I just read 25 love facts on MSN (http://lifestyle.msn.com/relationships/articlematch.aspx?cp-documentid=10416019>1=32023) and thought some of the things they mentioned would be great to share. Especially with those of you I've had similar conversations with.
1. Men who kiss their wives in the morning live five years longer than those who don't.
4. Feminist women are more likely than other females to be in a romantic relationship.
5. Two-thirds of people report that they fall in love with someone they've known for some time vs. someone that they just met.
7. Falling in love can induce a calming effect on the body and mind and raises levels of nerve growth factor for about a year, which helps to restore the nervous system and improves the lover's memory.
8. Love can also exert the same stress on your body as deep fear. You see the same physiological responses — pupil dilation, sweaty palms, and increased heart rate.
9. Brain scans show that people who view photos of a beloved experience an activation of the caudate — the part of the brain involving cravings.
17. People who are newly in love produce decreased levels of the hormone serotonin — as low as levels seen in people with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Perhaps that's why it's so easy to feel obsessed when you're smitten.
18. Philadelphia International Airport finished as the No. 1 best airport for making a love connection, according to an online survey.
20. A man's beard grows fastest when he anticipates sex.
8,9,17- No wonder people are so afraid to fall in love if these are the things that happen. But the thing I kept thinking about after reading this list is that I NEED TO FLY TO PHILADELPHIA ;)
