Document Summary
A buffer for stress (like social capital in general) Comes from parents - what you see/experience becomes your blueprint. Evolutionary psychology in terms of social relationships. Social relationships play important role in human evolution. If didn"t have these as protective buffers, would not be where we are. Filter theory: have a bunch of candidates and funnel them down until you get to the one. Exchange theory: like a deal, both sides have something to offer. Ex: wealthy, older one who gets with a very attractive partner. On natural drugs when falling in love with someone. Spaghetti equation - they have it all over them and you don"t care because you"re falling in love, then want to attack them when holding the fork wrong later on - know you"re out of love. Tend to last long because just going along, doing own thing, no need to divorce because no conflict.
