Liberals and conservatives are looking for entirely different things. Their attitudes toward romance and how they court are really dramatically different. There's almost no overlap.

Romantic love allows you to focus mating energy. Attachment sustains that relationship as long as necessary to raise your baby.

You size up someone physically in less than one second - too tall, too short, too fat, too thin, too old, too young, too stuffy, too scruffy.

When people tell you to walk a certain way, it's like not thinking of a purple tomato. You can't not do it.

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.

My hypothesis is that conservative Republicans have very clear values, and when you have that, you're simply more relaxed.

I think romantic love evolved to enable you to focus your mating energy on just one individual at a time, thereby conserving mating time and energy.
