Plot twist.

Sixteen of the girls have hired Gloria Alred and are accusing him of sexual harassment. The say they felt "threatened" by the flowers.

Most girls will snicker and shun him for his socially odd behavior rather than take personal offense to it. That said, if he continues to give off a pushy, aggressive vibe he may be accused of harassment especially by those girls who tell him to get lost.

"It felt heartbreaking knowing that not every girl was feeling special."

He did this because he wanted all the girls to feel good. He is actually thinking about someone other than himself. Wow, what a concept! Every girl in that school now will see him as the considerate, generous boy who had the confidence to do something nice for them -- because he DID have the confidence, and take the time and effort to be considerate, generous to them. Those are very attractive qualities.

Agreed

A dude in my high school did this 30 years ago and it didn't make national news. It was a smart move, very well received by the all the girls, every other guy in school was kicking himself that he didn't think of it.

Apparently being kind is frowned upon by the LR losers.

Did this include the transgender "girls" at his school?

The thing everyone's missing is if he's already somewhat popular, it will be received well. If he's not, it won't be. It doesn't matter what you think; you're probably projecting your own negative high school experiences onto him.

By the photos he looks like a popular kid, so he probably didn't need to do this in the first place, but he wanted to for the attention.

^^^ this guy gets it.

It's not about the flower. It's about how a girl feels about THIS KID giving her the flower.

He didn't single out any particular girl. He gave flowers to all the girls. Now ALL the girls know that this guy appreciates girls in general. And he wants them to have a good Valentines Day. Win.

this man is simping hardcore there is no other way to spin it

Simpin' ain't easy

He runs the risk of seeing his flowers dumped in the trash can. It's a meaningless gesture. He'd be better off just being a nice normal guy rather than orchestrating some grandiose plan to win hearts. He seems super annoying.

Call me a romantic: roses would open their hearts, while chocolate covered cherries would open their legs.

Batholomew why do you write some of the dumbest threads?

He forgot the cardinal rule. Strippers don’t want money - they want DRUGS

Correct. It's a sign of how weird and dysfunctional people are on this MB that they seem to take it almost any other way. Clearly it was a thoughtful and confident young man who was being genuinely generous.

Again, it's so entertaining how much projecting is going on here. A bunch of you are imagining yourself in high school doing the same thing and realizing everyone would've laughed at you for it. That's saying something about your high school experience, not the gesture itself or the kid in question.

Popular kids can pull any stunt and they'll be adored for it. Same even goes for likable non-popular kids. Guarantee you the kid plays football/lacrosse/baseball which means his actions would absolutely not be construed as "simping." Now if this was a nerdy XC kid, that would be different.

There’s good ROI on this, even more so now that it got media coverage.

This x1000... he's temporarily king where he's from, well worth the $200 or whatever it cost... instead of risking a potential hit and miss, he just created competition for him.

Good for this kid. I bet he made a lot of people happier at his school that day. I will join in celebrating him here!
