Lust or Love - Dr. Helen Fisher, Chemistry.com

[PlayIt4MeAgainSam]

This description sounds very bias towards men of certain ethnicity.

The blonde in white is a fucking milf.

[leonardohankrearden]

how about non-traditional sexual orientations????

[DarkKnight00073]

Shut up!

[7antoosah]

Love is certainly subject to continuity and renewal more than lust. We can make love like we love for the first time. But lust is a Sneezes.

[cclarke1804]

I wish that bimbo would shut up and let Dr. Fisher speak!

[joshua50101]

@cclarke1804 me too!!!!!

Anthropologist Helen Fisher needs a better understanding of the mechanism of action of testosterone-she claims high testosterone results in tall stature when the exact opposite is true,high testosterone causes the epiphyseal plates to close early and results in short stature.Moreover, facial bone structure is not striclty dependent on testosterone but genes & heredity.Therefore if two males had testosterone levels of 400 ng/dl but one had a father with "masculine features" the genes would win.

Let's have 2 men sit around judging women about their estrogen-features, talking about them in the 3rd person right in front of them, I'm sure the liberal talk-show circuit would so support that.

[veriwildcat]

Dr. Helen Fisher's work is not bullshit. Pity that when you get to tv, the tv people tend to oversimplify for the sake of the masses. Its not BS if you actually read her books, not spend all your time watching youtube videos on dating.

[woodyfly]

This is legit, more or less. It's not ABSOLUTE, but it's a good guideline. I can more or less tell if a girl is the promiscuous type. I've been right 9/10 cases

[marfaned]

@woodyfly Is your database so large that you can come up with a number 9/10? Unintended bias and pre-judgments can get in as we are humans. I am not talking about the fairly obvious case where one can easily get both the soft and the hard data.

[cacaolover1]

this sounds like BS

[WINxTEC]

Physiognomy

[carl056]

this is BS

[anikinippon]

4:15 Mate guarding = twat swatters, women do that all the time weather or not they want a long term relationship or not.

[davedroid]

this is cheesy commercial garbage,over emphasis on genetic features and an under-weighting of social dynamics.all this jaw talk reminds me quagmire from family guy.

[scarlettsnowe]

I've never heard her say anything negative about them. Also, she says she studies love, but she doesn't mention any experiments. Why not? It would only prove her credibility if she did.

[SoleroExotic]

lol, please read her books, there she mentions experiments

+ i bet you'll find them interesting ;)

[marfaned]

scarlettsnowe: You are correct. This is a recycling of the the psuedo science of "criminally inclined faces" "crainiometry" etc. all of which have been thoroughly debunked. This 19th century stuff is being rehashed with new words. Many people in prison for serious crimes would be analysed as sensitive etc., if the background was blinded for her. Ted Bundy looked pretty good...

And many innocent people were criminalized just using their faces a hundred years ago. Quackery at its best.

[woodyfly]

@marfaned

Ted bundy looked 'pretty good'?

In what terms? Are you talking about attractiveness? Because if that's so, face reading has nothing to do with that.

Ted bundy looked like a psycho. If you can't see that, just give up, you can't read peoples faces at all. His eyebrows, his eyes, his jaw, everything about him was really murderously intense.

[marfaned]

@woodyfly I am not talking about "attractiveness" whatever that means because it is a subjective judgment. I have dealt with people who look psycho and who look creepy and found that was no correlation to behaviour. It is dangerous because one day some police officer could decide that you look criminal and railroad you through the system. This is why we need hard evidence like DNA plus a host of other data before we even indict somebody. Innocent people were criminalized using unscientific data.

[MazeleyFanClub]

@woodyfly Based on what? The fact that you saw his face after the fact and associated it with psychosis...

[woodyfly]

@MazeleyFanClub

Based on my own personal experiences with people, especially women. Our outside features are a representation of our personality, MORE or less. It's not 100% accurate but it's something I take into consideration.

[scarlettsnowe]

I went to a psychology 101 class for college once. In my psychology book there was an article about sham fortune-tellers, and she reminds me of it. Basically, people that read palms and handwriting flatter people and make general comments that apply to most people. If you flatter someone and make a general comment they will usually believe you, even if it's not true. She reminds me of it because she always flatters everyone.

[c4gray]

There's more than just the genetics obviously... Look at the social components as well. This short clip is so generalized and sad. Also, why does Helen fisher downplay the estrogen? She should really hammer the fact that men do need estrogen, albeit a lower amount.

[cazzerrella]

geez metalhaze thats a very genrealized comment. Are you using your own experiences?

I'm sorry you feel so bitter. Bitterness can only harm u and stop you from moving forward.

Helen Fisher rocks.

[metalhaze1982]

sorry but women will ALWAYS want the sexiest guy...yeh, a they will want a nice guy to control and to USE to raise their kids but sooner or later, they'll cheat on him with the sexy guy...the moral of the story, guys, aim to be the top dog and don't settle for being average!

[Iambecome]

Can you guys try to keep your comments at least semi-coherent, if that wouldn't be too much to ask?

[jadeorchid2009]

She's all about spewing out sound bites.She's

extremely sexist towards both men and women.Behavior isn't hard wired.The individual

has influence,this is why these ha "researchers overlook the individual because when you believe you CAN,you CAN.She'll be history in a few years.

[Fallendreaml7]

Soft face or mascular face is better??

I don't get this.

Hybird cars are only good for the world.

Girls like "classy" cars.

BTWs,

Reido are you saying that you don't like to fall in love or something??

[Reido2828]

Hm I don't agree with this because I think mating is an inefficient word for humans and consciously were evolving to love the inner self of a human and women are better at that way better at it. I don't agree with all of this. What about the passion? Commitment? The excitement? Lust eh why don't we just move back into ther b ush climb tree's naked and a ct like our ancestors. You down?

[peaceinstiches]

Helen Fisher thinks hybrid cars are chick magnets.

[Reido2828]

take her seriously or not?

[peaceinstiches]

I don't take her seriously. She made an illogical statement on TV the other day that annoyed me; it was about hybrid cars.

Also, we dont' need any more Dr. Phils out there. There is enough self help products as it is, too much self help from diffirent people equals contradictions. In this case, I'll gladly pass on her.

[Reido2828]

I think I love you:) everyone is talking about this girl. She says love was put on us like a fairy tale now that is true to a point but the reality is that is what our consciouness is evolving to become and if that is illusion then there is no harm in making it seem like a fairy tale. Im so sick of ppl like her always talking about o amting for survival of the species and mating because our genes say so or chemicals are afloat around our brains to make it happen. still a s smart woman tho.
