Do men fall in love with beauty?

The scientists go on to explain that for men, physical attraction, particularly a beautiful face "is a sign of fertility and the survival instinct draws them to women who can carry on their line." Women, however, take a bit longer to decide if a man will make a suitable partner.

When it comes to love, what do looks have to do with it? According to a new study from the University of Amsterdam, a lot. For men, anyway.

In a recent Daily Mail story, University of Amsterdam scientists explain that men who go gaga for gorgeous gals within "milliseconds" of spotting them aren't being shallow—they're actually following their "ancient genetic preferences." The scientists go on to explain that for men, physical attraction, particularly a beautiful face "is a sign of fertility and the survival instinct draws them to women who can carry on their line." Women, however, take a bit longer to decide if a man will make a suitable partner. And we don't base this decision on looks, rather women "need to find out whether the man is committed, has a good personality and is a good provider." To test their theories, the researchers conducted a series of "tests" with both male and female subjects. The participants were asked to complete simple tasks while being shown images of faces—both attractive and unattractive. Women were able to stay on task throughout the experiment, while men lost focus when shown an image of a beautiful woman. I'd like to believe that while attraction does have something to do with a guy's decision to start dating a woman, it's certainly not the end all be all. Don't we all know couples who weren't attracted to each other right away? Plus, I'm a little put off about the idea that some of the faces shown to the study participants were considered unattractive; isn't beauty subjective? One person's frog might be another person's prince.

What do you make of this new study? Do think guys can fall for attractive women in an instant? Can women fall for guys that fast? Have you? Does love at first sight exist? And if so, is it ever more than just physical attraction?

Even more stories about real-guy behavior…

Can your soul be connected to someone?

When you feel a soul tie, it's simply the sense that another soul is in your life for a reason. For example, if your life is very busy yet you meet a new potential friend or potential business partner, the sense that you have a soul tie to this person could inspire you to make room in your life for the relationship.

Many Eastern religions and philosophies discuss the concept of past lives. I can always tell when a client has met someone they knew well in a past life by the way they describe the connection. If the connection is manifesting as a romance, they might say, "I've never felt this way before!" When two souls have shared a significant past life together (or perhaps several), if they meet again in this life they may be inexplicably drawn to each other—and the sexual chemistry can be off the charts. What people are feeling is the built-up energy over other lifetimes together—and a soul recognition. Although you can have a soul recognition with any type of soul mate, the past-life ones (whether you were at odds or best friends in a past life) are extremely powerful. According to Brian Weiss, M.D., psychiatrist and past-life regression expert, two souls could agree to reincarnate and navigate toward each other after spending 1,000 earth years apart—which is quite romantic! Yet just because you had a significant past life with someone and are feeling all the feelings, it doesn't necessarily mean you are supposed to partner, romantically or otherwise, in this lifetime. Judge the relationship by who you both are today and how you treat each other now. If you suspect a past-life connection with a current lover, try to bring more healing to the situation, even if you break up. This might look like releasing them with love, wishing them well yet out of your life. Often when souls come back together in this lifetime they are looking to heal something or do better this time around.
