Women + flowers

[4GS]

Why don't women give men flowers or chocolate?
Have any ladies in ABland given their bf/husband/partner flowers or chocolate?

[B00]

Yep, every birthday, Crimble and aniversary, I always give Mr Boo chocolates of some sort. He's worse than any woman I know for needing chocolate on a regular basis.

[mrs_overall]

I do!
Mr O is partial to Thorntons continental chocs and I buy him a box every birthday and Xmas as part of his present.

[Roughquest]

Yes - I have sent a single red rose to my partner years ago after an argument. And I often buy chocolates for my partner today.

[cazzz1975]

men (as I have been told) do not express the same joy on recieving flowers or chocolates as women. often the gift is met with a confused look, the chocolates are not treated with respect either

[cazzz1975]

chocolate as an everyday thing but not as a gift?

[Octavius]

I have received flowers, which was nice.
I have also received chocolates, although I suspect these were for sharing.
So as a generalisation, it does happen.
Those men that don�t receive such gifts probably don�t deserve them!

I dont ever give my husband chocolate cos hes not a big lover of it and I would end up eating it myself. I do buy him a chocolate bar if im in the shop buying it anyway though.

Never given him flowers either its not something I have ever thought of buying him.

[redcrx]

Mr CRX gets chocolates ALL the time, as well as on special occaisions. He also eats any chocolate hes bought for my birthday lol

He wouldnt appreciate flowers though

i often buy my boyfriend flowers............ not chocolate so much but defo flowers. if i'm walking pass a flower shop and i see a beautiful red rose or a bunch of sunny geroboa's it makes me think of him and i have to buy it and give it to him so that he knows i was thinking about him

I gave you a rose earlier :-) I guess thats what sparked this post. :-) I give my bloke chocolate, but never boxes of them, more celebrations or easter eggs etc. I've given gay men flowers. Weird isnt it

[mrs_overall]

I've just remembered about the time Mr O had to have a massive amount of dental work done. He was at home looking like a hamster with full cheek pouches when his mother arrived with a gift for him....a huge box of toffees.

[jane1098]

he'd rather have a red bull. he buys enough choccy for the both of us and as for flowers he gets a red rose every valentine.

[beryllium]

awwww.... Hotel Chocolate...... nothing like a special surprise of wine and chocolate, just to say thanks for putting up with me :) xxx

[JB]

I bought flowers for him once as part of his birthday present. He looked at me as though I had gone truly mad! Just buy them for me these days!

[laurence2]

I've been given,

1} New batteries for the remote control

2} A new lawnmower

3} Paint charts from BQ

4} A list of jobs to do around the house

5} Credit card bills


But never had chocolates or flowers giving to me.


Am i being used?

[natalie_1982]

I have never thought about it to be honest, esp not flowers. I do but him chocolate, although I will buy 'posh' bars or new things - he's a sucker for marketting and loves trying anything that is "new" or "improved" or just had peanuts added to it.

You have inspired me to buy him a box of chocs and flowers now though. It will have to wait til payday though.

I do buy him lots of other presents, books, DVDs, 360 games, etc.

[Desperado]

I'm male and my Mrs has given me chocs before now. Nice enough present but prefer books or cd's. My kiddies ate the chocs.

[4GS]

It was an email from 4get which sparked the Q (read your replies 4getme)
Alas, all the flowers I get are the emoction (sp)? ones on the end of emails from mrs4GS or the sister-in-law or other femail friends.
thanks for your great replies guys!!
:-))
PS, my fave chocolate is German or belgian dark

[mrs_overall]

Is that a hint to the ladies on here?????

[Hellyon]

I buy Mr Hellion chocolate and I do buy men flowers on occasion too, depending on the man, i.e. gay or men who love their gardens - Mr Hellyon fits neither of those categories so hence the chocolate!
