Why Are Flowers Not Presented To Men As Gift? by OCTAVO: 11:51pm On Oct 19, 2012
I wonder if it is a general psychological thought pattern that men should not be presented roses or beautiful flowers at large as a gift from their partner, cos this is not practised in our society.
Ladies, have you ever given any man a rose or any other flower?
Gentlemen, have you ever received flower as a gift?
Does flower have anything to do with gender?
Pls kindly share your thoughts.
Thanks.

I dont think theres anything wrong with giving my bf a rose. As a matter of fact, I think its an added gift idea. Just as how girls do not usually propose to their partners, girls do not give flowers to men. Its not a taboo or anything, its just not usually done

Offcoss, flowers r feminine in nature, atleast biology tells us more abt dat. Women r fragile, delicate & 'swt smellin' jst like flowers, thus dey r cherished, treasured, attractive & priceless jst like some flowers. If malhandled, dey wither jst like flowers too. If u want to treat a lady right, study a nice & beautiful flower, nuture & treat her jst like d flower........and watch her blossoms in sound womanly values.

I think it has to do with the fact that roses symbolize v@gina; that's how the whole rose-giving started in some culture (i can't remember that european culture).

When I was dating an ex, I thought about buying him sum flowers as an apology gift, but then I realized it was too feminine and he prolly wouldn't like it. So instead I bought him the watch he had been dying 4. && he loved the watch, he still wore it even after we broke up n got a new gf. grin

Flowers are THE SYMBOL of adoration and profound love. They are meant to show a strong positive emotion of regard and affection towards a person. Traditionally men express love more outwardly, hence they are the givers of flowers and not necessarily the recipients. But it is not out of place for a man to receive flower as gift.

women don't think that men are to be cared for. flower is like uncooked egg so since women don't see men as a being that need some certain attention, they to continue living their hard life and them enjoy

i dont think anyone should be given flowers, either men or women. cut beautiful flowers to give to someone and they die in a week. its a waste of the earths resources. we all cant be as wasteful as caucasians or the earth will be flooded in no time. dont let the ways of the wicked seduce you

LMAO @ the bolded.
But seriously if you take care of the flower, it can last a long time. Put the flower in a vase & water it consistently. I for one like receving flowers from a significant other.

Why give flowers to a man when they bears feminine names like Rose and Lilly,imagine presenting a Rose flower to a man whose name is Obasanjo.

A man is not close to the colours or scents of a flower.This is why males are not given flowers.
