The social analytics company inspected 70,000 recent tweets to discover that one-tenth of men’s tweets about Valentine’s Day are positive compared to one-fifth of women’s. For example, @Mamasp00n posted, "[F*ck] valentines day, I'll be playing twisted metal for 5 minutes then cry in a corner because I'm lonely and eat fun dip."
The examples are endless. Look no further than the "Tomorrow Is Tuesday" worldwide trending topic that surfaced Monday on Twitter. People aren't just stating the obvious, they're criticizing Cupid's big day.

Despite men's negativity, women are still commanding the Valentine's Day dialogue.
