flowers to a man? Valentines Day is around the corner. I have sent flowers to my hubby before. But some people may think it should only be the other way around, that the man be the only flower sender. What do you think?

perhaps i'm a little traditional too. But won't it feel odd seeking a guy holding flowers? I don't know. i'd give him chocolates instead of flowers.

Perhaps I am much more traditional. I feel it's a little bit strange to send flowers to a man. I am not sure whether they will like it or not. If they like it, of course it's a good gift. If we don't want to take a risk, then just select other gifts for men. I love China

Ahhh... the dangers of using your Inbox to respond to mylot discussions. I'm workign backwards in time again. :) One year my wife paid good money for flowers to be delivered and I never got them. We had switched offices and when they delivery guy was unable to find me at the old address that my wife had on file, he also didn't bother telling her about it or giving her money back.

Every man has a feminine side. You'd be surprised just how many men would love to receive half of the things they give to the women they love. Here's something for you to think about: On Valentine's Day in Japan, it's the women who give chocolate to the men who figure prominently in their life - even to their bosses and coworkers (the name for the chocolate they give to these people is called 'giri choko', or 'duty chocolate'). If a girl offers chocolate to someone she has a crush on, and he accepts, it also means he accepts her love! Best of all, one month later comes White Day, where the men reciprocate the chocolate!

Well, I don't know`about other guys but I feel it is great when a man receives a flower, because it is pretty cool when you get them in front of other guys. Because it shows that a girl loves you very much without any kind of egos intervening.

Well honestly dude i think that flowers are a girl thing. I mean guys play with cars and girls with dolls. Flowers are weird for a guy chocolate would be better. But talking about Valentines day its more about your girl not the guy. They appreciate the romantic smushy things more. Not chowmein. Her BF Michael

I guess it would all depend on the man..some men feel uncomfortable being on the receiving end of the flowers gift and would prefer a tie,cologne or candy. But I think it is great if a man doesn't feel that flowers take away from there manliness.

a flower - it seems that in most cases, men send flowers to women more often.
Hello ersmommy. I think that it is either way round to send flowers to each other between the man and the woman. But it seems that in most cases, men send flowers to women more often.

I'm kinda old fashioned, and don't really believe in sending flowers to a man. It's not that there's something wrong with it, I just think it's corny, and guys don't really like flowers, at least in my opinion. I wouldn't send flowers to my husband. He doesn't like them. He would appreciate it just because of the thought, but it wouldn't be the exact right thing to do for him. What works best for my hubby is food!

I personally don't think that it's a bad thing to send flowers to a man. I don't think that the gender of the person really matters.

I have sent my hubby flowers before. He worked in an office and a lot of the men had flowers sent to them. So I think itis fine to send them flowers.

I think it is good to send flowers to our male partners too. This will be my first Valentine's as a married woman and I am quite excited on what my husband is planning for us or our date. In some cases where a woman wants to give flowers I think all man who will receive such gift from their partner should always appreciate because that is so unique. I have never done that but I guess if some ladies want to do it then why not? Anyway when it comes to who has work, my husband does. I don't have work because nobody will take care of of baby. Last year we were in Baguio City, Philippines and celebrated a pre-Valentine's Day there. Now that we have a baby I think we might just celebrate it at home with some cakes and coke or go to nice places if his mom will come over to take care of our son. It all depends on the situation. Going back, go ahead and give your men the nice flowers in town! And it is more romantic and funny if they will give you to. It is like exchange gifts...exchange flowers! Wooow!

in the traditional sense most men would find it weird. personally i wouldn't really be into it because i am not a receiving flowers type of guy. maybe some chocolate cheesecake or some ice cream with some hope of making love later would entice me. the same things men like aren't the same what women like. in a sense we are bound by our genes and nature to be men. not always and we can always augment whats going on. maybe its best to see whats in the likes of the man before doing anything like sending flowers. men have to listen before we know whats with women it has to be the same vice versa.

Happy Valentines Day to you! My hubby doesn't like flowers. So if ever i would give him something, i would never, ever give him something that he hates, heheh! If you think that your husband likes flower, then go for it. But i suggest that it's much better to give some office tools, car tools, or food that he likes to eat as a gift. For now i don't have anything to give to hubby this Valentines Day. Let's see tomorrow if i would be exchanging gifts to him, maybe i will buy something like his favorite food.
