Are you kidding? Valentines Day was created to boost profits for commercial ventures. It has turned into an extortive day where, primarily men, are pressured to spend all kinds of money on cr*p. Candy, flowers, cards, jewelery, dinners, etc… and for what,, to hopefully get some, for lack of a better term,,, uhh physical affection???
If you have to have a special day to show your “loved one” that you love him/her, then you better check your relationship. True love is an all of the time thing, and the spontaneous dinner, card, candy, jewelery, etc… is where true love is demonstrated.
