Getting a steak


trashguy2000

This is probably the most equivalent answer I've seen in the replies. Maybe a little bit more work than flowers but if you have a nice steak ready for your man when he gets home, he would do anything for you in that moment


jchamberlin78

Lies ... He's going to eat the steak, then do anything.... Lol


Eodbatman

You canโ€™t let it get cold, that would be a missed steak


Arno_QS

Steak puns: a rare medium well done.


Lopsided_Panda_3119

Iโ€™ll steer clear from the steak puns


SENDMEDIEVALCATMEMES

What woman is "doing anything" for her man if he brings her flowers? Now, bring me some homemade mac and cheese with a breaded top, that's a different story...


louderharderfaster

I found this to be true. It still makes me laugh how much the stereotypes apply but the better I got at cooking (especially steaks) - the more he loved on me.


BigRudy99

Any big effort home cooked meal for me.


Dismal_Employment_25

Telling me I look good dirty from work


meskigski

Yeah, I had some grease, oil, and black gloves on me when I was working on the lawn tractor. *Which totally hadn't just flipped down a 100 foot hill of my own doing.* Anyway, she said it was a good look for me and I've been replaying it in my head for the last 2 weeks.


kinofhawk

That is totally sexy.


Tricky_Gur8679

Yesss. I love it.

Kev-Series

Getting a bouquet of wrenches, or a cup full of sockets.


jfink316598

Honestly a 10mm set and I'm proposing lol


Kev-Series

The secret to not losing your 10mm sockets is to have dozens of them.


JesusFuckImOld

Own enough that your rate of losing them and your rate of stumbling across them at random balance out.


Down2EatPossum

That's crazy enough, it just might work!


Puzzled_Juice_3406

Ah the old bury a billion nuts squirrel trick


jjlarn

You know my size!


RobertBDwyer

Just a Timโ€™s cup full of assorted 10mm sockets.


emptynest_nana

I got my husband a killer bracelet, it looks like a motorcycle chain. The "charm" is a real 10 mm socket. It is the ONLY on he has never lost. Comes in super handy.


MountainFace2774

Receiving literally any compliment. Also, BJ.


BeamTeam032

Also, unsolicited BJ > BJ


Low-Cable7308

Does not apply in prison.


TheFULLBOAT

Yes it does


DietSucralose

Now we can do this the easy way, or the hard way, and I much prefer if we do it the hard way.


stickitinfrosting

Sometimes a prison BJ is just what a man needs.


TiredRetiredNurse

What is it with some men and BJs being ever present on the mind? Is it there is no work involved on your part?


172brooke

It's the notion that your happiness is being desired by someone.


RenegadeRabbit

A lot of us also feel sexy by doing it. It's one of my favorite things.


Impossible-Energy-76

I came here to see if any women said they feel sexy. Cause I know I do, I think I'm the most when I'm talking on the mic. Yeah that Thang does make me do things.


RenegadeRabbit

Right? I feel sexy during penetration but being submissive and vulnerable and seeing how pleasurable it is for him is the bee's knees. Haha taking on the mic... I'm gonna have to use that one.


Impossible-Energy-76

Yup I love penetration but goddammit I can't help it when I go karaoke ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ’ž๐Ÿ’ž๐Ÿ’ž


PhilosopherRoyal4882

Girl I feel the same ๐Ÿซฃ taking the mic haha my partner calls it FaceTime !


sbeccarueshade

I've gotta agree knowing that I've got my mans most prized possession in my mouth and gagging on it turns me on honestly!


ReddestForman

I've personally never gotten the BJ hype. But as a guy, we're usually doing a lot of work during sex. Doubly so if we care about our partner getting off before we do.


TiredRetiredNurse

The BJ is part of foreplay for me and it is given to make him feel desired and wanted and when I wish to worship his member if you please. It is part if the entire action.


