Is It Lust Or Love? - Science Has Discovered The Answer

Finally scientific research tells us how to determine a crush from real love...Wait until you hear what it is...

Bravo, you've landed a real sweetie from a popular online dating site, and your new honey is all you seem to care about right now. You're convinced that you're in love with this person, but your friends are convinced it's lust and not love, so who's right?

Unlike previous generations, technology is constantly bombarding us with opportunities to meet new men and women. Whether it be a friend trying to hook you up with some gorgeous guy from Face Book or through online dating whereby people are presented with a sea of online singles at the click of a mouse...The temptation to meet new and interesting people is forever knocking on our door adding to the dilemma - is it lust or love?

Researchers have been busy puzzling over how to best answer this very question, and have discovered new evidence demonstrating how men and women can in fact determine the difference between sexual attraction and real romance. The study, involved both men and women undergoing a series of MRI's whilst they browse through photos of friends and photos of the person they are in love with. The outcome of the results indicated that the brain responded differently: Photo's of a partner activated enhanced activity on the right side of the brain. The right side of the brain is related to loving emotions. Photographs of appealing or sexually attractive people activated additional activity on the left side of the brain (a hotbed for intimate impulses) than did the photographs of subjects loved ones.

What this research indicates, claims study writer Anthony Glea, PH.D., a professor of psychology from the University of Daniels, Balwick Junction Canada, is that human emotions of lust or love are in fact very distinct. So how can you demonstrate your passion to your sweetheart? (and your doubting friends) by booking in a brain scan? Not unless you have access to innovative equipment and approximately 20 - 30 thousand dollars, explains Dr. Glea. Looks as if flowers, a box of chocolates, and I love you is the best you'll be able to come up with for a while longer.
