    What you feel as 'love' is nothing more than a series of complex chemical reactions taking place deep in your brain. Is that real?

    I believe. But not in the Disney version. Love is a choice, and a verb. Most people don't realize this.

    It's silly to discount love altogether just because you maybe had some bad luck with romantic love. I've never lost a child, but I'm not going to doubt the grief of someone who has just because I've never been in their shoes. Besides, romantic love may get all the attention from the media, but there is still friendship love and parental love, and spiritual love.

    I am a man, and my wife has lived with me for 21 years without complaining more than a couple times a day. We even have sex. I'd say that's pretty good evidence love is real.

    In order to have love, you have to give love. If you don't believe in it, you'll never have it.

    Yes, chemical reactions are definitely real.

    It`s not so much that it is unreal, as it is romanticized. And, I don`t know about you, but I think romanticizing love is a bit overkill for my style. :biggrin:

    I think love is the most real thing there is.


    Love, from whom the world begun,
    Hath the secret of the sun.

    Love can tell, and love alone,
    Whence the million stars were strewn,
    Why each atom knows its own,
    How, in spite of woe and death,
    Gay is life, and sweet is breath:


    (an excerpt from My Delight and Thy Delight by Robert Seymour Bridges)

    I think romanticism is a substitute for love.

    So theres no one that you love?
    Thats what you people are saying.
    We would be nothing without love and feelings.

    this is bunch of BS by people who are mainly dissatisfied/disappointed with their love life/partners. of course love exists. it may not always be everlasting and all that crap, but it's out there everywhere. don't set unreal standards for love, and you won't get unreal love in return.

    i'm not dissatisfied with mine

    just after countless failed relationships

    rationality on my part has concluded that

    it's too tiring - 'being in love' all over again (with all the bells and whistles)

    rather i've found a replacement for the replacement for the replacement (?)

    of a person i feel is good enough for me and vise-versa.

    i was a romantic - but rather than love in my opinion it is a simple case of compatibility

    caressed with the appropriateness of natures calling.

    "honey... i think i'm 'in compatibility' with you" :love:
