Ladies: do you agree with this dating advice for men?

A ';dating-advice-for-men'; specialist asked this question in one of his web pages:





Among the following methods of preparing for a first date with a woman, which is best?





1) Find out what her favorite type of flowers are,


and show up with a dozen of them so she would be


';wowed';.





2) Learn about her favorite travel destination so


you could discuss it with her.





3) Find out what her favorite type of food is so


you could take her to dinner... and she could see


that you cared enough to choose something that she


enjoyed.





His answer: ';none of the above';. His claim was that women will interpret any of the above as manipulation.





Ladies, do you agree with that assessment or not? (If you're a guy, please use the opinion of the lady(ies) in your life and not just your own.)Ladies: do you agree with this dating advice for men?
I as a woman appreciate it when a man goes though some trouble to find out what pleases me. So few of them do. It's not manipulation (the advice guy is thinking from a guy's point of view) it's being considerate and thoughtful.Ladies: do you agree with this dating advice for men?
