This post explores the biology of falling in love as researched by Dr. Helen Fisher. As an anthropologist, she has made a career researching human behavior and the biology of love and attraction. After recently watching her TED presentation from 2008 (Helen Fisher: The brain in love | TED Talk), I thought the subject matter fit with the topic of prior posts from this blog: Optimal Stopping strategy, (suggests using the 37% rule) and Optimal Stopping Strategy in Dating - Part 2 (my son's personal experience).
The part of Dr. Fisher's talk that stood out compared to the optimization posts, was the recognition of the reality of instant attractiveness or love at first site. I suggest viewing the short You Tube video of this TED presentation.
Dr. Fisher has continued with her work by making a personality test to help people find best partners: Helen Fisher's Personality Test - The Anatomy Of Love.
