Despite the myth that men are less committed, they are predisposed to desire marriage.

There were real reasons that you were attracted to somebody originally. The brain doesn't pick willy-nilly. Unless you part ways hating each other for some reason, that mechanism could get triggered again. You can literally fall in love again.

Any kind of novelty or excitement drives up dopamine in the brain, and dopamine is associated with romantic love.

A lot of people have been romantically in love with somebody who they feel wasn't appropriate to marry.

Nobody gets out of love alive. You turn into a menace or a pest when you've been rejected.

When you massage someone, the levels of oxytocin go up in the brain, and oxytocin is one of the chemicals that drives attachment.

As societies continue to loosen their standards regarding what is appropriate female and male behavior, I think we are going to realize we have not only underestimated women, but also men.
