2.1K opinions shared on Dating topic. I've bought flowers for girls many times, but they don't really do anything for me. If a girl gave me flowers, I would definitely appreciate the thought, but the flowers themselves I'm pretty indifferent to.
Likewise with jewelry - I own a ring I almost never wear, but that's it.
I'd rather receive a CD, or a cupcake, or a tool. I'm a guy, and I like practical things.10 Reply

+1 yMy old company used to send their support staff flowers from time to time.
My boyfriend saw how happy it made me (and knew he had some competition) so then he started every couple months getting some just because he liked having them around.
If/when I come home with a small bouquet of flowers he always notices and appreciates having some 'life' or festivity around the house.10 Reply

Now I wouldn't give a shit about the flowers, but the gesture would be amazing!!!25 Reply- +1 y
The flower thing seems like the easiest thing to do for some one. I mean how much thought does it take to give someone flowers? Its the thought that counts, but if you want to do something thoughtful then take me out to a nice dinner or plan a fun night out, or use the money to do something together with me. I have done all these things for women, and spent all the money and effort on doing fun and nice things together... and then they get wrapped up over the flower thing. Seems selfish to me. But if a women bought me flowers I would still appreciate the gesture.
Asker+1 yActually, dinner wouldn’t require much care or thought from me. If I put together a bouquet for someone, I spent time on that because I like to choose each flower carefully. So for me, flowers actually are more thoughtful
Asker+1 yBut your opinion was interesting too!

And if I was dating you and I knew that about you, then it would be even more appreciated. I say that in all honesty. And if you were dating me and you knew me as well as you should, then you would take the lead and plan a special event or trip with me. In general guys don't get into flowers so much, but that does not make it an unthoughtful gift and any descent man would be appreciative.
Asker+1 yThanks! This was super helpful. 😁 And I appreciate your addition at the end.

408 opinions shared on Dating topic. Different people have different preferences. Rather than asking strangers if they like receiving flowers, ask your partner. I enjoy flowers on my trees and shrubs, yet I never pick them, as they last longer and are more enjoyable on the plant than in a vase. It can add to the mood to have a flower in a vase while sharing a special moment with someone special, but I wouldn't do it for just myself.

Asker+1 yI have no partner
- +1 y
There's nothing wrong with enjoying flowers by yourself. Just understand people are different, so don't expect others to respond the same as you. I enjoy flowers, also. I just prefer enjoying them in their natural environment. You can ask your future partner what preferences exist. Differences can add something special to a relationship, as long as one doesn't push his/her preferences onto the other.
Asker+1 yOkay, thanks!
Anonymous(25-29)+1 yAccording to the Society of American Florists, 60% of men would like to receive flowers. While they might not be as obsessed with the flowers themselves the same way you would be, the surprise of the delivery and the kind gesture alone would make him feel valued in the relationship.

Asker+1 yThanks for the statistic!
It depends on the context.
And if I'm in a relationship already with someone or not, and if they're in that relationship or not etc.
If it's a friend or something like that then a single flower is nice, but I wouldn't be thrilled about a bouquet.
If I'm in a relationship with someone and someone *else* give *us* a bouguet then I appreciate that and would enjoy putting it in a vase for us to enjoy together.
And I'd think of it as thoughtful.
It's a nice gift of gratitude etc.12 Reply- 1.3K opinions shared on Dating topic.
+1 yI don't like receiving them and honestly I don't like giving them. I think they are extremely overpriced, they don't last long. I would much rather give something they can cherish and keep their whole lifetime.
50 Reply I'd like flowers from a woman. I love flowers and they look nice.
It's the gesture that matters.
Some of y'all are so insecure in your masculinity you think it's feminine to receive flowers.
Shouldn't be dating women then50 Reply
Anonymous(45 Plus)+1 yWhile it’s the thought that counts as they say, for most men no we don’t care about getting flowers. It doesn’t have that same effect on us emotionally the way it does for most women. I’d rather have a nice home cooked meal, dinner out, maybe a movie w a bj.
10 ReplyMaybe if they were still potted. I'd rather be given something to take care of for months to come then something I'll probably forget to change the water. Or rocks! I would love to be gifted rocks, gems, crystals ya know

+1 yI honestly never understand the appeal of giving or receiving flowers as a present if I really like the girl I prefer we just go out and hopefully get to know each other way more. Flower are essentially just plants that won't last anyway I guess if I was into gardening it be different but I just prefer actually seeing a girl.

Guys and girls are just into different things
Guys don't care about flowers as much they're just flowers to us honestly I don't even think most of us are even capable of understanding why people want flowers cuz to us they're just flowers there a thing that exists it's a plant basically a carrot that doesn't taste good
I mean I like certain types of flowers but I'm definitely not the kind of person who would want to get flowers as a present
+1 yUnless they have a practical use… I’d be underwhelmed on the inside… but I’d thank her for them and suggest she buys plantable flowers next time, especially ones that come in a nice privacy bush that produces edible fruit…
