[2RedBeans Blog] The Love Competition - 谁爱谁多一点?

by Q Zhao
Have you ever loved?  How much have you loved?  Modern science can measure how intense your love is by measuring the chemicals that's produced in your brian when you think of the one you love.  Very moving video.

The Love Competition from Brent Hoff on Vimeo.

Excerpt from Wikipedia about the chemicals that's related to the experience of love:

Studies in neuroscience have involved chemicals that are present in the brain and might be involved when people experience love. These chemicals include: nerve growth factor, testosteroneestrogendopaminenorepinephrineserotoninoxytocin, and vasopressin. Adequate brain levels of testosterone seem important for both human male and female sexual behavior. Dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin are more commonly found during the attraction phase of a relationship. Oxytocin and vasopressin seemed to be more closely linked to long term bonding and relationships characterized by strong attachments.

[2RedBeans Blog] Dating Book Recommendations

by Q Zhao
Over the past 4 years, I have read many books on dating and relationships.  Here I'd like to share a few of my favorite that has benefitted my own life tremendously.   Enjoy!
  1.  "Always Talk to Strangers: 3 Simple Steps to Finding the Love of Your Life"  
  2. Excellent practical dating advice that works!  I have tried practice some of the things described in this book.  It makes you much more comfortable and natural when going on a date.  This book is on: Where to meet your potential date, how to start talking to them and how to leave a great impression. 
  3. The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists
  4.  Sworn by lots of men as the best practical pick up book ever.  Although I do not subscribe to the philosophy behind it, it is a great book to help men who do not know how to effectively approach a woman to start on their game.  I'm recommending this book esp to women, for them to be able to tell genuine interests, v.s. some one who is just playing a game.  
  5. Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus: The Classic Guide to Understanding the Opposite Sex
  6. A great book on understanding how men and women think and act differently.  If you think the book might be too long, take a quick a look at Dr. John Gray's Tedx Talk here.
  7. Essential Manners for Men: What to Do, When to Do It, and Why
  8. Great book detailed basic manners for men.  What to do to leave the impression of a gentleman.  Toilet seat up for down?  :) 
  9. The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love That Lasts
  10. This the the best relationship I have ever read.  I think this is a must read for everyone in order to maintain a ever lasting, loving, and romantic relationship.  This has been translated to over 36 languages, and sold over 5 million copies.  
    "He sends you flowers when you really need is time to talk.  She give you a hug when what you really need is a home-cooked meal.  The problem isn't your love life, it's your love language!"
