I dont know how they came about that. But I dont see any problem with a day marked out to celebrate your partner. Special days are special because of special people.
Oct 3rd is Boyfriend's Day.
“I’m done dating Nigerian guys in Canada. I was on a date with my boyfriend and he called one of his friend. Guess what, that his friend was my ex. Next thing they called their friend on a video call and the guy they called was a guy I’m in a talking stage with. I’m done with Nigerians.”

@FabrizioRomano The gap in financial muscle between the Premier League and the rest of Europe keeps getting wider.
When Brentford can break their transfer record with a £41m signing, compared to Celtic's record of £11m, it tells you everything about the league's spending power.
Remember the statement "give a dog a bad name and hang it"? It actually happened to one animal and it wasn't just one that was killed. The whole species was annihilated.
The thylacine, or Tasmanian tiger, was a mesmerizing sleek, dog-like carnivorous marsupial, with bold zebra stripes down its back. It once roamed mainland Australia, New Guinea, and Tasmania, hunting possums, bandicoots, and wallabies.
When European settlers arrived, they blamed the striped “tiger” for slaughtering their sheep. Fear spread quickly. In 1888, the Tasmanian government launched a bounty system. Cash reward was given for every thylacine killed. Between 1888 and 1909, over 2,180 bounties were claimed. Hunters, farmers, and trappers pursued them relentlessly. Combined with habitat loss and disease, the population collapsed.
The last known survivor, a lonely female named Benjamin, died in Hobart Zoo on September 7, 1936. The species was soon declared extinct.
But science later revealed a heartbreaking twist.
In 2011, University of New South Wales researchers used advanced computer modeling to simulate the thylacine’s skull under predatory stress(biting, tearing, and pulling). The results showed that its jaws were too weak to kill anything much larger than a possum. It could never have taken down a sheep.
The entire campaign that wiped this unique animal off the earth was built on a false accusation.
Fear and misunderstanding can cause great unexpected and irreparable damages.
