35 year old man, and I have not only never received flowers, I have also not once in my entire life ever considered that someone would give me flowers at any point in my life.

I literally thought she was calling in his funeral for a solid 2 minutes before realising the more obvious, happy story here :)

I assumed this a death threat at first.

I have given this some thought. Consider:

• it is known that boys like a cool stick
• men are just large boys
• sticks come from trees

Thus I conclude the ideal floral gift for a man is a potted tree

The gesture is nice. The gift itself is impractical/useless and I don't really like the smell of most flowers. 😔

Give me the next best thing: Yummy fruit basket.

I prefer a sturdy lightsaber

Generally speaking, do most men even want flowers? I ask as one that couldn't care less. A card is fine or some other token of appreciation, but flowers seen pointless to me, so I wonder how alone in that I am.

I prefer a book or something that lasts. But I would not say no to flowers

Flowers are a nice thought, but I'd rather receive the whole plant than just the severed and dieing reproductive parts.

Mind you, when hay fever season is in full swing, I'd rather just receive a xard, thanks! achoo

fuck man now i want flowers D:

The nice side effect of giving my wife flowers....I get to have them in my house too.

My attitude towards flowers has always been "what the hell am I supposed to do with these? They're gonna be dead in a week." I prefer an interactive or utilitarian gift; a book, a game, or hell a really good flashlight.

Surprise! I'm gonna kill you now! <3

I did get a little obsessed with the idea of having fresh flowers delivered weekly to put on the mantles, because it does make your space look expensively attended to. So I guess I sent myself flowers a few times. Otherwise tho I think it's an old fashioned thing that's kind of weird and just results in dead decaying things being thrown away by the lucky recipient. I do accept chocolates and BJs tho

I got some when my dad died, so go me for beating the average.

My mommy gave me flowers at my graduation.

Most likely a hospital stay second, or depending how you see it, higher class restaurants and hotels.

I have cats that like to chew on things.
Nearly every plant is toxic to cats.
Flowers would not be an appropriate gift.
