Being in love is one of the most beautiful feelings you can experience in your life, but love can also bring a lot of sadness and pain....CONTINUE READING
These facts may help you understand why these feelings arise?
1. You only have 4 minutes to impress the person you are attracted to.
First impressions are that important. But more important than what you say or how you say it, is your body language.
2. Being in love has neurological effects similar to cocaine.
When we are in love we release chemicals that produce euphoria, just like this drug.
3. When you hear the phrase “opposites attract” they are not saying anything that is not true.
Couples with too many similarities are less likely to last together. There do have to be some similarities to be compatible.
4. Falling in love is a primal instinct
The need to fall in love is a primitive instinct like hunger, sleep or sex.
5. You are more likely to fall in love with someone close to you.
Although love at a distance can work, the closeness of people leads them to increase their emotional state, hence love often arises between people who work in the same place and have to share many hours.
6. Symbols of love
The maple leaf is a symbol of love in China and Japan.
7. The apple has also been a symbol representing love.
The Celts associated it with this fruit because it lasts so long after being cut from the tree. And in ancient Greece, if a man threw an apple at a woman, it was considered a marriage proposal.
8. We can fall in love with a person after we have left a relationship.
Often, as a result of a failed relationship, a kind of attraction arises that is called frustration, which makes us love the person who has left us.
9. How many times can we fall in love?
If you have not fallen in love at least 7 times, you are not ready to get married, or so says a study that puts in this figure the number of times we have to do it before saying “I do”.
10. In situations of danger it is easier for love to emerge
When you meet someone in the middle of a dangerous situation, love is more likely to arise. Hence our weakness for superheroes…
11. Seeing a picture of the person you love has an analgesic effect…
The picture of the person you love calms the pain, yes yes, as you hear, it is scientifically proven that seeing the image of the loved one reduces pain by up to 44% as well as paracetamol. And if it also has such a good look, all the more reason.
12. Listening to romantic music predisposes you to love.
Did you know that a woman is more likely to meet a stranger after listening to romantic music?
13. Men are generally more huggers and women are more kissers.
Men value hugs and kisses more than women. Contrary to popular belief, men are happier if they are hugged and caressed by their partners.
14. Genetics also plays a role in love
Genetics plays a very important role when it comes to finding the other half, because thanks to smell we can recognise people who are genetically different and thus avoid falling in love with relatives.
15. The formula for love
We give you the formula for love: intimacy + passion + commitment = true love.
16. Love is blind
And as a final point, love is blind! When you’re in love the part of your brain associated with judgement is suppressed, which prevents you from seeing your partner’s flaws.
So knowing these scientifically proven facts, you decide whether or not falling in love is worth it… Yes it is!
