Trees are heavy, not so beautiful and would probably crush you to death.

maclatunji:

Huh?

This is a very insightful thread. It is pointing in one direction...

maclatunji:

Yeah, they have not answered the question. Flowers are more about symbolism, like they have rightly observed, they are not edible. However, the symbolism seems lost on them.

.. Are you serious??

I thought Mods were reinforced-Titaniumed exoskeletal machines that were created by some very twistedly ingeniously creative mastermind ages and ages ago before the advent of time

marieolae: cos I know u na..ur mind can never be clean

snadguy007: [color=#00099] and what should be added to it to make you appreciate it ?[/color]

MizMyColi:

Elantracey: 1. I have a thing for flowers

NinoBrown888:


I can offer you a garden-filled.

Elantracey:

snadguy007: Hmmm....Should i assume you dont like anything symbolic ??

dytbabe:

Actually, it is telling me that regardless of what Nigerian ladies say, the overwhelming majority of you are materialistic and place little value on symbolism.

dytbabe:

If u call buyin me choc materialistic

Sad, but seems true - at least with regards to nairaland babes. But even those that reject the symbolism associated with a guy giving her what he thinks is as beautiful as she is, try giving flowers to them when she's at work, or in the midst of her friends! The fact that her guy can do something so romantic and her friends' guys cannot, that's all the symbolism they need!!!

Know this for a fact cos it's my job.

maclatunji:

Buying choc is not the issue here. The issue is the seeming inability of you ladies to identify a "non-consumable substitute" to a symbolic gift.

MizMyColi: Maybe, maybe not.
But generally, I think I'm more a sucker for something other than flowers.

Hmmm....how would you describe a romantic partner??

Pardon my curiosity

snadguy007: Hmmm....how would you describe a romantic partner??

Pardon my curiosity

You've met Guapo na

dytbabe:


Buy me smth more symbolic

maclatunji:

Like? That is what we have been asking since now. It is perfectly okay not to want flowers but do not say you want a phone, car, house, food as a replacement. Those ones are not available options in answering this question because those who love or hate flowers can still get those anyway as material gifts.

I am asking about symbolic gifts here. #AhnAhn

dytbabe:

ehn ehn
u were busy attacking me na

u cld see a fine earring, while reminding me how beautiful i am jst slip into my ear holes
a nice slippers too wont be bad
necklace with a half hrt will be appreciated
and wld love a diamond ring too

its ok if u cant buy me all those
bt pls dont come with a flower

maclatunji:

Still material. In short, you have no room for aesthetics/symbolism. #LWKMD

dytbabe:

dytbabe:

u are not alright




did u fail to read this abi pepper enter ur eye

maclatunji:

How about:

1. A pet

2. Write you a poem

3. Name a product/building/invention/boat/school/software after you.

dytbabe:

i am veli veli lomantic
i love rabbits
white with pink ear

infact i want to hear u read that poem to me

either of number 1 and 3 is not compulsory

i will go with number 2 over a garden of flawa

maclatunji:

Can I get out of this thread thinking Naija women are not materialistic and do accept symbolic gestures even if you have to shake acceptance of it out of them?

Only time will tell?

maclatunji:

Stop personalising the topic jare, you will make some people unduly hostile to me with such.
