More quotes by Helen Fisher

Helen Fisher
I can't conceive of caring more about my president than my own partner.
Helen Fisher
Of all the foods we share, there is nothing more primordial than meat. It's no surprise that meat-eaters still want a partner who will give, receive and share this primordial symbol of a budding partnership.

Today, most women are surrounded by ingenious gadgets. They don't grow the peas or raise the chicken that they serve for dinner instead they hunt and gather in the grocery store. They go through catalogs or department stores to buy clothes instead of shearing sheep, carding wool, and weaving cloth for skirts and coats and blankets.
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.
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
Despite the myth that men are less committed, they are predisposed to desire marriage.
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
My hypothesis is that conservative Republicans have very clear values, and when you have that, you're simply more relaxed.
Helen Fisher
The brain was not built to walk into a bar, where you know nobody, and start a conversation. That's not the way humanity has courted.
Helen Fisher
We're not very dangerous animals we don't have a horn like a rhino or quills like a porcupine.
Helen Fisher
Men are so visual, they see a woman who appeals to them physically, and it will trigger the romantic love system faster.
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.
