Why does love make you so blind?

I'm sure alot of you know what I mean. Once you fall out of love and you're able to step back and say, why didn't I see how horrible or how irritating that person was before?

Why is being in love so powerful? Why do we all crave it so badly that we ignore traits that we would otherwise turn our noses up at? Are we all just trying to justify to ourselves that we didn't make a stupid choice by falling in love?

Have any of you experienced this?

PoyeBoy, good for you. You're lucky. :)

never fallen out of love

It's a very long fall my dear Poye, with many complicated surprises. Somewhat reminiscent of running backwards naked though a corn field when drunk, you feel quite daring and somewhat scared but something unexplainable about it turns you on sexually enough to keep running. My advice - keep the big mustache your have in your avatar. If all else fails you will at least still have that to hold onto.
 
Because without blind love, we'd never propagate the species. The people who didn't succumb to this bullshit never got the chance to pass their (obviously more enlightened) genes along. Mother Nature weeded them out.
 
My guess is it's a chemical thing in the brain. Kind of like being addicted to a drug...your mind and body get used to it, and eventually crave it.

I'm a firm beliver in rapid detox -- sleeping with a lot of random people. ;)

I have never been there. Only girl I ever felt that way about, returned the sentiment but I fucked it up. I still think very highly of her and regret what I did all the time. I'm dumb.
 
I think that when you care about someone deeply, you decide to ignore all their bad traits. You even ignore why a relationship wouldn't work out between the two of you. You tell yourself there is a chance and that the person is just great, and everything will be hunky dory. Then life bitch slaps you. Sometimes, it's for the better. Sometimes, it's for the worse. And then sometimes, it only makes your love stronger. You hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.

Maybe you know their faults...and how they are treating you...but you belive or hope in your heart that they will change.

Bfold and I share similar views.

I stick to some relationships even though things bother me a lot because I have this inner belief that if I love them enough, they will change. The far majority of the times, this is not the case and I grow ever pessimistic.
 
What my parents taught me about love:

When I was young, I would often look at my mom and dads relationship and think: Uggh, how dull. I naively compared it to adolecent love, with its erratic pitches of hope,and heartbreak. As a teen, the feelings seemed very real to me in a way that my parents' love did'nt. I confused intensity with genuineness. Genuineness takes time.

Mature love picks up where romantic love leaves off, and while very different, it's also in many ways.. better. Yes, the suns sets, taking it's flames with it, but the moon,more magical, rises. Romantic love delights in novelty,while mature love is consistency.

My parents are no longer beautiful, but they are cleary beautiful to one another.

I pray be the zig to my hubbies zag for as long as my mom and dad. They have been married 52 years!

Does she know that you love her or is this on the stalker-tip.

You know, Amy Fisher-style.

Naw, I have a group that helps me out every thursday at 7:00pm for those problems dog

We introduce ourselves by saying "Hello my name is Poyeboy and Im a fecalphiliac"

Wait, maybe thats my monday class, or my wednesday class. I dont know, Hmm, well any way, I go and thats what counts
 
I think a lot of people fall in love, or even fall really hard for someone, because they need someone to fill that void in their life. In other words, they need to feel needed or wanted.

I think it's a bit naive to stay in a relationship because you want the other person to change or you think they will do that for you. A lot of people think that "If they love me, then they will change for me." NO...a person has to change on their own terms.

To answer your question, PP, I think love it blind because it is such an intense emotion, and it causes you to get emotionally attached...even when you don't want to or aren't trying to. It's blind because it is...and you never realize it, until it's too late.

Love made me blind. Or maybe it was the syphilus. tee hee.


Hey dip shit, if you are going to talk about having syphilis at least spell it right. Or maybe you really don't have syphilis and you are just bragging. Next thing I can expect to hear out of you is how you don't have anal warts now either and that lasers guns really do exist.

allright, allright, you busted me cold. I don't have syphilis. I was just trying to fit in. But I do have ass warts if it means anything.

Damn, looks like there might be an anal wart epidemic on EF. I now think of you as the monkey in outbreak. congratulations.

Fortunately I've learned not to stay with someone in hopes that they will change, since I know what that's like when someone tries to get you to change. I'm talking more about when you love somone so much that you accept their glaringly large faults or accept behavior from them that you wouldn't put up with from anyone else. We've all seen this happen before to other people or even ourselves.

My point is that it's scary how this single emotion can be so powerful that it drives you to ignore the bad and the ugly in whoever you are in love with or in some cases even drive some people insane wanting to off themselves or off other people. (And no, not me, I never wanted to off myself or off other people...lol..) ;)

Vixenbabe, that was a real nice post. :)
 
I don't think it is that love is blind at all. I think it has more to do with how we honestly feel about ourselves when the relationship occurs.

If there is one valuable lesson that I have learned about love it is this: it is easy to SAY that you love someone and it is easy to THINK that you are in love with someone. But what is REAL LOVE? I think it comes down to one thing:

When some one truly loves you they will offer you that which is most precious to them. Not because you asked for it, but because they gladly yield it to you. If you decide to reciprocate = you are both truly in love.

Think about this.

Vbabe - I most humbly concurr with your post and I can honestly say that I am somewhat jealous of both you and your folks.. not in a negative kind of way, but in a very respectful kind of way. :)
 
Love never made anyone go blind during the course of my romantic relationships, it was normally the gouging of the eyes with my thumb that handled that.

Sometimes I feel deep regret for how I've worked my love life, but then I look at my jar of pickled eyeballs and somehow feel really, really good about myself.

MY simple point is that you love THEM so much you hope that one day they will start treating you BETTER than they DO currently. I have dated women whom I could accept everything about them except for how badly they treated me and how little that they respected OUR relationship.

Those are things you shouldn't have to accept in any relationship. Although, I'm a good one to talk. I've let guys run all over me before. :o
