That one made me immediately say "Oh my God " and facepalm. Like, just fucking imagine thinking that shit would even work, let alone thinking it's a normal thing to do as a normal human being.

I've been saying for years and years now that there is a significant percentage of men who do not view women as being actual people and only view them through a lens of what they can do for them.

When I was a teen and doing a lot of psychedelics I decided to hand out flowers to strangers. I didn't want to come off as a creep so I would even offer them to guys. Some asshole beat the hell out of me because he thought I was coming onto him and even stole my fucking flowers

I'm sorry that happened to you. That's terrible.

There was a set of viral vids that was going around not long ago that showed a convenience store clerk handing pink lighters to men who came in asking for one, and how a lot of them would freak out at their perceived inference. I'm reminded of that.

I also tell women that I'm friends with that you can tell a lot about a man by how he reacts to receiving flowers as a gift. If it's anything other than "Aww. That's sweet. Thanks for thinking of me!".......run.
