Was Robert Palmer right after all -- are we all just addicted to love? Reducing romantic attraction to percolating brain chemicals is just so...humorless, don't you think? My brother just reported to me he had the best Valentine's Day ever, because he's single and was hanging out with a bunch of other single people: no pressure, no roses and chocolate, just a good time. He also said he read that "scientists have proven" that after four years in a monogamous relationship the chemical triggers between you that create an endorphin rush fade away completely, thus "after that it's all willpower." Uh, OK -- that must explain why our parents have been married for 30 years? Hmmmm, on second thought... ;-P

And speaking of deflating the myths of romance, check out this righteous diatribe on men's poor choices in V-Day lingerie -- guess what, fellas, Victoria's real secret is that nobody looks like those models with the fake boobs except those models, no matter what kind of bra you buy your sweetie. Having just kicked a ten-year underwire habit myself and embraced the old-school look (and skyrocketing comfort level), I have to agree.
