Pressure on the male gender to prove their worth.
Guys are expected to 'perform' on Valentine's Day (www.thebeallawfirm.com).
BY VICTOR PENNEY
Valentine’s Day. If you’re like most guys, those can be two of the scariest words in the English language.
Sure, there are exceptions to that rule. I know one TWW publisher who probably wakes up with a small chubby every Valentine’s Day. He’s like a kid waking up at Christmas, only that it reeks of cheese. But again, he’s an exception here and exceptions prove the rule.
VALENTINE’S DAY IS NOT FOR MEN
A majority of guys want as little to do with Valentine’s as possible. We don’t want to shop. We don’t care about flowers. We don’t want to shell out big bucks for a dinner we don’t really want. And why are we doing it? The only thing we really want out of this day is to get laid, but is it really worth it?
Think about it guys, with all the money you’re expected to dish out, getting your rocks off gets expensive—especially, if she expects you to take her to France or Prague. And when you’re spending all the money just to get laid, shouldn’t you be going to a professional? I mean, there are tons of pros in the Red Light District in Amsterdam and in certain parts of Bangkok.
SCREW VALENTINE’S DAY
The idea of spending money on any chick for Valentine’s Day is ridiculous.
Some experts say the day’s origins appear to go back to St. Valentine: A Roman who was killed for not turning his back on Christianity. Somehow, a box of chocolates and flowers doesn’t seem to line-up with the spirit of that poor fellow.
Some people even have the nerve to call it a holiday—can you believe it? When did it become a holiday? You don’t have that day off work with pay, so it’s not a holiday.
Look guys, anyone woman who puts a gun to your head, looking for you to perform—she’s not worth it. RUN!
Besides, why is it all on the men to perform here? Do we really need another day where we’re forced to tell women how special they are? Television shows and movies do that enough already. Why can’t this be a day for men? Get me a beer and make me some dinner—that’s all I want. Screw you, Hallmark. iT!
