This explains NOTHING! Shlog says: BAD TALK- don’t bother.

Though her data is sketchy, it’s still insightful. Who hasn’t shared the experience she addresses:

“You walk into a party of people at mostly the same socioeconomic level, approximately the same level of attractiveness. And you are magnetized to a single person, to the exclusion of all others”.

Oh, how true. I’m hoping some more conclusive research arrives sometime soon.
Until then, I’ll simply enjoy the rich experience of being – in love.
Well, a guy can hope, can’t he?
