• The mechanisms discussed have been at play for thousands of years and will continue to influence our minds and bodies in the future.

Core Mechanisms of Seeking Relationships

This section focuses on the core mechanisms that lead individuals to seek out relationships with others.

Seeking Mating Partners or Relationships

• Individuals seek out others for various purposes such as mating, having children, short-term or long-term relationships.

• Childhood attachment styles influence adult attachment styles.

• Neural circuits underlying attachment between infants/caregivers are repurposed for adult romantic attachments.

Plasticity of Desire, Love, and Attachment

This section discusses how our biology can shape our perception of attractiveness and how desire, love, and attachment are amenable to change.

Plasticity in Neural Circuits

• Our childhood attachment styles do not determine our adult attachment styles.

• Neural circuits for desire, love, and attachment can change based on thoughts, feelings, and actions.

Influence of Menstrual Cycle on Attractiveness

This section discusses studies that explore how women's menstrual cycle affects their attractiveness to men and vice versa.

Menstrual Cycle and Attractiveness

• Study 1: Men rate the odors of women as most attractive when those women are in the pre-ovulatory phase of their menstrual cycle.

• Study 2: Women rate men's odors as more attractive during the pre-ovulatory phase of their menstrual cycle.