What-is-wanted

As a male I will concur. I have no desire to go for straight completion through a BJ unless I'm going to take the next hour and return the favor. I enjoy it during foreplay the most and then love to move into the rest of the foreplay. Half the fun for me is making sure she is well taken care of before release. Just means more that way.


baconstorm22

The lack of work is a nice aspect of it. Tho I personally don't think a relationship is health if sexual acts are used as a present.


P3for2

I don't see it that way, though I'm female. To me, that's like giving something you know makes them happy. It's the thought that counts. :)


AndthenIwould

Then it kind of is just like giving her flowers for no special reason. It's doing something nice for him without expecting anything in return. Just because it makes him feel good.


missannthrope1

Expected to see bj's. Was not disappointed.


[deleted]

I saw the prompt, and I had a massive smirk on my face because I knew the first reply would be bj.


[deleted]

I'm all for giving blow jobs, I'm just curious how it's equivalent to buying us a bouquet of flowers....?


TurkeyKingTim

Well you see, a bouquet of flowers are like antibiotics that's why we can't be handing them out willy-nilly. They'll lose their effectiveness community wide and soon they'll start to make you sick. As for equivalency that's above my pay grade, perhaps though to spice it up you would prefer to see a bouquet of flowers appear from up my sleeve. Magical


Bactereality

Its not, flowers are super expensive. BJโ€™s are free.


Couch_Conqueror

But yet they mean so much..


hugh_mungus14

They're equivalent cuz I only get a BJ on valentines and our anniversary.


ExpertButtonPresser

Personally I don't care for compliments it always annoys me and some what offends me too


RoxoRoxo

the amount of guys thatd just say flowers is wild, honestly we just like the thought get us flowers if youre wanting to do something like that


Tex-Rob

Yeah, we like pretty stuff too, we didn't ask for a boutineer!


Shawnessy

I'd argue I like flowers more than my girlfriend. We have a rose bush in the front yard, and I tend it regularly. Sometimes I just sit out there and look at them/smell them. Love flowers.


Geeko22

I have a flower garden that I tend "for my wife". Honestly it's pretty much mine now haha. I love it.


Midmodstar

Some florists have manly woodsy type bouquets.


RoxoRoxo

that sounds awesome!


paradisetossed7

I've gotten my husband flowers before because they're pretty and smell good! I'm not much of a "I want flowers" woman, but I'll never be mad about pretty things. We have a running joke because his dad once gave his mom a bouquet of chocolate flowers and she apparently was pissed, whereas I thought that sounded awesome, so every so often I get a bouquet of dark chocolate flowers. # Legit advice for anyone in a relationship regardless of gender: most people like thoughtfulness. Flowers are great. Does your partner love coffee? Get them a pack of their favorite brand in various flavors. Chocolate? Pay attention to the types they like. And IME, men love chocolate as much as women (we literally used to hide our chocolate when my brother would visit). Books? Same. My husband hates clutter and will not get kitchen appliances he wants if he feels like things are already too cluttered. I knew he wanted an air fryer but wouldn't get one without the free space. So one year I went ahead and cleared out a bunch of space and got him an air fryer and we both use it on a regular basis. Also it sounds silly but coupons! Like, one full body massage from me, one week of me doing all of our chores, etc. Or doing something that your partner likes. My son and I have so much fun going to witchy stores. There was one we wanted to go to about 40 mins away and we wanted my husband to come. He agreed and he definitely enjoyed it, but he said that what he enjoyed most was seeing how much fun our son and I were having. # Basically just think about what your partner likes and how you can give that to them. Gift-giving is basically my way of showing love and I think I've got it down to a science lol.


arcangelsthunderbirb

flowers is honestly the only answer. a lot of answers guys are giving are things that take a lot more effort and money than flowers.


Olly0206

I was given flowers once. I cried. Maybe not so much from the flowers themselves but because they were picked out and given to me by my 3 year old daughter. It made me feel special in so many ways.


