-It can take us by surprise. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:11 | |
-Most of us hope to find it. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
-It can make us happy and sad... | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
-..crazy and content. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:29 | |
-And we hope it lasts for ever. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:34 | |
-Love affects the way we think -and the way we behave. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:40 | |
-What is love -and what does it do to the body? | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
-Why does it exist -in the first place? | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
-In this Corff Cymru special, -we cast a scientific eye over love. | 0:00:56 | 0:01:01 | |
-I'm Dr Anwen Jones, -a Physiology And Health lecturer... | 0:01:01 | 0:01:05 | |
-..at Cardiff -Metropolitan University. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
-I'm Dr Katie Hemer, a Bioarchaeology -lecturer at Sheffield University. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:14 | |
-We'll look at scientific research -into the physiology of love... | 0:01:14 | 0:01:19 | |
-..and we'll meet leading experts to -discover how this unique feeling... | 0:01:19 | 0:01:24 | |
-..has such a huge impact -on our bodies and on our lives. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:29 | |
-We'll ask what happens -when we fall in love... | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
-..what influences -our search for love... | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
-..and how uniquely human -love actually is. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:41 | |
-Falling in love changes us. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
-It affects the way we think -and the way we behave. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
-Something happens in the brain -when we fall in love... | 0:02:01 | 0:02:05 | |
-..to trigger these huge changes. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
-What effect does falling in love -have on the brain? | 0:02:11 | 0:02:15 | |
-Does love's magic last for ever -or is it just temporary? | 0:02:18 | 0:02:22 | |
-Does love's impact on the brain -change over time? | 0:02:22 | 0:02:26 | |
-To look at the effect -love has on the brain... | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
-..I'm meeting Ceri Ellis at Bangor -University's Psychology Department. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:40 | |
-Couples who've been together for at -least four years were recruited... | 0:02:41 | 0:02:46 | |
-..to participate -in a special research project. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:50 | |
-The couples are asked -to write a list of Love Words... | 0:02:50 | 0:02:54 | |
-..which have meaning for them -as a couple. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:58 | |
-The couples are separated -and enter two different rooms. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:02 | |
-They wear EEG caps -which monitor brain activity. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
-Love Words are mixed with standard -negative and positive words... | 0:03:06 | 0:03:11 | |
-..and they're displayed -on the screen, one at a time. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:15 | |
-The person presses the space bar -every time they see a negative word. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:21 | |
-They also read the positive words -and the love words. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:25 | |
-Scientists can measure the brain's -reaction to specific words... | 0:03:26 | 0:03:30 | |
-..and compare the brain's reaction -to the different groups of words. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:36 | |
-The individuals within each couple -are stimulated by love words. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:41 | |
-They trigger a stronger reaction -than the positive words. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:46 | |
-I can see a peak here. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:48 | |
-Yes, and this shows an extremely -quick process in the brain. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:53 | |
-The reaction peaks -at 600 milliseconds... | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
-..after they see the word. | 0:03:57 | 0:03:59 | |
-We don't even notice this response? | 0:04:01 | 0:04:03 | |
-No, we don't. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:05 | |
-Both people -are unaware of their reaction. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
-It stems from -their shared experiences. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
-This demonstrates... | 0:04:13 | 0:04:15 | |
-..that these love words -trigger a strong emotional reaction. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:20 | |
-The EEG cap also offers clues about -which part of the brain reacts. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:28 | |
-This picture tells us which part -of the brain reacts to love words. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:33 | |
-This red area... | 0:04:33 | 0:04:35 | |
-..is the part of the brain -which reacts to love words. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:39 | |
-We can see which parts of the brain -are most active. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:44 | |
-Are these the language and words -areas of the brain? | 0:04:45 | 0:04:48 | |
-Yes, and when you see -language-related research... | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
-..this is the area of the brain -which is usually activated. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:57 | |
-There's also evidence to suggest -this area also deals with emotion. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:03 | |
