women love being sent gifts and little silly things like cards and teddys but men do not understand this, to a women it shows they care to a man it means spending money!

because men dont think that they should do those things to make a women happy, they think that they can do it some kind of other way then sending flowers and ballons. I like for a man to do that to me because that is just so sweet

You are generalising a lot. A female friend of mine has said a few times that she doesn't understand why flowers are a good gift and that chocolates are used up too quickly. An ex-girlfriend used to like sending/recieving cards and letters and another couldn't be bothered at all with them. It's different between people.
To partly answer though, it's proberly a mixture of being embarressing to buy those sort of things, not sure if they'd like them, spending money, not worth the bother, always spoiling the women in the relationship while she never does anything in return (sex and foreplay isn't in return, since it can be enjoyed by both) amongst other things.

Speak for yourself... I don't appreciate a spendthrift. An occassional book maybe but not cards, teddies or flowers and certainly not chocolates. I would prefer a trip to the pictures any day.
A home made card is fine too as is a home cooked meal.
This isn't a sex thing either because some men like that sort of rubbish too.

Because most of the stuff women like seems to be irrational or illogical. Seems silly to us to buy £30 bunch of flowers which will sit on the telly for 2 days and then die.
Ask for a nice plant or a tree#
Oh and totally agree about getting head. Women are so selfish in bed. All me me me

Not really my thing...I don't like getting flowers and Balloons even though I have been in a relationship with that happening...I think that if a guy loves you can show it to you by love and not by buying you expensive things

Not all women do. I don't need a man to spend money on me, especially when he's buying stuff like THAT. If I want flowers and I can buy them myself, I'm damn sure going to do it! All I want from a man is occasional sex and conversation, and nothing more. So stop generalizing us, dearie.

For the same reason many women don't understand why men like football! It's natural to think that the others like/dislike the same things I like/dislike.

I am a woman. I dont particularly like those things. I would rather my husband be kind, thoughtful, etc...daily..
Candy makes me fat..flowers die..cards and teddys collect dust. And I don't need a diamond as proof. Love is an action word..Show it.

i like cards and letters, but forget all that other stuff. waste of time and money to me. it means more when he put some thought into his gift. i'd rather get flowers he picked off the side of the road or a dinner he cooked himself. just because he spends money does not mean he cares.

You answered your own question - it costs money!
Men are by their very nature not romantic enough to think about such trivialities ... it interferes with drinking, watching tv and having sex!
But if you tell me your address, I'll send you a nice card ;-)
Just make sure your husband doesn't see it!
