Love in a scientist's POV

I got this from my e-groups. Dahil busy ako, eto na yung love post ko for the year. Haha. Enjoy!

1. PASSION or LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT is triggered by an insanely high amount of DOPAMINE which is in turn induced by an attraction to someone extraordinary to our taste.
2. Passion
FADES because our brain can not sustain the intense nerve activity triggered by DOPAMINE. Nerve cells are desensitized and LONG TERM DEPRESSION occurs.
3. For those who manage to overcome dopamine,
OXYTOCIN takes place. Its relaxing effects are a reason why in most couples celebrating their golden anniversaries...oxytocin levels are high.
4. The secret to maintaining oxytocin levels is having
CONSTANT SEX.
5. People madly in love are deficient in SEROTONIN. Thus, taking ANTI-DEPRESSANTS which balance serotonin levels makes you FALL OUT OF LOVE.
6. We love only to fine someone
IDEAL to produce ideal offspring that will survive with the highest probability.
7.
LOVE is but a mere balance of these three hormones.
8. The "
MAGIC" we experience in love is induced by our inner chemicals and they do a great job in making us high!
9. So it really is true that when people are in love...they have "
GOOD CHEMISTRY"
10. We are puppets of our own hormones...when all the while we were too busy thinking that we have to believe in magic..
P.S.
DOPAMINE is so potent that high amounts of it will trigger our minds and bodies to do things we are not usually capable of doing...(maybe the main culprit as to why we'd do anything for the ones we truly love)
