Love at First Sight
Today, many people are arguing about whether love at first sight is real or if it is lust working it’s magic. Love is a strong thing composed of different chemicals that course through your body. There’s also psychological reactions to love, like that of lust. Love at first sight may seem like a far-off dream, but there might be a way to change that.
A common argument is about whether it is lust or love. Lust is something that is controlled by your biological sex drive. Lust is often motivated by physical appearance. Which is one the most important dimensions of lust and love. Author Michael Argyle exemplifies in his book “Bodily Communication.” (1) Love plays by its own rules. It is most often lust formed into something much deeper. Your brain

All you should do is grab a random stranger. Next, reveal very intimate details about each other’s lives for a half hour. Finally, stare deep into their eyes without talking for four minutes. He had many test subjects perform this thirty-four-minute experiment. Afterwards many of the couples said they felt very attracted to each other. Two of the subjects even got married. (6)
Love is a very controversial term. You may believe in love at first sight, or you may not. Although, the science does not lie. What you feel at the beginning is lust and infatuation not true love. True love can only grow. WORKS CITED

The validity was not enough for the whole research. For the questionnaire part, it is valid at that time. Questionnaire items represented the personal visions of two panels of students and faculty about the ideas of love and like. Those questions were chosen under a serious consideration and related to the concept of love and liking. However, some questions are not suitable to use nowadays and this will be discussed below. For the experiment, it was not valid. The author used the eye contact to assess the couples’ visual behavior but it was not a good measurement. Some mature couple would develop into deeper relationship and have closer contact such as hug. Eye contact may not be a way or necessary for them to communicate but this didn’t mean that they were not close.

The article '' love: the right chemistry'' by Anastasia Toufexis efforts to explain the concept of love from a scientific aspect in which an amateur will understand. Briefly this essay explains and describe in a scientific way how people's stimulation of the body works when you're falling in love. The new scientific researches have given the answer through human physiology how genes behave when your feelings for example get swept away. The justification for this is explained by how the brain gets flooded by chemicals. The author expresses in one point that love isn't just a nonsense behavior nor a feeling that exhibits similar properties as of a narcotic drug. This is brought about by an organized chemical chain who controls different depending on the individual. A simple action such as a deep look into someone's eyes can start the simulation in the body that an increased production of hand sweat will start. The tingly feeling inside your body is a result of a scientific delineation which makes the concept of love more concretely and more factually mainly for researchers and the wide...
They confessed their love the same exact night they met, but they have never even seen each other before that night. People may say that this is love at first sight, but how exactly does that happen. How can you start loving someone the first time you see them, how do you know that they aren’t a bad person, or have a bad personality? I don't believe in love at first sight, because if you really love someone you should know stuff about them, you should have spent time with them, make sure they are the person you want to be with. It just confuses me how you can start loving someone only hours after you met. Maybe others think that they do love each other but I just don't understand how they can call this true love. How do they know that this is love? They really don’t know what this is but they think that it is love.
Sian Beilock is the author of this novel, the information written by her would be considered credible due to the fact that she is a leading expert on brain science in the psychology department at the University of Chicago. This book was also published in the year 2015 which assures readers that the information it contains is up to date and accurate. The novel is easy to understand and the author uses examples of scientific discoveries to help make the arguments more relatable. Beilock goes into depth about how love, is something more than just an emotion, it derives from the body’s anticipation. “Volunteers reported feeling
Love at initial sight is a broadly debated belief. Some believe that true love that only has physical attraction without a deeper understanding of an individual doesn’t exist. Although, others argue that someone may be able to identify true love instantly. In fact, Shakespeare dedicates part of his play to this matter. In addition, he refers to Romeo and Juliet as "star-crossed lovers". To put it in another way, the two lovers are dissatisfied by fate from the very beginning. They may not have fallen in love like normal young people, but they still truly love one another.
Lust is an incredibly strong feeling that can prove to be almost uncontrollable, leading it to commonly be mistaken for love. Due to the relative closeness of these emotions, both are often confused, and even when one is in love he or she does not recognize it. Many think that love just comes knocking on one's door and one will know when it does, but they don't realize that for love to occur a relationship has must be worked out. Love is described by some as fireworks, tingles, and butterflies in the stomach; but it is lust that can cause these things to happen, and it is these that mark only the beginning of a relationship. After a while, these feelings die out, and this is when the honeymoon period is over; it is from this point on that the relationship will either end or get stronger and eventually lead to true love.
Love and infatuation are both strong emotions that most will encounter within their lifetime. The two feelings are often misunderstood, but are differentiated through their outcomes and stability. True love does not only rely on physical attraction, but also on one’s personality. When one is truly in love, they accept their partner’s flaws and perfections. There is a connection between two people, in which they can make compromises and smart decisions. The love grows stronger with time and is not instant. On the other hand, infatuation occurs almost instantaneously and progresses quickly. Infatuation relies on lust and physical attraction. It can cause an individual to
Well I use to believe that love couldn't be made at first sight. But yet now today I do think it happens. I will now share what I think love means.

Some people get the word love mixed up with lust. People do this because they tend to forget that when in love, sex is never a necessity but an accessory to the feeling. Lust and love have so many differences it is considered ridiculous. Some people say that they love someone just to get the physical action that is so commonly wanted but never really needed. Lust is something that is completely physical, while love is the complete opposite. Love is a feeling so euphoric that everything, but at the same time nothing m...
We all fall in love at some point in our lives whether it be a passion, faith, or another person. Falling in love is a natural human behavior. It ensures the continuance of the human race through reproduction. Love is often considered a mystery because of its unexplainable feelings. It is the personal and affectionate relationship between two people. Researchers have discovered the biological reasons behind falling in love. The brain controls the signals that release chemicals and hormones in your body to give that rush that love brings.

Falling in love can be one of the most unexplained feelings a person can endure. There are two sets of feelings that are the basis of modern romantic relationships. The first is the attraction. Attraction is the excitement you feel when falling in love. To better explain this feeling, attraction is what you feel when you meet someone new who really excites you and you begin to feel aroused when thinking about this person.
