Default Do men like getting flowers?

Do men like getting flowers / notes / little things from their SO? When was the last time she did that for you?

Each year on February 24 th I usually get my hubby a single red rose sometimes a white one will do too. But that is ah the day that we met each other and then I always get him a rose on April 1st which is our anniversary ... then I also get him a rose and some candy on Sweetest Day in October and so he enjoys it and sometimes just for fun I will get him some chocolate and he is a sweetheart and he shares the candy with me. I do call him from time to time throughout the day at work to see how things are going for him and I tell him " I LOVE YOU " he cannot say it back 2 me because he is work but he does tell me here at home. I do get up in the mornings with him and make breakfast and see him off 2 work with a kiss and love you and to be safe driving and to come home to me ... and well I have done that for 34 years and we are still much in LOVE as we were when we got together all those years ago !!

I was just out of college when a (long distance) GF sent me carnations on my BD. Put me on cloud 9.

Why did you post this in the Ladies Lounge?

Years ago, my Ex sent flowers to me at work after realizing she had taken an argument too far the night before.

I felt very embarrassed. People kept asking if I'd bought them for HER at lunch - but I was too stupid to lie and say yes.

Flowers, not so much. Love notes stashed in places for me to find, very much so. Small presents that show she was thinking about me during the day, bloody awesome. Just my $0.02.

Thanks guys... I think I'll write hubby a romantic note instead of sending him ballons.

Um...partly 'cause I didn't pay attention to which group I was posting to and partly 'cause I haven't read the rules yet and assume that if I go in the Men's Lounge I'm being a crasher of some sort. (But that's the best one.)

Mostly just teasing you. Rules are, there are no rules.

You could have easily asked me how often I post in the Ladies Lounge.

Although I will say it seems the women enter the Men's area more than we tend to post in here...

I asked my H this years a go... he said he'd rather recieve a BJ.

I reckon he'd be quite happy to recieve a fruit tree or a berry bush, maybe...but not flowers.

PS: It seems fine for men to post in the ladies lounge and for women to post in the mens clubhouse. This site is very welcoming and relaxed!
