I am half owner of a floral shop (no wise cracks - I ain't gay).
I don't listen to women's complaints when it comes to flowers. They're always wrong. A man can send a woman a $120 arraignment with 18 red roses and she'll find something to complain about it.
In fact, the way a woman responds to flowers is the biggest red flag I know of about what her character is really like. If she doesn't appreciate a $30 arraignment and be grateful, she won't be grateful for anything.
That particular kind of unpleasant ungrateful woman also seems to think if they don't like the arraignment, I'm supposed to send them another arraignment...and they think they're supposed to keep the first one. I never send out another arraignment and I've demanded the first back at the threat of small-claims court (they think they're supposed to get their money back from FTD or Bloomnet or Telefora and still keep the arraignment).
Any man who sends a woman 12 to 18 red roses (roses are the most expensive flowers) is a fool.

A couple years ago I took a 'liking' to a young lady at the Optometrists office, she was a technician. I asked a lady friend of mine who is married how I should approach this. She recommended I drop off flowers and a nice note. I did just that.
The next time I went in for my eye exam, she confronted me, and told me she did not appreciate it, it made her feel very uncomfortable, and she would not accept gifts from me in the future. I shrugged it off, next time I saw her she was toting diapers and a halfrican kid, whew, I thought I had dodged that bullet.
The wimmin today treat a traditional approach by a man to be 'stalker behavior', while having a kid with a thug-bum is considered chic. F*ck most wimmin, let them have their equality, or whatever name they want to give to their deviancy and as far as buying them flowers or anything for that matter, forgettaboutit !!

Not true coming from here. I do appreciate flowers.

There's something wrong with those women; not the sender of the flowers.

I would be clueless as to how to behave toward women today. I'd most likely let them make the first move, which is what I did as a kid and a young man.

See what I mean? She responded badly to the flowers and it showed her true character.

An additional lesson learned, don't rely upon women to help you understand women, they don't know sh*t ;)

Agreed.
But, today it is most of them, and getting worse.
It is odd, they walk around half dressed, tatted up, facebook photos that say look at me look at me and when you do, it is "EEK A MAN!!!"
I have trained myself to ignore them, not talk to them, and walk away. I'm in my forties, full head of hair, 175lbs., a physician, was a NCAA scholarship athlete, really a good catch by traditional terms, but these sluts all want a thug halfrican baby, go figure.

Ladies must pass my first test before even getting the chance to receive flowers.
If, after opening the car door for them, they don't reach over and unlock my door, they won't get a call for a second date. Even if I got laid that night.

Over three decades ago when I was single, I had two vehicles, the first was a four-door 1956 Plymouth...if things went well on the first date, the next ride was in a MB SL.

That's the "best" method. Women will "always" make their desires known. Besides, they can't take it if you ignore them. (They can't help thinking - Oh, what's wrong with me ???)

Yep, that was my experience also. Just go about your life and let events unfold on their own. One other valuable tip I'd pass along to the younger set is, learn how to become friends with women. This gets easier with age and it's a real door opener.

You need to add a couple of assets to your list and then you'll have to beat off wimmin with a stick:
A. buy a pair of wire-rim glasses ( =sensitivity) like this guy:
www.youtube.com/watch? v=rj4J6i_vw0w
B. grow a beard but keep it short and clipped - ditto for your hair style - (=gainfully employed) like here:
www.youtube.com/watch? v=AscPOozwYA8
C. also if you can buy a Subaru Outback (=sporty, down to earth) or a small BMW coupe 135i (=cool without being ostentatious) it would be helpful - yes, I know BMW is rear wheel drive and not very practical for Ohio winters, but those cars look mega fun to drive!
D. wearing anything wide wale corduroy (=understated sexy) - Nordstrom's has the best pants!
Do those 4 things and you'll be a shoe-in for Honey Heaven Happily Ever After, guaranteed.

There's lots better ways to please a woman.
Even Mrs.L has zero corduroy gear.
Trust me, men don't wear corduroy or plaids (except Pendleton wool); they truly do not.
Seasonal camo-gear is a better bet for judging manliness.

So who buys the men's corduroy pants at Nordstrom's? They ain't gonna stock 'em if they can't sell 'em.
Lod, seasonal camo is not sexy to unattached females who Lysander wants to get to attract.
Lysander - forget the seasonal camo garb until after the marriage -trust me -then she can't dump you.
Also, black or dark navy blue gabardine wool suits worn with open collared shirts are tres sexy, LS, like this:

I had a rose bush one time that produced blue roses (not a deep blue but blue nevertheless). Bloomed for one or two seasons and then died I think. It is HARD to grow blue roses.

I look at appearance in men as one of my main priorities in that I prefer they are clean shaven, smelling clean and fairly well-dressed. But I'm not looking for some guy who can drive me crazy with a big stick. I prefer a man with high intelligence, educated, cultured, and sensible ability to manage his finances.

They do exist although the ones you might see with a deep blue color have been dyed. I don't know of any that exist in nature that are a true, deep blue. The blue roses that I had were a very light blue and they only grew for one or two seasons.

I deal with a nation-wide floral supply house and have never seen a blue rose, ever. I honestly did not know they existed. All black roses, however, are dyed. What most people perceive as black roses are just very dark roses, very dark red, sometimes with food coloring in the water (the flowers will actually suck it up and change color a little bit).
As I said, if anyone can breed a black rose they will be multimillionaires. There is a lot of symbolism to black roses and none of it is good.
There are flowers that are horrendously expensive. I've never dealt with them or seen them. But you're talking about an arraignment that can cost several hundred dollars, and it wouldn't be any bigger than a normal arraignment.

This is a saffron crocus. They don't exist in the wild. I have never seen one and never will. One flower cost hundreds of dollars.

I do the delivery for my shop so I know what the flowers look like when I drop them off.
A few ago I got a phone call from a customer about one hour after I dropped it off. Since I answered the phone she had no idea I also did the delivery.
"That arraignment was pathetic!"
"What exactly was wrong with it?"
"It was pathetic!"
"And what do you want us to do?"
"Come get it!"
"That was a 50-mile round trip."
That comment bounced right off her female brain.
"Well if I had liked it you wouldn't have to come get it!"
"I'm not going to come get it. Just keep it and get a refund."
Now the interesting thing about this is that when she opened her door she had a hostile face. On top of that, she barely cracked the door because her two or three big dogs wanted to get out and chew on me.
It didn't surprise me at all she complained.
