The Science of Love
Guys – ever wondered about the science of love? Like why you fall in love with a certain woman, why you’re attracted to another woman and why you settle down with yet another one (or if you’re very lucky with one woman covers all three bases – love, sexual attraction and attachment).
One brave writer set out to discover the science of love – more specifically, the science of his love for his wife – and to find out if it’s as strong and real as he thought it was. He was put in an MRI scanner while thinking about and looking at photos of his wife and – tough competition – Angelina Jolie. The activity in certain areas of his brain supposedly tells him how strong his feelings of love, sexual attraction and romantic attachment really are.
Would you dare (literally) show your emotions like that ? And, more importantly, would you want to show them to the woman you love?
The Right Partner Is Good for Your Health
There are plenty of reasons for wanting to find the right partner. The right partner makes you happy, gives your life a centre and provides stability. The daily routines are given added meaning with the right partner in your life. Those are the usual reasons singles long for a relationship. Few singles are likely to think about their health when looking for the right partner for a relationship.
An article in Psychology Today Magazine has evaluated several studies and come to the conclusion that the right partner can be good for your health. Obviously, lifestyle is a major factor – eating habits, legal and illegal drugs have an effect on your partner, especially if you live together. If one partner eats badly, smokes or drinks too much, chances are the bad habits will rub off on whoever they’re in a relationship with. On the other hand, an active, sporty, healthy partner can positively influence your health. Read more

Love Letters with Style
How to Say “I Love You” in Great Taste
How do you say “I love you” in the coolest way possible? The safest bet is probably to do it the way cool people (i.e. people who live in Brooklyn) do. That’s where the Brooklyn Bride comes in handy, a website that shows you how to do romantic without losing your cool. We found these cool love letters there:
The thing about love letters is not only can they be incredibly hard to write, but there’s a fine line between a wonderfully romantic love letter and embarrassingly cheesy love-blind drivel. Avoid love letter cliche by putting your message to that special someone on stylish and tongue-in-cheek stationery from Old Tom Foolery (unsappy, uncrappy letterpress greetings).
Not only are the cards beautifully designed, each sentimental statement of love comes with a funny bit of fine print. For example, “I love you*”….”*Statement only valid if you say you love me back.”
There’s also a selection of Birthday, Anniversary and Wedding cards. (“Here’s to the bride and groom.*”…”*Thanks for all the free booze!”)
If you need more cool and romatic ideas, the Brooklyn Bride is a treasure trove of fun and interesting ideas for a really cool wedding and it’s full of inspiration for ways to say “I love you” (even if you’re not cool enough to BE a Brooklyn Bride…)