-What effect does being in love -have on the brain? | 0:05:03 | 0:05:07 | |
-The research shows us that -the processes of being in love... | 0:05:07 | 0:05:11 | |
-..and shared experiences can change -the way we deal with the world... | 0:05:12 | 0:05:17 | |
-..through forging strong emotional -links with what we do every day. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:23 | |
-This research shows that love -has a direct impact on the brain. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:28 | |
-It even shows that areas which deal -with language, memory and emotion... | 0:05:28 | 0:05:34 | |
-..play a part in this. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:36 | |
-Which areas of the brain -are shaped by love... | 0:05:36 | 0:05:39 | |
-..and are those changes permanent? | 0:05:40 | 0:05:43 | |
-Further research, using techniques -like MRI, is needed to answer that. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:50 | |
-When you fall in love, chemicals -rush around your brain and body. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:55 | |
-What chemicals are important? | 0:05:55 | 0:05:57 | |
-When you're with your partner, -especially in the early days... | 0:05:58 | 0:06:02 | |
-..your heart races, -you blush and your hands sweat. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:06 | |
-You can blame the chemical -noradrenaline for that! | 0:06:06 | 0:06:10 | |
-Dopamine is the chemical in charge -of our pleasure-reward system. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:15 | |
-Dopamine makes us feel happy and -is released when we see our partner. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:20 | |
-When we spend time -with our partner... | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
-..the brain -releases the hormone oxytocin. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:27 | |
-The same hormone is released between -mother and baby to form a bond. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:32 | |
-Oxytocin -and vasopressin, another hormone... | 0:06:32 | 0:06:36 | |
-..are vital -to forming lasting bonds. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:39 | |
-Endorphins also play a part -in long-term bonding. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:42 | |
-Endorphins, the body's natural -painkilling chemicals... | 0:06:43 | 0:06:47 | |
-..are released -when we see our partner. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:50 | |
-They make us feel happy and safe. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:52 | |
-Several chemicals in the body -come into play when we fall in love. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:57 | |
-They work together over time as the -bond between partners gets stronger. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:03 | |
-Thank you. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:17 | |
-Apparently, some foods and drinks -can stimulate romance. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:22 | |
-They're called aphrodisiacs. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:25 | |
-It's believed consuming aphrodisiacs -affects the body in such a way... | 0:07:28 | 0:07:34 | |
-..that they stimulate feelings -of love or romance. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:38 | |
-Is there science behind aphrodisiacs -or are they old wives' tales? | 0:07:45 | 0:07:50 | |
-Historically, aphrodisiacs appear -in many cultures across the world. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:58 | |
-The shape can influence the -labelling of food as an aphrodisiac. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:03 | |
-But it's thought other aphrodisiacs -have properties which boost libido. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:09 | |
-To discover more about aphrodisiacs, -I'm in Canna Deli, Cardiff... | 0:08:10 | 0:08:15 | |
-..to meet Elin Williams, -who has some special food for me. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:19 | |
-Oysters are well-known aphrodisiacs. -What's so special about them? | 0:08:20 | 0:08:25 | |
-Oysters are rich in zinc... | 0:08:25 | 0:08:27 | |
-..which helps the body produce -testosterone and oestrogen. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:33 | |
-Watermelon is packed with vitamins -which are vital to the body. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:37 | |
-Vegetables like asparagus -are packed with vitamin E. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:42 | |
-Bananas are rich in potassium. | 0:08:43 | 0:08:45 | |
-Hormones like testosterone and -oestrogen play a big part in love. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:51 | |
-Foods rich in vitamins and chemicals -which boost these hormones... | 0:08:51 | 0:08:56 | |
-..are likely to affect the body. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:59 | |
-Foods which boost circulation are -also considered to be aphrodisiacs. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:05 | |
-Chilli quickens the heart rate -and ginger boosts our circulation. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:10 | |
-These things are linked to what -happens to us when we fall in love. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:17 | |
-There's a lot of basil -in these dishes. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:20 | |
-On the pizza, in the salad -and in the pesto. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:26 | |
-In the olden days, -women rubbed basil on their chest... | 0:09:26 | 0:09:30 | |
-..because they believed -men were attracted to its aroma. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:35 | |
-I can see chocolate over there. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:39 | |
-Chocolate contains serotonin, -a chemical which affects the brain. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:44 | |
