Ben Shapiro absolutely needs to pivot to musical theater reviews. His take was so fascinating

In my book, flowers are absolutely, without question, too much on a first date. It could easily read as creepy/"lovebombing" and the woman could worry that she needs to manage a guy who thinks they are way, way further along in the relationship than they are. (Also, from a strictly utilitarian perspective, I'm fairly adamant that gestures like that will not ever make up for a lack of connection otherwise, so there's a lot of downside and not much upside.) That's not saying it will always go poorly--seems to have worked in this case--but save the flowers for the third date.

I agree that this feels like something we should all just skip, but any guy who actually thinks Sweeney's bikini body (a 10 in any normal person's book, if I must lower myself to such a juvenile and dehumanizing ranking system) is anything other than that watches way too much porn and hates actual women way too much to function in society.
