If men persuade women with flowers, how do women persuade men to do things?

First there subtle hints. For example, "Have you seen the latest XYZ? It would be sooo good to be able to do one of those!" Then women make sure that the opportunity is "available". Next the hints become slightly more direct. "Oh, you can't possibly pass up on this chance, it would really be wonderful!". If the fish still isn't biting they then move on to flattery. It is an unusually strong, independent man that can resist the charms of a woman at this stage. However, some do. It would be wise for these rare creatures to remain cautious. Women are not likely to be daunted by such skill. Rather, they are likely to become more persistent. The challenge has to be met! Bribes of various sorts will follow. Then, if offers of new cameras, new lenses and maybe even a years subscription to "Trees are Us" are also refused, the ultimate female sanctions will be imposed. There will be much peer pressure imposed and finally a boycott will ensue! Do the SP DZ, it would be much easier / safer!
