As a man, I don't want to recive flowers, amirite?

It is selfish if she bought them "for him" but really only for herself. Which a lot of people tend to do tbh but nah, genuinely giving someone a gift is never selfish or low effort. Least a person can do is try to appreciate the gesture, It's not like they are intentionally buying something you dislike. Flowers are easy because most people generally like them unless they are allergic to them, and they are a expendable gift, so you are not really giving that much of a burden to anyone, they are nice for a few weeks and you trash them, no harm no foul

You're right, I think people can at least appreciate the gesture of a thoughless gift. But in the case of flowers though, you're supposedly gifting it to someone you care about, so the bar should be a little bit higher

oh i assumed we were talking just random surprise gifts, yeah if we are talking birthdays or christmas etc, then yeah it is pretty low effort.

same, i think flowers are kinda stupid and should be enjoyed in the wild momentarily and that's it

Many years ago, on a whim, and being far from home, I sent my father a huge bouquet. He was absolutely surprised and utterly thrilled! He giggled a lot, that WW2 War Veteran. But he just LOVED them.

It's not about receiving flowers, but about the act of buying something nice for your partner to show that you acknowledge them. Lots of women are also not fond of flowers, but they are generally appreciative of the gesture. Or, they tell their partners to not buy any more flowers and to buy something that they will use or enjoy. I'm sure that a bunch of men do like receiving flowers, but their partners don't get it for them. This discussion about "men not getting flowers" is about them. If you don't like flowers then tell your partner to get you something that you will like.

You are right, which is why I said that he can tell his partner to get him stuff that he enjoys.

So you're giving a man flowers, knowing he doesn't want them. But giving it so you can feel better about yourself and hope he feels grateful for this. Ok

Of course, this didn't need the qualifier: "as a man". Yes, stereotypically, men would be the ones buying flowers for women, but are we not trying to move beyond sexist stereotypes? They're so regressive. What you mean is that you, personally, don't want to receive flowers, and that's absolutely fine, but it should be a personal thing and not at all predicated by your sex.

I mean, this is specifically in response to people saying "people never buy men flowers, how sad," so I think yes, the qualifier is important.

Sexism has a negative conotation related to sexual descrimination. Flower giving and receiving is a stereotype because it is a culture heavily influenced by gender, but it is not sexist. Men and women are different, and stamping any conversation about those differences as sexism is dangerous

You could have chosen to not always accept the flowers 🤷🏻‍♀️.
