I agree. Valentine's Day is stupid. I hate any holiday where I'm mandated to do anything. I've actually only had one girlfriend where I experienced V-Day, and we never did anything.
And man, women like to complain that men are complicated, and holy shit is that such bullshit. Guys are SO fucking uncomplicated it's ridiculous. If a woman wants to keep her man happy, all she has to do is make you food, be nice, and keep the sex going. That's it. What does a guy have to do to keep a girl happy? WHO THE FUCK KNOWS. Even women don't know.

Growing up, movies & TV made it seem like all men wanted to do was fuck every girl walking, and were so complicated, and complete monsters. Then women on the other hand were so innocent, and just wanted to love and be loved, and weren't that into sex, and just wanted to settle down with a family.
However, once I became an adult I realized what a complete crock that all was. I find out that women dig sex not only as much as men, but probably more. That when they're young, the majority would rather eat a brick than be monogamous, and only want to settle down later once they realize they've been living off their looks their whole life, and now as those slip, they have no education or skills, and need a man. They're also very stupid, and rather mean. Like, how many times have you experienced, or heard about a guy & a girl dating, or hanging out and occasionally fooling around, and then she's at a party, blows a guy, and acts like you're an idiot for being pissed off? I mean, they never want a label of something like "girlfriend" or whatever, so that way they can fuck around on you without being held responsible.
Obviously there are women out there who are not like this, but I find the majority is. Do you guys?

I dunno, there are a lot like that, but women are individuals so there are exceptions to everything.
Something I've noticed recently is how men have turned into pussies. Most of my friends are married and they might as well be dead. Forget hanging out every night, we're talking about MAYBE once a month.
Friend of mine texts me the other night bitched that he's going crazy because he's at a SHOWER. Are you kidding me? When the hell did men start going to showers? When did women start even wanting them to be there??
And with all these guys it is like they are so glad someone married them that they are terrified to rock the boat.

I despise valentine's day!!!! First, you have to get your significant other a gift usually flowers or chocolate and sometimes jewelry. Twice, I had my girlfriend (2 different ones) forget to give me something on that day and gave it to me later in the week. Second, you have to take them out or do something romantic. All restaurants are super expensive that day. Thus, I try to do it the weekend before or after especially if it's mid-week. Third, what is the big reward after doing all of this? Nothing really special happens. Fourth, if you don't have a significant other, it makes the day even worse many times because all you see on TV is loving the other person.
I had one girlfriend that never really gave a shit about the day because as she said "You can treat someone like a queen for one day, but what about if they treated you like shit the other 364 days of the year?" So she purposely tried to find someone that made her feel special the entire year. I eventually married her but later I found out that you must treat her "special" all 365 days of the year and that just got to be way too expensive.

My biggest complaint in life is the whole "If you love me, you would buy me X" especially when it comes to weddings.
1)The person who came up with the 2-months salary for a ring is an asshole. Engagement rings weren't started until about 75 years ago. And how come the guy always has to propose and buy the ring. My ring was only $150. If the girl really wants to get married, then have her propose.
2)My wedding was 125 people came and 150 people invited. That cost about 20k and the wedding wasn't even that spectacular. It was in an average hotel on a sunday afternoon. No guy really cares about the linens and the centerpieces and the guest gifts. 1/3 of the people there my ex-wife nor I could never tell you who they really are because they are distant cousins or friends of parents.
3) The whole wedding dress thing is a huge scam. I rented my tux for about $150. Her dress was $3k. She only wore it once and said that she wanted to save it to show our future kids someday. She even said that maybe our future daughter could wear it on her wedding day. I wanted to tell her "then why arent you wearing your mom's dress and what if we only have sons?" Her preservation of the dress was more than my renting of the tux.
4) the entire wedding with ceremony and reception only lasted 5 hours. Why spend all that money for 5 hours?
4) Instead of 20k on the wedding, her parents could have given us a small wedding for say 5k and given us the other 15k for a down payment on a house.

Oh man, Scotty. Tell me about it, the whole 'men being pussies' ordeal. It's so fucking true. Men aren't men in the slightest anymore. My hero, Adam Carolla, wrote a book called In 50 Years We'll All Be Chicks, and holy shit is that true. Men can't fix flats, men shave their chests, men cow-tow to their women's every demand, it's pathetic.
Mr. David, good to have you aboard, first of all. Second of all, man alive, your case is EXACTLY why I never, EVER want to be married. I mean, 20k! 20k for a fucking party! Then you guys end up getting divorced anyway, which I'm sure was expensive as hell too. I will never be married, at least not legally. And if she wants a cermony, well we're going to Vegas and getting married by Elvis. Romance enough.
Say, David, I read in another thread that you're a teacher. High school, right? How is it? That's something I always thought I'd enjoy, teaching high school.

