Flowers

So it was a weak tie in to testicles. I thought picking on Renaults was good though. I actually see women as partners in life that just so happen to be great fun to have sex with if they so choose. If I want to get laid I just ask. Flowers are something I do, actually rarely. We have an ugly rose bush behind the house that cranks out some really good looking roses. Once in a while if I’m back there I pick a few and put them in a vase or a jar. My wife likes it but it’s not the “I want to fuck you” kind of appreciation. “Nice guys” finish last for one reason; they don’t go after what they want. They think “nice girls aren’t like that” and other stereotypical things. Well, nice girls do, they just don’t advertise it. You don’t have to be a jerk but being a bit assertive really helps…actually more than being a jerk in the long run. If guys treated women like people instead of some alien species they’d get a long way, with or without the gifts of murdered flora.

Agreed, SteelyEyes. My point should have been that I do not agree with meaningless acts of affection touted by the years of Jungian collective unconscious. :wink: I have no problem in expressing feelings towards people around me, but I do not use socially established clichees to do that. “Giving roses” is among those clichees.

You want to show you’ve been thinking of me? Beer…
