well, 'twas only a question of time before somebody posted the above quote. It would appear that large amounts of chocolate is the answer to your question.

Damn you dod!
That was my quote, grrr!

But very true, chocolate, lots of good chocolate, even gives the feeling sick after effect which hits you at the end of love. Its the complete virtual love experiance.

Seriously, love is a maddness. One which you can enjoy. It is the source of all human kindness and many of its evils. Its the cradle of artistic inspiration, the soul of music, the colours in art. It stops time, makes long distances shorter, sleep easier, its what we look for crossing out nightmare plains in our sleep and it is the one thing you can never really lose. It has many faces, family, friends and lovers.

I'll stop now,

It can also be like getting kicked repeatedly in the teeth for a solid month afterwards.

And yet somehow, it's still worth it. Madness, indeed.

but seriously... love isn't maddness ... its clarity... thats why it feels good... not the cradle of artistic inspiration.. its more like the muse... time does not become shorter ... it disapears altogether ...because it is irrelevent ... you do not sleep .. you dream... whichs aids clarity come morning ... you treasure it ... because it is something you can lose... very easily.

Failing that just get wasted with a group of people every Saturday night and you will eventually love them!

Awwww.......Some of the replies here are great....

And yes 50 Mars bars will lead you to a belly ache and one awesome sugar high I am sure.

Agrees with Tman

Good Luck!!

It will hit you when you least expect it. And when it does you will know it. You stomach will do flops and you heart leaps and your head will feel as if it is swimming....... It will find you!

at the risk of sounding INCREADIBLY CHEESY im going to use a quote from the matrix

"no one can tell you your in love you just know you are b@lls to bone"

imo the above is true. its just a feeling that cant be described by words alone it makes it all worth while the good times and the bad,

love is a little bit like air.....its no big deal till your not getting any

andrew163

Love is an addictive biochemical imbalance.

Chocolate. About a kilo a week and you'll be right as rain.

love doesn't exist. It's just hyped up lust. So if you're refering to hyped up lust then love is just a feeling of want, and once you get something that feeling goes. That's why getting married sucks. It's just not natural and benefits the woman a hell of a lot more than the man.


Like it's been said, "love" is just a chemical reaction in your body.

Myg

Depends, you mean finding someone you can love or someone you are in love with?

I disagree. Love doesn't have anything to do with lust. You're confusing the two. Love is mutual respect, trust, understanding and empathy, amongst other things, it's not wanting to have sex, although that's surely an added bonus in some cases.

And so what if love is "just" a chemical reaction? So is life, but I don't see you just giving up and dying in a corner somewhere.

AL][EN

I'd agree with sarky on this one there's a difference between lust and love as sarky has already pointed out

But then again your definition of love/lust will depend on if your currently in a relationship or not, when your single its mostly lust your after when your in a relationship is mostly love you want from your partner (with a little bit of lust thrown in for good measure)

The_Goose

love is waking up and all you can think is gettin to that other person,
its gettin excited(no sexually) when you see them or someone says there name!
its been happy almost all the time, the greatest feeling ever!
i was with someone i love for 5 months and it was the best time of my life!!!!! no worries no pain no anxiety nothin just happy juat cloud 9!

haha yeah good one guys. "love". Love messes up a guys chances with girl. Hot bítches don't go out looking for "love" - they go out for a good time. So basically you're putting all your hope in an ideal which is absolutely and obviously fabricated by man because it makes you "happy"? Be happy in yourself you losers. So while I'm out banging girls you would never even get a look from, keep searching for love...see who's happier

i dont believe in love, i never have, i think thats its a nice story but, i dont believe in it. so im not putting my hope in an ideal, i was just curious as to whether anyone else shared my view, the only view of love i've ever seen is the "love is" comic strip, with the 2 babies, that was 'love' & me fa-der loves me ma!

And this is why you'll die alone.

What if your wife who's let herself go, spent all your money, constantly bítched at you, divorced you, and never let you see your kids dies before you? You'll be dieing alone...GASP.




Define dieing alone for me, will you? If your whole reason for believing in love is that you are afraid of dieing alone, then you're in worse shape than I previously thought...

Sarky

Will I die alone? Possibly. Hell, scratch that, probably.

Will I die lonely? No.

Yeah you've just disporved your second last post thus making it irrelevant

Sarky

Fine. In that case, I think you'll die lonely.

Are you trying to tell us that you never experienced love? It seems odd, then, that my last relationship lasted over two and a half years without any sex entering the equation, don't you think?

I've believed I was in love in the past. Heck I was in and out of "love" a million times after I got my first kiss and until I was about 17...when I started to wise up. Some people seem to be just naturally unhappy with themselves and seem to NEED a girlfriend to feel "loved"...this isn't a healthy way of going about things.


Go see the Matrix Revolutions and listen to what agent smith says about love - my sentiments EXACTLY

TacT

Obviously you've never been in love or loved utility and you're telling us to watch a film and expect it to have all the answers.

