Can a person fall in love with a kiss? Kissing is an expression of affection. Scientists have a theory of how kissing became a universal behavior. The theory is that humans have a strong attachment towards kissing beginning with breastfeeding or bottle feeding.

Women tend to be more selective when selecting mates that’s why it’s a higher percentage of women ending a relationship because a kiss didn’t go well. In 2013, Wlodarski and his team found out that in a research study of “over 300 men and just under 600 women and found that women tend to prioritize a partner’s ability to kiss more than men did.” Wlodarski also states that kissing “seems to be an activity that is very well placed to help individuals get close to each other and sample each other’s pheromones.” This plays a role in human attraction and mating behavior because pheromones are chemicals that give off different odors that make people attracted to

Stop Kiss was a heart breaking play about the effects of human ignorance. Though this play left me with many questions, I realized that the answers that I was looking for, did not impact the play and its message. This play is about two lovely girls who fell in love with each other that almost cost one of them the ultimate price. I would like to say that I went into this play with low expectations, and came out pleasantly surprised. Janina Jaskowiak and Claudia Rojas did a phenomenal job as with the rest of the cast. Though you could tell that these girls where not professional actors, they change the word amateurs. In this review I will be talking about the design aspects of the play, the acting, the directing

It may seem obvious to some why people mate, however there are many facets to human mating. Psychology has shown that reasons for mating have gone beyond the scope of love and physical attractiveness. People may search for mates who resemble archetypical images of the opposite-sex parent, mates with characteristics that are either complementary or similar to one's own qualities, or mates with whom to make an exchange of valuable resources (Buss 238). Although these theories play a key role in understanding patterns in human mating preferences, evolutionary psychology and sexual selection theory provide more concrete frameworks for explaining human mating.
Love is a powerful emotion that affects everyone at some time in their lives. According to Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary, love is defined as a feeling of strong and constant affection for someone(1). Love can refer to the feelings between a couple in a romantic relationship, or it can refer to the affection one would have with a friend. When love is shown, each person cares about the other. Sometimes, love can be hypnotizing, causing one to do something they would not do normally. In “Gift of Magi” by O Henry and “The Tell-Tale Heart” by Edgar Allen Poe, it shows that love can make one do crazy things.
Love is a lot of thing, sometimes love can show by kissing someone or just simply caring for someone. Sometimes people manipulate love into something else while thinking they are doing for the right reasons.

Those who does not use it properly will end up like Macbeth for losing s/he’s own mind. Those who use it property will end up something good, although during the process, there might be some obstacles, but as long as s/he can survive it, then it will all ends up good.
