In Response to “Crazy Love” by Steven Pinker

As I read this article I found myself agreeing with every sentence produced in this article. He reveals valid points about why love even exists if the natural reason for mates is to simply just reproduce. Why do people become so crazy about another person? Some people may become morose, obsessive, and even violent, but why? In today’s world people change the way they think and they live to cater to be with someone else. They write corny poems and listen to ridiculous songs that try to express they way they feel towards someone else. The author also asks was romantic love created? We know that mankind hasn’t always been involved with romantic love. It has been introduced through playwrights or Hollywood scriptwriters or Hallmark-card poets. He also brings up that most people match with people with similar looks, style, intellect, and way of life. I find this to be very true. In my own life experiences I see many couples that fit this mold.
