Love And Relationship Science

How we fall in love may be the hardest human behavior to explain. It is a fact that no one can measure or estimate love. It can come in various forms, hot, cold or scalding. Read on and know some human response to love and how good or discomforting it could be.

People Like Certain Things They See Or Hear
Humans are suckers for pretty things and lots more. Most men prefer women with large breast and a low waist to hip ratio which they perceive as a sign of fidelity. Most women like men with muscular bodies and a full beard. They later associate them with a sign of and a healthy flow of virility –introducing testosterone (a male sex hormone). Men with deeper voices are perceived naturally as having a high level of testosterone level and in one study were shown to have more children, suggesting that women respond to the way they sound.

The Lure Of Smell
Humans naturally respond to olfactory cues like all other animals. The menstrual cycle of women living together often synchronize, sometimes that is probably governed by scent. In the same way, men seem able to detect when women are ovulating – and thus are more fertile – and will behave more solicitously towards them during those times. Many women have reported that their men are more loving, attentive, and significantly, more jealous of other men during their ovulation period.

When Sex Becomes Love
Just been attracted to someone does not mean that that person is attracted back to you. A few things drive us crazy that we can not help but keep chasing something that is not meant for us.

At the moment of a kiss alone, there is a rich exchange of postural, physical and chemical information. Culturally, customs that warn against sex at first date may have emerged for such practical reasons as avoiding pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases but are also there for tactical reasons. Men or women who volunteers their babymaking services too freely and cheaply are not often valued in the long run. While those who seem more discerning are more likelier to be respected more. Immediately you start having early sexual intercourse, your eyes may become blind in that relationship. At times you begin to feel good without knowing that it is your brain that is making you feel so and not the attributes and qualities of your mates whom you are having sexual relationship with. Indeed, these attributes and qualities are values you should first search for before been distracted by sex.

When Love Dies
Love could become so strong but yet it is still indestructible. People who meet under some influences such as alcohol or drugs or in a state of high excitement, may cool off when their bodies return to baseline. Rejection activates some regions of the brain that controls addiction, which is why it can be hard to quit someone even after the person has quit you. The spurned lover who grows angry or needy can push the other person even further away which accelerates the split and may actually help both parties.

Many romantic relationships do not deliver goods. For all the joy it promises, it can also play us for fools, particularly when it convinces us that we have found the right person, only to upend our expectations later.

True Aim Of relationship
Happily, romance need not to come to ruin. Even irrational animal like us would have quit trying if the bet did not pay off sometimes. The eventual goal of many couples is to pass beyond serial dating into what is called companionate love. However, nearly all successful relationship must settle to cool. This is a hard truth but it is a comforting one. I will call it a smooth transition from a strong to a stablier state which you paid with the solidity you have built over the years.
