Helen Fisher
Women like signs of money and education - things that indicate that not only is this guy going to have some resources, but he's also willing to share them.
Helen Fisher
I think romantic love evolved to enable you to focus your mating energy on just one individual at a time, thereby conserving mating time and energy.
Helen Fisher
Both sexes like the exercise and challenge of sports, but for men it's also a basic display behavior for impressing and winning a mate.
Helen Fisher
A hundred years ago, if you had a child out of marriage, you'd be a social disgrace. Today women feel comfortable enough economically and culturally to bring up a child without a recognized commitment from a man.
Helen Fisher
Experiences shape the brain, but the brain shapes the way we view experiences, too.
Helen Fisher
As societies continue to loosen their standards regarding what is appropriate female and male behavior, I think we are going to realize we have not only underestimated women, but also men.
Helen Fisher
You can really get poked in the back and not feel it very much, but just a feather around your lips and you really do feel it.
Helen Fisher
Keep an open heart. We are wired to find love.
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.
