Been wanting to write a post on this title. But I guess I will never have the time to do so. Speaking of sociology, I have only read 50 pages of my 800-page Australian-based textbook (which is bought at only RM30! -- very dai2)
Two days ago(*1) I came across this topic on marriage from a sociology reference book, when I should have been studying for Physics.
"we assume that peole choose a partner or mate based on love. But we find that people's choices are guided by other considerations as well: a potential partner's age, height, weight, income, education, race, sex, social class, and religion, among other things. When the conditions are right, we "allow" ourselves to fall in love."

*1 : Actually it's last year when I was still studying A-levels. I drafted this post around that time.

Some of the conditions were not taught. As a result we forgot to make consideration for it.
