how many of you believe in love and love at first sight?

[Heretolearn]

how many of you believe in

a) love?


b) love at first sight?

How do you define each.

Me I believe b is more pure and natural if it were to occur but am not sure about either. We are so clingy as humans that we could just invent a word to explain our attachment

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

I believe in chemically, spontaneous sexual desire at first site.

I believe in ONEitis at first site.


Love at first site? You've been watching too many romantic comedies again.

So you guys don't love your family?

I don't, but I have my reasons.

Yes, but it only happened one time....the first time I looked in a mirror. :woo:

Yes, but that came after I had hot monkey sex with the woman who would later become my wife.

And for the record, I love my birth family too, but it took a lot of time.

Love is the combined effect of the recognition of a multitude of things that you most highly value, in another person. Is it possible? Absolutely. Do most people experience it? I doubt it. Most people don't even know what they value, they would have a lot of trouble recognizing it in someone else. I would guess that a lot of people here have been conditioned to think that anything beyond hooking up with a girl, as quickly as possible, is a waste of time and done out of delusion (this doesn't apply to everyone who's just looking for physical gratification). Those are the people who will look back on their lives 30 years from now with a feeling of empty despair. To be in love is to look at someone knowing that you don't have to look down at them in any respect. I never understood how anyone could be so insecure as to want someone else to look down on, for the rush of power they experience.

Love at first sight? That's a stretch. I do think that you could experience a sense of a person's character and values depending if they portray them well through physical appearance. For example, you can usually recognize whether someone is confident by the way they physically interact with their environment. Someone's who has very conservative beliefs might dress in a very conservative way. But to love someone, you have to get to know them in ways that you can't just observe from a quick glance.

I love my mom, I love my sister, I love my family.

Do I believe in love? I dont even know what love is outside family love

Do I believe in love at first site? NO

Will I feel love to a girl the same way I do to my family? NO

I think its all in the case as to whos been their for you the most.

 

[BobFuest]

sure why not? got to dream a little. I have loved a lot but never found one that worked out. :woo:

God, some of you guys are so cynical. Bet you're a real drag to hang out with.

I don't believe in love at first sight, just attraction, but I do believe in love. Dunno what the problem is with that. Being in love and being loved rules!

A: Yes & no, if you ask me, I'd say that Love does not exist. All it is to me is lust transended to a higher level. Also, it with modern feminimity in society, does love really exist in its purest and simplist form anymore? If one of the parties doesn't return the feeling, it is LUST, however, if both parties have feelings for each other, I'd say its LOVE then!

B: No but I do believe in lust and ONEitis at first sight? Yes, in a way. However believes in love at first sight needs a serious wake - up call!

Another thing that is very much possible to occur at first sight is having the unusually strong desire to give the girl a freaking slapper in the lips. I'm talking from experince there, happened last weekend, I met this girl, who friends with another girl I knew and lets just say, the chemistry was well... unusally high between us. in fact, I freaking FELT it! Too bad I didn't act on it!

Just the facts Jack, Men work on figuring sh!t out and putting a logical answer to something, nothing "cynical" about that its called being a man (check it out), the non tangible grey area that you like to dwell on is for chicks/faggots and children.

Dont take that the wrong way either, just stating a fact. Thats you and thats your reality, if that is how you understand things then good for you, but dont down play or put a negative spin on men who dont/cant see it like you.

A fact according to who exactly? Bill the potbellied trucker or Tom the hairy lumberjack?

Some of the most admired male figures in history were romantics, including some of the greatest seducers on record.

 

[oakraiderz2]

I thought 'love at first sight' was merely eye contact sustatained to the point where youre brain releases the chemicals it does when youre in love...

What are you talking about? I'm talking about the FACT that alot of your posts come across as you being a "romantic" as you call it, what you portray yourself as. You with me?

 

[diplomatic_lies]

I'm in love with my computer right now. It's lasted me 5 years. I built it over the years with bits and pieces I picked out of the trash or peoples lawns. In fact, we're celebrating our 5th anniversary in a few weeks.

A) I assume that you're talking about love for a LTR partner. I don't know. I've never loved an individual in that way who wasn't related to me.

I love my parents. If I had children I'd love them too. These things, of course, are biological. Usually something very bad, serious, and significant needs to happen for that to fail. I suppose I love my aunts, uncles, and cousins, though not to the degree that I love my parents.

B) No such thing. There's only lust at first sight. In many cases this can become one-itis. If lady luck is in your favor, the one-itis will also feel the same way about you (but don't count on it).

Of course I, and I would hope everyone else here, would not let this sort of thing happen.

One-itis is generally not a good thing. It can result in something good, but then again buying a lottery ticket can result in something good.
