Well, the rest of the guys and gals here have made good arguments for their side (after we got past the "ho" calling.)

But you Brown_Eye are a d---. What are you some kind of psychopath? If you ever say anything like that again to any woman on this site, I will personally launch a campaign to have you banned. If you hate women to that degree, you need to get the heck out of the Thumpette forum and stay out.

I would be curious if the two guys being "dated" knew about their "shared" status??

All very true FC, but then not getting some flowers etc on V-Day should not be that big a deal.

So happy I don't have to deal with this crapola anymore! Since I have a wife I KNOW what (and who for that matter!) I am supposed to be doing on V-Day!

It appears they are as considerate toward you as you are toward them.

The only thing that is strange is that you are sooooooo offended that they treated you the same as you treated them.

Fortunatly I have a great wife that I bought a dozen white roses for because I knew she would love them and she surprised me with a new Maxxis HT front tire.

Now that's love

i actually thought the 'ho' part was funny (coming from TC anyway), but i'm with 50ccchick on this one.

back to the original problem, i wonder if both of the guys posted at some other site:

Women, ugh!
"man, i've been dating this girl for like a month, and she didn't even give it up for valentine's day!"

50ccchick said:

Brown Eye is actually an A$$. With 3 posts and a horrible remark, you know its someone posing. Show yourself Brown Eye!!! I can't believe I just said that. Yuck! Even Thorina wouldn't ask for that!

TORTURECHAMBERS said:

Hey TC don't you mean A$$ Ho ?

NO! Keep those starfish lips to yo sef!!!!!!!!!!!

"But its OK for a guy... Uhhhh, Thorina made me say that?"

Actually, yes....it is very much a double standard. A guy can date several women and no one bats an eye.....but yes....you're dang rght it just doesn't seem as kosher for a woman to do the same.

As far as dating advice? I have none. The guy that was suppose to be the rebound one night stand....well....let's just say 5 years later....he still hasn't left. But....he *did* get me a card and a box of chocolates....because he has half a brain....only an idiot gets nothing for the little woman for V Day. It's like a fraturnaty.....they all remind each other before hand.....so no one gets a rolling pin to the head for V Day!!!!!!!!

peace,
janette

Sorry about your situation 50cc,
Everybody should have a valentine.

My wife and I met in school and have been married 20 years today.
It does work for some of us.

She got a set of Michelin MS2 tires for her TT-R125, and she got me a set of Holeshot MX's for my 300 EX.

Flowers were simply not an option.

Keep lookin' for Mr. right, don't give up.

I usually steer clear of these types of posts, but this one is worthy of a reply.

I also met my hubby as a Freshman in high school. We have been married 20.5 years (yes the .5 counts) and have been a couple for almost 25 years(long courtship!!!!!). I have never been a flower, jewelry or candy type of gal. My man bought me a new back tire, new front and back sprockets and a new chain for my bike and installed them all! Now that is a worthy Valentine's gift! I feel that candy, flowers or even jewelry is a cop-outs Valentine's gift.

Taking it slow is a great idea, but with 2 guys I disagree. Who are you the bachelorette? It sounds like you just have 2 friends that happen to be guys that you go out with on different occasions whenever they are available. I don't consider that dating. Dating does and should hold much higher standards then what you have described.

So your "friends" didn't get you something for Valentine's Day. So what, if you want something that bad go buy it yourself. Get on with your life, it really is too short to sweat the small stuff.

Hey 50ccchick, times have definatley changed since I dated 20 years ago. Now out and about the world as I travel I vist with many of the younger generation. It seems to me the rave, outgoing mature crowds have changed there ways. Date as many guys as U want but if they don't get U anything for V-day move on.

Did 90% of those who replied ever bother to read this forum's rules? I thought that this is where thumpettes, primarily, are supposed to be able to speak to EACH OTHER. If you are MALE or METRO, I think you should be especially careful not to be mean spirited to any of us. That said,

Re: Men! Ugh!, I am quite sympathetic to your post. IMO: It is perfectly acceptable to date several men at the same time as long as none of them believe the two of you are in an exclusive relationship. When the time comes for that, it should be agreed upon and respected of course. Also, it is perfectly acceptable and quite lovely for a guy to send a V-Day gift to someone who he has just begun to get to know. It sends the message that you are special to him and that he values what is happening so far. I agree that receiving nothing may indicate that the guys are not really interested in you, however, it could just as easily mean that the guys are clueless, or worse, that they are playing power trip games. My advice, if you really are attracted to either, consider it a Strike One!, and give him a chance or two more...also, LOL, buy a couple dozen roses and display them the next time either one comes a callin'.

gee, I didn't know ann landers rides a dirt bike.

Valentines - a symbolic representation of what kind of relationship? It is likely that if one of your relationships matures to a level of committed personal affection, the gifts will be there in one form or another. Symbolic is good to a degree, but when someone truly becomes selfless in their relationship with you, I bet you won't really care all that much about some cards or flowers.

Ann Landers.

And for the record NEWBIE, This forum is open to ALL , but It's primarily A place for our thumpettes to do a meet and greet with each other. With out all the B.S. that goes on in O/T or the other forums. Unfortunately since it's inception the thumpette forum has become just a more civil version of O/T. some one correct me if im wrong. L2F, WHere are you?

T forum rules:

1) This is NOT a pick up joint.
2) Treat the women of our sport with respect. They've earned and deserve it.

I gotta ask where is "Ho" rina? I like her better the A.L. type, she is the kind of dirt bike chick I can respect.

It is almost like a second OT in here ... and I'm not sure how I feel about that. I mean, sure, we don't mind a few men poking their heads in from time to time, but whenever a post like this one--or any other thread that turns into a multi-page argument--comes up, the bulk of the posts are from MEN. If we wanted to turn it into a public forum, we'd go to the OT.

Now, don't see this as a request that you leave. But maybe standing on the sidelines from time to time would be ok. It IS the thumpette forum.

What, unwelcomed opinions?

from the darkest corner of a smoke-filled room comes the sound of Peggy's voice, taunting you to leave

Is that all there is, is that all there is
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is

Ok folks, this is 2005, women are responsible for half the cost of the dinner and date and their own orgasms.

The last time I opened a door for a woman I got sneered at
