Okay we have a large amount of members....many with bad experiences and many with good experiences with LOVE.
So define it for me. In your own words I want to know what you think love is. |

Quoted:
Love is fake and complete bullshit. Nothing but a chemical response in the brain to get a woman to spread her legs and convince a man to settle down. Never been in real love, huh? Poor guy... Never lost out on "real love", huh? Poor, naive, guy...

I pity those who don't know...I have been married for 20 years...last October we took a honeymoon that we had put off for years while raising our children and trying to make ends meet......while on this 3 day get away......the realization of what our relationship had become hit me. We are no longer 2 people..husband and wife.....we are one, and true companions at the same time. I cannot imagine life without my wife. and yes...I would willingly give my life for her....and she feels the same.
Yes, love is real. |

Quoted:
Love is action. If you always depend on how you "feel" then love is fleeting. If you love someone then show it through selfless service. this...I have resolved, and made a conscious decision, to do this...so far this relationship is going much better than the others

Quoted:
It's a biochemical reaction in the brain that helps your DNA replicate itself into the next generation. meh––spurious statement, since selfish gene theory can be applied to virtually anything. i don't deny that it is neurophysiological, though. an aspect of love is, yes in the back seat of your car, busting your load in your prom date is certainly not love...is it? the shit that keeps my parent's together after 35 years is love, because it is a commitment, not some petty wish |

There are several forms of love that the Greek have defined very well.
Agápe, éros, philía, thélema, and storgē. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_words_for_love |
