It is true. Ask any woman. Why do "I love you" in French is more appealing to a woman ears than "I love you" in English or German or Russian etc? and they respond better to it that way? Same semantics, (expressing love), but different synatx (sound wise). So, what you think is only syntactic sugar, for others might be more. It might have some deeper feelings associated with it, that brings up some images associated with personal emotions. Bob who_needs_to_learn_french_to_improve_his_social_life
