Manly insecurities
Is there any manly way to carry flowers? It doesn't seem possible. Put them over your shoulder and you look like you're trying too hard. Down by your side and you don't look like you're trying hard enough to hide that image.
I've got a feeling you could be Rambo, sitting on top of a tank, slitting the throats of Nazi's, but if you've got some flowers in your hand they'll still laugh at you while they slowly die in front of you.
And does the amount and size of the flowers help or hinder you? In theory there's little difference between carrying one and a bunch, however, if you're carrying a huge bouquet then the image is even further demanlified. If you're struggling with flowers then you just look desperate surely. Large flowers also fall into this equation with similar results.
Is this the same with plants? Not necessarily. Is it the sheer amount of green, the severe lack of diverse colour? Maybe. Of course, if you're walking through the streets with a giant carniverous tropical plant that can capture and dissolve rats (and I'm not making this up) then no one's going to mess with you.

They just automatically have an apologetic air about them... the whole dense history of a romantic transgression is contained in the hurried purchase of any bouquet. No fiurhter comment.