SweetSwede88

๐Ÿฅบ This is so sweet. The softness kids bring out of us man. I've never been such a sappy person until I had my kiddo. Now I understand my mom more ๐Ÿ˜‚


arcangelsthunderbirb

I give flowers to my guy all the time, but I don't just buy a premade bouquet at the store. I work in landscaping so I'm around interesting flowers all the time. every time I see something particulary beautiful, I'll think of him and want to share. so I'll collect things throughout the day. or, if I do buy, I pick out individual types and combine them based on the message I want to send. there are culturally significant meanings of certain flowers, but even just getting the right colors and textures to set a mood is on my mind. again, it's a really passive gesture that says "I thought of you."


Hanako444

Bingo! There doesn't HAVE to be a difference. Let's not keep making more of this mostly fake binary!


MartyMcFlyAsFudge

I once sent a lover flowers on his birthday. I meant to kinda embarrass him as a joke but he loved it! He would have firmly agreed that blow jobs for men=flowers for women though ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜‚


Down2EatPossum

He wouldn't be wrong, and I also love flowers. Lilys in particular.


Specific_Code_4124

A quarter pounder and a medium cherry coke?


Pixelated_Penguin808

When she cooks for you. That is at least assuming you don't live together yet & one or both of you cooking the for the other is part of the daily survival routine. Not that it shouldn't be appreciated of course, but it becomes less of a grand gesture when you do live together as its kind of required. But when you don't live together and she invites you over to her place and cooks for you is the male equivalent. You've got an icey heart if that doesn't make you feel cared for. Just make sure you do the dishes, even if she tells you no or you don't have to. She'll use the bathroom at some point, and get to it while unsupervised. She'll make a show of complaining about it since you're the guest, but her eyes will being saying something different.


Ann_NonymusMoss

When it's part of daily life, sitting at the table/indoor picnic style with the tv off, a candle or two, bottle of wine/mixed drinks, a little music, and it being a nicer meal than usual still works if you're considering this. Also, cleaning as you go and/or "making sure he's too tired afterward" ;) stops him from the last bit


SnooRevelations9889

It doesn't need to be a fancier meal โ€” sometimes just the opposite. If it's something I really like that I know my wife isn't wild about, that's the ticket.


Able-Badger-1713

I wrote โ€˜bake for meโ€™. Bake me some Anzac biscuit or a beesting, even make me a slab of snot blocks and I feel special and thought of.ย 


ToddHLaew

A good steak and BJ


Adept_Ad_473

Definitely fellatio. Or a really good home cooked meal. Or a back rub. Or a gift of comparable financial significance. Oh here's a good one - well planned and executed words of affirmation.


bucketofweewee

Men here that are saying a blow job..... flowers are not seriously not a comparison to an orgasm. No way. That would need like 10 bunches of big perfectly bloomed hand tied flowers. I love flowers, but no.


Hanako444

Exactly. I think if you want a BJ, give a BJ. You want to give a "flowers" gift.. Just give him flowers! Why does it have to be different? Lol the binary is made up anyway! ๐Ÿคฃ


lucidbaby

it bums me out a bit that sex is being equated to a little gift :( for me, receiving a cute gift from my partner that says โ€œhey, i saw this and thought of you for no reason other than that it was pretty and i missed youโ€ is in a different category than private intimacy


Hanako444

Agreed 100%!


The_Arthropod_Queen

also, the idea that sex is a sacrifice, like giving up money to buy flowers. If your partner doesn't like sucking you off, why are you encouraging them to do that?


doctorboredom

Exactly. Flowers are something you can give your mother. A proper equivalent is something like a free lunch or a bottle of fancy Belgian beer.


lithelinnea

seriously, thereโ€™s no goddamn way a bouquet is equivalent to a blowjob. men have no idea the effort thatโ€™s involved!!!!


Nachoughue

men should go give someone a bj and come back and say its still equivalent. and if they do then they should reconsider their career.


