Why Women Love The Color Red

This article from USA Today says they know why women prefer red roses. It's science. Yep, neuroscientists Anya Hurlbert and Yazhu Ling of England's Newcastle University, authored a new study in the journal Current Biology that suggests the color red preference for women is due to evolution. You see, back in the day of men as hunters, women as gatherers, women developed a keen eye for yellow fruit and red edible leaves in the middle of green vegetation. Over time, this ability stuck.

Another suggestion made by the scientists are that a woman's intuition is really their ability to pick up slight changes in skin tone (as in blushing and the like) with their sharper sense for the color red. So men, if you think she's reading you like a book--she probably is!
