I gave my guy friend flowers once, because my mum's a florist and had some that she was going to chuck out because they wouldn't last the night. He ate a gerbera daisy and seemed to appreciate the gesture. Don't think he knew what to do with them, though. Maybe it's because my mum does this for a living, but I always thought that flowers were a bloody stupid gift anyway. And I'm not even a man.

Flowers? No. Not just because I'm a guy. Because flowers have no useful purpose, I don't really care for them aesthetically, and it's a sign that the girl isn't paying attention to what I like in order to get me a thoughtful gift.

I would not want to receive flowers as a gift. I mean as a gesture it would be nice to receive a gift sure, but flowers? What the hell would I do with? put them in a jar or something? Sounds like an inconvenience to me.

Honestly I have never even really understood why a girl would want flowers.

im going to say yes but not because they are flowers

girls dont like recieving flowers just because they are flowers... yes they are pretty but the gesgure of giving flowers is probably more substantial than the flowers themselves...

giving and receiving flowers is a good way to show someone you really care.. its the socially expected way anyway and thats what makes them so popular

I like to think of myself as a romantic, open-minded fellow, but if my gf bought me flowers, I would find myself wondering what could possibly make her think I want flowers.
As so many others have already said, "I'm a guy." Just.... no. Honestly, truly, really, NO.

I'd feel pretty awkward to be honest, wouldn't really want them but wouldn't want to offend the girl either :/

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

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.

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?"

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.

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.
