they only last so long, and they just throw them away

My husband used to say the same thing as you. Now we compromised. He buys me planters or small trees so we can plant them & have them around for a long time. And his tightwad self doesn't feel like he wasted his money on something that will die a week later. And I have pretty plants that bloom all year!

Oh, it has almost nothing to do with the flowers themself. Though they are pretty and girls like getting them just as much as boys like watching porn!
The real thing I've noticed when dealing with my boyfriend's over the years is that flowers say "I was thinking of you and I wanted to make you happy." The same thing can be said by preparing a girl a special meal, taking her somewhere or doing something other than the usual dating stuff something that is special specifically for her, or buying a riomantic "Just Because" greeting card or other token gift.
Girls show guys how much they like them ALL the time. Guys do not and most of the time we just deal with that. So we need flowers, gifts, special gestures every now and again to remind us that you like us just as much as we like you.

They're not mad. They're disappointed. Not disappointed in you. But disappointed that maybe you don't like them as much as they hope you do. You can't really tell someone that, so, then they get frustrated and pissed off. Plus, how difficult is it to show up with a flower or two once in a while?

Because they are all so lost in the consumerism based self-deluding version of romance that most fail to take each relationship as it's own being and instead judge it by what they've seen on commercials. Most will even attempt to justify this behavior while not realizing the real reason they think the way they do.

Girls tend to be more attracted towards flowers than other things.
They expect to get a flower eveytime when they meet a guy

Better duck for cover now while you have chance. Girls are nuts about flowers. I think its some kind of bragging rights thing. "My man gave me flowers what about yours. Aw too bad!" LOL

don't generalize. actually, flowers are an expression of how much you apprciate the person, and personally, i don't throw the flowers that were given to me no matter how much they wilt.