-It makes you feel happy and relaxed. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:47 | |
-Chocolate also contains -phenylethylamine... | 0:09:47 | 0:09:51 | |
-..a chemical compound produced -by the brain to make us feel alive. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:56 | |
-Eating chocolate -may well make us feel happy. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:59 | |
-Elin, do you believe there's -such a thing as aphrodisiac food... | 0:10:01 | 0:10:06 | |
-..or is it an old wives' tale? | 0:10:06 | 0:10:08 | |
-The food you see here is nutritious -and generally good for the body... | 0:10:08 | 0:10:13 | |
-..and I think the chemicals in some -of them affect people's behaviour. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:19 | |
-It depends on that person's mood -and who they're with. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:24 | |
-Scientific evidence doesn't support -the theory that aphrodisiacs exist. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:31 | |
-These foods' effect on our mood -may be all in the head. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:35 | |
-Why then do so many cultures -believe in their existence? | 0:10:35 | 0:10:39 | |
-They include chemicals... | 0:10:39 | 0:10:41 | |
-..which can potentially -affect the brain and body... | 0:10:41 | 0:10:45 | |
-..but do these foods contain enough -of them to affect the body directly? | 0:10:45 | 0:10:50 | |
-Aphrodisiac foods -are full of nutrients... | 0:10:51 | 0:10:54 | |
-..so they may have had -a greater effect on people... | 0:10:54 | 0:10:57 | |
-..when malnutrition was common. | 0:10:57 | 0:11:00 | |
-Eating nutritious, -'aphrodisiac' foods... | 0:11:00 | 0:11:03 | |
-..may have done mind and body -a power of good and boosted libido. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:08 | |
-Next, we discuss nature -and make some tough choices... | 0:11:11 | 0:11:15 | |
-..as we delve deeper -into the science of love. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:19 | |

-Humans instinctively -search for a partner. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:40 | |
-When we've found the right person, -we tend to stay together... | 0:11:41 | 0:11:46 | |
-..possibly for life. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:48 | |
-It involves a huge investment -of time and energy. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:57 | |
-What do we gain from doing this? | 0:11:57 | 0:12:00 | |
-Do we see similar coupling -in nature? | 0:12:00 | 0:12:03 | |
-Are human beings the only ones -who fall in love? | 0:12:03 | 0:12:07 | |
-To find out more about love -in the world of nature... | 0:12:12 | 0:12:16 | |
-..I met the zoologist, Dr Gethin -Thomas from Swansea University. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:21 | |
-Do animals fall in love -or is it unique to humans? | 0:12:24 | 0:12:27 | |
-It's hard -to compare different species. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:31 | |
-What happens between humans -is a very deep emotion... | 0:12:32 | 0:12:36 | |
-..so it's difficult -to find comparisons. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:39 | |
-Several species mate for life and -have strong feelings for each other. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:44 | |
-We can measure oxytocin, a hormone -released between long-term mates. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:50 | |
-This hormone is vital -to the bonding process. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:54 | |
-We can measure its levels -in their blood... | 0:12:54 | 0:12:57 | |
-..and state that they have -strong feelings for each other. | 0:12:58 | 0:13:02 | |
-How much of that is chemical -and how much is love? I don't know. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:06 | |
-What animals we've seen today -mate for a long time? | 0:13:11 | 0:13:15 | |
-Lorikeets. They live for years -and they mate for life. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:20 | |
-They mate with one male or female -and that remains true for 25 years. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:25 | |
-The species -with the longest lifespan... | 0:13:25 | 0:13:28 | |
-..and who rear their young -until they reach maturity... | 0:13:29 | 0:13:33 | |
-..are the species -who mate for the longest time. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:37 | |
-What are the advantages -of mating like this? | 0:13:38 | 0:13:42 | |
-Reproduction is a risky process. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:44 | |
-You never know how compatible -your partner's genes are. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:49 | |
-If they're too similar, -it's detrimental to the offspring. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:54 | |
-If they're too dissimilar, you can -be reproductively isolated... | 0:13:54 | 0:13:59 | |
-..like between a horse and a donkey. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:02 | |
-You want someone who's similar -but genetically dissimilar enough... | 0:14:02 | 0:14:07 | |
-..to give the offspring -the best chance of survival. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:11 | |
-The best way to do this -is to form long-term pairs... | 0:14:12 | 0:14:15 | |
-..which can provide -shelter and food. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:20 | |
-Animals form a strong bond... | 0:14:20 | 0:14:23 | |
-..increase their -offspring's survival chances. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:26 | |
-Yes, and if it works -and the offspring survive... | 0:14:26 | 0:14:30 | |
-..they stay within the population -and evolve and adapt to it. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:35 | |
-Love usually blossoms -from an initial attraction. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:50 | |
