Was Valentine’s Day this year out of the ordinary to you?

[Clockwerk50]

On social media, there were a bunch of couples coming out to the world saying they were together. The restaurants were also packed. It was the first time in a while that I remember people actually “celebrating it.”

Outside of social media, I had three women I hadn’t spoken to in ages pop back up by letting me know they were available, two by saying they were “separating,” and another by telling me that someone we knew had died. Don’t get it twisted, these are not high-quality women, but as you know, this is their format for breaking up and getting into new relationships. There were also some women who where not with anyone hang out with themselves last Saturday; they called it Galentines.

Anyway, did you notice anything odd this weekend?

Then it is probably my social circle then or the weather is starting to get spring-like :/

Hi Clockwerk,
Very much a cultural thing...great way to rekindle or keep an old relationship simmering...Aged and decrepid as I am I sent three and received one LOL.

I typically make reservations at a restaurant weeks ahead of time. However, this year, almost every restaurant I contacted was already fully booked. So perhaps an indication of more people celebrating.

I took my lady to the V-Day premiere of the latest incarnation of that ultimate bodice-ripper, Wuthering Heights.

What I enjoyed most was playing "spot the tropes". This film is chock full of them!

Bad boy gets Oneitis for Stacy, who monkeybranches to a textbook beta simp provider.
Tyronelite gets blackpilled and goes off to statusmax, returning reborn as Chadcliff.
Stacy becomes Alpha Widowed on realising that her hypergamy has cost her soul.
To rub this in, Chadcliff seduces her bestie Becky in a supreme display of frame control and Dread game.
Stacy dies of a miscarriage and Chadcliff never gets over his Oneitis.

What was even more fascinating than the movie, was the audience.
Naturally, there were plenty of couples celebrating the occasion, including us.

There were also some women who where not with anyone hang out with themselves last Saturday; they called it Galentines.

I didn't know this was a thing until that weekend.
Most of the moviegoers that night consisted of flocks of nubile twentysomethings (mostly around 7's). They were in groups of 3-6, and many of them full into the V-Day theme, carrying flowers, drinking champagne (which the venue thoughtfully provided for sale)
A single guy with cojones could really do well that evening.

Clearly this version of the movie knew its target audience.
The screening we attended actually got applause at curtain.
I wonder whose job it was to clean the seats.

I'm almost always single for V-Day, but it seems that right after V-Day is when I do the best. It must be that the gal didn't achieve her goal of having a man on V-Day, and so she was really motivated to get one thereafter.
