JOIN USWant to woo an attractive woman? Next time, hit not the bar but a florist’s shop!A new French study has found that one of the best places for a man to propose a woman is outside a flower shop, ‘The Independent’ reported.
Researchers from the University of Southern Brittany in France found that one in four lone female shoppers gave their telephone number to an attractive stranger when they were courted in front of a flower shop.
The figure was more than twice the number of people who succumbed to the same proposition near a shoe shop.
During the study, a panel of women picked five young men who stood out as exceptionally good-looking. The men were then sent to shopping areas to approach 120 young women near flower, shoe and cake shops.
The presence of flowers, associated as they are with romance, may trigger positive feelings in women, making them more likely to agree, the researchers concluded.
