- Attraction: DNA's Radar System
Your attraction to someone is driven by subtle genetic cues. You think you’re into someone’s looks or personality? Wrong. Your genes are scanning for traits that signal high-quality DNA. Symmetry, clear skin, good body proportions—all of these are markers of robust genetics, immune system strength, and fertility. Women subconsciously seek men whose traits scream genetic dominance—whether that’s physical strength, social status, or intelligence. Men? They’re hardwired to chase youth and fertility, the classic cues for reproductive success. - The Love Drug: Chemical Warfare
When you fall in love, it’s just your brain pumping chemicals like dopamine (reward), serotonin (well-being), and oxytocin (bonding). It’s no accident; these chemicals manipulate your behavior to keep you hooked. You feel euphoric because your brain is creating an emotional high to lock you into a relationship long enough for DNA to get what it wants—procreation. It’s literally a neurological hack to trap you into bonding with someone, for however long it takes to pop out and raise offspring. - Attachment: Evolution’s Security System
Why does love often turn into attachment? Because in a purely evolutionary sense, commitment increases offspring survival. In humans, long-term bonds make it easier to raise children in the chaotic, resource-demanding world. Evolution uses love as a biological contract—a temporary agreement, signed in chemicals, to make sure the next generation gets launched safely into the world. Once the genetic mission is complete, that’s when you see couples fall apart. - Selection: It's Not Personal, It’s Genetic
Even "who" you fall in love with isn’t a choice. It’s DNA-driven. Every interaction you have, every relationship you form is filtered through an ancient genetic algorithm. Your DNA is constantly calculating who’s the best bet for reproductive success. Whether you’re consciously aware of it or not, your "preferences" for partners are hardwired by biology. Love, in this sense, is nothing more than an evolved mechanism designed to make sure you choose someone whose genetic material will mix well with yours.
