Why do women like flowers?

They remember the birth days of the family members and give importance to them. Men on the other hand forget even the marriage anniversary. Women also remember the important incidents happened in their lives such as visiting a tourist spot with family etc... I sometimes wonder why there is such a vast difference between man and woman. May be these differences attract them together, lol?

I personally like flowers because if my husband brings me flowers I know he was thinking of me. And that's besides the, they're pretty and smell good part. That's why we (me) likes getting them. I learned in science opposites attract so maybe that works for relationships too. I mean, really who wants someone just like them...bore me.

Yes, Gina it is natural that you love flowers. If man is also having similar tastes like woman, the attraction might miss, who knows, lol?

Personally, i believe that we as women are more in touch with our emotional side than man are, we also appreciate more things in life than man. like you mention flowers, most of us like flowers some of us prefer other things like a diamond ring, a getaway present like going to the spa but, others appreciate the simplest things in life like, waking up in the morning to see your husband or boyfriend sound asleep by your side,breakfast in bed or working mom coming home to a lovely dinner and a clean house all made up, we as women just know how to appreciate the simplest things in life cause we know its important and it shows how much men loves and appreciate us.

Hello my dear brother, How are u again...missed your discussion for a long time na. Well,most women loves flowers.I do love flowers,but not that much,i mean,if someone gives me flowers,then,it's fine i would really appreciate it.And if,there is no one to give,.,it is also fine with me. But i am not the kind of woman who would buy flowers as present in every occassions. I do give gifts/presents,but flowers..uhmnn...not so often. So,maybe i can't contribute with this one my brother,coz,i am not a flower lover

thank you so much my brother With regards the difference between man and woman,well,God made man first and then God created woman for man,as his wife,to help him and be with him,to look after him and be his strength and weakness. And yah,opposite poles attracts it's ends,the mysteries of woman charms and the energy of a man's empowering woman. The beauty of a woman and the masculinity of man. There are reasons for all these difference,but all i know is,man and woman were created by God meant for each other

I think it's just because woman and man are just totally two different kind, and that's how they're created and meant to be completing each other. Remember back when a book discussing this, as woman and man often fails in accomodating their difference and entrapped in heart-breaking disputes trying to manipulate each other. The book is Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus. So when they come to earth, fall in love each other and forget if they're different, then the quarreling begins. Accept that woman and man are different from each other and focusing on how to fill in each other and not changing the nature way of each other, will help a lot in relationship. Difference on why woman like flowers while man not, is one vivid example of the difference. That will be awful if man also like flower then everytime you guys hanging out together, you bring flowers for your guy buddies, intead of bring your latest game dvd's, LOL.

You sound very practical and meaningful dpauli. We need to accept their tastes and respect them as well. That is what life is about.

Hi Vijay. I think, yes, there are definite differences between men and women, but also many things the genders have in common. I love flowers because they are beautiful in color and smell. But then, a lot of men also love plants and flowers. As you said, though, in most, but not all families, it tends to be the woman who tends to birthdays of extended family, etc. But I've been fortunate that most of the men I know remember at least their wives birthdays, if not their children or grandchildren!

when u give flowers to a woman, she feels adored. flowers are symbols of love and affection and the woman likes this. flowers also appeal to our different senses. the beautiful color is a feast to the eyes; the fragrance of flowers appeals to our nose and the softness of the petal appeals to the touch. a woman always stops to enjoy these sense-appealing things.

Yes whenever you gift something to someone that person feels that he/she is cared and remembered by the person who gave the gift. flowers have the same meaning, I think.

Women like flowers because women born to be romantic compare to men. Flowers for us is a symbol of willingness, love, honesty and sincerity of a guy towards women. Thus, as we have observe when a man is attracted to a woman, he give flowers.

Yes, you are right, I agree with you that women are more romantic than men. That is why men love them, hehehe.

While it is true that many women love flowers, vijayanths, I have found that there are also many men who have an equal appreciation for beautiful flowers. I base my conclusion on the shows that I watch regularly on TV. Some of the best shows in this genre feature men as hosts. Surely there are a majority of men who are more tuned into interests like sports, but there are also those who prefer to show their more sensitive nature by endeavoring to beautify their surroundings with plants and flowers.

I do love flowers, but no passion for them. Exceptions will be there always worldwise. we need to take the general case for discussion. as you rightly said majority of men love sports.

well, its not those little things that bind them together. Its something nature created, a three letter words that does. And to continue to exist, we must practice that three letter word. As for these things, I never figured it out myself. I have a bad bad memory as guys tend to have. We do stuff, don't think about stuff we did. Girls just keep thinking.

I think it is the women who keep families together by remembering the dates and each and every joueus moment in life with the family. Men on the other hand are least bothered if they want to stay in touch with others or not. It is natural i believe with women to give importance to everything and people who matter to them.

I don't think that women like flowers specifically. They just like to be shown that they are being thought of and appreciated. Flowers are just an easy way to show this and the most common. You could always get more creative and earn extra bonus points.

I can understand a woman's feelings jugsjugs. I personally won't rate my woman's love with the gifts and remembering anniversaries.

Hi, vijayanths! I believe women like flowers because flowers are beautiful and colorful and it seems woman are drawn to beautiful, delicate things. Of course I realize not every woman loves flowers, but for the vast majority, a bouquet of roses from the man in their life is a lovely expression of his affection for her.

Yes, ItalianAngel, women seem to have a better taste than men? They are soft nature, no wonder they love flowers.

Men and women are hotwired differently; in other words, they're made having these differences, which yes, are meant to attract them. What a man tends to not have the most of (remembering events, etc.), women tend to have the most of, and vice versa. Taken together, a man and a woman pretty much complete and complement the other; no one person is better than the other.
