The book explains that attraction is essentially a chemical reaction between two people. Biological factors also contribute to the strength of attraction such as the part of our brain called the caudate nucleus, which is considered to be a lobe, and the ventral tegmental. Both parts of the brain receive signals to create the feeling of love. When this feeling is created, dopamine levels are increased and this explains the feeling of craving that person and serotonin is then released that explains the increased level of happiness when one sees the person they are attracted to. While this explains the chemical attraction, there is the consideration of personal choices such as their age, their anatomy, and their personal habits. Also, it is said that there is approximately a 3 year period where this intense feeling of romantic love starts to dissipate and people, who are quite compatible, will have to work on keeping this romance alive.
