Divorce lawyer explains relationship effortfrom @codiesanchez

Overview
A divorce lawyer responds to the question 'What is the male version of flowers?' by humorously stating it's 'nudes.' He uses this analogy to explain the different desires of men and women in relationships and the universal appreciation for gestures of affection. He then pivots to emphasize the critical importance of small, consistent efforts, like leaving a note, to make a partner feel seen and valued, explaining that the failure to do so is what leads couples to his office. He concludes by reinforcing the idea of reciprocity, suggesting that making these small efforts is key to a healthy relationship.

What is the male version of flowers? Newts. Yeah. Newts. Yeah. Every guy wants a good girl who's only bad for him, and every woman wants a bad boy who's only good for her. No true. Read every romance novel, and it's all that I've never heard of a man getting a nude from a woman he has a relationship with and going, that is not appropriate right now. Like, wherever are you I've been in a courtroom and got one and went like it really because it's true. It's like the flowers. What do the flowers really do? They smell nice for a couple days then you gotta throw them out. But there's something about it, you no? If you leave your partner a note in the morning, it was so fun hanging out with you on the couch last night. I married the prettiest girl in the world. Mhmm. What does that take? Ten seconds. Good it cost? Nothing. But what does it do? It's just saying, I see you. You're important to me. I want you to feel seen. I want you to feel heard. And this downward spiral that everyone who ends up in my office. As a divorce lawyer, it starts with, well, why should I do that? He didn't do this. Yeah. Like, why should I sleep with him? He's nothing but unfriendly to me. If you sent more flowers, you'd get more nudes. If you gave more nudes, you might get more flowers. Like, I don't know which came worst, the flowers or the nudes, the chicken or the egg. But I'll tell you right no, you do one, you'll probably get the other more often.
