We know that many people in life have a "love at first sight" experience. According to the survey statistics of American researchers, the divorce rate in the United States is as high as more than 50%, but the divorce rate of two people who fall in love at first sight is only 20%. It can be said that "love at first sight" is a special ability to find the best partner. Scientists have found that love at first sight has a scientific basis.
Many people may fall in love many times in their lives, including others who introduce you to an object, according to secular standards, he or she may be a good object, but you are not satisfied. You feel that the other person is always unhappy with this or that. Maybe you can't put it in words, but you just can't empathize.
But one day, by chance, on the street, at a party of friends or classmates, in a work interaction, you suddenly find that the opposite sex in front of you is the object of your pursuit. Maybe he or she's not very good looking, but you just like him or her and fall in love at first sight.
In fact, it's because there's a sexual resonance between you. This resonance does not require a sexual experience. It's just a feeling of being in the dark, it's quite intense, so it creates a positive pursuit. At this time, there was no traditional custom of male superiority over female inferiority. For fear of the other person suddenly disappearing out of your sight, you will never find it again. Therefore, both parties will actively communicate for various reasons. This sexual resonance is actually a signal that can only be communicated by receiving the other person. Therefore, love at first sight is the feeling that arises when you see the opposite sex you love.
A study by psychologists at the University of Glasgow and Princeton university in the United States showed that it only takes 500 milliseconds (0.5 seconds) to establish a good first impression, and a simple greeting is enough to determine each other's personality traits.
Researchers at the University of Carlton in Canada conducted an experiment in which volunteers were asked to quickly navigate through a variety of pre-selected web pages based on their visual impressions. The study found that people often only need to "scan" web pages to get likes and dislikes, which takes about 500 milliseconds. In addition, the volunteers' final conclusions were largely consistent with the researchers' visual evaluation after careful examination. Studies have shown that "love at first sight" takes faster than people think.
A new study in Ireland has found that all judgments are made within seconds of seeing a new face. The study is the first to examine the speed at which the brain makes romantic judgments in real dating and tells us that quick decisions don't seem as accurate.
At Trinity College Dublin, psychologist Cooper recruited 78 women and 73 men for speed dating, all of whom were single students (with normal sexual orientation) at Trinity College. Before the event, however, they showed 39 of them photos of those who were about to attend the event and underwent MRI scans.
Afterwards, the volunteers were asked to arrange the photos on a scale of 1 to 4, depending on how much they liked them. At the same time, the volunteers described the cuteness of the people in the pictures. At the end of the appointment, volunteers fill in the form with the name of the person they want to see again. After comparing the results of the two options, the researchers found that the volunteers were indeed very good at quickly judging who was interested in them. Even if they are only based on photos, the predictions and actual results are in line with 63%. Scientists have found that in the first few seconds of looking at a photo, the brain seems to be able to calculate how attractive others are to themselves.
Psychologists say the human brain can quickly draw conclusions without any visual cues. Scientists believe that this ability may have been formed in the long-term evolution of humans, and people must decide in a very short time who is trustworthy, because it is related to the survival of the human species.
Why do men and women fall in love at first sight? Scientific studies have shown that this is all determined by your medial prefrontal cortex, which plays an important role in making romantic decisions. This area, located in the front of the brain, can be hastily judged whether this person is your ideal husband or wife.
In addition, from a genetic point of view, love at first sight also exists. Through careful investigation and research, scientists have found that humans are complementary to their genes through smell, taste, vision, touch and hearing. In other words, people can find the person who best matches their genes. Therefore, when he feels his voice or behavior, no matter what kind of person he is, he cannot make her feel happy. This ability is formed in the process of biological evolution and is an instinct.
Insects and other lower creatures have "acts of love" the moment they encounter the opposite sex. If you don't act right away, you won't have a chance later. They don't have cell phones, social software, and other communication tools like we humans do, and it's impossible for them to exchange phone numbers or email addresses for future contact. We humans "fall in love at first sight" with the opposite sex through the "adaptive unconscious", which may be a manifestation of animal instinct.
A study of fruit flies published in the journal Genetics by American and Australian scientists showed that some males and females are genetically more likely to match and match, which plays an important role in mate selection, mating results and future reproduction. This conclusion also applies to mammals, including humans.
In experiments with fruit flies, scientists found that female fruit flies undergo some kind of genetic "screening" before mating, and they seem to be able to identify which males are more genetically matched than other males, thus selecting these specific males for mating. The researchers also compared RNA (ribonucleic acid) from female drosophila. The final conclusion is that the female flies have listed genetic factors as "mate selection conditions" before mating, and to a certain extent, encountering the male flies can determine whether the male flies are "good mates".
