Image
Men and women are like two feet they can help each other get ahead.
Helen Fisher
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Nobody gets out of love alive. You turn into a menace or a pest when you've been rejected.
Helen Fisher
Image
There is more and more data indicating that there is a biological basis to your political views.
Helen Fisher
Image
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.

Image
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.

Image
Along with our many human propensities, we evolved a huge cerebral cortex with which we make decisions.
Helen Fisher
Image
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
Image
Neither gender is routinely more jealous - although women are more willing to work to win back a lover, while men tend to flaunt their money and status and are more likely to walk out to protect their self-esteem or save face.
Helen Fisher
Image
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
Image
At first I assumed hate was the opposite of love. But it isn't. The opposite of love is indifference.
Helen Fisher
Image
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
Image
We're not very dangerous animals we don't have a horn like a rhino or quills like a porcupine.
Helen Fisher
Image
Barriers tend to intensify romance. It's called the 'Romeo and Juliet effect.' I call it 'frustration attraction.'
Helen Fisher
Image
I can't conceive of caring more about my president than my own partner.
Helen Fisher
Image
Romantic love is not an emotion. ... It's a drive. It comes from the motor of the mind, the wanting part of the mind, the craving part of the mind.
Helen Fisher
Image
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
Image
Men want to think women don't cheat, and women want men to think they don't cheat, and therefore the sexes have been playing a little psychological game with each other.
