Until recently, we regarded love as supernatural. We were willing to study the brain chemistry of fear and depression and anger but not love.
From Helen Fisher
There's a lot of talk about the positive aspects of love. We as a society downplay the danger, the anxiety, and the disappointment. We romanticize romance.
Women apparently are quite drawn to men who have differences rather than similarities in their histocompatibility system. They pick it up by smell, and they can pick it up from kissing.
If we remained perpetually infatuated, we couldn't eat, sleep or work.
The human brain is built to compare; it's Darwinian to consider an alternative when one presents itself.
We're not very dangerous animals; we don't have a horn like a rhino or quills like a porcupine.
It's almost as if men who get tribal tattoos are trying to signal that they are dangerous, they're to be respected, and they're powerful.
Any time you choose not to hide your tattoo, you're limiting your social sphere, because they're not popular in big business.
Your face and head give more information about you than any other body part.
People compose poetry, novels, sitcoms - for love.
