People don't fall in love any more. It's a quaint expression that has its roots in the fifties and the generations that fed it. The easy availability of sex makes love impossible. Love depends upon challenge and heartache and disappointment. Everything's too fast paced now.
The only real 'bad boys' are either counting cocaine money in their basement, or rotting in a jail cell. These guys couldn't care less about "love." All these R&B stars who claim to be bad boys are just wimps at heart. Besides, kidder's right: "Love" was just a 50s fad.
If you can discern between sex and love, love is not dead. To say that love requires a challenge is like saying that love and hate are the same thing: only Sixth Form art students do it, and they need to be kicked shitless and then laid. The shit thing is though, the bad boy image does have a kind of primal appeal. Assholes are always better fucks than nice guys, and because they always dump you first you miss them more. Sad but true.
You're absolutely right. A teenager knows passion and they think it is love. Love is different, but until you experience it you can't explain it. It takes some maturity to separate love from passion, but once you fall in love the first time (as distinct from having a passionate obsession with someone), you will never be the same. So much to gain, so much to lose. It changes everything. When your are a few years older, and you look back, then you think 'now I know, but not then'. Mark
Dude, Im 21. And obviously, I'm just talking about casual stuff. Sex with someone you really love and who love's you is always going to be better than anything kinky or over-crowded, but in the absence of a person like that the next best thing is someone who just fucks like an animal. Self-doubt isn't particularly sexy in those situations.
