More quotes by Helen Fisher
Barriers tend to intensify romance. It's called the 'Romeo and Juliet effect.' I call it 'frustration attraction.'
Helen Fisher
There were real reasons that you were attracted to somebody originally. The brain doesn't pick willy-nilly. Unless you part ways hating each other for some reason, that mechanism could get triggered again. You can literally fall in love again.
Helen Fisher
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.
Helen Fisher
As women in industrial societies join the paid workforce, they gain the economic means to depart unhappy marriages more easily.
Helen Fisher
Any kind of novelty or excitement drives up dopamine in the brain, and dopamine is associated with romantic love.
Helen Fisher
Young women today do not marry the men they met in high school, or even the one they go out with at college, because they do not need to.
Helen Fisher
Today, most women are surrounded by ingenious gadgets. They don't grow the peas or raise the chicken that they serve for dinner instead they hunt and gather in the grocery store. They go through catalogs or department stores to buy clothes instead of shearing sheep, carding wool, and weaving cloth for skirts and coats and blankets.
Helen Fisher
People compose poetry, novels, sitcoms - for love.
Helen Fisher
Women have never been as interesting as they are now. Not at any time on this planet have women been so educated, so interesting, so capable.
Helen Fisher
Today, American women bear an average of 2.2 children that live to adulthood. Across most of Europe, women bear even fewer young.
Helen Fisher
I've always maintained that men were more romantic than women.
Helen Fisher
There exists no culture in which adultery is unknown, no cultural device or code that extinguishes philandering.
Helen Fisher
Globalization requires taking a broad contextual and long-term view.
Helen Fisher
When you massage someone, the levels of oxytocin go up in the brain, and oxytocin is one of the chemicals that drives attachment.
Helen Fisher
There's biology in everything, even when you're feeling spiritual.
Helen Fisher
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.
Helen Fisher
In courtship, who wins and who loses will determine who passes on their DNA to tomorrow.
Helen Fisher
Men are so visual, they see a woman who appeals to them physically, and it will trigger the romantic love system faster.
Helen Fisher
Whether you're married or not, relationships - and the satisfaction tied to them - are extremely important for increasing men's and women's quality of life.
Helen Fisher
When people tell you to walk a certain way, it's like not thinking of a purple tomato. You can't not do it.
Helen Fisher
