Why do humans find sunsets romantic?

Question

Is there a science behind it?

Answer 1

"...sitting on the cold,wet sand. As i listened to the waves and the wind, i spotted the sun hiding in the night.slowly it drifted downward toward the vast open water. Seeing this sight, made me think about tom. As i gazed on, the sun finally vanished leaving the sky vibrant colors of pink, maroon and yellow...." that was in a book i read. Here is an internet paragraph about low light and red:
Candles are romantic. Sunrises and sunsets are romantic. Any kind of low light, you see, is romantic, hence why dinner dates after dark are more romantic than lunch dates at noon. Combine low light sources, and it stands to reason that the air of romance will be so thick, your beloved will be blind to anything else but the radiance of her shimmering knight in armor. Open the curtains on a sunset and light some candles, and you might even be able to get away with watching a football game during dinner.

Red
Red is romantic, because red is the color of love and passion. Consider roses. Red roses mean, "I love you." Yellow roses mean, "Let's just be friends," which is synonymous with, "You are irritating, and I hate you." So you do not want to be wrong. Get her red roses, red ribbons, red balloons, red teddy bears, red puppies, and red tickets to the World Series, and she'll fall hopelessly under your spell.

Hope this was the answer!

Answer 2

In a way. It is based on emotion and (slightly) emotionally programing. The most common is in movies, where plot build up and music make you see it as 'romantic'. Thus mainstream cuture has made sunsets romantic by association. This is the same with sunsets being an ending. Along with it as the end of the day, there is the typical American western gunslinger into the sunset. Then there is also- when do you focues on the sunset? Chances are very rarely unless you are in a 'romantic' situation. In short, it's about cultureal assumptions. How's that?

Answer 3

I think it's been moved from 'restful' to romatic by the young folks.... to a man who works the fields, sunset is the time when his work is done, his meal awaits and then the loving arms of his lady..... that would be plenty to instill the love of sunset in mankind.... for the younger folks, tho, sunset was the time to sneak that kiss when it was less likely you'd be seen, but before you had to be home cuz it was dark..... plus, more folks are awake to see the sunset than they are to see an equally lovely sunRISE......
