Flowers? Yes please!

Statistics say that a man who gives a woman flowers has a 97% greater chance of having sex with her. He also becomes 76% more attractive and 94% more likely to get out of an argument. Okay, so I made all of those figures up. But I’m betting they’re not far from the truth. It’s old fashioned, but there’s no denying a humble posy is a sure-fire way to a woman’s heart. Even a limp bunch of daisies grabbed from a servo will make most women melt. And, if you’re smart enough to send 12 dozen long stemmed red roses to her workplace, you’ve got it made. But, despite their allure, some men stand firm against flower giving. They simply refuse to spend good money on something that will just go mouldy and die in a few days anyway. Others are so clued in, they have roses only on speed dial. That sounds like heaven, but there is some cynicism surrounding flower giving. Some naysayer’s believe that they’re only given when a man feels guilty. When RC received a gorgeous gathering of flowers recently a certain unnamed workmate was heard to comment – “What happened? Did he crash your car?” The flower bestower had done anything of the sort and I refuse to believe flowers are anything but a symbol of purity in a relationship. Are you with me girls?
One last thing, on the subject of floral tributes before I fly off into the galaxy for a weekend of martini drinking and cape swishing.
Have you ever turned the tables on a guy and sent him flowers? I’ve only ever heard of this practice as an urban myth - guy get’s sent flowers at work – never lives the shame and humiliation down. Aren’t we over that kind of sexual discrimination yet? Can’t boys get flowers too? They’re pretty and they smell nice.
Tell me – are flowers over rated? What’s you best flower moment? Still waiting on your bunch?
