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
Natural beauty really entices men. They will tell you this time and time again, and studies consistently prove it.
