Why do men not understand that women love being sent flowers,balloons.......?

women love being sent gifts and little silly things like cards and teddys but men do not understand this, to a women it shows they care to a man it means spending money!

Why do men not understand that women love being sent flowers,balloons.......?
because men dont think that they should do those things to make a women happy, they think that they can do it some kind of other way then sending flowers and ballons. I like for a man to do that to me because that is just so sweet
Reply:its not exactly like that. the little things in life matter too. i wouldnt mind being showered in petals, but it takes a simple i love you to take a gals breath away aswell
Reply:flowers ok.... but I would feel a prize pratt buying balloons ot teddy bears.... and quite honestly the women I go out with I dont think would appreciate a stuffed toy!
Reply:some men don not know how to treat a lady i do all the houres work for her and pamper her i looking for a nice lady to care for give me a call
Reply:Speak for yourself... I don't appreciate a spendthrift. An occassional book maybe but not cards, teddies or flowers and certainly not chocolates. I would prefer a trip to the pictures any day.





A home made card is fine too as is a home cooked meal.





This isn't a sex thing either because some men like that sort of rubbish too.
Reply:It's not logical to them. If it doesn't serve a purpose, then why buy it? I've found it best to give them a booklet I created. It states in simple and clear terms exactly what makes me happy and what pisses me off. It's up to them to use it or ignore it, so I don't see it as demanding. Everyone I've dated has really appreciated it since it's like an instructor's manual. I figure why make things more difficult than they have to be. He thinks with goals in mind...I'll give him a goal.
Reply:i like cards and letters, but forget all that other stuff. waste of time and money to me. it means more when he put some thought into his gift. i'd rather get flowers he picked off the side of the road or a dinner he cooked himself. just because he spends money does not mean he cares.
Reply:Reminds me of a joke


A young married couple enjoyed a full sex life and she became accustomed to rewarding him between the sheets for any acts of kindness.But he wanted to prove to her that he wanted her for more than just sex so one day,on the spur of the moment,he bought her a huge bouquet of flowers.


"They're lovely." she said before adding suspiciously."I suppose now you will expect me to spend the weekend on my back with my legs apart?"


"Why?" said the husband,puzzled."Haven't we got a vase?"
Reply:Most men are not romantic, you as a woman need to drop subtle hint to let him know. Most guys are afraid, if they do too much this will piss the woman off and if they do too little she will still be pissed, so i guess they do nothing...
Reply:Not all women love getting flowers, my wife hates to see them dying, ask actively ask not to have them!!
Reply:just remember that men are from mars and women are from venus.. he he!
Reply:How often do you buy your husband a set of spanners???





its like to toilet seat syndrome... you like it down, we like it up.. end of argument.
Reply:coz they cant do anything without being told to.





NOTE TO RICHARD G: i give my bloke head all the time without being asked, but i still dont get any sponteneous gifts so wheres the fairness in that?!
Reply:Because they dont like them
Reply:Men do understamd that but choose to ignore!
Reply:I have better gifts to give my women.
Reply:You are generalising a lot. A female friend of mine has said a few times that she doesn't understand why flowers are a good gift and that chocolates are used up too quickly. An ex-girlfriend used to like sending/recieving cards and letters and another couldn't be bothered at all with them. It's different between people.





To partly answer though, it's proberly a mixture of being embarressing to buy those sort of things, not sure if they'd like them, spending money, not worth the bother, always spoiling the women in the relationship while she never does anything in return (sex and foreplay isn't in return, since it can be enjoyed by both) amongst other things.
Reply:Because most of the stuff women like seems to be irrational or illogical. Seems silly to us to buy £30 bunch of flowers which will sit on the telly for 2 days and then die.





Ask for a nice plant or a tree#





Oh and totally agree about getting head. Women are so selfish in bed. All me me me
Reply:and men love getting head.....but how often do we get that? LMAO
Reply:I understand.
Reply:I am a woman. I dont particularly like those things. I would rather my husband be kind, thoughtful, etc...daily..


Candy makes me fat..flowers die..cards and teddys collect dust. And I don't need a diamond as proof. Love is an action word..Show it.
Reply:For the same reason many women don't understand why men like football! It's natural to think that the others like/dislike the same things I like/dislike.
Reply:Ya I KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT BECAUSE I JUST GOT OUT OF THIS RELATIONSHIP AND ALL HE DID WAS GET HIM CRAB
Reply:honey where you going with your teddies and cards - dont you mean diamonds and designer threads!!? xx
Reply:You answered your own question - it costs money!





Men are by their very nature not romantic enough to think about such trivialities ... it interferes with drinking, watching tv and having sex!





But if you tell me your address, I'll send you a nice card ;-)


Just make sure your husband doesn't see it!
Reply:Not really my thing...I don't like getting flowers and Balloons even though I have been in a relationship with that happening...I think that if a guy loves you can show it to you by love and not by buying you expensive things
Reply:they think with a different side of the brain than we do. a real man will go above and beyond to find out what his woman likes and makes her happy whether he understands it or not.
Reply:who says that men don't understand/do this?





i'm a man, and i used to send my g/f cards, then after we got married i started bringing her flowers, or chocs etc at irregular intervals, as surprises


after 14yrs marriage i still do (chocs today)
Reply:mmm. Well I'm a girl and unless I was really into the guy, I would find the gifts creepy.





So to answer your question:fear of rejection.
Reply:Not all women do. I don't need a man to spend money on me, especially when he's buying stuff like THAT. If I want flowers and I can buy them myself, I'm damn sure going to do it! All I want from a man is occasional sex and conversation, and nothing more. So stop generalizing us, dearie.
Reply:Their useless when it comes to that stuff arnt they??!! They dont seem to realise something as simple as a silly little gift would really make our day and show how much they care!!


Surley there are still some men out there that do that,isnt there??Maybe we just havent found one yet!! x
