Call me Mr. Grouchy, but I really hate Valentine’s day. If you’re in a new relationship it’s a pain to figure out what the right thing to do is. If you’re in an established relationship then it’s a fake event designed to artificially force romance. And if you’re not in a relationship, then it does nothing but make you feel bad about that fact. It’s up there with New Year’s eve as an overly hyped event that nobody enjoys as much as they think they should. Like I said – Mr Grouchy.
This image from Bakerman at least looks like a fun way to celebrate it. I’m not into sploshing or food play, but I’d happily take a cake in the face from a kinky lady over an evening jammed shoulder to shoulder in a restaurant charging twice their usual rates.
This was originally published by Bakerman for Valentine’s day in 2017.
As a person who’s not into this commercially supercharged made-up couples’ day I’m glad that here in Finland it’s celebrated as a “friendship day”. Of course some people do take extra steps for their relationships but still most cards etc. are about paying attention to friends far and near.
Interesting. I’d not heard of that approach to it, but it makes a lot more sense to me. Friendships aren’t often discussed in comparison with the endless focus on romantic relationships, so it’d be nice to have a day with that slant.
Thanks for commenting and sharing that.