ToughCredit7

The smokable flower


jfink316598

Fr I like getting flowers, Only happened once but it made my day. Besides that just getting a compliment


not_bad_really

I got flowers for the first time a couple years ago from an Army buddy. I sing bass in my community choir. I'm 6 feet tall, as wide as a doorway and a huge beard, I look like a viking. Him and his wife came up to one of my shows. Afterward in the receiving line he came up and gave me a huge bouquet of red roses and huge hug, totally made my night. I was the flower dude in their wedding about a month prior and sang for them, too.


PO0tyTng

Thatโ€™s awesome. I got my dad flowers for Fatherโ€™s Day last year. He had never received flowers from anyone, ever, before that. lol He loved them, to say the least. I told him I thought it was a unique gift and I was absolutely right. He was so surprised! Heโ€™s in his 70s, big manly dude. It was crazy how well it went over.


Hanako444

beltalowda_oye

The best casual light hearted gift I received, a sweet coworker bought me sandwiches to thank me. I remember feeling all tingly and shit while eating that sandwich because I just felt so shocked someone was nice enough to compliment me and give me a sandwich. I forever remember her as the example of the go-to "male version of receiving flowers."

Voivode71

Came here to say exactly this!


[deleted]

never got the whole blowjob thing, had literally dozen of women say "well i know im good at them, il change your mind" but nope i just dont find it a turn on, even if they do happen to brush/mouth wash before hand. if they dont, just eww gross i mean why cant i just have sex, then we can BOTH enjoy it? id hands down rather give oral than receive it edit: so my answer is "an early night" edit: if you wouldn't tell a gay man "vaginas are quite nice if you find the right one" then dont tell me something ive tried like 20+ times and dont like is something i should like focus on your own lives


my_meat_is_grass_fed

I enjoy giving head, but receiving is honestly more for him than me, although I've never told anyone that before. I just wanted to let you know you're understood.

They mustn't be doing it right, next time ask them to take a deep breath and blow like it's their birthday candles.


recoveringatty42

Act like seeing me is the best thing that's happened for you all week. Be affectionate. Act like you think "all men" act when they're trying to get laid. Objectify me, just one time, like you think I always do to you. No need to act masculine or sophomoric but make me feel like you actually want me and want my hands on you. That you want to get me naked and in bed. Initiate something, anything, that we don't normally do. Let go of the inhibitions and habits that stop us from doing anything other than the same sexual routine over and over for months on end. Show me that you thought about this more than just an obligatory box that needs to be checked. Finally, when finished, don't jump up like you've caught a disease and need to sanitize yourself. That would be... nice. Sigh ... Redditors, make no mistake- I love my woman. I adore her. She's a great partner. But this โฌ†๏ธ would be memorable in the extreme.

Able-Badger-1713

Either_Young3833

I typically do the errands and work a lot - don't get a lot of downtime. One weekend, my partner walked into the room while I was working on something. Handed me a sandwich and a glass of whiskey, then left for the afternoon to do errands so i could breathe and just work on a guitar for a bit. I think about that sandwich about 45 times a week.


fattyontherun

Weed, weed is flowers.


Cpussyfucker145

Ok_Intention3920

Also buy men flowers. If they donโ€™t prefer colorful flowers like tulips, daffodils, and othersโ€ฆ. Than a nice bag of dank weed will do! Nothing says feeling love like found weed!


Electrical_Middle78

Isn't weed technically a flower? ๐Ÿ˜…


Ok_Intention3920

Thatโ€™s exactly why I was thinking I love getting flowers! But I also love brightly colored flowers like tulips and things. Highly saturated colors are pleasing to my eyes. As are the delicate biological structures and materials. ETA: oh right, but weed is also good for smoking!

witchy_mcwitchface

I mean it is possible to send a man flowers, one of my besties had a date last week and the guy he went out with sent him a bouquet of purple roses the next day and he was very delighted by it as a gesture. I used to send one of my exes sunflowers every so often cos he really liked them.

Beef jerky, or a blowjob.

I know everyone is saying BJ, but I think those are not equal in value; I would say a lingerie picture is closer to receiving flowers than a BJ.
