What makes us feel happy? There is a chemical cause. Serotonin is our happy hormone. Serotonin is a right brain neurotransmitter, and you can NOT raise your own levels of serotonin. Even though females tend to be more right-brained in nature, men actually have TWICE as much serotonin receptors as women. Serotonin is raised EXTERNALLY. So women need TWICE as much love and affection to experience the same levels of serotonin and dopamine, or happiness, as men.
