Fake Love

Endocrinologists.

I would call them wizards.

I'm not saying that biology explains it all because there's certainly a socio-psychological aspect, but there's an explanation grounded in reality. None of this true love or destiny crap.

But they don't wear pointy hats.

as i said minutes before, chemicles and brain interaction can only account for initial attraction. The funny feeling you get.. butterflies in stomuch and such

love however.. is generally thought to be more then following your little head.

however, i suppose that is how you view love, and is again a question of opinion

People who wear pointy hats aren't always wizards, so do all wizards wear pointy hats? Requires more study.

Poor Yams, were you recently rejected from Match.com or something?

[Yamaneko]

They told me they had standards to uphold. Thankfully Yahoo! Personals doesn't discriminate.

[Del Murder]

Well Miriel and I are talking about bringing in a third person, if you swing that way. Playing FFXI is a requirement though.

[Araciel]

...Playing FFXI is a requirement though.

You people need to be stopped.

[Yamaneko]

That's disgusting, dude. I wouldn't touch FFXI even if you paid the monthly subscription for me.

[Caraliz]

You could always go with Skt and play WoW.

It may not be magic to those who think more with logic, but that's fine. What gets me is you feel the need to press your opinion so strongly onto us.

There is a topic called "Fake Love". I'm pressing the issue because that is the issue. That and it seems to me there's a misconception in our culture about love very similar to that of a belief in God. There are explanations for these things. Whether or not people choose to ignore the evidence does not change the reality of what's going on in your brain. Accept that and I will be content.

Of course there are explanations for being in love. If you can't explain why you're in love with someone, you're either not in love or you're incapable of expressing yourself properly. But I think your idea of "love" is the rush of GOOD FEELINGS that come along with being with the person you care about. But that feeling alone doesn't make love. It's a byproduct of love, not the cause of love itself. That may help you become drawn to someone, it may account for physical attraction, but it is not love. If you think about the all encompassing idea of what love is, it's much more than just a wave of good feeling.

I agree with that.

I WIN!

I believe love comes from magic butterflies that fly around and flap their wings, making a random eddy of air which just happens to push people into their TRUE MATES just a little bit, giving that first initial unconscious desire.

Then the bluebird of happiness flies by and sings the melody of the lower abdomen, the love center (I think it' sbeen a while since I read up on indian music power!) and unless it's blow off course by a freak global warming thunderstorm, that bluebird of happiness will ensure you are in love with your TRUE MATE forever!

So, NO yams, you do not win!

[Baloki]

that bluebird of happiness will ensure you are in love with your TRUE MATE forever!

That sounds so incredibly furry...

Actually if determinism is correct then love IS fated
