Yeah, yeah. So typically, 59% of these relationships are starting online now. 59%. It's eaten the world. So that's how it's happening. But still, between 15% and 20% of relationships that end in marriage start at work. So these are kind of in person. You know, these are not media. You're probably not falling in love with somebody on the Zoom screen.

It's still when you're going to a place and you meet somebody and you're both available or... ideally you're both available because most affairs actually start at work too. We can actually talk about why that happens chemically. So, okay. So the way that it starts is the ignition of relationships, of romantic relationships is it has to do, it's hormonal.

And so it's testosterone and estrogen and you know, the sex hormones are the ignition of attraction, basic attraction. And so we're uncomfortable with that because that, you know, what does that mean? That seems sort of unseemly. No, that's natural. That's biology. I see you and I'm attracted to you. Yeah, you're attracted to another person, right?

Now, if that's all it is, then you're going to end up in relationships that people regret, that are not healthy, et cetera, et cetera. Generally speaking, when you're attracted to each other and get to know each other a little bit, then the second stage happens really, really quickly, just within days ordinarily, that involves two different neuromodulators, which is dopamine and norepinephrine.

Those are two neuromodulators that govern euphoria when you see somebody and anticipation. Okay. Anticipation, euphoria. Everybody who's listening to us, watching us right now has fallen in love, almost everybody. And it's like, can't wait, can't wait, can't wait. It's like, I just got it. The text just came in. You know, I think that's that person.

Yeah, yeah, norepinephrine. Not epinephrine, norepinephrine, which is related, of course. It's all from the adrenal glands. It's highly related.

Yeah, yeah, norepinephrine. Not epinephrine, norepinephrine, which is related, of course. It's all from the adrenal glands. It's highly related.

Yeah, yeah, norepinephrine. Not epinephrine, norepinephrine, which is related, of course. It's all from the adrenal glands. It's highly related.

Oh, yeah, oh, yeah. So that's gas. Yeah, that's gas. And what that's doing is it's taking you then to step three, which ordinarily will start happening a couple of weeks in once you're dating and know each other. Then what happens is this crazy thing. where you implicate another neuromodulator, but it doesn't increase, it plummets.
