Most couples will not defy such shabby, pitiful experience. Only those who do not go along with this crap should be admired, and they are a minority.

I'm personally attracted to women who see the holiday as nothing more than a gimmick. That isn't to say that I'm cheap, on the contrary, I'd go above and beyond on relevant occasions, but let's not kid ourselves, Valentines Day is lame! Oh and, I assure you I feel not an ounce of envy being single on such a day lol.