It was only a film, it's time to come back to reality now, where love is a daily feature in a lot of people's lives that does something for each person in a different way.

You cannot define love, it affects different people in different ways and if you've never loved then you don't know what your talking about because love just hasn't found you yet but when it does, maybe your terrible attitude will change and so will your views on a lot of things, such as the ones you've layed out in this thread.

For the record, your talking through your arse, I know plenty of beautiful women that go out looking for more than a quick shag on a friday/saturday night...
I personally reckon these people who just want a quickie are in fact simply trying to make up for the lack of love in their lives by getting as much sex as possible in the hope it may give them a taste of what is to come should they start to take another person more seriously than a quick bit of relief or a good shag.

Love is throwing your McDonalds milkshake at someone elses car on the dual carriageway to let them know you are there :rolleyes:

I believe in love!!

I've lusted after many women in my life .... but after the lust there is nothing!!

This is going to sound like 1 of those love is quotes .... but to me, being in love is being able to be in someone's company & feel completely at ease with yourself and them .... it's being able to walk hand in hand down a busy street but being completely detatched from all that is going on .... it's being able to sit in a silent room with the person & just sit!!

That all probably makes no sense to any1 else

Sarky

It makes perfect sense.

that is the most sensible thing to be said on this thread in a long time!

So in your eyes being in love is really just being comfortable with a girl? That sucks...



And "Tact" I'm not basing any of my theory on the film, but when I was watching it and agent smith went off on his tangent about love, I was like "yeaaaah". Ofc he was doing this to put over his bad guy attitude which just shows you how totally up in the clouds the majority of the population of the western world is.



We do not know how the world got here. Some people claim that "God" created us, which most intelligent people that I've talked to will disagree with. It's blind faith, and it makes no sense. There's no PROOF. We're just a mass of atoms - look around the room you're in now - the chair you're sitting on is made of atoms too. Can your chair fall in love? Nope... So what is the difference between the chair and you? Simple: you have a brain large enough to create things out of nothing, and to imagine things. So man has tricked itself into believing in love, in a vein attempt to make himself believe that there is some sort of meaning behind this life, basically going back into caveman shít. "Why does it rain?" "Cause a God is making it rain." "Lets please the Gods!" etc.. Why do I feel attracted to this woman? Cause you're in LOVE etc..



A lot of people here seem to inadvertingly back up my theory, as they all seem to equate being in love AND being loved to being happy. I've been told I'll die alone, because I don't believe in love which basically proves that point. Chances are if everyone "in love" in this thread gets married that over 50% of them will end up divorced and unhappy.

carbonkid

love is that feeling when that someone is holding you and for that while every thing else comes unimportant and nothing will move you(this can come a problem when your dieing to go for a piss)
when you secertly like their bad hsbits...miss them when there gone
when their body smell(yes im talking about sweat here) is better than any after shave or perfum
you want to envole this person in everything you do...you feel without them your life would turn to ****

the bitch is love is rarly forever

I think you've taken me up wrong .... it's not about being comfortable being with someone .... if that is what I meant, then that would mean that I'm in love with all of my girl-friends [friends wha are girls] whom I'm comfortable being around!!

I'm probably way off beam here, but utility_, it sounds like you were in love once, but have become cynical because of the pain of break up!!

The thing about love is that no matter what any1 says love is, the cynics will always explain it away as something else .... for instance - if I was to say that love is not being able to function without the other person .... the cynics will say that it is over-dependance on the need for another person [i.e. I'm a needy person]!!

Personally, I'd hate the thought of having gone through life without feeling the love of another person .... hey I'm a hopeless romantic

Yes you are way off beam there. This Is something I came to realise myself, not through someone breaking up with me, but on an analysis on my former relationships and on other people's that I knew.

hey I'm a hopeless romantic

hey you're also a tool to the billion dollar "love" industry.

OR...maybe you'll realise that you don't need to "fall madly in love" to be happy just because society fills you full of shít about this fabricated fantasy of falling in love with someone and then growing old with them.

OR...maybe you'll get married to the girl/boy you "love" and after 1 or 2 years begin to realise that this fantasy isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Bicky

Love is a concept which cannot be explained to someone who has not been in its favour (or someone who pretends they have, such as our oh so very ****ing annoying friend utility)
Its not an age thing other than the fact that the older you are the more chances you will have had to experience it.

Love is.... being happy!!

The Corinthian

While utility_ could well be accused of being an embittered cynic, there are many hapless romantics in this thread that are markedly more clueless than he can be accused of being. For some that love exists seems to be so important to them that any attempt to debunk its existence is met with derision.

Calling a spade a spade, love is most likely a combination of familiarity, obsession and hormones; an evolutionary illusion designed to help propagate the species and briefly make us happy. A little white lie, if you will.

And why not? After all, if it makes people happy to believe that it exists - especially those who hope to find it some day - does it really matter if it does exist or not?

Grim

This thread has lost all love... people... I urge you to... find Love!
