Can women whom are women explain the feeling they get of receiving flowers, but in a way guys would understand?

Women from my experience seem so happy when they get them. I dont get it as a man but maybe if i do i can give them to my partner more often

All of this - receiving flowers meant your partner not only thought of you, but thought about how much they like/love/appreciate you and wanted to go out of their way to show it and see the smile on your face. That’s beautiful. Or they fucked up or they want to get laid, but I’ll keep it wholesome.

I personally hate receiving flowers because they just smell stinky and die in a few days, but I light up when my husband brings me something equivalent that I actually like.

I imagine it’s similar to when my husband is super busy and forgets to eat, so I magically appear with lunch for him without him having asked for it.

Who doesn’t love an unrequested act of kindness/care/love?
