How often from the pages of novels and romantic films we can contemplate beautiful stories about love, in which we meet the same phrase: "This is love at first sight." What explains the appearance of this feeling, what arises between a man and a woman? And is there really love that is sung by many poets?
"Tell me, what is love?"
The answer to this burning question is desired not only by those who are looking for their soul mate, but also by a whole group of scientists. For example, scientists from the University of London through experiment have established a funny thing. Eight men and eight women were offered photographs of attractive strangers of the opposite sex. The results were shocking even for the scientists themselves: if in the image the person's eyes were looking directly at the beholder, then a special area of the brain began to work for the beholder. Well, if the eyes on the photograph were diverted to the side - the person looking at him, felt particularly disappointed. Whatever you say, and eye contact has a huge relationship to love at first sight.
Love with a first sigh, like a strong chemical reaction
This feeling always pushed and pushes people to commit the most insane acts. It more than once served as a stimulus for inspiration to create masterpieces by creative people. The appearance of feeling at first sight for more than a decade interested in humanity. All the turbulent love stories that began with a single glance, immediately lay down in the basis of novels and films. Only at the end of the 20th century scientists from the United States put forward their own theory of the vision of the chemistry of love, which was very skeptical by many Romantics. The essence of the theory is that love is chemistry, the usual reaction that flows in the human brain.
Scientists managed to scan the human brain with the help of the latest technologies, which helped to fix various chemical reactions. These reactions pass through a complex of signals (euphoria, derived from a sense of attraction to one's half, thoughts about the object of adoration, passion, the desire to be near this person, a sense of jealousy, etc.).
Of course, no one disputes that these evidences claim to be true, but those who firmly believe that love inspires, are inclined to adhere to their view, denying that the whole meaning of this feeling is based on the most complex chemical compounds. Say what you say, it's hard for an ordinary person to believe in such a primitive explanation of the concept of "love and its emergence" the first time.
Fall in love in 30 seconds
Based on the research of American psychologists, the love that arose during eye contact can appear in the first 30 seconds of the meeting. The lady initially begins to look for signs of a strong character in a man, evaluates his mental qualities, his sense of humor. Immediately behind this is an assessment of the physical qualities of men: in most cases, women focus on broad shoulders, elastic buttocks, strong hands. But for the stronger sex for the decisive factor in 52% take the female legs. After the evaluation occurs in this order: the chest, hips, eyes.
Love or love
Love from the sight of some people is a reaction to the outer shell, the physical attraction. But for the appearance of real feelings, time and spiritual intimacy are necessary. Therefore, seeing a man for the first time, having met his eye with an eye-in-glase and feeling sympathy for him, we can feel only a fleeting attraction. Just this attraction can grow into feelings, and can remain at this level. If there was no difference between external and internal beauty, then love from the first timid look would become a habitual matter. The impression received from a person in the first seconds is sometimes deceptive. Of course, sometimes it happens that the usual sympathy can be born into love. Often people confuse love with sympathy, love or passion. Feeling attraction to a person, they do not know how to distinguish between these feelings, they believe that this is it. Most often, amorous people are inclined to this, who do not take into account the usual flash of passion - hormones, pheromones, etc.
