How many times should a man send flowers per year?

[Admin]

Fam, I was at work today and the question came up about do I send my wife flowers. I jumped up and said "YES! I DO...I send her flowers about 3-4 times a year".

Then all the females jumped on me...saying that that was not enough and that I should send her more flowers? WTF? I immediatley jumped to the defense and told them that FLOWERS don't make the world go round, but these BILLS, BILLS, BILLS do!!!

I stated that all my extra flower money goes to:

Gas
Car Notes
Rent
Food/Groceries
Clothing
Child Support
Etc....

So, that's why my wife don't get flowers every 30 days... Now granted these females are SINGLE and in their 20's and even
though they may have some bills, they are NOT married...so tell me your take on my answer!

Oh you didn't know! It ain't like people cant be married in their 20's. Age aint nothing but a number. But now, Bills Bills Bills, is not what is going to keep your marriage. It's the little things like the "flowers" that reassures most wives that their husband cares and loves them. It's not about the money. If a man is spending all his money on just Bills Bills Bills, then what is he doing about romance besides just sexing her and rolling over and going to sleep. That's not what marriage should be about. That's why Judge Mablean Ephraim has a show..... Think about it. It's not that hard.

[Admin]

LOL@Reesecup...

Funny how YOU can speak for married folk, when you ain't! :D

....But seriously folks, How many times per year should a brotha send flowers to his wife (since this was my original question)??

Holla:confused:

[nubianx2]

I didn't know there was a flower quota. It's always nice to receive flowers but things other than them can also represent romance.

[misha]

I love flowers. But I love gestures from the heart more. How my husband treats me matters more to me than flowers do.

Flowers on my birthday are lovely. Flowers on V Day is fantastic. But treating me like a queen is all good 365 days a year. And I am not talking about spending money either.

[que90nek]

1-2 times...
birthday, valentines...

we both don't get in to stuff like that.

[CD]

I refuse to give flowers on V-Day or some other day where they go up in price....:(

[Bedroomeyes]

I'm with CD.. Whenever the mood strikes...

If I must put a number on it.. I'll say 3-4 times... Now this does not include the $3.99 flowers from the grocery store.. :upto:

[Sparkles]

rec'd them 1 or 2 a year. Am I okay with that, Hell yeah, I rather for my bills to be paid any day.

We don't get into that too much either, but I will take emotional and pysical confort any day. My man treating me like his queen and respecting me is what make and keeps a marriage going not flowers.

Flower's and candy are nice guester, but after the candy is gone and the flower's are dead, then what!!!!!!

flowers die
but
semen multiplies!

lol

i'm bout to get poetic on ya'll asses!

[Juicey1]

Damn Admin! I would say that 3-4 times a year is great. I don't get them that often, but like you and a couple others said, I would rather have my bills paid. He does other things to let me know that he cares. If I say me feet hurt, he rubs them. He just does little things to let me know. If I get flowers I am very surprised and happy about it and I let him know it.

Admin, don't let them get on you, 3-4 times is very good. It doesn't matter what everyone else thinks, what does Mrs. Admin think?:hearts:

[Sparkles]

Alright Que--do your thang, reececup will be singing a new tune in time, she appears to be a youg buck, so it ain't her fault.!!

Women still want flowers? I thought they liked ice & platinum! You know Ray-Ray is not bringing home flowers. Maybe a bottle of Moet & some magnums. Definitely not flowers.

Oh! I'm NOT even trippin, cause Mrs. Admin's lifestyle is a nice one:D She is treated like the Queen she is! I mean, everytime she starts up her 2000 Montero Sport, she is reminded of how much I love her, When the credit cards are not declined at the makeup counter or shoe store, she is reminded.

I mean there is no fear of the repo man and an eviction notice...so I'm secure that she knows that I love her. As thaey say, show me you love me!

So, I have always put in work and romantic is me, but I also love and respect my lady!!

