Valentine Season has only just but begun. And some of us are fed up already.
Thursday is the day our social media news feeds will be full of Valentine’s Day quotes and the trivial competitions of “who got what, and how much for?” It’s an event a lot of us could do with out. So why not reclaim our day back? The love posts, gestures of affection, spreading of romance through songs, videos, dances and all that makes some of us sick with disgust.
Though it is a very cutesy, couples-centric time of the year – which forces men in particular to back their ideas and sentiments up, it doesn’t cater for singletons, or those who feel that there should not be ‘one official day’ to show love to your other half.
The anti-romantic movement is just as big as the Hallmark Holiday itself, with dozens of greeting card creators opting for words that will either win over particularly not sappy couples or warm the cockles of lonely hearts.
Don’t get us wrong, we don’t hate love, we just can’t stand the sappiness and mushiness that comes with it. We get that you love someone, okay, great. Leave it at that, please and thank you.
On our end, we have our very own special way to show affection without all the emotions in it.
Whether we are in a relationship or alone, we don’t go by the usual ways to conform to Valentine”s day rituals. So, you should know us by now, we love a bit of dark humor here. If you wanna get in the bandwagon and are particularly disinterested in the Romanticism of Valentine’s Day, we’ve got just the ticket.
We’ve picked out some amusing Valentines Day quotes that do not share the spirit of the day one bit. It’s the anti-Valentines handbook, and it’s all yours to keep.
- “I’m going to spend Valentine’s Day with my true love: food.”
- “I’m happy for all you couples, but I’ll be even happier for me when candy goes on sale tomorrow.”
- “I am so romantic sometimes I think I should just marry myself.”
- “Reminder: All candy will be 50% off tomorrow.”
- “Dear Cupid: Forget the guy, just send the candy.”
- “Roses are red, Violets are blue. Vodka is cheaper than a dinner for two.”
- “You can’t put a price tag on love. But if you could, I’d wait for it to go on sale.”
And my personal favorite, “Here’s to my all time love: Pizza.” 😛 😉
