Let's just say that I've never done a single dumbbell fly in my life yet I always get young men telling how my chest "looks nice" and "sits so high". You'd think they were talking about a girl's ass.
550/385/655, 285 overhead press, 330 push jerk, 250 weighted dip, 190 weighted pull-up, 413.8 max weighted pull-up, 450 front squat, 365 RFESS, 305 x 2 log press, 400 (per arm) farmer's carry, 370 atlas stone, 31 pull-ups at 247.

i havnt found a need for them
but i bet almost every big name pro bb'er does them...“I'm bloated, puffy and holding a little water. I lack definition, I am lethargic and at times have no ab visibility. But if you can't handle me when I'm bulking, then you sure as hell don't deserve me when I'm shredded.” - Marilyn Munbro

cable flys are better methinks.
Continuous resistance on cables, vs. no resistance at the top of the movement for db flys.

flyes really feel good at the end of my chest workout to get an extra stretch and burn, i never go heavy or anything i just focus on form, really slow and squeeze my pecs together

Necessary? No. But that being said, technically no single exercise is necessary to develop a muscle. Is it a good exercise? Definitely. I love db flys!
Consistency.
Intensity.
Motivation.

Not required, but it's a very good exercise.

DB flys are the single most worthless exercise on the planet IMO. I always told myself that if I ended up doing them for any reason, I might as well off myself.
