What exactly is so special about Valentine’s Day that makes half of the world go mad and do things out of their way just to make their better half feel special? We don’t mean to offend you but Valentine’s week is one of the stupidest things on the face of the Earth. Let us walk you through it so we can explain our point better. It might just help you and leave your wallet heavy, the way it should be. These reasons will tell you why Valentine’s Day is annoyingly overrated.
#1 The Valentine’s week!
First of all, who came up with this thing and why? That person had to make things difficult for a man like it wasn’t already difficult to handle relationships and make their other half feel pampered. Pretty sure that person had a lot of money on him. Anyway, moving on to the first day, that’s Rose day. A rose that costs you not more than twenty bucks is sold for triple the amount and that’s just a start because not all girls are going to be happy with just ONE rose. You’ve got to save up for this damned week!

Next is Propose Day and man, is anything scarier than that? There is, and it’s coming for you. But talking about Propose day, you can’t do that empty handed, so you need to get a gift and there’s only one thing that comes to our mind, a ring. Look at you, already sweating and oh, remember, the ring should be the perfect size and type. All the best with that!

Up next is Chocolate Day, you know what that means? A chocolate will make your girl happier than you will. That one might hurt. You can take revenge by eating that chocolate and never let your girl have it. But you’re safe if your girlfriend has recently joined gym. You just got lucky.

The second most annoying day after Valentine’s Day goes to Teddy Day. The day that makes you look stupid and you’re probably okay with it. Carrying a big ass teddy that cost you half your pocket money, how can you not wipe your tears off of that thing? You deserve that much!

We just told you that that there’s something scarier than Propose Day and it’s coming for you. Well, it’s here and in the Valentine’s language, it’s called Promise Day. Now, remember, if your better half asks you to make a promise, choose your words wisely and please don’t use the word ‘forever’. That’d be a really stupid thing to do because they WILL remember the ‘promise’. Do not take this lightly; after all, you got yourself into this mess.

The next two days are what people (mostly men) actually wait for and want to celebrate, Hug Day followed by Kiss Day. And not in a desperate manner, but because men actually prefer these two things more than chocolates, teddy bears, roses and all that, no two ways about it!

The last and the most important day (only God knows why), Valentine’s Day, is the day of love. But we’re still unable to understand why it is so special. You don’t need a specific set of days to pamper your better half or a specific day to tell them how much you love them or how much they matter to you. That can be done any day of the year!

Other than that, it gets annoying seeing the colour red every damn where! There’s no compulsion to wear red and especially be all match-matchy! That’s not cool.
#2 Expectations are on the rise!
That goes without saying, after all the drama you’ve been doing for a week, expectations are always on a rise and sadly your pocket isn’t. And everybody knows how problematic both the things are. It’s always hard to keep up with someone’s expectations and to meet them is just another story. So, if your better half is expecting something from you, be ready to entertain them.

#3 Prices of gifts by thieving corporates touch new heights every year
That’s true you know, these corporates have a week of season for the sale of their ‘Valentine’s Day special’ products and heck, they make the most of it! Everything from greeting cards to all types of gifts is sold at a price that would give you second thoughts on being in a relationship. As annoying as it is, it’s funny for a person who is free from all this, hence a single, not-committed-to-anyone man!

But if you’re reading this and are still going to celebrate Valentine’s Day, we respect that and we hope you have good one!
