Escape from love traps

New research shows that it seems that men have been blessed with the ability to 'cool down' from the charm of their friends' wives.

It seems that men have undergone special biological evolution, helping them to avoid falling into love with the women of their brothers. The results of the University of Missouri's (US) study found that male sex hormones (testosterone) in men were significantly reduced when they interacted with their partner or wife. Of course, this is not always the case. However, scientists argue that understanding the biological mechanism behind preventing each other from competing with beauty can help researchers find out how people work together to live together. community.

Team leader Mark Flinn, professor of anthropology at the University of Missouri, said: 'Although men have many occasions to pursue their lover's affection, the rate of adultery in this form is quite rare on an opportunity basis. . Meanwhile, male testosterone often increases sharply when they approach a potential partner or enemy's wife / girlfriend. As for the close friend's spouse, it seems that their minds have evolved in a way to "keep themselves" in order to maintain a stable friendship, according to a report published in the journal Human Nature.

In terms of evolution, Professor Flinn said that in fact, it has been shown that those who regularly betray their friends' trust and threaten the stability of your family can seriously affect survival for all. community set. A male community without mutual trust will be vulnerable to chipping and creating opportunities for enemies to attack and destroy. The price to pay for action with your wife is too heavy compared to the feeling of momentary euphoria when capturing a relative's woman.

Historically, legends involving adultery behavior with a friend's wife can be found at the Camelot anecdote in England. Accordingly, the knight Lancelot betrayed King Arthur by acting captivating Queen Guinevere. Soon after, the round table knight association was disbanded and the kingdom broke down. The alliance between mighty men cannot be sustained once the trust is lost.

Professor Flinn reassures that his team's new discovery could even help track traces to world peace and cooperation.' On top of that, our findings on testosterone levels in men have shown how humans evolved to form alliances,' Professor Flinn explains. He said that using biological understanding of human nature's foundation, we can find ways to solve global problems.
