Results from the fMRI-based study showed that when a person falls in love, there are 12 areas of the brain working together to release a cocktail of chemicals that closely mimic the use of cocaine.

Your specific desirability rank would have been generated by two figures: whether other desirable people contacted you, and whether other desirable people responded when you contacted them.
If you contacted a much less desirable person, their desirability score would rise; if they contacted you and you replied, then your score would fall. The team had to analyze both first messages and first replies, because, well, men usually make the first move. But people do not seem universally locked into them—and they can occasionally find success escaping from theirs. Her advice: People should note those extremely low reply rates and send out more greetings.
