Women who don’t want Flowers are weird!

Why would a woman not want flowers? This is a very strange thing and yet it happens all over the Western world. In most places it is common courtesy to bring a lady some flowers. Men know this and they spend a lot of time to get it right. It might be the decoration for the prom or a single rose for an elegant date; the flowers are simply a must. Yet, some women choose to refuse this token of romance and they are weird, this is why…
Flowers are Fantastic!
Nothing will beat flowers on a date. They have a lovely look and can smell great. If the guy who brings them has a horrific smell you can simply put your nose in the flowers and pretend to adore them to the point that you just can’t let go! If he things that this is strange and finds you to be a social outcast it is all for the best. You don’t really want to go on a date with smelly guy so it is better that he says no to another date. You’ll always have the flowers to enjoy!
Flowers make great Conversation
If you go on a date with a guy that can’t make conversation the flowers will save you. You can start talking about the history of roses and if you don’t know anything on this subject you could talk about some other history, his or yours is not a good idea! If he really can’t seem to talk at all you can just talk to the flowers. They say that plants enjoy this but flowers in a bouquet are dying so the question is if this will do them any good. At least they get some comfort as they face their destiny to be the living, sorry dying, company of your date!
Flowers are pretty
A first date is not always a pretty sight and when you wish you would have checked the photo of your online date better you can always just pay attention to the flowers that he brought. Stare into the magnificent roses and promise yourself not to be so easy with blind dates in the future. You can also attach a rose or 2 to his clothes to spice him up a bit and at least make the whole thing the laugh that it is.
Now you see that only foolish women will say no to flowers on a date. There might be some valid reasons for why women don’t like flowers but in most cases it is pure nonsense!

Weird Sells: Get noticed on the Internet
Weird Sells: Get noticed on the Internet

What is weird?, well in the 21st century it’s getting more and more difficult to define what is weird and what isn’t. According to the dictionary one definition is “Of a strikingly odd or unusual character; strange”. Surely that isn’t enough any more? A quick look at eBay and you will find hundreds of items that would comply with that definition. Toast with faces on it, Glass jars containing Ghosts and numerous examples of weird and wacky objects, (well weird and wacky according to the people who have submitted them.) The sheer number of them should preclude them from being classed as Weird. Mainstream Newspapers now have pages of weird news and no shortage of people willing to appear on them. The nightly news no longer finishes with heart warming local story it finishes with some weird local happening Weird is big news.It seems that weird and bizarre are now mainstream and are considered marketing tools or a gateway to 15 minutes of fame. In earlier centuries the highlight of the year was the visit of a circus or a fair and their cast of weird and wonderful characters and creatures. Queues would form outside the tents as people waited to see the latest freaks and bizarre sights. The Internet is the modern equivalent of the Freak Show and with a bit of planning and preparation you can use this desire for the weird and wacky to promote your site or your company. Viral marketing is the key to your success, Find something that people will find funny and amusing and want to show their friends and you are halfway there. Some recent examples are the plumbers van that had a naked body painted on door so that it looked like a naked person was driving. The photograph traveled from inbox to inbox each time the name of the company was seen along with the URL of their site, it was picked up by local newspapers and local TV and the work flooded in (sorry for the pun!). It doesn’t take a big budget just a big imagination, Find something weird, photograph it watermark the photograph and place it on your site take some anti leeching precautions to stop people copying it and send the link out, visit a few forums and place the link in your signature, pass the photo to some of the many sites specializing in weird soon you will have a stream of traffic to your site.There is no difference from the Internet to the freak shows of the 19th and 20th Centuries except that this time the freaks are on the outside of the tent!
