Indian Express, Agencies, London:Women are far more likely to find a man attractive and accept a date with a stranger if they are in the presence of colourful flowers, a new study has shown. The associations between flowers and romance are so strong that the man doesn’t even have to buy a bunch of flowers himself. Nicolas Gueguen, a psychologist at the University of South Brittany, also found that just a pot of daffodils on a nearby
table or a splash of colour from the garden will soften the female heart. In one study, Gueguen asked 46 female student volunteers to sit in a room on their own and watch a video of a man talking about himself. Half the students watched the video in a room brightened up with three vases of flowers – a mix of roses, daisies and marigolds. The rest sat in an identical room without flowers. When they had watched the video in the room decorated with pots of flowers, they rated the man as more attractive and
were more willing to go on a date with him. In a second study, the same experiment was repeated with 122 single women aged from 18 top 20. This time after they had watched the video, they were led into a room and told to sit down where a man was waiting. The women were told he was a fellow student taking part in the experiment, but in reality he was an actor, recruited by the scientists. When the pair were left alone the man was instructed to talk for five minutes about the experiment and then ask the woman on a date.Source: Indian Express
