Anti-Valentine's Activities
- make out an Anti-Valentine's Day card to send to your ex.
- have a bonfire (outdoors, in a safe fire pit) and burn old Valentine's Day cards and romance novels
- Scribble on the covers of romance novels and romance movie cases (or photocopies of them) with markers, giving the people blackened teeth, glasses, and handlebar mustaches
- If with a group, share bad date stories
- Hang pictures of your "ex's" or of cupid on a bulletin board or dart board, and throw darts at it. Have a contest.
- Listen to angry or anti-love songs, such as "Love Stinks" or "I Will Survive." Sing and dance your heart out.
- Watch anti-love or Anti-Valentine's Day movies
Reasons Some People Hate Valentine's Day
- people who've had a recent ugly break-up or crushing heartbreak and are jaded about love
- disgruntled singles sick of couples being reminded of nauseatingly happy couples
- happy singles who are offended by the notion that they need to be involved in a romance to feel "fulfilled"
- people who hate frilly things and the color pink in general, and have a low mush tolerance
- people offended by the gross commercialization of love and romance by the greeting card, floral, candy and stuffed animal industry>
- couples who refuse to fall into conventional traps and feed into consumerism, and resent feeling pressured to celebrate their feelings for eachother in an extravagant way on a specific day
- people who respect real love and commitment, but are fed up with the fairy-tale, media-perpetuated unrealistic concept of "love" and all the misery this illusion causes
- people who just like to be rebellious and go against the grain
