Should valentine's day just be called women's day?

My ex husband has a great saying that I have always thought was both funny and true:

Women are ALL crazy. Pick a crazy you can live with

^^^^ THIS lol!

This notion that there's a chick out there without issues is just fantasy. All women are fvcked up and all men are fvcked up, so let's just all co-exist in this fvcked up world until our hearts stop beating and we go back to whatever CLOUD we came from.

Never thought I'd agree with Tenacity but he actually proved my point of valentines day being easy as hell to pull chicks on. I am a lifetime seducer and I know for a fact 80% of chicks only want to use you for validation (even when you think it's genuine high interest). But it doesn't have to end there. If you think women don't give up sex for validation, then you lack experience.

So they want to be validated by certain individuals and will give sex to obtain that.

YES! Valentines day should be called "women's day" and we should get flowers and candy and back rubs and expensive dinners and diamonds and ...... there's more, give me a sec to think....

What about you run into that DEEP version of you in a female? Did all the monkey shines, WANTS a connection, WANTS to do right by you, WANTS to cater to her man... They exist.

Ha! Show me an example of this. And is she hot or is she ugly? And how often do you come across these women?

What's funny is that the entire concept of "DEEP" in relation to women comes completely from the MEDIA and ENTERTAINMENT industry.

When you rewind 100 years ago to 1917, there was no DEEP then. Men and Women stayed together longer because they needed each other for survival. The men needed the women in the house due to a lack of technology requiring a significant amount of manual house work. And women needed the men in the field as women couldn't work.

There has never been this concept of "DEEP" or a "soul-mate". That shyt comes completely from the Media and Entertainment industry.

This, in a nutshell. There was never large scale "deep connection". Oh sure, occasionally you hear about a couple staying together 70 years and dying in bed together holding hands at age 95. That seems to be every man's fantasy, but that is incredibly rare, but that myth is where the man-shaming comes from.

"You gonna be single forever/die a lonely old man!"

Got news for ya, there's a 99% chance you're gonna die alone anyway. Alone as in not holding hands with a woman or with your entire family at your bedside.

At least 100 years ago there was the facade of "deep connection" when marriage actually meant something. The woman actually did need men's provisioning and resources purely for survival. Men didn't "need" women as much, but a wife and children and the McMansion were the only thing that made the drudgery of 9-5 worth the 40 year struggle.

Dems and Repubs love to blame each other for unemployment, but it's not just bad economics. This is one of the real reasons that workforce participation is so low. A lot of milennials are willingly choose to not work because a 9-5 life in and of itself isn't a worthy trade-off anymore if you're just coming home to an empty apartment or indulging in sexual "fast food" with sluts every weekend.
