Comments on Bannable Offenses: I Warned You

2009-02-17T21:47:00.000-08:00

Valentine's Day was something I looked forward to...Flowers, the candy(not the cheap stuff), dinner at a very nice place...sex never entered the conversation. I treated the woman like a princess and I was "rewarded" for my efforts. I am single now, tried that (along with no mention of sex) and the woman looked at me like I was a Galka in a subligar. It's seemingly no longer about romance...more like $$$. I think being single is more of a gift than a curse. Valentine's Day is now a regular day...cheaper too.

You men that stress over Valentine's Day set yourselves up to fail.

Set the bar reallllllly low when you first start dating. If you go out and buy a bunch of flowers, candy, etc for the first one - you have to top it the next year. That is a losing battle! Cook your other half dinner and actually dress up in a clean shirt! Score - you win points for "pampering" - and "respecting her needs".

So, if you can't cook - do what women have done for generations - order take out - pour it out onto pretty little plates - hide the take out boxes - and pretend you cooked! Ya ya - we do it - we just don't tell you we do it! Heh heh!

Now if you have already blown it and you are stuck in the "shop for me you ??? cycle" - then here are a few cool tips of "creative gifts" - dinner out, theater tickets, concert tickets, lunch/dinner cruise (if you live near water), bed & breakfast over night, live music at a club, art/music festivals, comedy club, or the like.

Never EVER buy her clothes (cuz most guys suck donkey balls at buying women clothes). Perfume is cool - but it shouldn't be so cheap it smells like bug spray!

Happy Shopping!

Dyamalos: We're out there. Honest. Gamer guys rock. :)

Why exactly do women think it's okay to not get anything for a guy on Valentine's Day?

AMEN, Dave, AMEN!

Me & my husband have been boycotting this stupid holiday as long as we've been together -- we don't need one special day to prove we love each other.

er...though I admit that I did sort of surprise him this Valentine's Day by gifting his game toon with most of the game-cash needed for his upgraded flying mount. Now THAT'S true love. :)

no, no, i didn't buy the gold; it was legitimately quest- & monster- grinded. yeesh.

2009-02-15T17:03:00.000-08:00

The only girl I've ever found that was a gamer was a full blown butch lesbian.

Any of the other girls I've met usualy seem to find it weird that I play games.

Sigh..... Singles Awareness Day.... woo...

Oh, and I'm so glad I wasn't the only one to call it that... Although... I've never met anyone who does...

2009-02-15T13:08:00.000-08:00

I'd be all for Steak and BJ day if my husband and I didn't both agree Valentine's day is too commercialized and protest by not getting each other gifts or cards, so that was pretty much what he got for V-day anyway...

yep. these guys need better women. and btw... gold...

2009-02-14T17:49:00.000-08:00

yep. these guys need better women. and btw... gold and diamonds make me sad... waaaaaaaaaaaay overrated, just like JAFO i'm sure. >.>

2009-02-14T16:59:00.000-08:00

I was all alone for valentines day.

Oh yeah, minus the epic gaming day with mates.

Cheap food, xbox and pokemon ftw

I hate flowers. I hate jewelry. (Well okay I like ...

2009-02-14T13:54:00.000-08:00

I hate flowers. I hate jewelry. (Well okay I like the stainless steel horseshoes adorning my septum and lip. Not quite the same.) I hate romantic comedies. (Much prefer horror, action, sci-fi, and anime.)

Cards...wtf seriously? I'm supposed to be grateful for these? I feel guilty throwing them away but after I read them I promptly perceive them as trash. This isn't okay! Why would you do this to anyone?

My Valentines plans are comprised of: it's Saturday, my day off. I'm going to strip the paint off my nids with brake fluid, piece together my carnifex, look for wings for my hive tyrant that look more akin the type they have on forge world (ugh balrog wings please... no), play some XI with my SO.

To be fair my guy gifted me a couple of citadel paints I needed and a hummus bagel for Valentines. Rock! In exchange I will see to it he's paid back in kind. Or better. ;3

Ya'll just need better women. Or to be grateful you don't have to put up with the alternative. >_>

Well...there's a day for you guys too, it's on Mar...

2009-02-13T17:06:00.000-08:00

Well...there's a day for you guys too, it's on March 14th. It's called "Steak and BJ Day", you might wanna look that one up. ;)

2009-02-13T11:37:00.000-08:00

Yeah, we long ago gave up on "going out" for Valentine's Day. To bust too crowded. I think this year we're inviting our friends over to come play Rock Band 2.

