Science Of Love
RED EYE CHICAGO TRIBUNE -- Apr 24 -- Scientific
minds across the country are attempting to
decode the rules of romance, tackling issues such as the role evolution
plays in attraction, whether a "love" hormone exists, and how love
affects the human mind. Science is sweeping even the online dating world, according to trend watcher Mark Brooks of Online Personals Watch,
who said online dating sites are increasingly adding features,
including handwriting analysis, to match like-minded mates.
Scientificmatch.com dabbles in DNA testing, currently charging $995
for a lifetime membership. The site claims to analyze some of the
potential partners' immune system genes in order to help online
daters make the right romantic connections. "With all the time, energy
and money that people put into dating
sites or dating to find love, it's not surprising to see
that even more scientific methods are being leveraged," said Brooks.
"Since the mid-'90s, online
dating has revolutionized the level of personal detail
and data you can provide. I can totally see it heading in the direction
of science to assist with compatible matching." FULL ARTICLE @ RED EYE CHICAGO TRIBUNE
