Do you believe in

To me, the word love doesn't mean shit if you're not backing it up by 99.99999% action.


Actually, make that 100%.

Very true, very true.
Not words to be used or taken lightly and actions speak much louder then the words do.

People are sensitive to the same pheromones for about 4 years, which explain why most divorces occur at year 4 or after. It also explains why men are most attracted to women at ovulation, a fuckload of pheromones are released. Long term love (decade(s)) stems from oxytocin, a completely different hormone. There's no such thing as love, just hormones and sensitivity to those hormones.

In my experience every girl I was attracted to caused the exact same emotions...the magnitude did not really differ, they always felt like 'the one' as Mr. Foxygel has mentioned.

yup a completely different set of brain chemicals (always thought they were endorphins but it probably a comlpex cascade of many reactions) gets activated when its long term. it stops being about attraction/fucking and more about companionship. Explains why swingers feel the need to fuck around yet still love their spouses

Still even with all the science saying this I wouldnt say there is no such thing as love...probably because I'm a sap but also because I'm a firm believer in a soul/inner personality that brain chemistry cannot define. just because your brain uses certain chemicals to communicate with each other it doesnt mean it didnt have to somehow decide to fall in love. Like how electrical impulses down a phone wire dont mean thats the reason someone made a telephone call, there had to be a person on one end who needed to call someone for a specific reason. Neurology yet doesnt know why the brain can determine the reason, just the reigon of the brain responsible for wanting to call.

Good post. I think the word love is just an easy way to describe these chemical reactions. You don't want to start laying all the scientific terms down when you can just say the word love instead.

And it's interesting about the chemicals and how they react for different situations.

I've also heard that men and women were never biologically meant to be together for an extended period of time. Might have something to do with the honeymooning period, after which the attraction has run it's course, and then it's up to the couple to decide if they still at least want that companionship.

how did i know that was coming

i was hoping for "ghosts" or "economic policy reforms for emerging third world nations"

love = most attractive woman you can get, i think if you thought you were in love with some broad, then some hotter broad came along and was all like "we'll have a good future, plus my dad is rich", you'd dump your current broad for this new broad

Wow......that's pretty sad bro.

Obviously you're pretty much unqualified to respond to this thread.

I wouldn't trade my wife for anything in this world. She's my best friend, and so much more.

As for love at first sight.....well now that's an entirely different story. When I first saw my wife, I wanted to knock the back side outta that ass.

Then we spoke, and I wanted to strangle her (way too much alike).

Now she, along with our girls are my very reason for living.

yeah I agree, from a biological standpoint men are underperforming if they only have one partner and so are women. Men and male animals try to keep one mate as its a sure fire way of making sure that his DNA lives on (hence many societies mores being towards the subjugation of women), and women want more partners as they want a wide host of DNA to ensure they have offspring who are varied and wont all get wiped out by one disease etc. explains why the male lion will have a pride but have different females in it and why they (male lions) roam to try and take over other prides, and why female lions dont stop them

but once the offspring are made and reproduction with the one mate becomes fruitless it is pointless for them to be together and live their lives as well as being faithful to one another. So something must have happened to make them decide to fall in love, and I can't think of a biological reason

it takes me forever to fall in love

Do you believe in love at first sight?

Someone asked me this a few months ago I can't seem to get the question or the person that asked the question out of my mind.
