Why do some people think that Valentines day is dumb, gay, or stupid?

There are a few reasons.  Most often, it is due to the fact that they don't have what they wish they had on Valentine's Day.  It is possible that not enough of thier friends or family may be sending them "love" on Valentine's Day. Or they are sad because they think that Valentine's Day is about sharing the day with a significant other (boyfriend, girlfriend, fiance, husband, wife...), and they either don't have one or don't have one who shows enough appreciation on this day.\n\nOn the other hand, some people don't like Valentine's Day because it is another conspiracy made my candy and flower companies to take our money.  They may believe that love should be shown all the time, rather than held to one specific day.  And, the love that is shown when it isn't expected may seem even more special to them than if people are showing it because they are supposed to and they are reminded to.

It is believed to date back to when the Romans decided single men made better soldiers and forbade young men to marry.  Valentine arranged secret weddings and was thrown in jail to be executed.  While there he supposedly fell in love with a woman and wrote her a letter signed from your Valentine.  Yes it can be depressing for any of us single LOL

well havent you ever heard "dumb as a box of rocks" because the rocks are idiots and get beat up by the paper all the time for their lunch money so they are afraid to stand up to the paper. and cause the rocks forgot to give the scissors their protection money to save them from the paper\n\nbasicaly the scissors got broken when they forgot to give the paper their rock protection money. so every body dies when the jerk in the crowd does the wavy lava thing and says ha, lava, you all lose.\n\nPS(then the water came and all hell broke loose)\n\nand thats how the grinch saved valentines day.(but little Cindy Loo who, poped a cap in the side of his head) so he fell on the rock, paper, scissors, lava, and the water. its all fundamentals man, get it together.

No, not really (playing devils advocate here) \n\nI have seen about 10 questions at least asking what to get someone for Valentines Day.  At least all this merchandise gives these people something to give!  I like to buy a big heart box for my husband and little boxes for my kids & maybe a stuffed animal for them and I'm glad these are available!

I think that there should be a day of the year made for men.  I mean it's rather unfair for us to have to deal with Valentine's without any day set aside for us.  I say we get "Steak & BJ day" put onto every calendar in the U.S.  Trust me, the men would finally be grateful, and we may even be a little more enthusiastic when Valentine's rolls around.

St. Valentine's Day falls on February 14, and is the traditional day on which lovers in certain cultures let each other know about their love, commonly by sending Valentine's cards, which are often anonymous. The history of Valentine's day can be traced back to a Catholic Church feast day, in honor of Saint Valentine. The day's associations with romantic love arrived after the High Middle Ages, during which the concept of romantic love was formulated.\n\nThe day is now most closely associated with the mutual exchange of love notes in the form of "valentines." Modern Valentine symbols include the heart-shaped outline and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, the practice of hand writing notes has largely given way to the exchange of mass-produced greeting cards. The Greeting Card Association estimates that, world-wide, approximately one billion valentine cards are sent each year, making the day the second largest card-sending holiday of the year behind Christmas. The association also estimates that women purchase approximately 85 percent of all valentines.

Maybe because it's a Pagan holiday? Don't say it's stupid before asking him the details of why. I personally don't like how commercialized the holiday has become. It's not about spending money, it's about spending time with your loved ones. It's Jesus' birthday, not ours, so exchanging material is so very trife.

Because they want to get in everyone's faces about their gayness.  Just look at the St. Patrick's Day Parade in New York.  You do not see banners saying "Irish-American Animal Lovers" or Irish-American Headbangers" or "Irish-Americans Who Watch Cartoons" or anything else like that, because the parade is not about any of those things.  But the gays think they should have their own banner, so the attention will be focused on them.

They're just flowers. It's the thought that counts anyway.....don't let flowers ruin your Valentines Day!

Some guys do and they are complete jerks. Mature women understand when a man cannot afford a lavish gift for the holidays. I graduate on 12/10, Christmas is 12/25, my birthday is 1/26 and Valentine's Day is 2/14.  Thats a lot of freaking gifts in a short period! I have already explained to my boyfriend that I do not expect gifts for all those days and that him just being there is enough.

The people who break up on Valentines day over a gift(or lack there of) are destined to break up anyway....Valentines is just an excuse.

because many people are scared of what they dont know and anything that isnt in the 'norm' they tend to become ignorant about. like if they go near a gay person they might become one or catch something. if only they could open their closed minds a bit and see that gay people are just like the rest of us they have hearts and they have feelings too. we can only pray that one day we all be treated as equals.

Self justification.  Same reason people call themselfs sexy, and they just are not.  People are generally.... dumb.
