Liberals and conservatives are looking for entirely different things. Their attitudes toward romance and how they court are really dramatically different. There's almost no overlap.
You know, when you've been dumped, the one thing you love to do is just forget about this human being, and then go on with your life - but no, you just love them harder.
Until recently, we regarded love as supernatural. We were willing to study the brain chemistry of fear and depression and anger but not love.
We all have restlessness in long-term relationships.
We're apt to fall in love with those who are mysterious and challenging to us.
When you fight, anger drives up testosterone in both men and women.
Women are naturally prone to compete over their mates.
You size up someone physically in less than one second - too tall, too short, too fat, too thin, too old, too young, too stuffy, too scruffy.
Any time you choose not to hide your tattoo, you're limiting your social sphere, because they're not popular in big business.
There exists no culture in which adultery is unknown, no cultural device or code that extinguishes philandering.
A lot of people head into courtship looking for fireworks. Don't pass up a chance by dumping someone after a first date because you don't feel the fireworks. The fireworks can happen at any time and be maintained.
People kill for love. They die for love.
Your face and head give more information about you than any other body part.
I think the happiness we find, we make.
