About Attraction Laboratory

Our mission

Most relationship content online is either generic advice copied from a hundred other blogs, or paid pitches dressed up as wisdom. Attraction Laboratory exists for one reason: to translate what decades of social psychology, attachment research and communication studies actually say into pieces a normal person can read on their phone in five minutes — and put to use the same evening.

We write about the small, observable signals that reveal what someone really feels: how people text when they're losing interest, the body-language cues that betray real attraction, the questions that quietly tell you whether a relationship has long-term potential.

Who we are

Attraction Laboratory is an independent publication run by a small editorial team based in Colombia, publishing in ten languages. Our editor-in-chief, Alejandro Castellanos Lizarazo, founded the project after years of frustration with the dating-advice industry: too much certainty, too little evidence, almost no humility.

We are not therapists or coaches, and we don't pretend to be. We're writers and researchers who care about getting the underlying facts right — and about saying clearly when the science doesn't actually settle a question.

Why you can trust what we publish

• Sources first.Every claim that goes beyond common sense is grounded in peer-reviewed research, established psychological frameworks (attachment theory, the Gottman Institute's relationship work, Mehrabian on nonverbal signals, etc.) or transparent observation.
• No paid placements, ever.We don't accept sponsorship from dating apps, coaches or course-sellers. Our only revenue comes from non-intrusive display advertising, which is why you'll see ads on the site but never an "influencer" endorsement.
• Plain language.If a finding is contested or only applies in narrow conditions, we say so. We'd rather lose a click than oversell a study.
• Editable, correctable. If you spot a factual error, email us. We update articles publicly and add a short note at the bottom when we do.

Editorial standards

Our writers and editors are human, working from Colombia. Each article is drafted against a list of cited sources, reviewed by a second editor for accuracy and tone, and given a final pass to remove anything that sounds clever but isn't actually supported. We use AI to translate our pieces into the nine additional languages we publish in, and for light copy editing — but every claim you read is researched and verified by a person, not generated by a model. If we ever get something wrong, we want to hear it from you and fix it in public.
