Okay fellow Aspies, let's practice our face-reading skills....

I'll go with "bereaved constipation" for the guy on the right.

Ah, words... whadayagonnado with 'em, eh?

"Willingness" could mean you're being paid to do it. While "desire" could mean an urge you may partly disagree with. But I wouldn't define love as either of those word interpretations. Hence, the imprecision to which I referred.

CURSE YOU, I WAS GOING TO POST THE SAME THING!! ! :lol:

Well, love is the affection, devotion and/or great liking of something/someone. That is of course a vague description. Love... as it is called, comes in many forms.

I'm saying "repressed homoerotic fantasy" for the middle.

Love...that's a tricky one. I'm guessing it is caused by brain chemistry. Somehow you "fall for" somebody....it feels like nothing matters because life just seems so damn good. What you feel for them is almost indescribable...you care more about them than you do about yourself. You'll do whatever you can to make them happy....in affect that probably makes you happy too...unless it ends up in death of course. It's too complicated to fully explain in a forum post...

The effects of it in men sound more like me.

Quote:
"Infected men have lower IQs, achieve a lower level of education and have shorter attention spans. They are also more likely to break rules and take risks, be more independent, more anti-social, suspicious, jealous and morose, and are deemed less attractive to women," Boulter wrote.


Higher testosterone levels?
