Guys and flowers...?

my coworker's anniversary is tomorrow. every year she wishes her husband would send her flowers at work. last year he did, but it was their 10th anniversary. he knows she likes flowers but never gets any.





what is with guys and flowers? don't they know that most women love to get flowers for almost any reason?

Guys and flowers...?
I guess that I learned about flowers early on, but it took me a long time to understand the way women tend to see gifts like this and what it means to them. I'd say that it comes down to empathy. My advice to men would be to study your wife, girlfriend, etc and really try to get inside her feelings, to understand what makes her happy, to try to feel what she feels. I think that it probably takes men longer to develop this ability than it does women.





By the way, this cuts both ways. Women can adopt this same empathetic posture towards men, but they don't always do it either.
Reply:men like to get bjs for almost any reason, but I don't see women accomodating them as much as men would like - and BJs are FREE.





Ohh.... sorry I missed that - this has NOTHING to do with FEELING loved. The issue is about receiving flowers AT WORK, therefore it's about APPEARING loved.





how shallow.
Reply:I GUESS GUYZ LIKE THAT YOU DON'T SEE MUCH ANYMORE.. BUT I STILL SEE LOTS OF GUYZ WHO CARES FOR THEIR GF, WIVIES :) HEHEHE.. :) I WORK IN A FLOWER SHOP.. WE HAVE EMAILS TO REMIND THEMMM


OH BTW, I DON'T GET FLOWERS EITHER..
Reply:tell her husband
Reply:It's not just flowers, men don't always appreciate how much a small gesture means to a woman. Tell your co-worker to talk with her husband, not explicitly about flowers, but about gestures of love for no apparent reason, and she won't, do it for her! Every woman deserves flowers once in a while.
Reply:I have the same reason with that but my boyfriend thinks that just sending or giving the women flowers is just humiliating and for fags. i tell him his stupid. but guys no matter what you want they wont give it to you. those guys that do give flowers to their love ones, they only are 20% out of 100%. And only in movies. ( But i dont really care but it would be nice to get your favorite flowers). But me i would really go somewhere interesting instead of showing off with flowers coming to me.
Reply:men want concrete feasible items. flowers die=waste of money.


example...


"that washing machine will be around for at least 5 years"





besides that men just suck at being up on the whole flower thing.
Reply:I don't think they know this.......
Reply:Why does she want flowers at work? Is it to impress her co-workers? Tell her to send herself some flowers. I prefer a good box of candy myself =)


She needs to quit 'wishing' for flowers and maybe start celebrating her anniversary in a different way. How about going out with the girls after work and having a drink. yea !
Reply:I think flowers are sweet from guys they should give more of them out! :)
Reply:I know! I, being a girl understand that. I wish that my boyfriend would send me flowers, but he has other ways of showing his love. Maybe it's the same thing. Maybe he shows his love in other ways
