Love isn’t magic—it’s biology with a sense of humor and absolutely no chill.

In this episode of Planting Thoughts, Mike breaks down the psychology and neuroscience of attraction, falling in love, and heartbreak—why your brain obsesses, why losing someone feels physically painful, and why otherwise intelligent people end up serenading dorm windows at 1 a.m. (ask him how he knows).

We dive deep into:

• The evolutionary psychology of attraction (yes, hypergamy included)
  

• The dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin cocktail that hijacks your brain
  

• Why love lowers judgment and raises confidence at the worst possible times
  

• The real neuroscience behind heartbreak and emotional withdrawal
  

• Practical, science-backed steps to become more attractive and recover faster
  

• Pop psychology myths vs what actually works
  

If you’ve ever wondered why love makes you act unrecognizable—or how to stop repeating the same painful patterns—this episode is for you.
