In this episode, we are going to discuss 7 Differences Between How Men And Women Fall In Love, According To Science.
Thinking women are the ones to develop feelings and fall in love first, the opposite may actually be true in many cases.
And the reason for this is most likely related to biology. "The authors [of the study] concluded that this makes sense primarily because [...] women have to be more guarded about falling for [someone] for evolutionary reasons," the researchers claim, whereas men traditionally have less to lose. Of course this isn't the case for everyone, and may not apply to life today, but it is something to consider.
Number 2. Men May Say "I Love You" First.
To expand on that same idea, that study also revealed that many men in relationships with women typically say "I love you" first, which really does fly in the face of what we may think to be true.
According to the study, there's this widely held belief that women are more "romantic," but the responses of study participants indicated that men reported falling in love earlier, and expressing it earlier than women reported.
Again, biology may be at play here, due to the that a pragmatic and cautious view of love has adaptive significance for women, according to the study. Remember, it's certainly not a hard and fast rule, but may be a pattern that's sticking round all thanks evolution.
Number 3. Women Might Say "I Love You" More Often.
Women may be more likely to express their love verbally by saying "I love you" more often than men.
Ashley Batz/Bustle said,
Once a couple has already established how they feel about each other, however, women in relationships with men may be more likely to say "I love you" on a more frequent basis, research finds. As Forshee says, "Cross-cultural research has indicated that women tend to say 'I love you' more than men."
That, and it may also be true that the phrase means more to women than it does to men, according to science. "Overall, research suggests that women list their partners' expressions of 'I love you' in their top 10 romantic acts, but men do not. If men possess knowledge that women find 'I love you' to be romantic, men may communicate what their partners want to hear with the objective of advancing the relationship," Forshee says. But will they be as likely to say it on their own accord? Maybe not.
Again, biology may be at play. "From an evolutionary perspective, women saying 'I love you' may communicate commitment, and they would benefit from saying this because it would assure them the ability to pair up with a partner, especially based on the fact that they can only reproduce for a certain period of time," Forshee says.
Even though these are modern times we're living in, it's something that may have stuck with some people.
Number 4. Women Are More Likely To Focus Their Love.
Think back to your high school or middle school days, and all those crushes you had. Did you tend to focus your love and affection on one individual? Or were you pretty much in love with everyone? While everyone's different, your gender may have played a role.
One study "showed that adolescent males [attracted to women] fall in love more quickly, and do so more often, that is, falling for a variety of girls, whereas girls [attracted to men] tend more to fixate on a smaller number of guys," Jonathan and David Bennett say.
Of course, this doesn't mean that all women attracted to men zero in on one man, while their male counterparts are off falling in love with every women they see. It all comes down to the individual, preferences, and so on. But is still interesting to consider all the same.
