Men fall in love quicker..., hm Options

[Melissa]

We just learned in my psych class that men fall in love quicker than women, and women fall out of love quicker than men.

This surprised me.

Do you notice this ever?

There's a pretty big discrepancy as to what love really is. People can go on for ages about what they think love is. What you're talking about is something that poets have been going on and on about over and over through the years.

According to my psych professor however, psychologists try to distinguish among the different types of love. There's the intimacy, vs. passion, vs. commitment road, then there's the romantic/passionate love vs. companionate love. The love that this study is talking about is described as "a wildly emotional state [in which] tender and sexual feelings, elation and pain, anxiety and relief, altruism and jealousy coexist in a confusion of feelings." Apparently, men are more susceptible to this type of love than women.

//edit - lol, i'm glad you're not telling me to STFU, bc in that case, I would've had to have been like GTFO my faccee

=\ I go by God's description of Love... and anything that closely resembles love would be lust... never heard of multiple types of love, tell your psychologist to drop the lesson of love, he's only helpin love seem more complicated than what it really is.
