		<description><![CDATA[A girl I&#039;ve been gaming for some time had her birthday around Valentine&#039;s Day.  My nickname for her is Zombie Chick because she has this weird stare.

She&#039;s been giving me IOI&#039;s and constantly flirting for months.  

She came out to a party on Valentine&#039;s Day I was hosting.  I approached her and very seriously said...&quot;I have something very special for you&quot;.

I stared intently into her eyes as I handed it to her.  &quot;Save it for later, open it at home.&quot;

She became nervous saying &quot;but my birthday has passed&quot;---shit test...

&quot;Then wait another 364 days and open it then&quot; I said, smiled and walked away.

She was thrilled at the idea of having a gift.

I wonder what her reaction was when she opened it to find it was the Zombie Dictionary, complete with an interactive audio file entitled &quot;Speak Zombie&quot;.

I&#039;d read about Feigning Beta Provider game where you act like you&#039;re beta by giving a gift but it turns out to be some complete surprise...

We didn&#039;t contact each other since then....hamster spinning...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Your interpretation of the social construct of Valentine&#039;s Day is biased by your own pre-existing assumptions, which frankly sound dangerously close to misogynistic.

We are happily married.  My husband and I both got each other suitable cards with neither much stress nor fanfare, and we both enjoyed them. He got flowers, I made dinner reservations.  We both took the time to cherish and celebrate our love, and had a nice evening.

One of my colleagues celebrated with his whole family (wife + 2 kids) with a dinner out.  They took the time to cherish and celebrate their love, and had a nice evening.

		<description><![CDATA[I just loved all of the facebook pictures of the girls getting wined and dined at fancy restaurants. They weren&#039;t pics of couples, they were pics of the girls alone, all dressed up sitting in obviously expensive restaurants.

On a side note, I wrestled with the decision to send a chick a V-day text yesterday. I think it might have been to my advantage because:

A) Her boyfriend dumped her a couple of weeks ago

B) She is the sensitive, needy type who is prone to being attracted to beta traits (I have to be careful....even basic teasing is too much for her most of the time)

My motto is &quot;When in doubt, do nothing&quot; so I avoided contact but I have to wonder if in this case it might have worked in my favor. The whole situation is throwing me for a loop because I am so used to dealing with self entitled bitches that I don&#039;t even know how to game a chick who doesn&#039;t have her head in the clouds.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My buddy found a great woman down South a few months ago. She went all out on Valentines Day this year for him. He got a lot of gifts, totaling over $100 easily, and since she knows he&#039;s broke, she legitimately expected nothing in return and was still more than happy when he said he would just make it up to her later on. She&#039;s a giver - and that&#039;s the kind of woman you want to be with. A giver, not a self-centered harpy.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My fiancee knows how I feel about bullshit &quot;holidays&quot; like this, and she is highly unsentimental and knows I won&#039;t be getting her a card, a gift, flowers, chocolate... anything.  Instead, we&#039;re going to the butchers to get a nice pork belly, and she&#039;s going to cook me up an awesome dinner on Saturday.

Of course, one could make the argument that her &quot;lack of sentimentality&quot; is directly proportional to my taking care of shit at home, and that, were I a creepy beta like the gentlemen in the flower ads on TV, then an extravagant show of gift-giving might be required.  Instead, the two of us make fun of these chumps together.

Fellas, if you have a good relationship with your lady(ies) and her girlfriends are single and lonely, you&#039;ve already given her/them the greatest gift of all; the gift of superiority over her friends.  The elation she will get &quot;sympathizing&quot; with her friends&#039; anti-VDay efforts is priceless.

(NB: Plenty of healthy saturated fat in that pork belly, Rollo.  Embrace the lipid.  Eschew the grain.)]]></description>
