V-Day reminds them that they are lonely and they don't need to be reminded. Sometimes they get downright angry and say, "It's such a 'fake' holiday!"
Many men agree and say it's invented by the greeting card companies so that they can make money.
To rebel against the holiday, some women go out and do a "girly" things with their other single girlfriends. They pretend that they're proud of their "independence from being in a relationship."
But you know what? The whole idea that they need to rebel and have hate on towards Valentine's Day shows that they care.
If they truly didn't care about being single on Valentine's Day, then it would just be like any other day. No need to emote.
If you took these people and said, "I will give you the greatest boyfriend you could want right now with the snap of my fingers" they would all beg you to snap their fingers.
It's just like when really fat people say that they're happy with their bodies and that fat is beautiful. If you snapped your finger and magically made them skinny, they wouldn't want to be fat again.
It's called lying to yourself. And we all do it. Valentine's Day is one of those holidays that can bring out the lie.
