erm, another lame topic, oso from bbc, its titled Love, but im only taking parts of it. for more details, please visit
http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/hottopics/love/.
alrite, this is in conjuction with the previous topic of chocolates. firstly, why izzit when we are in primary school, a trend of ' guys see toys while girls see boys'(dun be so fast to object, it applies to most ppl, but not all) appear? at around the age of 10, boys usually see toys only, or sports, something that dey have interest in, but usually not girls, and even if there is, it might only be a very mild infatuation. this is because boys have yet to go thru puberty, and thus there is no testosterone to trigger the 'lust' in boys, whereas, as many of us know, girls go thru puberty at a much younger age, about 10-12 mebbe, and therefore oestrogen is released in them, triggering the 'lust'. in layman's term, the lust is also known as 'horny'.
at the second stage, it is usually when puberty has just completed, or reaching its end already. in this stage, 'love' may occur. some symptoms would be thinking of the opposite party constantly, daydreaming, losing appetite, letting the other party's emotion affect yours... in short, the 'honeymoon' period when ppl just stead. there are three main neuro-transmitters ( substance that triggers your certain parts of your nervous systems ) .
1. Dopamine- which is activated by cocaine( found in chocolates, no wonder ppl who are heavy on chocolates appear so dreamy.) and nicotine ( cigarettes, no comments.)
2. Norepinephrine - know as adrenalin, or in layman's term, boost in physical strength and stamina such that you dun feel tired. ( yup, definitely seen this before. finally found the explanation why ppl in love usually dun feel tired, applies to honeymoon period.)
3. Serotonin - can actually make people temporarily insane. that is why ppl do crazy things when dey are in love.( a.k.a. love is blind)
and the final stage, is attachment. and here we are saying about being wif the person long term. ( mrs tham said before, love is blind, marriage restores the sight.) that is why ppl will break up, because dey are not prepared to be committed. at the attachment stage, this determines whether a relationship will last or not. this happens usually when the honeymoon period is over.
two chemicals responsible here.
1. oxytocin- its sources are the hypothalamus gland and during orgasm. large oxytocin levels help to foster couple's intimacy, proving the theory that the more sex a couple has, the more intimate dey are.
2. Vasopressin- not much elaboration here.
lastly! for guys, if u wish to court a girl, here's a tip- look at how the girl's father looks like and smell like( i noe its sick, just a suggestion ), and try to imitate it( dun be stupid and copy the whole outlook, be flexible.) the second tip is bring them to places such as theme parks and haunted houses because often, girls mistake feelings of fear wif love!(cheepo)
