ANTH 316 Chapter Notes - Chapter 1-4: Physical Attractiveness, Facial Symmetry, Platonic Love
Document Summary
Infatuation follows a pattern that starts with intrusive thinking" a fixation on the object/person of infatuation, increasing in frequency , actual physical reaction. I really doubt the females cycles syncing up thing, there is necessary crossover in close quarters due to the relative shortness of a 28-day-ish cycle. Natural body odors vs. artificial ones, a big thing in the western world. Love map, which determines what we find attractive, is developed at a young age in response to the environment around you, solidifies over time to be complete in adolescence. This is why when you"ve known someone since childhood a lot of the time being attracted to them is weird. But with this like tends to marry like. Love at first sight", attraction at first sight found all across the world in different cultures, but each culture has different responses to it. May also see all of this in other primates.
