Anthropology- the study of humanity. Ever think about it? An anthropologist is interested in the origins of man, evolution theories and the nature vs. nurture debate. Pretty heady stuff. I like to consider myself an anthropologist when I people-watch. (Which, I oh so enjoy.) People are fascinating to watch just as they go about there everyday routine. Why did they choose those UNCOMFORTABLE looking shoes as they WALK to work? How will a person react when confronted by someone asking for help? How will they respond to themselves in the mirror after I deck them out in a couple of well-chosen bridal accessories? That’s all good stuff, if you ask me. But, how about this? Why do we (as a society) choose whom we do, as a romantic partner? Well, Dr. Helen Fisher, PHD is a REAL anthropologist and I follow her work as she conducts studies and writes on her findings. She’s touting a new book called Why Him? Why Her? Finding Real Love by Understanding Your Personality Type. She’s divided us into 4 types and tells us…Hey, if you’re this type, choose this type, NOT that type. Seems so simplistic considering our complicated make-ups. I typically love her work, but I’m not sold. Not at all. Check out this link for the 4 types and see what you think “How to spot your soul mate” . I’m not even certain I’m 100% one of the types. Maybe she’s so smart and accomplished, she just really had to dumb it down for us and these are the ho-hum results? In any case, doesn’t it sound delicious to be an ‘Explorer’?
