Heartbreakers: Dessa Explores the Science of Love and Pair-Bonding

Could our genes affect our romantic choices? Does love inhabit a particular region of the brain? If this song makes us too sad to drive straight, why are we playing it on repeat?
Rapper and essayist Dessa hosts "Heartbreakers" - a four-event collision of art, music and scientific research on love, sex and human adventures in pair-bonding.
She begins with an exploration of how research on voles might reveal a genetic basis for monogamy in humans, and how booze affects it. Featuring behavioral neuroscientist Allison Anacker, house musician Jon Bernstein and special guest, singer-songwriter jeremy messersmith.

In my personal opinion at 35 years old. I have found several women partners that after hearing this message I knew intuitively they cannot pair bond. No matter how good you are to them and matter how kind and sweet you are. I feel like some women who have a very sexually promiscuous past are really never satisfied. They typically have too many other partners to compare you to and they also just do not know how to be in a every day loving relationship. They are used to the casual encounters in the chaos that comes from that. It feels like some women get a rise out of being with somebody new or going back to an ex. I do not think they can be truly satisfied with just one person for a long time. They might try to convince themselves they will but I feel like the more promiscuous they were in their past the harder it is for them to actually have a long-term relationship that requires sacrifice. I think a lot of men can relate to my experience. Women are always comparing you to others in different ways rather than just sexual satisfaction.
