The reminders start early and last for WEEKS on END! telling you that this is THE most romantic VD ever. They would have you think that nothing says “I love you” like a preprinted card and a box of chocolates that have been sitting on the shelf for aeons. OH! And how can we forget the jewelry? If your hunnie doesn’t give you a nice rock, he must not love you as much!
Bullshit. I don’t need/wear jewelry, I don’t need my ass to get any bigger, and I don’t need a card that somebody ELSE wrote. I’d rather have the small moments every day that show care and consideration. If you want me to wear sexy lingerie, buy it for YOUR BIRTHDAY.
I don’t want a guy with 6-pack abs. Sexy? That would be the guy cooking dinner while the kids play outside and I take a bath. All by myself. (Yeah, I know. But isn’t that what fantasies are all about????)
