Love is a crazy force. It’s unpredictable and inconsistent.

It can be kind yet cruel, strong yet soft, invigorating yet tiring, unmistakable yet elusive. Love is the only force that can make you feel wonderful today and miserable tomorrow. Love is exhausting!

It’s no wonder we humans fall in love in unusual patterns.

Anybody who’s ever experienced love of any sort would relate to some of these psychological facts that guide the way we humans fall for one another.

1. Talkative girls and quiet guys make the best couples.

Most women are talkative and would always find quiet guys more attractive.

Women hate it when the guy in their lives will monopolize 99% of their conversations without allowing them talk, but would be fine if it goes the other way round.

Research says that the portion of the brain responsible for processing emotions (the limbic system) is significantly deeper in females than in males. This means that a girl will listen to her man when he speaks.
