Oh yeah mean and women look at the love thing totally differently in general; also varies person to person.

In general women are more materialistic then men When I had my first new expensive car, lot of girls talked to me in a voice that was much different then before Thats just one example.

[earthbound soul]

not all the time, because most of the woman i know fall in love truly with the person and not for any other reason.....

[JPee]

Yes, it's different and i think that it depends on the person character

[my_misyel]

I know it's really different. We are all different!

[jabo]

men and women are different and so are men from men and ladies from ladies. there are also differences between men and boys and women and ladies. but material things do make a good impression. like that hot car ^^

Q: What do men look for in a mate?
Dr. Fisher: Men are more likely to choose women who display signs of youth and beauty—the first time that they marry, men around the world tend to marry women who are three years younger than themselves. Men are also attracted to women who “need” them. Men want to be helpful.

Q: What do women look for in a mate?
Dr. Fisher: Women are attracted to partners with money, status, and ambition—one study found that American women seek partners who offered financial security twice as frequently as men do. If men look for “sex objects,” then women look for “success objects.”

This is definitely a good point. And also could explain the difference... Very true indeed.

Q: What’s the difference between love and lust?
Dr. Fisher: Lust generally dissipates after having sex and returns hours or days later. You can feel it for several people at the same time and not necessarily feel jealous. But when you’re in love, you are very possessive. And romantic feelings don’t dissipate after having sex; in fact, they can intensify.

Q: Does having sex make people fall in love?
Dr. Fisher: Having sex can trigger love—probably because after orgasm, there’s a peak in dopamine activity. So watch out if you casually bed down with someone—you might unintentionally fall for them.

Lust and love is really two different things.... Lust is more on just physically desire... while love is more on heart's desire...

Sex sometimes make people fall in love especially if its done occasionally... =)

but i agree what zeruel posted...

[mabel01]

We have this individuality, different characters therefore men and women fall in love differently

its not that bad!!! its actually like being addicted to something, you do that thing that your addicted to almost with every chance that you would have. but in this case, its the
sad opposite.

i do think that we fall in love diferently , why ? because we're looking for different thing and are reacting differently as well so how could be fall in love the same way ?

but after it depends if you are talking about the physical act of falling in love that could be the same from a scientist point of view

Good thing, I am not american.. . But If that's the case, then I guess I need to implement this “success objects” thing..

[lovekissing]

for me its the same it may only seem different because in our mind we know that they our different when it comes to gender...

[webcrafters]

men and women are different and so are men from men and ladies from ladies. there are also differences between men and boys and women and ladies.

That's the post I was going to make before I saw Jabo's :-)

Love is a psychological thing not a scientific thing, scientifically we all have the instinct to procreate psychologically we have the capacity to love. There fore everything that makes us who we've become throughout our past is what determines how we fall in love and what traits are those that ignite those feelings within us.
