Despite the fact that people fall in love with some and remain completely indifferent to others, they do not know why this is happening? Scientists cannot unequivocally answer this question. However, there are quite a few theories on this topic that can provide clues.
Biological theory
From the point of view of biologists, real life is like the animal world. Therefore, a person seems attractive to those individuals that can grow strong offspring. For this reason, men pay attention to prominent women, because beauty is a proportionate physique and excellent health. Women, in turn, give preference to those men who can help the offspring "get on their feet" and get settled in life.
The theory of geneticists
Geneticists are convinced that in order to get healthy offspring, the genetic material must be of high quality. Hence the fashion for symmetrical facial features. According to studies, a woman determines whether a particular man is suitable for her as a father of future children in half a minute.
At the same time, during the period of ovulation, women pay attention to men with pronounced masculine features, typical "macho" with inflated muscles, wide cheekbones and a well-defined chin. At other times, the female sex is more attracted to men with small "feminine" features. This is because men with high testosterone will have healthier offspring.
Fragrance theory
Scientists have found that a person's nose has a special organ that allows you to "sniff out" a potential spouse, which could ensure the emergence of strong offspring. The organ is only susceptible to pheromones and aromatic oils. It has been established that if you do not like the smell of a person, then the relationship with him, most likely, will not work out. People will not show interest in each other.
Generic script theory
The American psychologist Eric Berne developed the so-called transactional analysis, which is based on the theory that people can repeat the life of their ancestors.
For example, if a mother has been alone all her life, then, perhaps, her daughter, without realizing it, will lay down her fate in the same way. If a child was raised by alcoholic parents, he will always choose such people who suffer from bad habits. In esotericism this concept is called "generic curse", and in psychology - "generic script".
Thus, many scientists have tried to develop their own "theorem" of love. Research was carried out in various scientific fields: biological, genetic, psychological. But they have not been able to come to a common conviction so far.
