’m a romantic at heart, but take my word for it, it’s all too easy to fall into a trap. My girlfriend used to get spoilt, but there is only so many years that you can top what you organised last year. It’s stressing me out and I can’t be bothered anymore. If your gonna celebrate Valentines day…..make sure you start of small, and don’t try to out do yourself the next year. The best option, is to get into a monotonous routine of floweras and chocolates, so you both know what’s coming and what’s expected.
I have never had a Valentine, then last year when I almost did, we broke up 2 weeks before. To make matters worse, he still bought me the most beautiful bouquet of roses, but he completely ignored me that day. Even when I do get someone, I won’t be celebrating Valentine’s day b/c it’s just dumb.
P.S. You know you’re pathetic when your sister who’s married wants to take you out just so you don’t feel bad.
What does Valentines Day do for us? It is a day that tortures the lonely and escalates the suffering of the deppressed. And anyone that is not lonely, do they ‘need’ a particular ‘day’ to show that they love eachother? Because if they do, is it really special? Perhaps this day is a day of pushing ‘phoney’ affection that would not be given otherwise among couples, and a day that all to much reminds the lonely of how little life means to them.
I promise that those that feel burdened by Valentines Day are fools for taking things so forgranted. Such meaningless burdens do not even remotely amount, nor can it even be compared in the slightest way to the pain that so many suffer everyday, especially days like today on Valentines Day.
I HATE VALENTINES ALSO BECAUASE WHEN SOMEONE TRYS TO SCAM YOU AND GET DUMPED FOR NO REASON THATS WHY
I HATE VALENTINES ALSO BECAUASE WHEN SOMEONE TRYS TO SCAM YOU AND GET DUMPED FOR NO REASON THATS WHY
I absolutely hate this day too- all the glittery cupid laden bs simply makes me vomit in my mouth!!!
Everyone expects something and if you do answer the call of ‘duty’ then its no ‘b^%ty’ for at least a week
Lame!
I am also a member of the “Valentine’s day sucks” club. I’ve been married for 16 years, and every year, I cringe when I go into a store and see all the “cutesy” stuffed animals, frilly heart shapped boxes, stupid cards, and roses. Heck, when I went into Walmart today, it smelled like a freaking funeral home with all the flowers they had out on display.
Every year, I tell my husband to forget about doing anything for Valentine’s day. I refuse to go out to dinner because I know how crowded the restaurants are going to be. And I refuse to cook a “romantic” dinner for us. After all, we have 3 sons and I know that whatever I cooked, they wouldn’t eat. And who has time to prepare a “romantic, gormet” dinner anyway?
The worst part is when my two younger sons have to buy valentine’s day cards for their classmates. And then they bring home a crap load of stupid little cards and candy. All that stuff does is make clutter. I end up throwing everything away within a couple of days.
Anyway, my husband should be grateful that I’m not demanding that he spend loads of money on jewlery and fancy underwear for me. As I said, with three kids, there’s no privacy around here, and if any of our sons saw me in some lacy and frilly underwear, they’d be in therapy for the rest of their lives.
I hate Valentines Day… Every year its a damn disappointment. Last year… I had a stalker… This year my ex boyfriend REMEMBERS and emails me and the guy I’m falling for totally forgets… and doesn’t even say it to me… But I guess I’m the idiot for really expecting anything…. I HATE THIS… I dont even know why Im venting on a random internet site, but it is making me feel better.
HOPE YALL have a much better day than mine!! xoxo
What is so special about Valentines Day? Is it to have one day of homage to those we love? Don’t we love this or these people any other day? If I am unhappy every other day what could possibly make me happy this day? Is it roses, chocolate, dinner and a movie or dancing? Will my true love be able to atone for all misdeeds on this one day or has love actually turned into an infection that has festered like a deep infected wound to the point requiring amputation. If one negative comment requires at least two positive comments to repair the damage to a persons self esteem then one day a year will make no difference in a relationship that is damaged and barely surviving. Hanging on to what was once more happy times than not and the blessings of children which has somehow changed to the incarceration of two people that spend most of their day contemplating divorce (or death). How can death be any worse than the feelings of being a failure to those who mean the most to you?
Who created valentines day??? it is the most fucked up holliday ever.
