Reasons Why Women Love Flowers
1. They show that you are thinking of her
The problem with men is, they tend to be more emotionally reserved as compared to women. As a result, women have a hard time guessing where they stand and how much they matter to men. When men send a beautiful
hand bouquet out of the blue, it shows that they have been thinking of their other half and is seen as a physical affirmation of love.
Also, sending flowers after an offhand remark made by the woman demonstrates that you have been listening and paying attention to her, which is way, way more important than any verbal expression of affection!
If you have trouble choosing the right bouquet for your loved ones, call our expert florist at 8555 1805 for further assistance!
2. Women like to admire them
The term biophilia means "the urge to associate with other forms of life". This basically means that we as humans tend to feel a certain emotional connection to nature and other lifeforms, such as animals. This is also the reason why being around nature relaxes the mind and body.
Similarly, women naturally feel a genuine happiness when they are around flowers, bringing about a natural inclination to exhibit a real smile. The positive hormonal reaction also increases women receptivity to romance, as a study suggested, especially because of the popular association of flowers with messages of love and romance.
3. Sending flowers makes them the center of attention
Men are not the only ones with ego, because women also enjoy the feeling of being noticed by others, for the right reasons of course! And sending a bouquet of flowers to her office will instantly make her the envy of everyone, and even if we deny it, we do enjoy being envied by others! So guys, it is time to send some flowers to her office, and table arrangements are a great choice as they tend to last longer and could be conveniently placed on display right on her work table for her to admire during the workday. A bonus is how she will always be reminded of you when she glances at the flowers!
4. They like how awkwardly difficult it is for men to buy and send them flowers
Men often complain that women are mysterious creatures, due to their whims and fancies. They are not completely untrue, because we gain some weird satisfaction when we see men doing things they are uncomfortable with just for us! Men seem to be allergic to florists, as they shuffle their feet and stand around being awkward when they are required to buy flowers. Yet they do it anyway, because they are aware that it is one of the best ways to bring a smile on her face! By doing something they disliked, we can feel their sincerity and how much they value us, thus making this one of the reasons why women loves flowers!
5. Women deserve them
