The End of "Why We Love" :Blog 18

Finally I am finished with “Why We Love” by Helen Fisher. As you may or may not know I have been updating my blog readers on my progress with “Why We Love” and I know you’re wondering Sydney… Why do we love? Well I am going to tell you what I have concluded from that “Why We Love” however this is merely just an opinion. I would personally suggest that each of my blog readers read “Why We Love” so that you can conclude you answer on why we love. What I concluded from author Helen Fisher’s research on why we love is to avoid being alone. Fisher once states in her book that at one time in our life, we will began to feel depressed and lonely, almost to the point that we are in a suicidal state of mind, and having a partner we can avoid feeling that way. When two people are in a healthy relationship you each complement each other. When two partners are together each partner looks to each other for self esteem and confidence to survive. Note, this is why it may hurt when your partner calls you some type of rude name. When two partners break up with each other, each partner will feel depressed, angry, and may reacted error rational. At the end of “Why We Love” Fisher talks about how the differences between men and women. There are many differences that Fisher brings up about men and women’s attraction and how they attract each other. Men usually pick women that can fit in their life style. Men pick women that can get along with heir friends, parents co-workers, and overall life style. One the other hand women pick men based on status, financial ability, and controlling tendencies, and outside appearance. After reading "Why We Love" I thought a lot about the movie "The Ugly Truth" which was supposed to be a movie about how men think more sexually and women more so look at a man's intelligence. However Fisher reveals that both men and women both think of intimacy just as much.