-Each, for reasons which are hard to -measure, is attracted to the other. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:57 | |
-What makes someone attractive? | 0:14:59 | 0:15:01 | |
-Is there such a thing as someone -who's attractive to everyone? | 0:15:02 | 0:15:06 | |
-To look closely at attraction and -how much control we have over it... | 0:15:11 | 0:15:16 | |
-..we held an experiment -with a group of Cardiff students. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:21 | |
-We asked them to place photos -of female faces in order... | 0:15:21 | 0:15:25 | |
-..with the most attractive -on the left... | 0:15:25 | 0:15:28 | |
-..and the least attractive -on the right. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:32 | |
-We only gave them ten seconds -to put the faces in order. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:41 | |
-There's no correct -or incorrect order. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:47 | |
-We're only interested -in the students' choice. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:51 | |
-She's attractive. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:54 | |
-Like a computer, the brain works out -who's attractive and who's not. | 0:15:54 | 0:15:59 | |
-It seems to be beyond our control. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:03 | |
-Glasses. Oh, sorry! | 0:16:03 | 0:16:06 | |
-When we see another face, the brain -reacts in a tenth of a second. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:12 | |
-So quickly that the part of the -brain which deals with logic... | 0:16:13 | 0:16:17 | |
-..has no time -to influence the decision. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:21 | |
-I don't like the red hair. -I like the more natural look. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:26 | |
-She's really attractive. -Blonde hair and blue eyes. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:31 | |
-These two look like models. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:34 | |
-I like blondes. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:36 | |
-They repeated the exercise -with male faces. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:40 | |
-Again, a pattern emerges... | 0:16:42 | 0:16:44 | |
-..and some faces -are preferred to others. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:47 | |
-Interestingly, the men and women -chose similar orders... | 0:16:48 | 0:16:52 | |
-..and they did it in quick time. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:55 | |
-This suggests our brain responds to -a general idea of attractiveness... | 0:16:55 | 0:17:01 | |
-..a short space of time -after seeing another face. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:04 | |
-We have no control -over this reaction. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:07 | |
-Most of us tend to favour -symmetrical faces. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:12 | |
-The brain calculates the distance -between the facial features. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:17 | |
-The eyes, the nose and the mouth. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:19 | |
-In the ideal symmetrical face, -the distance from nose to chin... | 0:17:19 | 0:17:24 | |
-..is 1.5 times -the distance between the ears. | 0:17:24 | 0:17:28 | |
-We tend to seek -a symmetrical body too. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:32 | |
-We compare a man's shoulder width -with his waist size... | 0:17:32 | 0:17:36 | |
-..and the width of a woman's hips -with her waist - her curves. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:40 | |
-This symmetry is a sign that -a person has grown and developed... | 0:17:41 | 0:17:45 | |
-..that they're healthy -and have good genes. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:48 | |
-These features -would have been vital in the past... | 0:17:49 | 0:17:53 | |
-..when raising healthy children -was crucial to human survival. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:58 | |
-This instinctive reaction... | 0:17:58 | 0:18:00 | |
-..still influences -what we find attractive today. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:04 | |
-Love at first sight -can last a lifetime. | 0:18:05 | 0:18:08 | |
-What happens when we fall in love? | 0:18:08 | 0:18:10 | |
-Scientists have separated love -into three stages. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:14 | |
-To find love in the first place, -we must leave the house. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:18 | |
-The hormones -testosterone and oestrogen... | 0:18:18 | 0:18:22 | |
-..fuel this drive to find a partner. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:25 | |
-Once we find someone we like, -we're infatuated with them. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:29 | |
-During this stage, -we tend to lose ourselves. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:33 | |
-We struggle to eat or sleep, -we shun our family and friends... | 0:18:33 | 0:18:37 | |
-..and want to spend all our time -with the new person in our life. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:42 | |
-All our focus, thoughts, time -and energy is on our new partner. | 0:18:42 | 0:18:46 | |
-It can't last because -we can't get much done in stage two! | 0:18:47 | 0:18:51 | |
-After a year or two of infatuation -comes stage three - attachment. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:55 | |
-After the excitement -of finding a partner... | 0:18:56 | 0:18:59 | |
-..we decide to commit to that person -and things settle down. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:03 | |
-Chemical changes -help us form long-term bonds... | 0:19:04 | 0:19:07 | |
-..which prepare us -for child-rearing. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:10 | |
