Answer 1

Answer 2

1) True. The adrenaline rush, the chemicals in your brain, the sweat and pounding heart . . . you better believe it. However, this is always only in the first stages of love- the sort of lusty infatuation period. Once you graduate to a different, longer lasting sort of love, the chemicals in your brain change to something more muted and low-key (but still good!).

2) False. Depends on the task. It goes either way. For example, if I had to choose between a gorgeous blonde woman or a unattractive, nerdy girl to fix my computer, you bet I'm going with the nerd. And of course a lot of the time it's the other way around. It's not fair, but we do judge on looks.

3) True. People seem to like to say this as an evil truth, but the sheer majority of couples who are on opposite ends of the attractive spectrum (how does one even judge that?) says no. People fall in love over more than looks.

4) True. The truth will set you free, and being honest and open is the best way to make a relationship stick. When you know how your partner feels, and he/she knows how you feel, it greatly decreases jealousy, fear, worries, concerns, distrust, anger, and so on.

Hope that helps!

Answer 3

1. True. I'm scared all the time... especially interested in someone. I must be in love!!

2. True. I am petrified to initiate something with another... Am I an attractive person?!! I think so! But I'm modest. I'm not over the top gorgeous either... I see attractive people as having got it all together...

3. False. Makes good sense to me... I see this all the time. Though, I have seen a real dog with a hottie and wonder what the hell they got...

4. False. Telling "all" destroys a relationship Be selective in your truth-telling and gradual. A relationship thrives on spontaneity. Telling all, especially too fast will just make you clingy and push people away.

Answer 4

1. Yes...queasy stomach, cold sweaty palms, hightened senses, expectations, lack of appetite. This is with acute fear and lust...Love itself is once you have found comfort with someone and know them well. Symptoms of each are directed by chemicals in the body -

Love involves the following chemicals: lust = testosterone / attraction = dopamine, norepinepherine, and decreases in seratonin / attachment = oxytocin

Fear involves the following chemicals: Dopamine, seratonin, acetylcholine, nitric oxide and norepinepherine

2. Attractive to many means attention to ones self. Attractive could mean snappy dresser, good hair/teeth/hygine/fitness - all things that are fixable. Attractive to others is intelligence, good conversation, nice personality. But attractive does NOT mean competent...some of the prettiest people I know are very stupid. The more time they spend working on their bodies, the less time they spend working on their personalities.

3. Yes. I know ugly people that are with pretty people. HOWEVER, there is a trade-off. All relationships are equal on some level....ie; ugly guy is rich, pretty girl is stupid. (theres a stereotype for ya!) But when you boil things down...relationships are based on what you can get from the other person. Be it love, comfort, security, companionship, money, a future, validation, etc...think of it...if your S.O. didn't give you things, feelings, or emotions (all things we crave from others)would you stay with them? If you aren't giving as much as you are taking - (or vice versa) it probably won't be successful.

4. Yes. A relationship isn't about sex, money, liking the same food....it's about TRUST. You should be able to tell your S.O. ANYTHING. And be the person that they can tell ANYTHING to. Even if it's infidelity. Yeah, you'll get upset, think about it...and if the relationship is good enough get over it and move on. Women are different than men though...women tend to equate sex with love. For men, they are two distinct things. For men, sex is like eating. It's just something you do, albeit enjoyable and done in moderation (and sometimes there are things the doctor (or your S.O. tells you to stay away from)...but it all boils down to trust. Set your limits in the relationship and trust each other to live up to it ...then be honest if and when you screw up.
