More quotes by Helen Fisher
There is more and more data indicating that there is a biological basis to your political views.
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
Throughout evolution, ostracism was death indeed.
Helen Fisher
Jealousy can even be good for love. One partner may feel secretly flattered when the other is mildly jealous. And catching someone flirting with your beloved can spark the kind of lust and romance that reignites a relationship.
Helen Fisher
As women in industrial societies join the paid workforce, they gain the economic means to depart unhappy marriages more easily.
Helen Fisher
In courtship, who wins and who loses will determine who passes on their DNA to tomorrow.
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
We still have community, but we don't seem to have local community. Even in a small town where you know your neighbors and your mother's down the street, they're not in arm's length.
Helen Fisher
There are cognitive processes and limbic reactions associated with basic emotions. And you can change brain chemistry, but you're still not going to change memories and experiences in a human being.
Helen Fisher
Men and women are like two feet they can help each other get ahead.
Helen Fisher
We all have restlessness in long-term relationships.
Helen Fisher
I've always maintained that men were more romantic than women.
Helen Fisher
My hypothesis is that conservative Republicans have very clear values, and when you have that, you're simply more relaxed.
Helen Fisher
Blushing is thought to be linked to increased levels of norepinephrine in the brain, which may be associated with romantic feelings. It signals that we are interested and excited, which is attractive to men.
Helen Fisher
Despite the myth that men are less committed, they are predisposed to desire marriage.
Helen Fisher
Men tend to be hierarchical, but women are driven to make lateral connections so they can cooperate.
Helen Fisher
There's biology in everything, even when you're feeling spiritual.
Helen Fisher
Until recently, we regarded love as supernatural. We were willing to study the brain chemistry of fear and depression and anger but not love.
Helen Fisher
We spend our lives trying to get along with people so we can keep our jobs, keep our marriages together, so that we can raise our kids properly.
Helen Fisher
People live for love. They kill for love. They die for love. They have songs, poems, novels, sculptures, paintings, myths, legends. It's one of the most powerful brain systems on Earth for both great joy and great sorrow.
