How would your husband/partner feel if you, or someone else, sent him flowers

[HurdyGurdy19]

Just been talking to my son, whilst arranging some flowers I received for my birthday today. He said that in his group of friends, there is one girl who sends flowers to every other girl in the group when it's her birthday, but wistfully noted that he's never had flowers, even though he likes them - "they look and smell nice". Another of the males in his friendship group also said, ruefully, "I like flowers too, but I never get sent them".

It's honestly never occurred to me to send a man flowers, but now I'm thinking about it, there's no reason why that should be.

My husband wouldn't really appreciate flowers, and would leave them to me to arrange and top up water etc.

Would your husband/partner be happy to receive a bouquet?

I’ve had this conversation with men previously, all the men I spoke to said they’d be surprised but pleased to receive flowers.

Ye, I’ve sent men flowers. They liked them.

it'll give men a one-of-a-kind feeling

My current partner probably wouldn’t appreciate them but my ex had a favourite flower so I sent him those on Valentine’s Day.

Funnily enough I’ve often asked men about this over the years because I have wondered, too. As far as I recall, all would like flowers and I do give them, though occasionally I give a houseplant

My adult son brought a huge bouquet for DH yesterday for Father’s Day. DH loved them.

I think my DH would be bemused, he has no interest in flowers (but regularly gets them for me as he knows I love them)

My DD gave her boyfriend flowers on his birthday (the first one they had been together) as he had said in conversation previously that he had never received flowers before.
He liked them apparently (white roses).

Depends on the context for my partner, if I bought them for him he’d probably see it as a bit daft because he has allergies but if someone else did he’d be grateful for the gesture.

Flowers themselves do nothing for me, but I can see the appeal of receiving them.

A couple of years ago I did a favour for a woman I worked with, nothing massive just helping her pick up a sofa from someone else house and taking it to hers.

A couple of days later she comes into work with some home made flapjacks for me. It felt really nice, like I was apprectiated! I'd imagine thats what getting flowers feels like.

(DP wasn't happy mind. Apparently she'd rather some other woman kissed me rather than another woman baking for me!)

If I gave my DH cut flowers or a houseplant he'd think I'd been replaced by an alien. If someone else gave him flowers or a houseplant he'd accept them in the spirit in which the gesture was intended. The last time it happened, his boss at work gave him a bunch of flowers randomly and told him they were for me. I often take flowers for my father when I visit him.

I now feel the need to ask my son and my daughers' HABs if they'd like to be given flowers.

I sent DH flowers two weeks after meeting him. It never occurs to me not to send flowers to men. I love them so much myself, I assume others do too.

DS's partner brought DH flowers for Father's Day yesterday, too.

my DH, DB and Dad love receiving flowers

I buy DH flowers occasionally, he likes it!

I quite frequently send men flowers.

I hate getting flowers so any for me automatically got handed to my late OH for him. He always enjoyed setting them up and looking after them.

He was a little sad once people twigged I wasn't a fan and stopped buying them for me.

My Dad’s cousin brings him flowers whenever she visits him & he loves it.

I've bought flowers for two men in my life. It went down a storm in both cases.

Both DH and DS would be bemused. DH would offer polite thanks, but be confused as to why anyone thought he would want flowers.

DS who is 20 would probably think someone was taking the piss out of him.

A florist I know said that flowers for men was one of her biggest sales points. Why they had to be different from any other flowers I don't know, but she said marketing bouquets as specifically for men made them sell like hot cakes.

Dh likes flowers DS2 would like it as well. DS1 erm no would have rather had the cash.

Like others, first word I thought of was 'bemused'. He likes flowers around the house and buys me a bunch from the supermarket fairly often, but would not expect or want to be bought them himself.

DH said he would think it was really odd if I or someone else gave him flowers. DS (20) would wonder why the hell someone would waste their money on a gift that would be dead in a week.

I've never sent a man flowers and I've never seen a man recieve flowers. Im going to sound like I've travelled back in time 40 years but I just don't think its a man present unless they specifically say it

My dds often buy flowers for their dad for his birthday.
