STRESSED & UNAPPRECIATED MAN RECEIVED FLOWERS, THEN WENT TO THE TOILET TO CRY

I cried last night for a good reason

I’m a single 32 year old man. I don’t really know anyone. Anyway I’ve been working non stop lately (on my 10th day in a row and still have a couple more days to go before I get one day off).

Last night I just wanted to get my head clear and have some fun by myself. I went to the bar to play pool, and as I was shooting around this woman approached me.

She had a bouquet of flowers and she said she wanted to give them to me. At first I told her im sorry but I don’t have any extra money.

She laughed and said,” No you don’t understand. I just want to give you these flowers because men aren’t appreciated enough.”

I couldn’t believe it. I gave her a big hug and we parted ways. I went to the bathroom and cried. I’ve been feeling so tired and over worked and feeling like life is so pointless lately.

I work so hard and never get ahead. This gesture meant the world to me and I woke up this morning looking at those flowers, feeling ready for the day.

Whoever you are, thank you so much for the beautiful bouquet. It will be something I remember for the rest of my life!!

Netizens’ comments

1. A woman once told me I have beautiful blue eyes.
   This was 2001 and I was 21 years old.
   I’ve thought about it once every few months since then.
2. Exactly and when a women makes fun of a guy about his height and the guy makes fun of the woman about her weight to prove a point about the obvious double standard.
3. Nothing will change.
   You know why? Because this kind of a change would be not only inconvenient, but in many quarters, will be seen as outright misogyny.
   Take a look at anything that benefits a man – be it support services or psychological services – and if it in any way takes attention off of those same services for women, a giant uproar occurs that paints that change in attention as misogyny, because it takes attention away from women’s issues.
4. You as a woman, just give credit where credit is due. Express your appreciation to someone who is worth appreciating. That’s just basic life shit for decent human beings. That goes both ways for men and women. Just treat us equally with compliments or jokes as you would with either gender.
