Document Summary
Chapter is not in the text, borrowed from another book. Here are some things that we learned about. Proximity, familiarity, similarity and convenience are influential in relationship formations. Similarity - opposites do not always attract. Convenience - if it is convenient you are more likely to enter it and avoid depleting cognitive resources. People usually come to a middle ground. Based of self perception and feedback from others. People put on their best mages when meeting new people. We marry to have romantic passionate love, but this does not last. When we enter a relationship the body is not longer at homeostasis, but will taper off. Men want more sex than women, which can result in frustrations. Seems to still be a gender difference in desire. Conflict is inevitable, how we deal with it matters. An important component in the development, not always problematic. Good ways and bad ways to deal with it.