...so when the mood hits, I'll send her flowers to the JOB! so the other women can trip out that their men don't send any. i like sending them to her job, in fact I use a florist that is down the skreet from her job, just to get the address correct and make sure the delivery happens.

Holla

PS. Matter of fact, I'ma send some to her today.....and fuck up everyone in her office.
:upretty

[Bedroomeyes]

Now that's how to do it.. When she least expects it... :hearts:

[seductive_tee]

Doesn't matter to me...but i like the silk flowers.

My daughter gave me 2 dozen silk beautiful blue roses that can last me forever.

My son gave me a long stem beautiful wrapped red rose.

Those will probably mean more to me than any flower a man can give me.

Being a young buck, has nothing to do with it. For yalls info, i know females or shall i say "grown woman" who likes to be showed attention by receiving flowers. By the way, it's not like i said the man should break his neck being broke behind buying her flowers 365 days. At least im not one of those females, who would expect her man to go broke behind buying her diamonds and pearls.

[que90nek]

r u yelling?

surely...u are not.

[HulaSista]

You know what......i like to dry flowers and use them in arts and crafts. so, i've always told my boyfriends that i love flowers, but, not at the expense of 30 a bouquet. i am even so good as to say......i'd rather you fixed me a ham and cheese samish instead of flowers.

one time, this one dude who LOVE giving me flowers was going broke behind it. i gave him a hint: go to the oakland/san francisco farmers market wed-sun and find 2 dozens of long stem red roses for $12. carnations: $6.00. or costco for $8 for a mix bunch. he got smart REAL quick.............and i got MORE flowers! :D

djackso: i'm not one of those women that like the ice and platinum. it is just my luck that i loose a ring or knock a stone out cause i am so careless about jewelry. find me some $4.00 pair of silver hoops and i'm straight! lmao! :D

it's not to say i don't want more, but, we can give within our means.

[Reesecup1]

No i am not yelling, however i am using force

[Sparkles]

Dang girl we hear ya!!!lolol

BTW----The captain of the shit doesn't like when you are using all capital letter!!

One more thing "Young Buck" Welcome to the hush and I ope to keep seeing you around seems like you might have a little bite to ya.

[que90nek]

oooo yeah, baby...
force...

but...don't force it...let it happen naturally...*singing* Don't Force it....

flowers are too easy...as far as attention goes. For some the expense of ordering a $50 bouquet is cheapened by the fact that they are more than able to do so....so if you over do it...that takes away the specheality (pronouced spe she al ity) of it.

a well place poem or note...or simple words and actions will suffice...in most cases.

[que90nek]

one more thing, boo boo...

the force and magnitude of what u r sayin is not measured in how many capital letters u use....its measured by how well u get across what u r tryin to say.....and whether or not u r makin any sense....

GOT IT! :D

[Tastey]

I think you are doing great. 3-4 times a year is excellent.

Personally I don't really like to receive flowers, they just gonna die anyway. Like Tee, I have some silk ones...but I'm not that impressed with real flowers.

However there is nothing like getting flowers at work for no reason at all to make every woman in the place green with envy. LOL :D

[OhSoPrecious]

[SeaDuceme2]

Well Tommy, you doing alright in my book...I think a man should send flowers when he feels like he wants to send them. I would appreciate the gesture now matter how often or infrequent.

Like Admin said the Montero is taken care of and most importantly the credit cards work for shoe shopping, fuck a flower,,LOL:D :D :p

And, I started to call you last week. . . so we can chat~!! :p

[D2daO2da]

I actually never sent flowers to a womans workplace but I have given flowers on many occaisions. Different flowers, not just a dozen roses but I got to the florist and get something tropical, or something that has a shelf life longer than a week. I do it when I feel like it. I also try to listen to hear if she says I need to buy this and that... Then I buy this and that.. It's all in the presentation. I just try to be thoughtful.

[Toffee]

If you give them too many it kinda takes away from the specialness. (i know that's not a word). Personally I don't like to get flowers.. One rose is enough.
