Hopefully y’all took care of your wives and girlfriends better than I did this year, they do put up with us taking up the whole garage with our spare parts and jackstands year round.

Eh, it’s a two way street. We put up with their bs too. Valentine’s Day is about both, not just the woman.


That said, I’m sitting at home and ain’t doing sh*t. Lol.

We're skipping it but I'm thinking I might introduce her to that classic movie Orgazmo. She's never seen it. It's sort of a romance flick..

Man, that takes me back. Lol

100% spot on, EVERY holiday is about females in this modern society, there are zero expectations for women, when do men get a day? fathers day? thats a joke, there is no pressure for women to buy or do anything for men on fathers day, nothing like it is for men on Mothers day, Valentines day, Christmas, your anniversary, their birthday, Sweetest day, etc etc, it goes on and on and on, men put up with way more of their bs then they put up with ours, all that women have to "put up with" is "allowing" men to spend THEIR time and money on their hobbies, and maybe even "allowing" them to enjoy the occasional company of their friends, Men have allowed this nonsense to become a thing, not THIS one, everything has to be 50/50 or you can get bent, in fact that goes for any and all relationships with me, male or female.

150% correct. This is why divorces and single parents are the highest they've ever been. This culture of "serve the woman" led to a bunch of females with egos the size of galaxies, and dudes who are either beta AF(which no woman wants a beta, whatever they may publicly state), or womanizing douchebags. Women were treated like gold, back when they deserved to be treated like gold because they were supportive, loving, and shared the burdens/weights. This led to our current predicament where they feel like they should be catered to like gods but not do anything to EARN it.


I'm beyond words thankful my wife is cool AF. She's supportive of everything I do, she understands that it's my money and I'm gonna spend it however TF I want and I don't need her permission for a GD thing. She keeps the house in check and helps me when I really need that voice of reason. In return, I keep her apprised of plans I have of spending money so she isn't surprised, I make sure all the bills are paid and foods in the house so she knows we're not gonna be homeless and starving, and honestly I genuinely enjoy her company as a result because I never...not a single time...get nagged. Because she trusts me and knows she provided for. It's an awesome 50/50 partnership and life would be beyond words harder without her.

All the ranting aside, I genuinely feel sorry for my fellow males that are single or in the dating game in this horrid modern world. My heart goes out to you brothers, and you're braver than I am. If I was single right now in this world, I'd be single by choice and remain that way. It's a damn minefield out there.

Sorry about the touchy subject guys, was just tryin to joke about getting my old lady some wiper blades for a gift.

It sounds like you have a good deal, your either lucky or luck had nothing to do with it and you just made an understanding between the two of you, either spoken or unspoken, my feelings are probably from observing my own parents, my dad was a mans man and did what he really wanted to do, all he had to do is tell my mom where he was going to be like hunting, fishing etc and many times she would send us along with him to get us out of her hair for the day, but in any case she didnt have any problem with him doing what he pretty much wanted, not that they didnt fight, but it wasn't over him doing what he wanted, he pretty much laid down the rules and she enforced them, as it should be.

Agreed with everything here.

I'm not angry or touchy, I'm just a passionate guy by nature. When I speak about things, I tend to speak with great passion. People tend to assume that means I'm angry/defensive/whatever. Don't read too much into it.

Those are some nice blades!

Wait you guys don’t get anything from your girls?

We normally don’t do much just a little both ways. This year I thought I was going to surprise her and earn some ah-ha points for the next surprise car part purchase, so I replaced the gold bracelet I got her for Xmas that somehow disappeared from her wrist two days after Xmas, (it is dainty so we think it snapped off somewhere) and what did she have sitting there waiting for me? A new PS5.
Definitely was not expecting that! Thanks babe.

I took myself out to eat and had a nice day with MYSELF. Being single has its advantages!!! I'll treat myself today too!

Ha, she actually enjoyed it.
I surprise myself sometimes.
And apparently I reply to myself sometimes too.

I say we all send Marty a V-day card next year. He's our collective valentine.

Im definitely the romantic one, but since my wife hates commercial holidays and her own birthday, there isnt much in the way of celebrating Valentines Day. There have been exchanges of candy or other sweets in the past because one of us might have come across something on the way home. My wife likes video games anime and cars so shopping Christmas and birthdays is as easy as picking out stuff for myself....but these types of holidays, we're more likely to shower a single girlfriend or single mom friend (or someone else who appreciates those type of holidays) with flowers and candy, etc, then we are each other.
