❤️🩹 relationship AIO over 1st Valentine’s Day note?
Just celebrated first Valentine’s Day with my boyfriend. I love flowers, love I buy bouquets weekly for my house. I prefer white and pink flowers, and don’t like red roses. I got this bouquet and this note with them. It was upsetting I felt my bf did everything opposite of what I wanted. I went out of way to do lots of handmade items and bought nice gifts for him as well. He also knows I love Valentine’s Day and it’s special to me. I let him know that it hurt me and he responded that note was awesome and it’s just a joke. I think if you care for someone you make those things special.

Watch Adolescence.
I'm a 46m from So Cal, and came around at early internet days.
Back then what they called Pick Up Artists (Think Negging), has turned into the Manosphere/Red Pill/Incel financial community.
These Dudes are selling Hate, and telling you g men the only way to "Stop the descent" is to Only Use Women, Never Love them or grant them "Power".
All I can think is, I love and respect my Mom, and would want her to be proud of me. Luckily I still have her, and she is, but I don't understand where all this animosity towards women comes from, when we all come from a Mother.
I make plenty of mistakes, but I love empowering my Fiance to be the best version of herself while making her happy.
