People compose poetry, novels, sitcoms - for love.
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
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
Image
If we remained perpetually infatuated, we couldn't eat, sleep or work.
