Since the beginning of cinema, romantic movies have been much loved, predominantly by women. Today, when a new romantic comedy or drama hits theaters, it’s the perfect excuse for a ladies’ night out. Many men (and even some women) have wondered what it is about this film genre that attracts women. Here are 5 reasons why women love romantic movies.
Women love to be in touch with their emotions
Women are emotional beings, and not only do they have no problem showing their emotions, but many don’t mind having those emotions drawn from them. Sometimes it feels good to have a laugh or let the tears flow as she watches others go through the ebb and flow of finding love, falling in love and losing love.
Women prefer to watch rather than read romance
Okay, so this isn’t true for all women (but what statement is it?). However, with the hustle and bustle that consumes most women’s daily lives, many would rather watch romantic movies than read romantic novels. It’s less time consuming, just as entertaining—or more for some—and just as exciting.
Women love to use romantic movies to come on to men
Women love to watch romantic movies to drop clues to the men in their lives about what they should or shouldn’t be doing in their relationship. Some women watch movies alone while taking notes or with her guy and ask him to take notes. Yes, a woman wants a man to chase after her when she storms out after a fight, to serenade her from under her bedroom window, and of course to whisper sweet cinematic lines in her ear that give the classic ” You complete me” by Tom Cruise something serious. competition.
Women relate to characters or plot
Some romantic movies are just cheesy – and women can love them too – but some women love the more realistic movies, the ones they can painfully identify with. Usually, stories of lost love and young love arouse emotions in women and bring back old memories, but women can appreciate the way the movie made them feel and even enjoy the memories.
Women want to be the characters and live the plot
So what is the number one reason most women love romantic movies? Fantasy, of course! The happy ending is what every woman wants and few get to live in real life. It’s a nice escape from the reality of real life relationships for 90 minutes!
