Since the beginning of cinema, romantic movies have been beloved, 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 is not true for all women (but what statement is it?). However, with the busyness that consumes the daily lives of most women, many prefer watching romantic movies to reading romantic novels. It’s less time consuming, just as entertaining – or more so for some – and just as exciting.
Women love to use romantic movies to hit on men
Women love to watch romantic movies to drop hints to the men in their lives about what they should or shouldn’t be doing in their relationship. Some women watch the movies alone while taking notes or with her guy and ask him to take notes. Yes, a woman wants a man to chase 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. competence.
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. Stories of lost love and young love usually stir 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 why 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!
