I have literally heard a woman say that. She was speaking to a friend of ours who was recently married and she said "I really want to have a marriage but I don't want to get married".
Conscious attraction = forebrain / cerebrum mediated - it is dependant on higher level thinking (this nice friendly person has a lot of resources which will put my children in a good position) Subconscious attraction = limbic system/hindbrain mediated - automatic subconscious attraction which is dependent on whether or not a person stimulates the limbic system by portraying perceived dominannce
Nice comparison with men listening to other men emotions - that kind of thing seriously pisses me off. However how can I be more emotional with my girl without sounding like a bitch?
