They put numbers on people in order of their attractiveness and played a small game where you would walk up to someone and hold out your hand, after that they would either accept your offer, or move on to someone else. They found that most people where either paired with the same number, or they were paired with someone that had a very close number.

When you are first in a relationship with a person there is a period in your relationship called passionate love which is when you are in a state of intense positive absorption in another. This phase usually fades away though and enters a more deep affectionate type of love known as companionate love. The more you get know someone the more equity you develop with them and this increases the state of companionate love. There should be nothing to worry about since love changes the longer you are in a relationship with another person.  As you get to know a person more through self-disclosure it becomes less about the passionate intense love and more about getting to know that person and caring about them.

Conception of attractiveness vary bay culture based upon standards that society has implemented, and how it suits their beliefs. Plus, with the social norms approach applications to attraction deal with whether the cultural standard is to conform more to societal standards, such as in collectivist culture. Compared to standing out to improve ones potential in an individualist culture.

Example:
-  Isolated tribes who aren't exposed to cultures have their own unique beauty standards.
- Back in the day if a woman was over weight she was seen as beautiful, because she was wealthy enough to afford food.
- In Korea women where visors, hats, etc., as well as apply lightening cream and sunscreen, to keep their skin pale.

In the experiment the factors that made men appeal more to women were based on status, such as cars and income. When women were shown a less attractive man in the lab they gave him a low number on a scale on 1-10, but when matched with a high income salary, they scored him much higher. Vice versa for more attractive men with low income salary. From an evolutionary approach women would want to reproduce with men who could give the best traits or best life to their kids

-After watching the video, we learned that when someone is attracted to someone else it is because what their brain is telling them is that this person is good-looking and if they were to reproduce with them the babies would turn out well. It is all about the sex hormones but also you can have a sex drive towards someone but not be in love with someone.
- On average, men tend to like women that are have very feminine features and women tend to like men that are very masculine.
- Also, when boys and girls are children, they have very similar features but as they get older and go through puberty, due to testosterone they both differ a lot more.

Positive effects: 11% of the United State's population can find and develop a successful relationship. Online dating apps attract singles who are seeking relationships. If you believe you can find someone online, there is a higher chance you will.

Negative effects: You may get cat- fished. You have too many options, so you either make a poor decision or no decision at all. Online dating uses side-by-side comparisons. Instead of focusing on how compatible we think one potential partner is to us, we perform joint evaluations, which make us prioritize traits that don't really matter to relationship success.

She is even considering leaving her spouse to find "the magic" with someone else. Please respond to her and include the following terms in your response: passionate love, companionate love, equity, and self-disclosure.

In the video, they did MRI scans on young people in love and showed them two different people, their significant and an acquaintance. When looking at a picture of their significant other, the researchers noticed activity in the area of the brain where dopamine is released. They also noticed activity in a different part of the brain that is active when you want something. There are different areas of the brain for love and lust.
