Happy MGTOW day brothers!

By choosing to celebrate MGTOW day, you saved yourself $150 on a dinner at a ridiculously over-priced restaurant. $60 on a bottle of champagne/wine. $20 on a bouquet of flowers. $30 on cab/uber. You probably also saved $100 on new clothes, $50 on a pre-date haircut and shave. You must certainly saved yourself from getting stood-up, spending on a thot who might never sleep with you and false rape allegations. Countless other benefits.

May this lifestyle grow so big that we officially replace V-day with MGTOW day on the calendar. Cheers!

I saved all that because my wife & I care to spend Valentine's day in other ways. She even said she prefers me to surprise her with things on days other than Valentine's day, like out of the blue stop by her work with some of her favorite candy.

But it sounds to me that if you're paying that much for a date with someone who you don't know that well in hopes that you get sex, then you're trying too hard. Just don't be disappointed when your "investment" doesn't pay off. If you really wanted to make it special, you could cook a nice dinner for her and rent a romantic movie. If she's girlfriend material then she'd appreciate the effort.

@Musicalbookworm: "Oh, and I would never want to go out for dinner on Valentine's day. Too crowded and just too cutesy." Oh my god, for absolute sure! Boyfriend and I have been out for precisely one Valentine's Day dinner, and it wasn't worth it. It was at a Chinese restaurant that has made delicious food every time we've been, and this time was no exception. But they inflated their prices for the meal for two on Valentine's. I forget how much it cost, but it was enough to smart. They brought out a lot more food, as if to compensate, but the thing is, boyfriend and me are the type never to leave food on the plate if we can help it. It's wasteful to buy food you don't eat and it's kinda criminal to leave food when there are starving people in the world (yadda yadda, I know, but that's how we roll). So much food came out for our table that it ended up a grim effort to eat as much as we could, and we left too stuffed to do anything other than lay like snakes on the couch at home, digesting.

We decided never to do that again. Since then, we either ignore Valentine's completely or I cook something at home. It's nice :)

Going back to 1. MGTOW celebrating Valentine's Day their own way, and 2. my one and only VDay meal, next to us there was a table of five men who seemed to be having a great time. Perhaps the MGTOWs should go out for dinner en masse?

You know, despite having had several relationships over the years, I've never celebrated Valentine's day. I don't care that much, and my partners never seemed to either. And while I'm not exactly poor, those prices seem seriously out of whack. (The commentary on prices below is based on US dollars, but even if it's Canadian or Australian dollars, my equivalent prices would be roughly 25% higher right now, which isn't really that much.)

$150 for dinner? Don't think I've ever gone over $35 for a dinner for two, not counting tips. Usually I pay my share, but occasionally it's their treat or mine.

$60 for wine? My favorite wine (Espiral) costs $5 a bottle, and I don't think I've ever gone above $15 on drinks. And I always pay for my own, unless it's their house and they're serving. I also don't normally drink while I'm out on a dinner date, mostly at parties or public events where I'm not a designated driver, or at-home dinners.

$20 on flowers? Never gotten flowers nor asked for any. If anyone had ever done so or asked about it, I would have told them to please not give me any dying plants unless they're edible. Would accept a live houseplant, though.

$30 for cab/Uber? Don't know if that's accurate, never needed one.

$100 for new clothes? If anyone's ever worn new clothes for a date with me, I've never noticed. Then again, a lot of relationships haven't lasted long enough for me to know what outfits they normally have. I do buy a new "special occasion" outfit about every other year, but rarely for any specific occasion. I think it went up to something like $120 once, but it's usually more like $60. Also, half the time it's lingerie, so unless the date's at an adults-only party or sex club, you won't see me wearing it until we get home.

$50 on pre-date haircut and shave? What, you seriously can't shave yourself? And if you happen to need a haircut, $15-$20 is good enough.

While I can't say the same for everyone, you don't need to bribe me with food or displays of wealth to get into my pants. If anything, I'd take a very obvious attempt to do so as an insult. Just don't stink or be covered in filth, don't wear ratty or offensive clothes, and do display signs of being a decent human being at all times. I'd say "you'd be surprised how few people clear that low bar", except if you're reading this site, you probably wouldn't be surprised at all.

As a secondary response to this...

My Valentine's Day was spent like this: at lunchbreak from work I went into town to find that Cadbury's had one of those distribution pods and were giving away Dairy Milk bars for free. So I walked past once and got one, then walked past again and got a second one. I ate one for lunch.

Then, after work, my evening meal was about as unromantic as it gets: overpriced chips with cheesy beans in a greasy spoon that happens to have an upstairs area to sit in while I wait to go to college. Ate there in an otherwise-empty room while playing a game on an app on my phone, went to college, then went home and gave boyfriend the other chocolate bar. He said thanks and put it away in the cupboard for whenever he fancies it.

Then we made love later in the evening.

I can guarantee the above was a more pleasant experience than going out with monster797.
