I don't remember where I found this, but it is quite funny and true:

The rational brain is always on the lookout for dangers, for complexities, for reasons to act or not act. If every time man and woman met they immediately considered all the possible risks and vulnerabilities they might face if they mated or had children, they'd run screaming from the room. The moment of attraction, in fact, mimics a kind of brain damage.Somewhere beyond flirtation, as a relationship progresses, courtship gets under way, and with it, intellectual processes resume.

Strange thing is that my boyfriend seems to be more affected by the loss of rationality, whereas I am more similar to the run-screaming-from-the-room part. Any explanations?
