On the other hand perhaps commercial holidays such as Valentines Day provide a socially acceptable norm by which to express one's love in a world where men were generally raised to not be expressive.
Not only do I happily celebrate February 14th, but I also celebrate March 14th. International Steak and a Blowjob day. Sure, it's far less commercial, but it's still part of our holiday list.
I suppose it is easy for some to get caught up in marketing. I mean, that's why we pay so damn much for diamonds now isn't it?
Some of my wife and I's best dates involve stopping at a small shop where they make artisan cheese and sell freshly made Mac & Cheese and Grilled Cheese sandwiches made from their product, then we go find a little stand that sells mini donuts.
The total bill for this date is less than $20. Yet it's something that we both find romantic, and bond strengthening.
