They should have tested women looking at a man's wallet.

I get all goofy over my daughter....

Love for a child is not the same kind of emotion.

It does not interfere with your judgement.

It probably enhances it.

Just bacause you use the term "goofy" does not mean a thing.

Other than that you have a goofy vocabulary.

This makes perfect sense. It is in the interest of DNA to reproduce, and so critical thinking is counter to the interest of DNA. Natural selection at work.

LOL!

Yes I do! And I am NOT sorry!

Whether or not I am rational regarding my daughter.... I doubt it... I love her, teach her, protect her, prosper her, would die, ( or LIVE! ) to keep her safe, to make her learn and grow and be happy!

I do insane things for her that I would never do for anyone else.

It's NOT logical.

Unfortunately, "Ray Charles was Blind" ruins the contantenation. The verb must be in the present tense for the joke to make any sense.

And I have no doubt whatsoever that Ray Charles sees very clearly now, God love him.

chain reaction, the chemical precursors that signal the onset of emotion, designed specifically to overwhelm logic, and reason.

I used to propound on this subject years before Leykis got in on the act. Love is a bio/chemical process that has evolved to stimulate reproduction. It lasts for about the time required to produce 1-2 offspring (pre-birth control).

In the good ole' days (that is, the entire history of mankind up till the Pill), teens would have sex, the girl would get pregnant within a few days/weeks, they would get married, she would give birth, recover, then they'd be back at it and produce a second kid. Total elapsed time: 18-24 months.

After the party is over and the sex dries up, the male is left suporting multiple dependents. Nature plays a very mean game - it will do anything to continue life.

Two iron laws of the universe.

1. Sex makes you stupid.

2. The lack of sex also makes you stupid.

This explains the Republican's love for Rush Limbaugh.

"It seems that once we get close to a person, the brain decides the need to assess their character and personality is reduced."

Aw, lighten up, wouldja?

I'm not trying to start a fight... I'm just saying that the hormones and wiring we all have make us do weird stuf and it's NOT all sexual. Makes no sense but it's real nontheless!

"Scientists have shown that there is a degree of truth in the old adage that love is blind. They have found that feelings of love lead to a suppression of activity in the areas of the brain controlling critical thought. "

This explain why women can't get enough of losers, addicts, and abusers. They are incapable of making a rational decision.
