New entry. UUHGGHH This is a myth. A Hawaiian woman has the right to wear a flower behind which ever ears she chooses. She decides how to adorn herself, not her marital status. That's a bunch of bunk. The popularity of the myth of Left/right taken/single is part of the Hawaii Visitors Bureau to "promote" more visitors to the islands. In the past, some drunk belligerent tourist and military men on leave would get into fights with the boyfriends of some of our local girls. It was happening so much and bringing bad press to the islands. The soldiers and tourists claimed they didn't know the girls were "taken". So it became the young woman's responsibility to make it easier. So the story was promoted to help the soldiers not get their butts kicked for being disrespectful. Why not ask the men to politely ask the woman if she has a boyfriend?. What happens if the woman chooses not to wear a flower? Does that mean she is a fair target? See? It so stupid to promote this myth, but its romantic and buys into the Hawaiian fantasy. However, as a Hawaiian Woman.. I will wear my flowers wherever I want. Mahalo.....