-This may be true love. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:12 | |
-The body sends us out -to look for love... | 0:19:18 | 0:19:20 | |
-..but the way we do this -is changing. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:24 | |
-More and more of us are now -finding love on the internet. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:28 | |
-According to one study... | 0:19:29 | 0:19:30 | |
-..one in five new relationships -starts on the internet. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:35 | |
-That's likely to increase -over the coming years. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:39 | |
-What are the advantages -of finding love in this way? | 0:19:39 | 0:19:43 | |
-Catrin and Aron met on the website -Pishyn.com over ten years ago. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:47 | |
-They're now married with children. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:52 | |
-I met them in Caernarfon, -where they had their first date. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:56 | |
-How did people react when you -first told them you'd met online? | 0:19:57 | 0:20:02 | |
-The reaction was pretty positive. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:07 | |
-When you want to buy a car, -you go online and do some research. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:12 | |
-You make a list -of the features you want... | 0:20:12 | 0:20:15 | |
-..and you take the car -for a test drive. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:18 | |
-Why not do that -with more important things? | 0:20:18 | 0:20:21 | |
-In years gone by, -people corresponded by letter. | 0:20:23 | 0:20:26 | |
-It was romantic. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:28 | |
-By writing and reading, -you learn a lot more about someone. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:32 | |
-In a way, exchanging a number -of emails with someone... | 0:20:32 | 0:20:36 | |
-..is quite old-fashioned. | 0:20:37 | 0:20:39 | |
-Certainly, the process of learning -about someone's character... | 0:20:39 | 0:20:44 | |
-..is far more intense than when you -meet someone in a pub or a club. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:48 | |
-Following that initial contact, -why did you meet face-to-face? | 0:20:49 | 0:20:54 | |
-There was something there. -We clicked. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:58 | |
-Just like when you meet someone -in the flesh. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:01 | |
-She ticked all the boxes. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:04 | |
-I knew what I wanted and I -didn't want in a potential partner. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:08 | |
-The two of you were attracted -to each other's personality... | 0:21:10 | 0:21:14 | |
-..rather than a physical attraction. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:17 | |
-Definitely. There were no photos, -so I didn't know how Aran looked. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:23 | |
-When we met -in the doorway of this pub... | 0:21:23 | 0:21:26 | |
-..it was quite fresh. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:28 | |
-That mental attraction -gave us a foundation... | 0:21:29 | 0:21:33 | |
-..then you either get that spark -that goes with that or you don't. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:37 | |
-That spark was there, wasn't it? | 0:21:38 | 0:21:40 | |
-After that first date... | 0:21:40 | 0:21:43 | |
-..would you have believed -you'd be married for over ten years? | 0:21:43 | 0:21:48 | |
-When I left this pub, I texted -my brother to come and pick me up. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:52 | |
-When I got into the car, -I told my brother and his wife... | 0:21:53 | 0:21:56 | |
-..that I'd just met -the man I was going to marry. | 0:21:57 | 0:22:00 | |
-Do you think more people in future -will meet by using technology? | 0:22:01 | 0:22:06 | |
-I think so. It's becoming more -normal and more socially acceptable. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:12 | |
-In the future, we won't ask -whether or not a couple met online. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:16 | |
-People will stop seeing a difference -between the two. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:20 | |
-It prepares the ground because -you know there's a connection there. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:25 | |
-The brain plays an important part -in physical attraction. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:30 | |
-When you meet -and there's a spark there too... | 0:22:30 | 0:22:35 | |
-..you know things seem promising. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:39 | |
-We're mesmerized by love. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:44 | |
-It's more than a feeling - it's an -instinctive biological force... | 0:22:45 | 0:22:49 | |
-..which has an impact on our -behaviour, our mood, our mindset... | 0:22:49 | 0:22:54 | |
-..and even our decisions. | 0:22:55 | 0:22:56 | |
-Love begins with -an instinctive attraction... | 0:22:57 | 0:23:00 | |
-..and it develops in stages, led by -chemical changes in the body... | 0:23:00 | 0:23:05 | |
-..as we form and build a bond which -will change the way our brain works. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:12 | |
-Love makes it possible -for us to mate for a long time... | 0:23:13 | 0:23:17 | |
-..have children -and keep our species thriving. | 0:23:17 | 0:23:20 | |
-Love may be a chemical reaction... | 0:23:20 | 0:23:23 | |
-..but the pleasure, infatuation -and contentment of being in love... | 0:23:23 | 0:23:28 | |
-..is something personal -for all of us. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:31 | |
-It's hard to imagine -a world without love. | 0:23:31 | 0:23:34 | |
