Guys, would it be weird if your girlfriend gave you flowers?

[Anonymous]

I see mixed opinions on this; obviously, there won't be the same answer for everyone. But if your girlfriend or wife bought you some flowers, would it be weird to you? Like for an anniversary, or to congratulate you on winning something, or just to show appreciation, etc.

I'd love to get flowers

Isn't weird, but I wouldn't care much either way

I'd find it weird/hate it

Would you be disappointed at all if your girlfriend didn't like flowers for herself?

[Anonymous]

Not so much on the flowers front if you mean like the cut bunches. As I see the nice idea of them but I find that there limited life span makes me question the worth a bit. Plants in general and even potted flowers I'd be fine with depending on the plant. There are some flowers that I find really nice and relaxing scent wise like Jasmine.

But yeah I wouldn't mind if a girlfriend got me flowers.

[Asker]

Yeah, I feel the same way. I don't really get the girl hype around them

[Opinion Owner]

I get they look and smell nice and that. But I think the limited life span is what makes them not worth it. You only get that for a short time really.

Thank you for MHO.

[ImHere22]

I love receiving flowers! On the rare occasions I get flowers for my wife, I always buy a second bunch for myself.
My wife doesn’t really care about flowers, so she actually will pick me up some if she’s near the store or I’ve had a rough week or just because.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Haven’t you heard, when you go fishing, you bring fish worms.

Not strawberries.

Do you think flowers would make him happy?

Think of some hobbies he has, things he loves doing and choose a present accordingly.

[Account]

I have bought flowers before to an ex and he liked them a lot. Even when they started wilting, he hung them upside down to dry them for a couple of weeks in order to preserve them.

[Telekinetic-Potato]

It's the kind of thing that I just would think it's a nice gesture. Especially if we weren't living together.

Flowers objectively make a space look nicer and there is something kinda cute about the fact I'd be thinking about her every time I see them. Nothing unattractive about a woman who's endearing.

[FunkyMonkee]

I don't much get the idea of giving flowers but, I certainly wouldn't mind getting some. One good friend of mine gave me a bouquet of them for my birthday about 30 years ago. I thought it was really sweet of her and kinda cherished them as long as they stayed alive.

[Phoenix98]

I don’t think I’d be weird. Different and uncommon? For sure, but I’d accept them anyway.

And now I’d have to get her flowers and so the Great Flower War would begin.

[Asker]

Haha, another flower war one. That's nice though

[Phoenix98]

Mhmm.

[Anonymous]

I remember asking my dad once if he ever would have liked flowers from my mom instead of him always giving the flowers, and he was like, no, it's my thing. I like doing it, but I don't want them given to me. I've never dated a guy who wanted flowers, but I'm sure they are out there.

[RebelinSteel]

My main problem would be I get hay fever and might be a bit meh, but as a present not a problem.

[Asker]

Fair. Do you have allergies or something? That's definitely something to consider

[RebelinSteel]

Just hay fever. Some flowers are fine some I end up a snott monster lol

[Asker]

Sorry, that sucks

[RebelinSteel]

Yeah it’s really random

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

I'd appreciate the gesture but I have no idea what to do with them. I'd rather get something I can eat, for example, like a bag of peanuts. It's like if a woman got me a box of tampons. I'm still happy at the thought but I just don't know what to do with them.

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

Fake flowers would at least be preferable for me since I don't know how to take care of the real ones and water them and keep them in the sunlight and so forth and really don't want to deal with that maintenance. I figure the next time she stops at my place, she will want to see the flowers. So I can do that and put them on a coffee table or something and say like, "See, I put the flowers over here. I didn't throw them away or anything." But it's much easier for me if they are fake flowers.

[NamerOfStars]

Weird as in odd? Yes. Weird as in unwelcome? No- I'd be kind of confused, and uncertain of how to emotionally react, but I'd appreciate the gesture, if nothing else. Not sure how many guys would feel the same way, though.

