Why Women Like Flowers
One of the best, and easiest, ways to bring a smile to a woman's face is to give her flowers. But to a lot of guys these things may be pretty and frilly, but they have absolutely zero practical use, unlike a television or a car for example. "What's the deal?" you may be thinking. "I just don't get it". Well my friend, we're here to help you decipher yet another feminine mystery; today we'll answer that puzzling question, "Why do women like flowers?"
They Are Traditional
The giving of flowers as a gift stretches back into the far reaches of history. The Greeks and Egyptians gave symbolic meanings to the flowers long ago, some of which we still use today. In the Victorian era these meanings were used as a complex message system, signaling everything from romantic love to forlorn rejection. In fact, when a man in this time wanted to start officially courting a woman, he would present her with a bouquet of flowers to begin the ritual. Flowers are a timeless symbol of love and affection, and every woman loves to be adored.
They Play to Our Senses
The wonderful thing about a bouquet of flowers is that they are a multi-sensory experience. The myriad colors are a feast for our eyes, and the smells that come from the open blooms are simply divine. Also, a flower's petals are soft and smooth to the touch. Flowers provide stimulation for the senses, and give a woman a moment to stop her busy day to immerse herself in the smell, sight, and feeling of her precious bouquet.
Flowers Are Often Outside a Man's Comfort Zone
For men, buying flowers is not a natural instinct. While he may feel comfortable in the local auto store, a florist can seem like an alien planet full of feminine sights and sounds. When a man buys flowers for a woman he is often venturing out of his comfort zone. While he may not know much about flowers, a man who buys his woman a bouquet feels deeply enough for her to endure some discomfort in order to make her happy. Just the thought of a man going out on a limb for her will make most women insanely happy.
You may feel like you are clueless when you go out to buy flowers, and that's alright, not everyone is an expert. Before you bag the whole idea though, remember the above tips about why women love flowers, and think of how much she will love the bouquet you bring her.
