I could have sworn that I saw a video about this. It might have been a Ted Talk? I can't find the link. Can anyone else?

#42What i don't get-why did something like this remains hidden from the general public for 20 years ? Why didn't the study authors worked on popularizing this ?
It was a published study. In academia, that is the goal, and the goal was met.
Do you really mean to ask why didn't the study authors monetize this? If so, you are looking at academia through startup-tinted lenses.

That isn't what I'm thinking of :/. I recall people actually up on a stage staring into each others eyes, and the talk being about that phenomena.

Everyone is okay earning more money.

#47In a psychology class I took, we applied this procedure as an in-class exercise, pairing up and asking each other the questions. It works well.

#48I thought this was great and recommend the article. Click through to the list of questions - http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/11/fashion/no-37-big-wedding-... There's no harm in trying it. At worst you'll get to know someone. I'd have no qualms working through this set with at least a dozen people I can think of off-hand (some of whom aren't available anyway, it doesn't matter, or where we flirt anyway.) The questions…
As for doing this with a person of the same gender, i think we most likely know the answer - it won't lead to falling in love. Why ? because if it did, we would have seen many female best friends(who do similar stuff all the time), or or males that are found in even more bonding situations(like war) - who don't fall in love.
Though they may not "fall in love", they may still love each other. If love is only of the romantic flavor, than most of what it can be is missing IMO.

It's not about monetizing this. But people who know about this, don't they think it could really help lots of people ? and if so aren't they, especially in the fields of psychology, motivated by such things ? Because popularizing this might be the most valuable thing they could do in their professional lives.
