Behind the Swipe

Episode 24 - My Neurochemical Romance


Listen Later

In this week's episode of Behind the Swipe we delve into the intricate dance between love and the potent neurochemicals that guide our hearts and decisions in the realm of online dating, especially for those navigating the scene in their 40s, 50s, and beyond.

Join host Hoyt Prisock and guest expert Dawn Maslar-Biggie, author of "Men Chase, Women Choose" and renowned as the Love Biologist, as they explore the fascinating world where biology meets emotion. This episode sheds light on how hormones such as dopamine, oxytocin, and vasopressin play pivotal roles from the initial spark of attraction to the deepening of connections and the critical choices that lead us to select one partner over another.

But here's the twist – understanding the science behind these automatic reactions doesn't strip away the magic of love; instead, it empowers us. We uncover how recognizing these autonomic responses can allow the advanced, rational parts of our brain to step in and navigate these complex waters with wisdom and clarity, reminding us that we are not merely at the mercy of our biology.

Whether you're a seasoned swiper or just dipping your toes into the digital dating pool, "My Neurochemical Romance" promises to enlighten, entertain, and perhaps even challenge your perceptions of what drives our desires and decisions in the quest for love. Let's navigate the complexities of love and attraction together, armed with knowledge and ready for whatever comes our way.
