galentines day

Since we established the wonderful concept of Galentine's Day, being single, flirty, and thriving never looked better. After all, brunching, baking, and boozing with the homies is quite the ideal way to spend your Sunday Funday. Within the warm embrace of your best buds, you may think you're safe and sound from the wrath of disappointing men, yet you would be oh, so wrong. Given today's modern forms of communication, if these men want to find you on Valentine's Day, rest assured, they will find you. And if you let them back into your cold heart, they very well might kill you too.

Certain men that will slide into your DMs on V-day are of a different breed. And not in a good way. As the great Lil Wayne once passionately rapped, "love is in the air, so I hold my breath till my face turns purple." Best to hold your breath, lock up your heart - not to mention all your doors -  and avoid the following men like the plague.

"Is there a typo in the title? Don't you mean Valentine's Day", I'm hearing you ask? 

Nope - Galentine's Day is a concept, or holiday, created by Leslie Knope from Parks and Rec. It takes place on February 13, when, in her words, "My lady friends and I leave our husbands and our boyfriends at home, and we just come and kick it, breakfast-style. Ladies celebrating ladies. It's like Lilith Fair, minus the angst. Plus frittatas." 

So basically, it's a time for us babes to kick it back at brunch while celebrating ourselves and each other, and telling Valentine's Day to do one. Sounds pretty good to me! In the spirit of this great day, here are some of the best Galentine's Day tweets on the internet; inspired by Leslie Knope's genius, empowering women the world over, and giving strong female friendships the credit they deserve.
