H.S. Senior Saves Money From Menial Jobs, Buys Flowers For Every Girl At His School
Quote:A high school senior with a heart of gold made Valentine's season a little sweeter for more than 800 girls in his Utah school by giving every single one of them a flower for the holiday.
Smithfield resident Hayden Godfrey, 17, saved for a year and a half to afford the $450 it cost to purchase 900 carnations from an online wholesaler, he told ABC News today. He began earning the money by working as a cook at a nearby McDonald's and a dishwasher at a Mexican restaurant, and for the last 10 months, he's been bagging groceries at a local store.
The gargantuan gesture resulted from years of buildup and planning. Every Valentine's Day since he was 14, Godfrey would anonymously send flowers to dozens of his friends, he said. Each year, the project grew larger in scale until he ultimately decided he wanted to make "as many people as possible" happy this Valentine's Day.
Godfrey's mother, Erin Godfrey, said he first got the idea in middle school, when he noticed that some girls didn't receive anything on the romantic holiday.
"That broke his heart on Valentine's Day," she told ABC News today, calling her son a "sensitive soul." She added: "He wanted every girl to feel joy."
Godfrey ordered the flowers to his home three weeks in advance and enlisted the help of about 20 friends to help him process and cut the 24-inch stems after they arrived. He gave the carnations one day to bloom before loading them all into his parents' van to bring them to Sky View High School Thursday.
His girlfriend of six months and fellow classmate, 18-year-old Lilyan Sharp, called Godfrey's gesture "very special" and said every girl walked out of school with a "giant smile on their face."
"I, myself, spent a lot of Valentine’s Days not receiving anything," she told ABC News. "I know how it feels."
This year, Sharp received concert tickets from Godfrey to see A Great Big World in Salt Lake City on March 28.
Godfrey worked with school administration to pull off his Valentine's Day plan. Assistant Principal Curt Hanks helped Godfrey by providing a headcount of the number of female students enrolled at the school and arranging for him and his friends to interrupt the last classes of the day to pass them out.
"I think that he’s an amazing kid," Hanks said of Godfrey. "I’m speechless at his actions."
With the help of volunteers, Godfrey handed carnations to 834 girls on Thursday. He hasn't yet decided what he'll do with the extra flowers, but said he's sure he'll "find something."
"I don't think anything can compare to seeing every girl in your life holding a flower as they walk through the halls," the self-professed romantic wrote on Facebook.
Godfrey said it was "absolutely" worth the time and effort it took to pass out the hundreds of flowers and that he thinks he's made some lifelong friends along the way. He hopes to continue to surprise people every Valentine's Day.
"I think it’s something I’ll remember for the rest of my life," he said. "I got a lot of 'thank yous' that day. It was really cool."
Godfrey will graduate high school in spring and plans to eventually attend college somewhere in Utah.

RE: H.S. Senior Saves Money From Menial Jobs, Buys Flowers For Every Girl At His School
A high school senior should be saving his money from cleaning out fat-vats at McDeath's, packing groceries for elderly women who ask at least five times before they walk out the door "Did you give me the receipt?", and washing guacamole, salsa, and cheese off plates because he wants to:
1. Buy his first whip.
2. Have money for books/spending cash for freshman year.
3. Take a short trip before freshman year.
4. Do anything that would help him better himself to get ready for the next challenge in his life.
5. Just save the damn money.
Instead, he spent years building up a servitude fantasy in his mind of being the knight in shining in armor for a bunch of chicks, who for whatever reason, may or may not receive some attention on Valentine's Day, in exchange for some empty thank you's that he can't do shit with other than big up himself with some bullshit good feeling inside that will be gone in short order.
I can appreciate the dedication to work, and the focus to achieve a goal, but goddamn dude, your endgame was off like a Ricky Rubio jumper.

On the other hand, buying flowers for every girl in school while he has a girlfriend must have his gf's hamster spinning at warp speed.
I'm with you on the first thought.
On the second, you know he's not banging, because if he was getting some, he'd be caught up.
On the third, he gave them a flower, she got concerts.
This is a guy who wants to please people to be liked.
The problem with people pleasers is that when the find out reality bites, they go nuts.
Wouldn't surprise me if he finds himself here in a few years, after that wetness behind the ears dries.
Or he may be too far gone.

