    Where I work the owner of the company brings in flowers for all the girls on Valentines day. Every year sure enough I take the flowers, thank him, and then forget them in my car until I remember to throw them away.

    A few weeks ago I had a really bad day and a friend of mine bought me LIME GREEN flowers to cheer me up - I appreciated the gesture for what it was... but only because she's a vegetarian and wouldn't have felt right getting me bacon Hahahaha!

    Flowers are pointless.

    I prefer bacon.

    This. Expect a bacon sandwich instead of flowers.

    I always find flowers depressing. Why buy something that is basically dead so someone can put it in a vase and watch them rot.

    But....some flowers last for weeks and even up to a month....

    And, have you ever watched a rose bloom? Even watching it die is beautiful.... Not so depressing....

    It is, as others have said, the thought behind getting the flowers that count. I am not a "flower person" per se, but a guy always gets extra points for thinking to get them

    You could realy insert anything here for flowers.

    [Guys, Gals] Do you think __________ is/are pointless? Would you buy a [someone] _____________even if you thought they were if s/he liked them?


    Being able to answer yes to this question (filling in the blanks for whatever makes your partner happy/joyful/turned on) is the foundation of any great long term relationship. This is the core tenant of many marriage and relationship books I have read.

    I hear what you're saying but, that's like saying Autumn (fall) is depressing!! Flowers bloom and then they die, it's the natural order of things. Enjoy them while they are alive and look pretty :flowerforyou:

    As a girl who has never got flowers in her life from the opposite sex, I'd love flowers.

    It's not a big thing, but just once, I'd like to see a delivery man come to my work and see this big, beautiful bouquet of flowers, and have them be for me.

    Part of the beauty of flowers is that they are not dead. they are very much alive. They'll die after awhile, but technically they are alive. Depending on the flowers, it's just hard for me to find that life, light, and beauty anywhere else. Except maybe a gorgeous sunrise or sunset.

    Oh, and regarding flowers, does anyone else hate that most flowers at the florist/grocery store/wherever these days do NOT smell pretty? Especially roses? When I was younger, roses used to smell fabulous. Nowadays they look good but no pretty rose smell.