I actually enjoy Valentines Day, esspecially if you're with the right person, but I do enjoy it more when me and her are doing things for each other on that day and it's not just all on me. I dunno, it's just a nice day to be silly, stupid romantic and I actually enjoy buying gifts for people, maybe ven more than getting gifts. It. Can suck being single on V Day but I try and find a date on that day, which is honestly not that hard, it may sound cliche but women do not like being alone on Valentines Day. I have a blind double dat coming up Thursday with a married couple I'm friends with, we'll see how it goes.
Yeah the whole wedding thing can be an ordeal, I was engaged but that broke apart but I do know about the planning and the ring cost (I wish I had just spent $150 on my ring, at least I got it back and was able to get some of my money back). If I ever do get married I do want it to be something small with just close friends and relatives. No reason to invite my second cousin twice removed that I haven't seen since I was a kid.

magoonie: the ring I got her was 3k plus diamond; ring she got me was $150 @caliber: I teach middle school 7/8th grade history. 8th is easier than 7th because 8th grade counts towards culmination (1 fail and no activities or walking on stage but you still move onto 9th grade). 7th grade is the hardest level to teach imho because many kids don't listen to the teacher and will be downright assholes. I have had several kids come back and actually apologize for their behavior. Many of the kids are great but the kids that don't care just suck. I did HS for one year but had to leave (last hired/first fired); I taught 10th grade history that year. There are 3 types of HS kids: 1) the ones who go off to college or care about school and have to get the B or A; 2) the "I hope to graduate in 4 years" who can go either way and are just happy to get that C/D (these are also the kids who usually do sports and need a certain grade to still be eligible); 3) the "I don't give a shit" who just go to school because they don't want to get a job, are waiting to 16 to dropout, and/or just go to school have fun and be disruptive. I had more students swear to my face in that one year than in the 9 years of doing middle school. A great example of the #2 category: I had several students that were seniors but had to repeat history because they failed it the first time. They just basically flat out said through their actions, "What do I have to get a passing grade and get out of here." On the last day of class when I told everyone their final grades, several went "I got my D. Whoohoo I am out of here." then they either said "Have a nice life teach" or "fuck you teach" If you a class of kids in #1, that is an absolutely wonderful class. If you have a bunch of #3, it's the class from hell. In that year, I had a white supremacist in the class who everyone knew was pro-hitler and would say so when I taught world war 2. I caught 2 students having sex in the bathroom. I had a 17 year old student with some of the biggest coughbookscough I had ever seen and some of the most inappropriate school attire and she loved to sit in the front row of my class (she gave me a you are great teacher letter at the end of the year). I had 2 lesbians that loved to kiss all the time in the halls. It really all depends on the school and classes you get at the HS. Many of the students were great but some were so obnoxious.

Weddings are ridiculous. The CAKE costs like $1,000. For a CAKE! If I paid that much, I'd better jizz my pants when I eat it.

I'd imagine things are crazy in high-school these days with how overly-sexualized they are now. I mean, my high school days were only 10 years ago, and within those 10 years, holy shit man, they look & dress like porn stars. I was born 10 years too early.
I must say, is there any more group angrier and obnoxious than wrestling fans? People are losing their goddamn minds over some of my ratings on that Undertaker DVD. I mean, they're getting mad over * that! An asterisk! It's ridiculous. Then you have morons [well, pretty much only Cultstatus] who still think I ripped off Cracked. Even though I see it everyday, I'm still shocked how stupid people can be.

High school is not any more or less sexual than 10 years ago (when I taught high school). One example was when we doing the annual earthquake drill and one student originally refused to getting under the desk because boys might see her underwear (she wore a very short skirt). The biggest difference now is the sexting and posting not so appropriate pictures of yourself & others on the internet. However, kids are still the same. Instead of passing notes in class, they text in class.

Regarding the undertaker DVD, wrestling fans and overall people in general, if you don't agree with them on everything, they are shocked and dumbfounded. Thus, I don't get too worked up over people's opinions on stuff. For example, take the Oscars. People complained when X movie wasn't nominated or that Y movie won. Whose life is going to change because you disagree about one thing with another person. I love watching NCIS and the office and can't stand Big Bang Theory or 30 rock; however people get so worked up over if you like or dislike those shows.

Yeah Caliber, the responses in that Undertaker thread was a little ridiculous. They got kinda worked up over some match ratings that they didn't agree with. Actually I think it comes down to less what they thought it was and more that your ratings differed so much from Scotts. I get the feeling some of the guys (not all) take their cues on how good a match is based on Scott's ratings. Whether I'm right or not, it's all opinions, nobody is right or wrong when it comes to star ratings, it's somebody's opinion on the match. It's just silly to take it seriously, I didn't feel the same way as you on a bunch of those matches but I'm not going to call you out on it.
As for the Cracked thing Caliber don't let it bother you, as long as you know you didn't plagiarize it then fuck the rest of them. I will give you one piece of advice, stop responding to people about it. Just let it go and don't feed the troll like behavior.
