Pro Valentine's Day (Casey) Anti Valentine's Day (Matt)
Chocolate- Sure, chocolate may be fattening but who cares? It’s Valentine’s Day. If you’ve got a valentine he or she won’t leave you because you’ve had a few pieces of the world’s finest candy. If you don’t have a valentine then you can simply eat your feelings guilt free.

Chocolate – If you eat a lot of chocolate, you’ll end up gaining weight. Nothing like saying, “Happy Valentine’s Day Honey, here’s a bunch of calories!”
Flowers- Flowers can be a beautiful statement that tells your significant other, “I love you.”
Flowers – Flowers are okay, unless your significant other is allergic to them. Plus, they attract bugs. Then again, nothing’s more romantic than waking up and finding a ton of critters in your home.
Stuffed Animals- Teddy bears and other stuffed animals are cute and cuddly, late at night when that special someone has to leave you’ll still have a piece of him or her to hold on to.
Stuffed Animals – Your significant other could have nightmares in which the stuffed animal comes alive. Unless you want your significant other to wake up in the middle of night screaming bloody murder, teddy bears and other stuffed “demons” are a no-no.
Jewelry- Jewelry is yet another token of love, a lasting gift that can be used every day, or just for special occasions. The right piece of jewelry can be the perfect way to sum up all your feelings without sputtering over words. After all, diamonds are a girl’s best friend.
Jewelry – Man, this stuff is expensive.
Cards- You can send a card to anyone and everyone; your friend, boyfriend/girlfriend, parents, or even that distant family member that nobody likes but finds it necessary to be polite to.
Cards – Have you seen the price of cards? Four dollars for a freaking card?
Obligation to be nice- You should be nice every day, but Valentine’s Day gives you the opportunity to take that extra step. Whether that step is smiling at a random stranger, helping a lonely old lady across the street or just sharing all the treats you got for Valentine’s Day with your hopelessly single and forever alone friends.
The Obligation to be Nice – Trying to be nice is hard, and what’s the point?
Going out to dinner- Valentine’s Day is a holiday and should be treated as such, which includes a nice dinner with that special date. It’s not where you go and what you eat, but who you are with and what you give them to remember the date.
Going out to Dinner – Again, unnecessarily expensive. And what if you get bad service? What a way to ruin the night. Plus, your significant other will probably force you to give a decent tip, even though you don’t want to.
Lots of the color pink- Take advantage of it guys, it’ll be the only day of the year you won’t lose man points for decking out in pink.
Lots of the Color Pink – Mean Girls has already turned Wednesday pink. This color cannot take over the world.
