Nothing personal, but I think you are probably off the mark. I think she just wants the fancy flowers from the big store. And the better jewelery from a better "brand" store.

If he brought her a cup of coffee she'd be embarassed that it wasn't from the french bakery down the road. I know and have known a gazillion women (and lately more and more men) like this. It's all about the status.

"It's all about the status"

I actually agree, but it's because of what the status means - that she is highly valued, and sought after by a man who will make efforts to provide her with the best.

You are so right. I have a friend who just opened up a furniture store. She's selling a beautiufl, hand carved bedroom set for half the price it's found anywhere else. Two women walked in and the first was thrilled to find her dream set for a discount. The second woman sniffed and said, "If it's that cheap, there's something wrong with it." My friend is trying to give her customers the best deal and win some loyality, but with attitudes like that, she's wondering why she bothers.
