    Your planning and forethought is impressive, however the success rate could be improved with the application of the gentleman’s alcoholic beverage of choice

    you really are a manipulative women arent you!

    you will do very well i can see ;)

    i just really wish women where as cheap to manipulate, usually costs us at least a new pair of shoes or a handbag etc, it seems to be that the days are long gone in which a bunch of flowers and/or chocolates would get us something we wanted. as it seems that if a guy produces either or both of them it is to say sorry for something we have done or not done

    I dont think im too expensive, i love love love flowers, and if oh comes in with some im over the moon, he brings me then as and when totally unexpected, funnily hes never bought me them when he has said sorry for something, but hes pretty inoffensive and rarely does anything majorly wrong.

    however when he is feeling "flushed" with money i know i can have what ever i like, he never says no to me, but im sensible too, i dont expect treats when we are having a tight month, its give and take, when weve got it we treat ourselfs when we aint we aint!

    Ive dated guys in the past who lavished me with gifts and expensive handbags etc, but most of them where n*b Heads!, ofcourse i loved the gifts but i couldnt get what i really wanted which was their love and respect.

    to be honest i am quite lucky with that as well since my Mrs loves flowers which i do buy for her every now and then for no reason other than i love her

    as to sorry gifts, hm to be honest (and it could just be my male memory) but i cant remember the last time we had a proper arguement or upset, so just tends to be when she wants them and we can afford them