2009-02-13T10:52:00.000-08:00

Lucky for me my Fiancee doesn't like wasting that money, so my gift to her is I make dinner and her gift to me is making desert, so it works for me.

O.o I wouldn't be caught dead out on V-day. A coup...

2009-02-13T10:41:00.000-08:00

O.o I wouldn't be caught dead out on V-day. A couple of years ago my husband tried to take me to a nice place... they said it'd be an hour something wait. I'm pretty sure I suggested just getting Burger King or something.

First, to JAFO:Putting out. They're doing it wrong...

2009-02-13T10:35:00.000-08:00

First, to JAFO:

Putting out. They're doing it wrong.

And now...

Know what I want from my hubby for Valentine's Day? A day to run an instance or three without having to pause every five seconds to go see what my daughter is dragging me into the kitchen for. Usually he's instancing and I'm running around after her. Saturday is HIS turn. That's all I want. No gifts, no fancy dinner. Just a day to play the way I want without having to worry about everything else. That'd ROCK.

And he's getting a gift on Valentine's Day, too. He's getting a few books he really really wants.

And I may or may not be putting out (the proper kind, not the kind like JAFO mentioned). Like I'm going to tell you sickos. :P

Okay. I will be. (I'm a sicko too)

2009-02-13T09:28:00.000-08:00

You know, Dave? I'm single, and I honestly don't mind. Why is that? Read your post. You just listed pretty much every reason I have.

2009-02-13T09:03:00.000-08:00

I'm a chick, and I fucking hate Valentine's day. It has got to be the lamest, stupidest .. ok, to make a long stupid story very short -- cupid needs black wings and poison darts to jam in people's eyes. That's what I think.

I'm all for Steak & Blow Job day for the guys though, yep, all for it.

2009-02-13T07:23:00.000-08:00

Good luck GM Dave, I personally will be celebrating Singles Awareness Day. *cries alone*

2009-02-13T07:14:00.000-08:00

It's so damn true. I'm a girl, and the attitudes that my friends/acquaintances have about "Oh, he's taking me to ~here~" or "Oh, there's this ~necklace~ that I just have to have!" make me want to beat them over the head with a nailed board.

Rusty nails.

Screw Valentine's Day. I'd much rather have a normal, laid-back Saturday. Playing WoW (*cough*). :P

2009-02-13T06:34:00.000-08:00

Bah, Valentines... Being rather discomfited by romantic gestures and the like as it is, I find myself constantly scoffing at the varied commercials featured this time of year.

Jewelry commercials, in particular.

"He went to Jareds!"

"Every Kiss begins with K...~"

... what in the world is an overpriced sliver of colorless (if sparkly) rock going to prove to me? Yes, Diamonds are forever, or some rot.. but I prefer pearls.. and don't wear the ones I have as it is. :P It's money that can go to more vital things.

And I'm a weird chick, I guess.. I'm the sort that would rather give flower/flowers to someone I like.. :/

2009-02-13T04:55:00.000-08:00

I don't know why women think their alleged "putting out" is such an amazing deal.
It should be called "lay on my back while you work your ass off" instead of "putting out".
Even when they do something, its never for very long, 3-5 minutes, tops.
So to all women, even mine, thank you for giving me 30-45 minutes of the horizontal version of a cardio workout...and then YOU get tired before I "arrive" and we have to stop...yeah...thanks...love you too sweety...

2009-02-13T04:44:00.000-08:00

Now there IS a holiday just for the men, so we women can get great stuff for Valentine's day. Do a great job on Feb 14th and then March 14th is all about you!

2009-02-13T03:20:00.000-08:00

Well... I am spending V-day alone. Not because I am single but because my boyfriend doesn't feel like doing anything. Screw him.

2009-02-13T02:32:00.000-08:00

The whole one-sidedness is one of the reasons I'm single. I want to find a girl who's fine with just a romantic day spent together instead of expecting me to lavish her with gifts on every occasion just because society says so. If a girl needs to be given gifts all the time to stay with a guy, what does that say about her love for him?

Unfortunately I happen to be a teenager, and all my peers happen to be shallow. Ah well. I've got a hard drive full of gifts to me.

I didn't even realize it was Valentines Day. Oh well, back to my pr0n.

2009-02-12T23:38:00.000-08:00

Screw Valentines day.

If I want to give my wife a gift I do it because I feel like it not because some halfwit invented a "sell all your crappy red roses day".
