Idk that it should "stay" that way, but flowers are traditionally a gift for women. I would appreciate the sentiment, but I'd much rather give flowers to a woman than receive them. Give me a football... Or a sandwich. HA!!

 

[Chemical Alia]

I never really thought about it. But sure, it sounds fine. Especially if he's in the hospital!

 

[magicmonkeybars]

There is only one good valentines gift for men, which is sex.

 

[zen5887]

Of course.

If the dude likes flowers, give him flowers.

I wasn't aware this was a problem?

 

[stygN]

It's a bit strange, but it's ok I guess...

 

[loc978]

If the man likes flowers, yes.
If he doesn't, it's a bad present and thus a bit of a dick move.

All a matter of personal taste. Will he know what to do with the flowers? I certainly wouldn't... but my dad would.
No two human beings, whether male or female, are exactly alike... and gender roles are obsolete.

If that's what a guy likes then why not? I don't see anything wrong with it.

 

[moose_man]

Acceptable? Yes.
A waste of time? YES!
Men do not want flowers. Besides, men do not care about v-day. V-day is all about the woman. Spoiling her and giving her crap.
Mens version of V-day is March 14th.[footnote]Feel free to look it up online.[/footnote] We just need more women to adhere to the rules and understand if they want their day, we damn well better get ours.

Isn't that White Day, from Japan?

OT: I don't see why not. But only is he'll actually display them.

 

[Quiet Stranger]

I would LOVE to receive flowers! Especially if they smelled reeeeaaaal nice!

 

[Mr Godfrey]

I'd love for a girl to give me flowers.

 

[Digikid]

The gift means very little....it is the MESSAGE BEHIND THE GIFT that is the real treasure.

 

[The Shade]

I would not want flowers. I had a plant in my apartment for two months and then it died.

I take Demetri Martin's views on giving flowers: it seems like it should be a gesture of threat rather than affection.

"Here. Watch these die."

... "You're next."

Abstaining from voting.

Imagine that instead, you just asked "Is it considered socially acceptable for a woman to give five dollars to a vendor for no particular reason as a gesture of goodwill towards a man?"

I don't think any of the options you give is a suitable answer to my rephrasing of your question.

 

[neoontime]

Maybe, I never seen it once happen so I can't tell.

 

[Klepa]

I don't see why not. A gift is a gift.

Personally though I don't like flowers and wouldn't know what to do if i got em.

Right on the money on the first reply.

I don't think being socially acceptable even comes to play with it. Just that most men wouldn't know what to do with the lot. It's like you gave him a dildo.

If the dude likes flowers, go crazy. Otherwise it might be a bit risky.

Acceptable? Yes.
A waste of time? YES!

Pi day?
3.14?

 

[Gahars]

It may be unusual, but certainly not unacceptable.

 

[Lord Xtheth]

I think, generally speaking, men don't apreciate flowers like women do. I know I consider flowers a waste of time and money, and if a woman gave me flowers, I'd probably pass them on to my Mom... or someone else who might actually want them.

 

[Mr.Pandah]

As many have said...if thats what the guy likes...I suppose its fine, otherwise, no.

Why the hell would you buy me flowers if I didn't want flowers?
