When We’re In Love What Happens In Our Brain And Body?

What happens in our brain and body when we’re in love? Love dominates our popular culture and is the subject of countless songs, movies, and works of literature and art. But what’s happening in our body when we feel love? Love is difficult to define, but can be described as an intense feeling of deep affection. At the most basic level, science sees love as a cocktail of chemicals released by the brain. From an evolutionary perspective, romantic love evolved from the primitive animal drive to find and keep preferred mates. Love keeps people bonded and committed to one another, to raise children through infancy. This ensures our species will continue to reproduce, survive and thrive. However, romantic love is not just about reproduction. Some argue we should consider love a motivation, like ...

One Community’s Story Of Meth Use And Domestic Violence – ‘When He’s Not On Drugs, He’s A Good Person’

One night, after five days of smoking meth, Misty* heard a voice. It just said ‘BOOM! Get up’ and I got up and was like, ‘where’s my son?’ and I run to the bathroom and my little girl’s standing at the sink and I could see the water running and coming down the hallway and he was already blue at the bottom of the tub. So I grabbed him up and was like, I mean, panic – I couldn’t do nothing but sing ‘Amazing Grace.’ It’s the only thing I knew to do. Misty’s son, one of her five children, survived – he was saved by a neighbour who worked for the ambulance service in their Alabama community. At first glance, Misty’s story is a cautionary tale against drug use, not unlike those portrayed in campaigns like the Faces of Meth and the Meth Project in the US. Media depictions of people who use meth...

Is It Such A Bad Thing That You Can’t Have A Hollywood Meet Cute On A Dating App

The “meet cute” is the moment in which two unlikely people encounter each other while going about their ordinary lives, and something extraordinary begins. In the romantic comedy The Holiday (2006), Arthur (Eli Wallach) describes it thus to Iris (Kate Winslet): It’s how two characters meet in a movie. Say a man and a woman both need something to sleep in, and they both go to the same men’s pyjama department. And the man says to the salesman, “I just need bottoms”. The woman says, “I just need a top”. They look at each other, and that’s the meet cute. The meet cute is a magical moment of happenstance. The people involved aren’t looking for love (at least, not right then). In 1991, Roger Ebert rather prosaically described the meet cute as: a comic situation contrived entirely for the...

Never Had A Girlfriend Before? Guess What You Are Not Alone

What if you have never had a girlfriend before? Common things I see when guys call the dating and relationship radio show that I co-host are: 1. A lot of guys in this boat are introverted and shy. To the point of extreme anxiety. You know that she wants a confident man but when just talking to her gives you a "flight or fight" reaction then it is tough to portray confidence. Women do not respond to fear, as you well know. 2. Negative thinking. When you have been down for so long, it is easy to fall into the "well, she is just going to reject me anyway" line of thinking. Guys who have never had a girlfriend before are more comfortable living in a negative world because it is safe for them. They do not have to risk anxiety and rejection and they can confirm the negative pattern that is impri...

An Expert On Polyamory Explains What A Polycule Is

After the collapse of the cryptocurrency exchange FTX, the media shined a spotlight on the personal lives of founder Sam Bankman-Fried and his inner circle. It turns out that Bankman-Fried, his on-and-off girlfriend, Caroline Ellison, who served as CEO of FTX subsidiary Alameda, and others involved in the company have dabbled in polyamory. Polyamorous relationships are a form consensual non-monogamy in which partners seek out multiple romantic or sexual relationships. The Guardian noted that many of the people in the crypto empire’s inner circle, who were sharing a luxury penthouse in the Bahamas, are thought to have been in a “polycule,” meaning a network of interconnected romantic relationships. According to Coindesk, “All 10 are, or used to be, paired up in romantic relationships with e...

The Dating App Trap

There's a certain dating website that shall remain nameless. In all its ads, it sells itself as a means of finding your soulmate. Ahh, true love... Except... Well, it's obviously a site for hooking up. How do I know? You can tell the intention behind something not in its marketing but how it's designed. In this case, the website let you filter matches by all sorts of things - gender, location, age, salary, education... All useful stuff for finding a partner. But also not only height but hair color and eye color. Only the most vapid, shallow and deluded folks say their soulmate has to have hazel eyes. For a night of cheap, harmless fun though? Well, that makes a bit more sense. This trap can show up in your affirmations too. When you say you want to find 'love' or 'wealth', wh...

How To Get Invited To The Most Exclusive Swingers Parties Ever

It is really easy and really hard at the same time to get your first invite to a Swinger's House Party. I know that sounds confusing, but read this to the end to find out what I mean. The easy part is that all you have to do is find and meet someone who is having a house part (or going to one) and then get them to invite you. Okay so that is not as easy to do as it was to write. See what I mean that it can sound a little confusing. Let's start with meeting someone first. It tends to be outgoing couples that get invited the most, as everyone likes someone who is outgoing rather than a wall flower. So when you are at a swing club, make sure you don't just sit in the corner as no one will see you. Instead why not go sit at the bar? It is so much easier to meet people when you are at the ...

Social Media Always Remembers – Which Makes Moving On From A Breakup That Much Harder

Before the internet, people commonly burned Polaroids and love letters in a fire as an act of closure following a breakup. Nowadays, it isn’t so simple. People produce and consume massive amounts of digital stuff – 33 trillion gigabytes of online data in 2018 alone, a number that has surely grown. Even as more and more of daily life is experienced and documented online, there’s no playbook for how to navigate breakups in the digital age. In the past, if bonfires weren’t your thing, you could simply throw out love letters, gifts and photographs, or put them in a box and store them in the attic – out of sight and out of mind. Now, as you scroll through your accounts, you might find yourself returning to your own memories – including reminders of your former partners, which live on long af...