Agreed on all counts. I still like to give the occasional benefit of the doubt or play devil's advocate.
My other thought was, let this nice guy realize that gift-giving is a waste of time now, and let it only cost him $450. Let him learn this at 18 and not in his 30s after giving away thousands (or more)
But then we know what happens with guys like this. They don't get the results they want so they double down their efforts.

Now all these girls already have a backup white knight to save them after they get knocked up by the badboy who leaves them.
Couple years from now some of these girls are going to hit him up and tell him how cute they always thought he was....and if she and her infant daughter can move in.

Other ways he could have spent that money:
- a gym membership
- some new threads
- ballroom dancing lessons
- a more stylish haircut that will look better than the dad cut he's rocking now
- a Lynda.com or Udemy subscription to learn some new goddamn skills to make money
- stocks and bonds
- a copy of Bang and a copy of Day Bang
- more books to gain knowledge from
- a copy of SleepStream (binaural beat generating app for iPhone and Android - brainwave entrainment)
- a meditation retreat
All things that would have improved him and made him actually attractive to women.
Instead he spends it being a WK.
I'm willing to bet he hasn't fucked his gf yet either. Look at his face, that pained expression and forced smile just screams "damn I want to fuck her but she won't let me."

RE: Senior Saves Money From Menial Jobs, Buys Flowers For Every Girl At His School
BEFORE: Is there any way that the forum's subject line can be extended? At least twenty times now 'Subject line too long!' - when I've done nothing to it.
Commentary:
- It took 'years' to plan - he could have spent his money on a much more useful pussy-pulling endeavor (this kid needs to learn the three 'ars' of pulling in high school - Car, A fake ID for the bar and Guitar and invest wisely) and grown the motherfuckers.
- And come on, Carnations? Basic Beth looks on in envy with her dozen carnations as Sexy Sally's boyfriend delivers a dozen roses. I've bought flowers for girls before - special girls I cared about, and I always spring on roses because I'm aware of the mindset girls have about such things.
- ...which I'll segue into I've gotten more enthusiastic bangs after throwing $40 on a dozen roses than I have paying for trips...which is why I don't take trips with women anymore. Any player can tell you - women for some stupid reason love the 'small things that show you care' opposed to 'the big things that show you put in effort'...
- It takes a year and a half to save $450 in America now? That's about $6 a week - is he getting 5 hours a week at his part time job?
- Despite a reasonably hot looking girlfriend, his gayface is showing.
- Why do I seem salty - because this was so 'nice and kind' and I'm evil? No, because what did these chicks do to earn this!? You want to know why girls are entitled, hostile and at the same time have an attitude like, 'woe-is-me, my life is so hard and I deserve more free shit!' these days (since I was born in the 80's)? Because of thirsty motherfuckers doing shit like this for them.
Pedestalizing behavior like this is exactly why we have to learn game to the insane degree that we do. There's a chance he gets a few lays out of this - but I guarantee NOT from the girls he wants to bang.

RE: H.S. Senior Saves Money From Menial Jobs, Buys Flowers For Every Girl At His School
This story sounds familiar. I feel like somewhere, some useless bag of dick-hammers does this every year.
"I can count on one hand, literally, the number of women I have ever met that can take that kind of advice, accept it and make use of it without their epic egos setting metaphorical fire to the conversation.
Most women "looking for advice" are in reality looking for someone to validate their cosmic victimhood, because it's not really their fault, because it's never their fault. This behavioural trait isn't absent among men, but when we fail society cares not, while when women fail there is no shortage of comforting platitudes on offer from every vector."

The media propaganda machine is frantically churning out "stories" like this to keep the little matrix-slaves in line.
You can almost feel the fear they have of losing control.

Thats nice. Now these girls have some flowers to put on their night stands, next to the bed where they fuck the random guys they meet on tinder.

This is why so many people think this thread is a dupe:
White knight works all summer to pedestalize every girl at his school on V-Day
Funny how not only the stories are eerily similar, but also the comments of us forum members:

If you're going to work all summer, put some money together to buy your own whip, take a trip, money for college, etc. Bottom line, do it for yourself.
It's not your job to make a bunch of spoiled bitches who won't remember you the day after graduation feel special, they don't need any help doing that, their egos are pumped up regularly by herbs just because they have pussies.
Meanwhile, he's a man who will be non-existent to most women regardless.

Just think about it, there's enough weird guys out there to bring this story every year on Valentine's day. Maybe it's the copycat effect?
