More quotes by Helen Fisher
There's biology in everything, even when you're feeling spiritual.
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
High heels can literally raise your status because you're taller when you wear them.
Helen Fisher
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
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
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.
Helen Fisher
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.
Helen Fisher
Natural beauty really entices men. They will tell you this time and time again, and studies consistently prove it.
Helen Fisher
From my studies of genetics and neuroscience I have come to believe that people fall into four broad personality types - each influenced by a different brain chemical: I call them the Explorer, Builder, Director, and Negotiator.
Helen Fisher
Experiences shape the brain, but the brain shapes the way we view experiences, too.
Helen Fisher
Barriers tend to intensify romance. It's called the 'Romeo and Juliet effect.' I call it 'frustration attraction.'
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.
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
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
Scientists know that women gravitate to men who have a different immune system from theirs.
Helen Fisher
My hypothesis is that conservative Republicans have very clear values, and when you have that, you're simply more relaxed.
Helen Fisher
Any kind of novelty or excitement drives up dopamine in the brain, and dopamine is associated with romantic love.
Helen Fisher
Along with our many human propensities, we evolved a huge cerebral cortex with which we make decisions.
Helen Fisher
What our grandmothers told us about playing hard to get is true. The whole point of the game is to impress and capture. It's not about honesty. Many men and women, when they're playing the courtship game, deceive so they can win. Novelty, excitement and danger drive up dopamine in the brain. And both sexes brag.
