Men and their hearts

Many people think men are less romantic than women. Yet men fall in love faster (because they are so visual); men tend to be more dependent on their girlfriends or wives for intimacy; men are over two times more likely to kill themselves when a relationship ends; and men show just as much activity in brain regions associated with romantic passion. — Helen Fisher, Ph.D., anthropology professor at Rutgers University

I really really have to agree with Helen on this one.

  1. This completely goes against many of the social norms we are taught. It also goes against what many people I work with and know believe.
    Yet, I completely agree with Dr. Fisher, too. I've been saying this for years, but very few people seem to have been listening.
