You know what? No. Ducks mate for life, so can people. I recognize that it's the edgy thing to slag on romance and love on Valentine's Day but I met my wife in '94, was friends with her off'n'on through 2003, started dating her when her marriage collapsed in 2003 and we've been together ever since. It's fuckin' great.

Women are the best thing about being a man - at least, if you're straight. Sex and love are fascinating and beautiful. Robert Heinlein pointed out that there were no works of art created by eunochs and just because the advertising industry seeks to subvert our basic human drive for companionship once a year doesn't mean it's all bullocks.

Just 'cuz it didn't hit you this time don't mean it'll never hit ya.
