Guys, Do men like getting flowers?

[bunnyboo24]

Yes we do

No..

[RavVid]

I'd appreciate a gesture of love and affection of course but it would leave me asking does she think I am effiminate or gay?

I would prefer her to surprise me with a sexy outfit/lingerie she had bought to please me. A satin slip would be perfect.

[bunnyboo24]

Makes sense

“I am also fond of children, but I don’t cut off their heads and stick them in pots about the house.” George Bernard Shaw

If I liked flowers about the house, I'd buy flowers and put them about the house. If you buy me flowers it's because you like how they look, not me.

It's like buying lingerie for a girlfriend who has none.

[bunnyboo24]

... ok

[Static_In_The_Attic]

If someone wants to give me flowers to improve my landscaping I’m totally ok with it.

[MrOracle]

Men like being thought about, considered, and appreciated, absolutely, but MOST men would prefer that you did so in some other way than flowers. Flowers is what WOMEN want, but it's not what men want. Yes, there are a few exceptions, but I suspect most men would much rather have something else. And it's not at all about the cost - a cookie, a cupcake, a sandwich, a music CD, a Blu-Ray - stuff like that is a fraction of the cost of flowers, and would be much better received by most guys. Obviously every guy is different, so it's helpful to know what his tastes and interests are, but you get the idea.

Even if you got a guy flowers who doesn't really care about flowers, he's likely to appreciate the gesture and know that you had good intentions, but try to turn it around: imagine your guy bought you a socket set, or 5 quarts of car oil, or a case of bathroom cleaner foam in a situation when you might have expected flowers. You would hopefully still appreciate the thought, but you'd clearly would have preferred flowers, right? It's the same thing.

Yes, but no. The action is nice, but most men don’t get that gooey feeling inside about flowers the way women do. It’s the same w Valentine’s Day, our birthdays, etc. We don’t hate them, but it’s not our first choice of what to receive if someone is getting us something. I appreciate them a lot only because my garden has a lot of flowers. I love flowers, but more so for my wife.

[bunnyboo24]

That makes sense

[Opinion Owner]

Were you thinking about getting flowers for a man?

[bunnyboo24]

No I was just thinking about it cause my sisters ex said he would be offended if he got flowers

[Opinion Owner]

I see. I’m not sure if most men would be offended. We’d probably say thank you. But like I said men usually don’t get that romantic, loving feeling the way women do when they get stuff like flowers, a homemade gift, something sentimental like a picture of us on our first vacation. You’re better off w something he will use a lot.

[bunnyboo24]

Makes sense

[OneViewpoint]

Flowers? As a guy? No, that would be strange and awkward. I wouldn't know what to do with them. It would be a little embarrassing carry them home or whatever. Sweet but strange. Wanna make a guy feel good. A smile, a hug, and a kiss on the cheek along with a card saying thank you for all you do.

[Cormac995]

Flowers are pretty but the main reason I want a women to give me flowers is just because I've literally never had that happen and it would be nice to get the gesture if nothing else. "It's the thought that counts"

[bunnyboo24]

Okay cool

[Anonymous]

It's not that men would not like it. For example I'd appreciate the thought. Then I'd think to myself, "what am supposed to do with these f***ing things"?😆 I mean flowers just don't have any utility to a man. I mean I'd be happier being given a bouquet of beef jerky.😆

[bunnyboo24]

Haha thats funny

[McLlovin]

If a woman gave me flowers i would appreciate the thought. Its rare that a woman gives a man anything in the dating stage. let alone flowers. Definitely proves she’s worthy of my interest at least. Some men might feel its a kind of feminine, but this point im looking for a woman thats not self centered, so i personally dont care how it looks

[DryGermanGuy]

I wrote this before, I wouldn't know what to do with them, I don't even have a vase at my home. Now a single flower I could appreciate, maybe use it as a boutonniere.

[bunnyboo24]

Alright I see

[Sunrising]

I buy them all the time for putting in my windows. 🙂

But I've given flowers, but I've never received flowers.

[bunnyboo24]

Oh thats sweet i hope someone gets you flowers

[Sunrising]

I hope you receive plenty of bouquets too, especially lots of roses.
I think flowers brighten up a room, and they also give off an aroma, and I'm sure the neighbours prefer to look at flowers than an empty windowsill.

[bunnyboo24]

Yes thats true. Thank you!

Does your wife like flowers?

[Sunrising]

I'm not married, and I don't have a partner, but I would buy her flowers if I had a girlfriend.

[HawkPerception]

I personally would not. I'd prefer a potted plant like a snake plant or or English Ivy because plants are something that actually last if you care for them. Flowers are a waste of money and die in a few weeks even with water.

[EzraIsShy76028]

Most men? Probably not.

Myself? I feel neutral on getting flowers. Neither positive or negative. They'll be dead real soon though as I have nowhere to put them.

[BCRanger10]

If you. Want to buy me flowers. Just go ahead now...

[Purpleronnie]

I wouldn’t value them , only the gesture so seems a little redundant.


I’d much rather they just tell me to my face what the flowers represent , that I value more.

[Zack-Bann]

Men prefer practical things
Flowers are just an object that will end in the trash within a day or two


But some other things are long lasting and useful

[Joshydavid25]

I would like the thought, but not generally the flowers themselves..

[bunnyboo24]

Okay how come?

[Joshydavid25]

Well mostly because there's nothing I want to do with Flowers.. It's a nice gesture, but I wouldn't care for the gift..

[bunnyboo24]

I see

[Chazmatazz269]

Men love being appreciated. If you show appreciation with flowers, most guys are going to be happy with that.

[Lliam]

Any thoughtful gesture of love and affection is always appreciated.

[Phoenix98]

Never gotten any personally I suppose I will when I die probably. Though I wouldn't mind receiving some while alive either.

[SamIam96]

I voted "yes, we do", but to be sure we should check. Send me some.

[Kabluie]

I like flowers, it's really the gesture. Plus they add a little brightness somewhere in the house for a few days.

[Ariesman81]

No... get us something useful like peanuts or drill bits.

[Pohjolan]

Some doing gardening might like them during the right season if they are ones you can plant but otherwise they are pretty useless.

You would probably be better off gifting him socks.

[Shy_Steve]

Obviously in most cases we wouldn't generally, But if we don't receive anything from Women then receiving flowers is better than getting nothing.

[Alex-Snow]

I have and I think it is a kind gesture.,.. so to answer ur question YES

[Iron_Man]

No I did one time I don’t like it. That’s for women that’s very weird to me a woman to bring me flowers and I didn’t even know her

[snapkingmatt]

I answered no. I appreciate the gesture, but what do I do with a flower? Can't drink that or play with it.

[pervertedjester]

Flowers show you both love and are thinking of the other person daily. But usually we only get them when we die. I would appreciate the gesture but wouldn't trust it based on the last fact.

[DavyJ]

No:and as I’m now a divorcee living on my own; I buy them to brighten the place up.

[Anonymous]

No flowers, please. If a woman is going to spend that kind of money on me, there are so many better ways she could spend it.

[Dreamclouds]

Never did would be interesting to experience
