So here's the biggest ever Dumbspeak some people have been duped with: That Lovey Dovey feeling.
Con's friend J is marrying Ange's friend HB on the rebound. 6 months
Ange's friend T is marrying God-knows-Who on a Limited Shelf Life. Less than one year.
And last month Eve told me my ex-galpal JB married someone right after a 4 year relationship folded. In 6 months.
All have one thing in common: they believe they are happy.
And they really are! Let me tell you why: it's not love. It's a little known culprit behind your frontal cortex.
This is scientific people, I ain't making this up: the thing you believe is "love" is really your brain suppressing its CRITICAL REASONING FUNCTION.
Tony verified it, cos well, he's Tony and he reads more than me anyway. And since I am a right-wing empiricist, science speaks louder than words. And because this hypothesis was tested years ago and came out in quite a few prominent medical journals. You do the Googling, I have a thesis to write.
Basically, if you have been seeing/fucking/romanticising the same person for less than 12-18 months, please get an MRI scan. The neurologist will point out the target of our discussion today. If that part of your brain responsible for critical reasoning is suppressed (scan should be taken while you are looking at/thinking about your honey), please don't do anything rash.
In a few months, depending on how short your attention span (or how delusional you are), the next MRI should show that part of the brain working again. And by then, you won't feel so lovey-dovey, you'll be thinking a LOT more about his/her nasty habits, finding fault, you'll be having one or two more arguments and suddenly the honey doesn't taste so sweet any more. Ah and yes, you'll be having much less sex.
Our brain dupes us into feeling this way, probably for species survival, DUH. Hence the procreation that comes so naturally on Friday and Saturday one-night-stands. We're not biologically programmed to look for problems or faults in the first 2 years (average) of a relationship. That's enough time to sign your life away to the marriage institution.
Remember: before getting "madly" committed, get your MRI first.
Don't say you weren't warned.
