Love

Falling in love is a weird phenomenon. It happens when you least expect it, it never stems from any sort of rational thinking and it’s always annoyingly complicated. How many times you have watched in horror as a close friend falls head over heels for a high-maintenance freakazoid who seems all wrong for him? And how many times have you fallen for someone, only to look back years later, shake your head and ask yourself: “Why was I ever in to that psychopath? Was I smoking crack?” (As it turns out, you might as well have been doing just that.) It’s perplexing, but it happens all the time to the best of people, and there’s not a damn thing that can be done about it. Now, scientists may at least have an explanation for our ridiculous behavior.


According to a new study conducted by Syracuse University Professor Stephanie Ortigue, falling in love elicits the same euphoric feeling as using cocaine, affects intellectual areas of the brain and—perhaps most tellingingly—only takes about a fifth of a second to actually happen. So really, it’s no wonder that love totally sucks most of the time. Let’s face it—cokeheads aren’t exactly known for making the best decisions. It’s hard to be rational when you’re jacked and high because at that particular moment, everything seems awesome and anything seems possible. If that’s how we’re feeling when we’re falling in love, that certainly explains why we suddenly lose all sense of reality and conclude in less than a second that the babe sitting across from us is the bee’s knees, despite the fact that she has terrible taste in music, no discernible career aspirations and a unfortunate tendency to get drunk and sleep with our friends.

Sadly, there’s no real solution to the problem. At least it’s possible to quit a coke habit, or just not do it in the first place. Falling in love is a force that strikes out of the blue and takes control of your life before you even know what’s happening, and there aren’t really any rehab facilities for the lovesick (unless you count therapy). Fortunately, like cocaine, the euphoria of a love high only lasts so long, which means there is a chance that you might eventually come to your senses.
