Blind in love is not a funny joke. According to many studies, experts believe that blind love is completely grounded, based on scientific premise.

1. Research: Love makes people blind


Love not only makes you blind to your partner's mistakes, but it can also make it difficult to perceive love among others.
A study published in the Journal of Nonverbal Behavior was as follows: Scientists showed 163 college students several clips of 25 couples. Before watching the clip, the students were also asked if they were in love, whether they liked reading romance novels, watching romantic movies or dating shows on TV,...
After watching the video clip, the students were asked to rate how much they thought the man in the clip loved the woman and how much the woman in the clip loved the man.
The results show: Imagine you observe 10 pairs. If you were in love at the time of the study, you would only get 3 - 4 lovers out of 10. And if you are not in love, you can correctly identify 6-7 couples out of 10 in total.

2. Why are people so blind in love?

According to Professor Frank Bernieri (dean of the Department of Psychology - Oregon State University, USA) affirmed: Love is really blind. Those with the longest relationships, the most movies and the most reading of romance novels, had the worst results in knowing if the other person was in love.

Love is blind so it makes it difficult for the person in love to know that other people are also in love. That's because couples in love tend to project some of their own attitudes and notions about love onto others. In addition, they also suggested that certain behaviors such as hugging, making eye contact, or placing hands on knees are signs of a sincere and lasting love (rather than passionate, passionate actions). want ).
For example, some couples in the study clip only knew each other for a short time and did not intend to be together for a long time. However, lovers who see their behavior tend to assume that these couples are madly in love and have been together for a long time.
The scientists also said: The only thing that those who correctly guessed the couples in love had in common was that they were not in love at the time of the study. Meanwhile, those who are in love are too blind in their love to be able to "clear their eyes" like single people.
