RE: I hate men

Ah Flick you dont hate them..you just hate the muppets and idiots who have nothing good to say at all. Lass...you are fresh meet to those who sit and lurc in the shadows like waiting to ponce on the unsuspecting. If a man is nasty, laugh it off and give back as good as you can, take the mickey out of him using the words the muppet has sent ot you. Stop being such a nice girl, babes, cos they will get you all riled up over nothing and keep coming back for more

Keep in mind...if someone walks into your space and you take a step back, they will always walk into it again and agin......Take you stand at the OK Corral of CS and you will do fine

PS. the are plenty of good men out there who deserve a good woman

Some trivia about the 14th of Feb

What historic writer invented the notion of St. Valentine's Day as a romantic holiday centuries ago - though on a different date than the modern traditional observance on February 14?

The writer in question is none other than the illustrious Geoffrey Chaucer, author of The Canterbury Tales and numerous other iconic works of English literature. In his 1382 poem "Parlement of Foules" (which in current spelling would be "Parliament of Fowls"), Chaucer included the following couplet:

"For this was on seynt Volantynys day
"Whan euery bryd comyth there to chese his make."

In more conventional terms:

"For this was Saint Valentine's day
"When every bird cometh there to choose his mate."

This is the first recorded reference of Valentine's Day as a romantic occasion. However, Chaucer wasn't referring to the St. Valentine's Day observed for the Valentines of Rome and Terni on February 14.

Chaucer wrote the poem to celebrate the anniversary of the engagement of King Richard II of England to Anne of Bohemia. This pair was originally engaged on May 2, 1381, and May 2 was the date of observance for another Catholic martyr, St. Valentine of Genoa.

However, as this was the age of courtly love, much of the 14th-century English cultural elite took inspiration from Chaucer's spun-from-whole-cloth christening of St. Valentine's Day as a romantic holiday - but they thought he was referring to the more commonly observed February 14 version of St. Valentine's Day.

The exchange of tokens of love became an entrenched highbrow ritual on this date, and it has survived in some form throughout Britain and - following British colonization - the United States. (Whether the highbrow connotation remains intact is another matter entirely.)

Moreover, the text within "Parlement of Foules" suggests that
Valentine's Day's romantic roots stretch back centuries. Not realizing that Chaucer was writing fiction, some gullible scholars have tried to connect Valentine's Day to the ancient Roman fertility festival of Lupercalia, which traditionally ran from February 13 to 15. But since Chaucer was talking about a different Valentine's Day, these connections are pretty easy to disprove.

Thus, for you cynics out there, you can rest easy in the knowledge that, yes, Valentine's Day is a made-up romantic holiday, commemorating an arranged marriage on a different date than the author intended. That's not just a misunderstanding worthy of a Hollywood romantic comedy - it's some historically hilarious Geek Trivia.

I dont have a romantic bone in my body. Too much of a pragmatist........Not into Tedddys, hearts flowers and all that Jazz that is associated with romance

Is'nt it a fairy tale sold to little girls from their beginning with stories such as Cinderella etc which creates unrealistic expectations of love, life and romance?
