The Bitter /The Broken-hearted / Forever Alone
These people are the ones that get sick when they see their friends romantic valentines escapades.  As the name aptly suggests, these are people that prefer to stay alone and would probably write or think about their ex during this time. Their social media activity will be primarily based on revulsion towards Valentines and all it represents.

The Single
This bunch is quiet different to the Bitter crowd because despite the absence of a partner this bunch are still very much optimistic about their future Valentine’s day. but they are still very optimistic about their next Valentine’s Day. Throughout the day, you can see them posting photos and statuses about them beautifying in a spa and just keeping their self worth intact.

The Bloated with love / The Daters
These are usually attention seeking couple, they love to praise their partner online making him look like the most perfect boyfriend or girlfriend in the whole world. Thtoughout the day, you’ll see them posting their grand expensive Valentine’s celebration complete with couple’s gift, couple’s kiss, fireworks, sumptuous dinner, Lindt Swiss chocolates and so on.

The Nonchalant
These are people that go about their daily lives without any interest whatsoever to what is happening with Valentines. They have no negative or positive comments about it, these are usually your online video gamers who are practically in a relationship with their computer.

The No-to-Consumerism guy
These people have a subtle way of saying that they hate Valentine’s, they use statistics and infographs to show how wasteful people are when it’s Valentine’s day. They put up arguments about people turning into corporate money cows just blindly following the move of marketers during this supposed romantic day.
