This article explains how in order to have that feeling love at first sight there has to be eye
contact for 8.2 seconds. Men normally hold eye contact for that amount of time. While a less
attractive women get eye contact of 4.5 seconds or less. The decision as to whether a person is of
dating material is made within five minutes. A study at the University of Bonn is Germany has
found that physical activities like cuddling, messages, and so on bring out oxytocin production in
males. Men can become literally addicted to that oxytocin, so the man can actually start to
become addicted to you and being with you. Women are more likely to be attracted to men with
the most full-bearded face because they are perceived as better potential fathers.

The article is about why we fall so hard in love and what physical attraction has to do with love.
It also has information like that controls attraction and why looks count in a relationship. Love
isnt exactly blind but you cant pick who you fall in love with. In the article it also talks about
love and how it can be addicting.

me do is shape my project in many ways by the facts and information it provides. I will be
needing this source to help me in my article by using grabbing facts and non-bias information to

things about love to the broad area of information about love.
