Cute piece, like the topic. An excellent lesson in "just say no." (Ha!)

In any case, any woman who thinks Valentines Day is fundamentally important to a good relationship...well, I know this sounds harsh, but should be avoided at all cost. A man needs a genuine friend, an advocate, a fan... not a score keeper.

One of the first things my husband and I did when we started dating was agree to abolish this kind of stuff. We buy gifts for each other when they mean something, not when someone else says we have to or else. And that includes anniversaries, Christmas and birthdays. I get fewer gifts, but they are much more important ones because I know he means it.

In any case PD, I'm sorry you haven't found a decent woman. They are few and far between—which to be honest panics me. I have a son. I worry. I pray a lot.

On behalf of all women (even those who would kill me if they found out), I would like to apologize for the petty, narcissistic, its-all-about-me, attention whores we have become.

Now...work on that bitterness part. ; ).

I own two X-Box 360s.

I don't have time to notice the void.

So, where did you meet my ex-girlfriend?