[ChicoFromThe305]

No but she basically just started a flowers war, the flowers I'll be getting her will be better, ima outflower her, gots too 🤷🏽‍♂️

[Asker]

That sounds wholesome tbh. It'd be fun to see that in real life.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Well I got a secret up my sleeve tho, ima win by getting her a bouquet of these mfs

[Asker]

Wow, those are gorgeous! You'll definitely win.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Thank you 🙂

[TadCurious]

I would appreciate the thoughtfulness but I don't have a case. Lol

[TadCurious]

* a vase

[Asker]

I see why that might be a bit awkward. Though, if you hang them upside down in a dark corner they actually preserve really nicely, which is better than a vase if you ask me.

Also, you could use a jar or a wine bottle.

[TadCurious]

Thanks I didn't think of that.

[Asker]

Np 🙂

[TadCurious]

I would be a little disappointed if she didn't like receiving flowers for herself. I've always thought of giving flowers as a traditional and thoughtful gesture.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Not weird, but I'd rather she just put it in the garden. I don't view flowers as romantic guestures, moreso as landscaping tools. If she wants to get me an appreciation gift, games, books, toys, collectables, or tech is more appropriate. But I don't need gifts.

[DaBiggestBird]

Absolutely not, flowers are a naturist marvel. As some one who has some real respect for all life forms and knows how to appreciate nature, I would be delighted to be gifted flowers from my hypothetical girlfriend

[Unit1]

Considering most of us receive our first flower on our funeral, getting flowers out of nowhere (or on 14 February) would send to some of us a relative powerful message.

I wouldn't care if she doesn't like receiving flowers.

[Somoneelse]

I'm not really a flower person myself. But I for sure would apreciate the thought and the gift.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

There's some guys that love to receive flowers too, I'm sure.

[andreasderjuengere]

To make it meaningful,

I'd be ok with sunflowers,

or Morticia's style of trimmed Black Roses.

[CozyCoffin]

1. I'd appreciate the gesture and put them in a vase. 2. No, I'd just make sure to get her something she likes.

[BCRanger10]

If you wanted to buy me flowers...

Men give flowers as a gesture using a flower a simple of beauty. Some men like receiving flowers to show u just how he wants to take care of u noting he believes ur beautiful.

[Kaamraj]

I haven't and i think most men haven't gotten anything from a woman. So no it would not be weird at all.

[lightbulb27]

no, but I'd wonder if I died and went to heaven... or what she had for lunch...

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Nope. I actually like flowers. God's beautiful creation.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I'd love to get flowers from a girl.

[Jamie05rhs]

I saw this same question elsewhere on the Internet. Haha

[Asker]

Lots of girls are curious. It was brought to my mind because my brother mentioned how he'd be super happy to receive some flowers from a girl, and I'd been under the impression that guys would be weirded out if a girl gave him some.

[Jamie05rhs]

Your brother sounds sweet.

I would be weirded out, yes. But not necessarily in a bad way. (If that makes sense.). In other words, I wouldn't be offended.

[Asker]

Yeah, I think I get it. I just personally don't really care for flowers myself, but I also thought it would be nice to give some to my boyfriend should I have one.

[Jamie05rhs]

Aww. That's honestly adorable!

[Texaskid1]

Most men will only receive flowers at their funeral.

[Anonymous]

Well, would it be weird if your boyfriend gave you a fishing lure? That's the gender-equivalent. Just sayin.

[Asker]

Not to me tbh. I haven't met any guys below fifty who fish nowadays.

[Opinion Owner]

Hopefully you get the point.

[Asker]

I'm undecided. It's apparent whether men like flowers or not is subjective

[Opinion Owner]

To the vast majority of men, flowers and an utter waste of money. If you're going to spend that kind of money on a guy, spend it on something that has value to him.

[KrakenAttackin]

I wouldn't know what to do with flowers. A girlfriend once got me a pack of new work socks and I thought I won the lottery!

[Anonymous]

No flower is cool but a can of beer would be better

[exitseven]

It might be unusual but I would like it ,

[Alex-Snow]

I would love it and appreciate it

[aceleon]

weird, i probably would eat it lol

[Jennz6]

I wouldn’t mind getting flowers 🌺

[Pterodon]

I’ve gotten flowers before

[Zestyassmf1997]

That would be nice.

[Jmmmfi4]

ID THINK SHE WAS RETARDED

[DreamLife7]

You sound ridiculous

[Asker]

How so?
