Just Say No To Flowers For Men
Posted on 03.19.09 by K. Daniel Glover @ 5:32 pm

No matter how enlightened he may become, any redneck of the male variety doesn’t want to get flowers as a gift.

Melissa Clouthier wants to know if men like receiving flowers. Here’s the answer I posted as a comment on her blog.

No on the flowers. Real men like getting flowers as much as they like weary those pointy-toed shoes you rightly ridiculed last year — which is to say we don’t like them at all.

That said, my wife sent me a plant when I was promoted into my first editing job to decorate my new quasi-office. All green, no colorful flowers. I appreciated that celebratory gift and kept the plant on my desk until I finally managed to kill it for lack of watering.

That said, the best gift my wife ever delivered to me was a cake for my birthday.
