Men and Flowers

[justnotcricket]

I wouldn't instinctively think to give my bf flowers - I expect he'd be politely appreciative, but somewhat confused. =)

 

[DSK-]

Yeah, I wouldn't mind in the slightest - especially if they smell nice. They really brighten up a room.

What the fuck? You guys are all too masculine for your own good. You can't appreciate a beautiful growing thing of nature? That just mean's you are immature and not in touch with your emotions.

What's wrong with flowers? Do they simply stop being symbolic of love if the recipient has a Y chromosome?
I'd certainly like to recieve flowers from this theoretical girlfriend of mine- she is expressing her feelings for me, and that extends far beyond the pretty, aromatic plant adaptions that are purely designed to ensure insect and bird pollination.

 

[Kraiiit]

Unless they tasted good and were edible, I wouldn't prefer them as my present.

You just painted me a great mental image.

"Hey, I got you flowers!"
"Uh, okay. Nom."
"....What are you doing?"
"....What am I supposed to do?"

Depends if they were pretty flowers. But I wouldn't like to recieve them in public for obvious reasons...

 

[s0p0g]

uhm... noooo... i mean: what in the blue hell would i want with them? they're dead plants, slowly withering and rotting, not serving any purpose anymore; why would i want something like this?

then again, the idea itself is quite cool; it'd turn a social given pretty much upside down, it's like totally random - just do it!

come to think about it, maybe i should buy me girl a new drill? the old one looks pretty shabby ^^

I get the feeling a bisexual's opinion on this matter would be moot, so I'll just give my reply anyway.

I would like to receive flowers from a girl. It'd be quite flattering.

 

[Dirty-Zombie]

They smell pretty and look nice.... so they wouldn't bother me, but I'd prefer something else I guess. Wouldn't complain though.

Men don't take flowers. They accept Venus Fly traps, chunks of meat or bees. Not flowers.

 

[sylekage]

I would like flowers. But only roses.

Not the "Oh its valentine's day" roses, I'm talking about the ones like in V for Vendetta. Those roses are badass. Why? The Dark Tower series uses them, and, I don't know, they just make me happy. weird huh?

So today I went to the Grocery store with a friend of mine. She stopped to look at some flowers and proceeded to ask me; "Do you think my BF would like these?" And I respond with, "No, he's a guy." And then I got called a prick -_-. So my question is to the men in the audience: would you like to receive flowers as a gift from your girl?

I'd dig it. It'd be cool. If anyone said shit to me about it I'd just be like "hey I got flowers from my girlfriend and they're fucking awesome and if you don't like it FUCK YOU". Not every guy would dig it though - it takes a guy who is immune to peer pressure and very secure about his sexuality/masculinity to respond correctly to the gift of flowers. I'm that kind of guy for sure but I don't think all guys or even most guys are.

 

[ToxicPiranah]

I've had flowers brought for me on my birthday by the misses and I enjoyed getting them, was a very nice surprise actually.

 

[Macgyvercas]

Depends, what are the flowers?-I mean- Hell no, I'm a manly man! I want a six pack or a steak!

Yeah, steak is where it's at! Or other manly things, like dumb bells or an awesome pocketknife!

[sup]Erm, what kind of flowers are they? Are they something common, like roses, or something more exotic like the passion flower? I need more stuff to study for botany[/sup]

 

[Dark Knifer]

I'd appreciate the thought, but I'm not really interested in flowers. Not because I am a guy, just because they wither and die and they are too much work for just something to look at. I'd still appreciate the gift though.

 

[AndyFromMonday]

I'd appreciate the gesture. Gifts are ultimately ABOUT the gesture and not about the gift in itself.

 

[Ambi]

Dying plants. Great.
Well, two sides of a coin, recieving flowers from someone you're already dating is kinda meh (as a boy), buuut, if you were to recieve them from a lady friend you didnt know very well, you'd feel flattered and very nicely towards her

Dying plants, I lol'd. xD

To quote my friend, "real men wear flowers". Perhaps it was tongue in cheek. I don't see why men shouldn't like flowers and other such delicate and beautiful pieces of nature (unless they get hay fever or something). But generally they don't, for some reason...

 

[Kittenmauler]

they're flowers, I like flowers. Real mean like flowers, real men wear pink. Those that act all tough about it are insecure.

Based on your definition of a "real man," I'm guessing you've never actually met a real man. They don't like flowers and wear pink, they like raw meat and wear plaid.

What's your obsession with homosexuals...pulling two random links outta your ass like that.

I can't help but admit I'm obsessed with you. I'm a homophobisexual.

You calling me a homophobe and a homosexual? That doesn't even make sense, get your shit together woman.
