What is Love?

[Cosmo Electrolux]

I mean really, what is love? What does it mean when someone tells you they love you? What does it mean when they tell you they're in love with you?

[CaptainBubba]

I am sorely dissapointed that the first post of this thread didn't say, "Baby don't hurt me, no more" :(

[da blob]

Could this be a serious question ?

[Schimid]

Love is what one creates. It's the only way we know how to describe the sensation of attraction, and the feeling is much different than just being "happy".

When someone says that they love you, it's because you make them feel like that. Better than the best thing in the world, I guess.

What do I know, though :(

EDIT - After re-reading this post, I realize that it reeks of a 7th grade Honor's English class. Forgive me. :(

love is kittens and flowers :frill

it makes you want booty.

Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are.

Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.

I think most people say I love you in the temporary madness stage and in their rush they tend to do silly things like get engaged and married. But as time goes on they realise that they aren't as compatible as they thought they were and it all rips appart. I think that is why divorce rate is so high, people marry because the other person makes them feel good over common interests and future goals.

I think there have been three people who I really loved that made me feel like that quote above, but we were too young in the end and looking back now, I see they couldn't quite give me what I really need.

I think being in love is the most wonderful feeling in the world and after the six months stage that feeling will come and go but the friendship you will have built is what will prove the test of time.

>: Except I've managed to get men that want to commit then they run away when things get tough. If this whole roots thing is true then they are more shallow than I thought!!!

Love is comparing the quality of farts with your partner

[Matt Harty]

Love is the temporary feeling that you'll never get tired of a person because they're everything you ever wanted.

[Cap'n Crunch]

Love is that special feeling inside when you and your gal share a milkshake at the local 50s style resturant down the street. :eek

[Big McLargehuge]

Love is mutual co-dependance and a desire to succesfully procreate.

Love is a mututally benificial parasitic relationship.

[Anonymous]

Love is liking a person so much, I'd have 'em shot.

Ditto.

so far, this is the best explanation I've seen.

I don't think I've ever been in love....I just don't know how it supposed to feel.

[da blob]

loving someone puts him on top of your priority list - like, before your own life. It's no fun, it's dead serious, it's dangerous.

[SMN]

Love isnt real. Its only an asinine emotional distraction which leads to sex. It messes you up for good, and you'll be lucky ever to get it together again. Look what it did to me.

[Mr. Vagiclean]

JUST LOOK :lol

This man knows what love is about. Just look at him.

[Cosmo Electrolux]

Actually, I've already convinced myself that love is a myth..I just wanted others opinions on the subject.

Love in an elevator, Livin' it up while im goin' DOWN. :eek

I don't believe in love
I never have and I never will
I don't believe in love
It's never worth the pain that you feel

-arent you like 15 or something??

[Cosmo Electrolux]

It's my guess that most of the people that post on this board are far too young to be so cynical.

[da blob]

How can it not be real, yet "mess you up for good" at the same time ? Logic isn't your forte, SMN.

Cosmo - I think some people never get to experience it. I am not sure whether it's a good or a bad thing.

[Rev. Danno]

I've been in love a few times. I've been though all sorts of emotinal hurt, and Phisical pain because of it, but it was all worth it. I would rather live in a world without Gin, cigarettes, and Modern Danish Furniture... then live in a world w/o love.

[Cosmo Electrolux]

seems to me that it could go either way. It can either save you or tear you apart.....

What is love?

[CaptainBubba]

Love is letting someone see you piss on a tree and laughing about it then staring at the stars 5 mintues later while the waves crash down.

Seriously. I bet you cynical 16 year old cunts from hell think getting high and drunk is merely a fabrication of society to channel their Id through means of supposedly unintentional biologically motivated loss of inhibition. No, you just get drunk. Its real. You have to do it before it can be explained. Things like that do exist.

If you have to be depressing about it then consider it a bond between two people. Its the strongest one. Thats about as detailed as you can get since love varies between peoples.

Love is watching Jack Klugman.

[Schimid]

I really like the line from Captain Corelli's Mandolin that was posted.

I also like CaptainBubba's response because that actually happened to me, except we laid on a slide in a playground and looked up at the stars. :(

[Anonymous]

Yeah. It was magic.

[Cosmo Electrolux]

I hope that I can experience that feeling someday. :(

[Ri0tGrRrl]

love is a mixture of lust and codependency that ppl get so they can feel less guilty about fucking all the time.

[ProfessorCool]

Love is free ride when your already late.

[Jeanette X]

Depends. Are we talking about romantic love, platonic love, divine love, or what?

I don't know if it is love, but I'll be damned if it isn't one hell of a lust. (http://www.i-mockery.net/viewtopic.php?t=11268)

I won't get into a theological debate, so we'll stick to romantic love.

you may be right...seems to me that people waste so much time looking for love, that everything else just passes them by.

[Dole]

Sometimes you dont go looking for love, it just comes up and smacks you in the chops.

Erm.....you don't really hear people who are in love complaining about it or its value in the great scheme of things.

[Cosmo Electrolux]

I guess not.

[da blob]

I could argue.

[Dole]

go on then

[da blob]

No. I'm not really into exhibitionism.

[Cosmo Electrolux]

no, really....argue.

[da blob]

Fuck you. It hurts.

[Dole]

[da blob]

I could argue about that, too.

I'm talking about love, not getting it up the ass from infected truck drivers in truck stop restrooms...Goddamn, man...have Big Joe wear a rubber next time.

LOVE IS NEVER HAVING TO SAY YOUR SORRY

[ziggytrix]

ugh, that makes me think of these godawful creepy "Love Is..." comics that have been running in the Dallas Morning News...

the woman who draws these has this thing about drawing her cartoons to look like Precious Moments figurines, only naked, but with no anatomy.
