How many of you attached guys out there emptied your wallets out again this year for this supposedly romantic day of the year?
I was minding my own business,
wasting my life away mapling as usual when my mum came in and started talking about how dumb guys can be, spending SGD80 bucks on a bouquet of flowers. 80 fricking dollars just for a bouquet of flowers that would probably be thrown away within 24hours.
Mum suggested that if I ever get a girlfriend, I should just take her out for dinner on Valentine's Day and skip the flower giving ceremony because it's much more cost saving, not to mention that those flowers ain't gonna fill anyone's stomach. I agree with her, but then again, that is me, 2006, without a girlfriend.
Can I say the same thing years from now, when I'm attached?
The problem with this whole Love affair is that it seems to make a person stupid. If you love the guy/girl more than he/she loves you, you will get dumber. And trust me, the other party would get smarter. Much much smarter.
I don't mind spending money on the girl I like/love but the problem with this whole deal is that it can get pretty frustrating when you don't even get appreciated for your efforts. Could it get any worse? You betcha.
Just when you thought you've given everything you could to please the other party, he/she scoots, turns his/her back on you and waves a goodbye.
Fun times.
Which comes to the point that 2 smart people can't make up a good equation for love. It just can't work out. Unless you're prepared to be stupid-ified. Given the facts that are presented to us again and again, love makes a person stupid enough to do all the stuff they do. Who in the right mind would spend 80 fricking bucks on a soon-to-be member of the trash can?
Love. You either reign the game or resign to your fate as the jester. In the end, it's all a matter of who is able to play the game better.
