If your boyfriend expects sex in exchange for flowers, get a different boyfriend. (Unless you’re into that dynamic I guess. You do you.)

For all the guys reading this thread, the most effective way to give flowers is to give them for no reason at all.

Never, ever give flowers as an apology. Your partner will start to associate receiving flowers with negative emotions.

Yes, random flowers. Not only on holidays.

Narrator:
Vanessa did not have a vase in the office.

Well, that'll be another $89.⁹⁹ for the vase, we're accepting cash, cheques, and credit cards

You could buy a can of coffee at the Ralph’s, that’s a very modestly priced receptacle.

Women don't enjoy sex, is that the joke?

[–] Velonie 15 points 6 months ago (1 children)

No, it's that the woman feels coerced into sex as a result of the gift. At least the left part of the comic

And the guy's mindset is it's flowers, that go in a vase.

What's in her head isn't in the head of the delivery guy (and we have no idea what's in the head of the boyfriend that sent them).

Furthermore, if that's what she thinks, that's all on her. Her thoughts are hers, no one else's. Only she controls what she thinks (like all of us). And before you say "her boyfriend made her think that" :

  1. We have zero evidence of the boyfriend's behaviour from this comic, that would be a strawman.

  2. Regardless of his behaviour, if she didn't like it, she should dump his ass.

I don't know a single woman who thinks like this (probably because I don't keep people like this in my life). If you (the royal you) let other people determine how you think or feel, only you are responsible for permitting that. This is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy step 1.

Also, it's a joke... About how all of us operate from assumptions that we'd be well served to revisit and reconcile with what others actually think .

Ya' all are pretty uptight.

It's a joke meme, my guy, not an episode of CSI.
