Bed of Roses, or Tulips, or Lilacs...

This post is for my male readers... 
I am going to try to assist you in understanding the importance of flowers to a woman. 
Read carefully, maybe read it twice. Let it sink in. 

Fresh flowers, to a woman, are quite the gift. If given in the right setting, at the right time, you can earn yourself major brownie points with your lady. Let me give you an example. As you may or may not be aware, us women have a propensity for self-esteem problems. We will never admit this to you but we constantly compare ourselves to other women and, because of this, need to be reassured often that we are loved, that we are beautiful and that we have something to be envied. Having said all that, if you send a woman a large and rather extravagant bouquet to her place of work, she will have been reassured of all of these things and better yet, in front of all of her friends and colleagues.  What woman does not love to be admired and loved publicly? Even those that shy away from public displays of affection secretly yearn for the man who will show up on his steed, proclaim his love and kiss the lipstick right off of her mouth...in front of everyone. It's clearly a fantasy of mine and I am like most women. Trust me. We may have different packaging, but essentially, we all want the same things. To be beautiful and to be loved. We are pretty simple when you break us down. 

Now. Don't you have a florist to call or something?

*Disclaimer* Do not confuse "flowers" with "gift" in general. We do not need you sending us cookie bouquets or boxes of chocolates from Godiva. Yes, we love them and want them but do not NEED them and will wind up resenting you in the very near future when we can no longer zip up our favorite dress.
