More quotes by Helen Fisher
Men and women are like two feet they can help each other get ahead.
Helen Fisher
People have been looking for love potions since hunter-gatherer societies.
Helen Fisher
There exists no culture in which adultery is unknown, no cultural device or code that extinguishes philandering.
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
If we remained perpetually infatuated, we couldn't eat, sleep or work.
Helen Fisher
Overdone lipstick is a deterrent to men. It rubs off easily onto their skin and the edges of their shirts, so it discourages them from kissing, touching, and coming closer to you, which is what they really want to do!
Helen Fisher
Scientists know that women gravitate to men who have a different immune system from theirs.
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
Experiences shape the brain, but the brain shapes the way we view experiences, too.
Helen Fisher
love is like Someone is camping in your head
Helen Fisher
You can get into a very fancy car and know everything about the engine, but when you drive in that car, you feel that rush. In the same way, I think the more you know about love, the more you can enjoy it. And knowing about your personality type, who you are and what kind of person you're dealing with gives you a great leg up.
Helen Fisher
You've got to remember that men are men and women are women. And although a lot of similarities, there are some real differences.
Helen Fisher
It's almost as if men who get tribal tattoos are trying to signal that they are dangerous, they're to be respected, and they're powerful.
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
There's magic to love... Millions of years ago we evolved three basic drives: the sex love, romantic love, and attachment to a long-term partner. These circuits are deeply embedded in the human brian. They're going to survive as long as our species survive on what Shakespeare called, this mortal coil.
Helen Fisher
Romantic love is one of the most addictive substances on Earth.
Helen Fisher
At first I assumed hate was the opposite of love. But it isn't. The opposite of love is indifference.
Helen Fisher
What our grandmothers told us about playing hard to get is true. The whole point of the game is to impress and capture. It's not about honesty. Many men and women, when they're playing the courtship game, deceive so they can win. Novelty, excitement and danger drive up dopamine in the brain. And both sexes brag.
Helen Fisher
It certainly would have been adaptive for ancestral man to have a chubby wife during stressful times of famine. Not only would she have had more calories to burn, and thus more energy and endurance, but since fat stores estrogen, she would have remained fertile for longer.
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.
