It is possible that two people who have never seen each other, are in a place full of people and being the first time they cross their eyes, feel an instant attraction and feel that they have fallen in love with that person; Is love possible at first sight? New scientific evidence suggests that it does exist ... living in a world where to make an appointment, often requires a great effort, where you throw yourself into rejection, then if you succeed, you risk disappointing yourself, where you go with uncertainty whether or not it will be the right person to be your partner; Falling in love at first sight is striking. In our environment we know of cases of people who have managed to fall in love at first sight and who have run the luck that turned out to be the love of their life ... on the contrary we see other cases where there are couples that last for a long time courting, after boyfriends and in the end their relationships fail because they were not completely in love !!
"A study carried out in 2004 (E. Naumann) suggested that approximately 60% of people have ever experienced it, but was it really love at first sight?
Scientists seldom empirically study love at first sight, but new research conducted in the Netherlands offers evidence to support this phenomenon. The experts asked almost 400 men and women to complete surveys of potential romantic partners immediately after meeting with these people for the first time. Love at first sight is not a memory bias It is more likely to feel love at first sight with beautiful people Men feel love at first sight more often than women Love at first sight is not usually mutual. Love at first sight is not really "love"
This included indicating their agreement with the statement, "I am experiencing love at first sight with this person," as well as reporting how physically attractive they were to the person in question and how much passion (ie, sexual attraction) they felt upon seeing it. . The data collection was dispersed in three contexts: online; in the lab (where photos of potential partners were shown); and in person (where people saw each other face to face). These were the results:
We experience love at first sight in the instant we meet a person. It is a strong initial attraction that could later become a relationship. The argument of biased memories, creating the illusion of having fallen in love with each other instantly, is not an appropriate explanation for all cases of love at first sight.
In this study, participants were more likely to report having experienced love at first sight with physically attractive people; in fact, a higher attractive rating on the scale used by the researchers was 9 times more likely than others to report that electric feeling of love at first sight.
Researchers are not sure why this happens, but it demands more research. Could women be less inclined to this experience because they are more selective, as other studies have shown?
A comparison of the reports of the participants showed that, in general, it is a unilateral phenomenon; This suggests that instant shared love is not very common. The researchers suspect, however, that a partner's intense initial experience could help shape the other person's memory, shifting it to the belief that he or she also experienced love at first sight.
The kind of qualities that are known to reflect love, intimacy, commitment, passion, are not particularly strong in the first moments when people say they fell in love at first sight. At least, these emotions are not experienced to the same extent as people with established relationships do.
In summary, science favors romantics. Love at first sight exists, but it is not so much "love" or "passion", but a strong attraction that causes people to be particularly open to the possibilities of a relationship."
