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!

More quotes by 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
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
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
People have been looking for love potions since hunter-gatherer societies.
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
Men are so visual, they see a woman who appeals to them physically, and it will trigger the romantic love system faster.
Helen Fisher
Young women today do not marry the men they met in high school, or even the one they go out with at college, because they do not need to.
Helen Fisher
You fall in love with somebody who fits within what I call your 'love map,' an unconscious list of traits that you build in childhood as you grow up. And I also think that you gravitate to certain people, actually, with somewhat complementary brain systems.
Helen Fisher
There's biology in everything, even when you're feeling spiritual.
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
Experiences shape the brain, but the brain shapes the way we view experiences, too.
Helen Fisher
As social animals, we need to exchange juicy tales about someone - to connect with one another. For millions of years our forebears must have sat around the campfire, whispering about everyone they knew.
Helen Fisher
Globalization requires taking a broad contextual and long-term view.
Helen Fisher
At first I assumed hate was the opposite of love. But it isn't. The opposite of love is indifference.
Helen Fisher
We all have restlessness in long-term relationships.
Helen Fisher
Mothers really were not built to raise babies not only by themselves, but with only a partner. For millions of years, a woman had much more than just her husband to help rear her young... This whole idea of 'it takes a village to raise a child' is exactly how we're supposed to live.
Helen Fisher
When you massage someone, the levels of oxytocin go up in the brain, and oxytocin is one of the chemicals that drives attachment.
Helen Fisher
When you look at the brain regions associated with picking up data from the body, a huge amount of the brain is devoted to picking up information from the lips and tongue.
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
If two very different people pool their DNA, they'll create more genetic variety, and their young will come to the job of parenting with a wider array of skills.
