LONDON - It sounds like a cliché, especially appropriate for teenagers, but actually happens, more often and without distinction of any kind: at the beginning of a love affair you lose some of the best friends.
STUDY - The claims Research led by Robin Dunbar, head of the Institute of Cognitive and Evolutionary Anthropology at Oxford University, to account for the impact of a love story to debut on the relationships with family and friends: on average, compared with a new love lose two friends. The basis of the study was a questionnaire that involved 428 women and 112 men, 363 of them were experiencing a new relationship. Each was expressed in its park-friends before and after the entry into the life of the new partners and researchers have recognized the cost of love, and concluded that on average each of us can count on five dear friend in life. But at the beginning of a relationship there is a farewell to two of the closest confidants, generally offset by a newcomer, the lover / a.
REASONS - Among the cases, the reduced availability of time and energy, but also a change of heart that leads to a gradual deterioration of some reports, as explained by Dunbar in the British Science Festival. Dunbar said he was amazed at the balance of love, but in reality it is one of those clichés very true, even in their banality. The resources and time are not infinite and in choosing humans tend to prefer the one you love. Less likely to lose the two important or perhaps more or less tolerant of the less welcome the current loving partner.
is also likely that in the stories teenage friends killed the causes of love are more than two: the strength of a feeling unknown, the desire to live a romantic relationship and the desire for exclusivity ends up relegating the friendship on the edge of daily life and emotional. But who is far from over two friendly relationship is out of media. It is also possible that something is wrong.
