Yes, that really is what I think. And, yes, I do know that you cant just make a statement without the evidence to support it. And before you email me to tell me Im talking crap-Ive got evidence. In my opinion, "someone"-a long time ago, obviously- sat down and thought that "love" would be a nice idea, and they probably thought that they could force his/her idea on everyone else. They have of course succeeded. I dont know whether this "someone" was a man or a woman, as it would probably only be a woman who could come up with such a cutesy idea, and also, according to linguists, its only women that talk about feelings- men talk about objects. But it would be typically male to have a mad idea that could never work. I also dont know because I wasnt there when this occurred. So how have you been "in love" if "love" doesnt exist? The answer is , you havent. You just think you have. The first time youre "in love" youre young, so the idea of "love" is appealing. So it doesnt take much to convince you that youre "in love", because you want it. Its a novelty. So as soon as you get into a situation where you could, in theory, be "in love" you go around proclaiming to anyone who'll listen that youre "in love". You dont know that you are, because you have no previous experience of "love" to compare it to. And you can only know whether something actually is something by comparing it to something. And then this "love" just fizzles out-suprise suprise- except for a very few who spend their whole lives thinking theyre "in love". But the second, third, or whatever, time you decide youre "in love" again, you compare it to the first time. But you cant be "in love" again, because you havent been in love once, because it doesnt exist. So you can NEVER be "in love" because you repeatedly compare it to an occaision when you werent really "in love".Thats why the majority of people never realise that theyre not really "in love". Im not saying people dont have any feelings for each other. I think that when you are in a relationship with someone you really like, and get on really well with, that what you feel is an extreme happiness, because you are totally at ease with one another. But it isnt "love". So when the other person decides they dont "love" you anymore, they are actually just realising that they are not as happy as they once were. And the reason it hurts so badly is because you were happy with what you had, and youre not going to have it anymore. And also because yo have so completely convinced yourself that it is "love". Anyway, thats just my opinion. And unlike "someone" a long time ago, I wont try and force my ideas on anyone else. Ill just leave them here for you to either agree with, critcise, or just wonder what Im going on about. But either way, I know it makes sense.
And im not the one blindly believing im in "love"
are you?

When you have children then you will know love.

thats not love thats just responsability from the perent
and need from the kid to have food

bob is a knob

but i love him...

bob, there is love everywhere...its easy to see

hmmm realy?

i see chemical reactions
i dont see love

love is just something made up to make us feel better about our lives

so that we think there is something were there isnt
its just chemicals and the instinkt to pass on our genes

You're confusing the instinct to procreate with an emotional state of well-being bound with the concern of another over one's self, commonly called 'love'.

If you really feel this way, then I can only hope that whatever caused this emotional trauma is something you will be able to overcome soon . It's either that, or you're just really frustrated because you can't get a date and need to rain on everyone else's parade as a result :P .

how wrong

bob has many women

lots of sex here

but love just is a stupid notion

You are yet a child yourself. You do know love... you only love yourself right now. Not that there is anything wrong with that when you are young.

When you live for the well-being of others.. especially your wife and children like BigO said... you will know true love.

You really do not know what you think you do. I love my child more than myself. I would suffer any pain, even death for his sake. You cannot imagine how much love and pleasure I feel when I help him learn new things and see that he is happy. When he turns to me and hugs me and says "I love you daddy", there is nothing better in the whole universe.

I cannot say I am blindly in love either. Love is more respect than emotion. Love is a close relationship based on trust and respect. That other stuff is infatuation. Love is choice you make.... just like happiness.

Give it some time, it will happen to you.

right now... in my honest opinion... love is somewhat of an evil entity...

prime "true" situation: cared for my ex-wife dearly in fact "loved" her with all my heart, if i had the world I would have given it to her, but I gave what i could and even sacrificed alot for her and where did it leave me... with a broken heart... and huge lawyer bills... love = greed = my ex... need i say more...

love, bah, it will kick you in the ass sooner or later... trust me i have stories that would make your head spin... you should here my valentines day stories... the true manifestation of greed right there... not love

If i could add more to my signature below I would but its limited to 255 characters, any way of fixing that? :P

bob wtf are you on about?

words of wisdom from a 15 year old,damm bobert,what do you know about it.

i know what i need to know

*draws picture of a hand*

I love bob too..... :wink:

bob needs to switch to decaf

I look at my girls and I know that love exists. End of story.

Just remember that love and sex have little if anything to do with one another.

Most girl's idea of love is some bullshit romance crap or infatuation. That shit never lasts. It is like buing a new car. At first you are thrilled about it.. then you see and experience the flaws... life happens and sometimes we realize we made a serious mistake.

I don’t know what you have been through that would distort your view as such but you are very sadly mistaken. I would not only give my future wife anything I have in my power to give but would lay down my very life to keep her safe, PERIOD. You are still very young, apparently not only in age but wisdom as well. Sex and love in this day and age are too often synonymous but in fact are so far from the same it’s disgusting. This is just my opinion, but I’m sure there are more than a few that will agree you have a lot to learn about what is truly worth living for. My prayers go out to you with the hope that they will help you deal with whatever demons you have to face. And know that my love of humanity includes you as well.

SEX

Okay, I believe you are both right and wrong. Love exists when it comes to loving your parents or your kids or your brothers and sisters or whatever. But love between a man and a woman does not exist. I have told people the same thing you have been saying ((like how someone just invented the thought of "love")), and actually, even my teacher sort of agrees with me. But that's beside the point. All I'm saying is I agree with you on one point, but disagree on another. I'm just glad I'm not the only one who can see how fAKe this whole "love" thing is. :/

Even though this is a years-old post resurrected by someone who apparently joined just to post to it...

BULLSHIT!

What incredible timing for this to pop back up today of all days.

bit of a bad mood eh!

*group hug*

Defiantly some negative vibes from this one.

Me? Yeah. The boy is moving tomorrow morning, so I'll be single again.

Sorry to hear your going through a tough time Felix. Hope things turn around quickly for you....Ray

well Felix you know what they say , men are like buses , be another by any minute.

I wouldn't like to bump in but I think love really doesn't exist for those who haven't truly found it.

i didn't join JUST to post that. i just found this thread once i joined. pure coincidence. whoopdedo. I'm sorry I was gladd to find out i wasn't the only person who thought this way, because everyone else gets pissed off when i say things like this..
And i wasn't saying anything to offend anyone at all or to start something. I was just saying what i believe and how i feel, which isn't a crime or anything last time i checked.
Once again, Sorry :/

welcome aboard Key-Mon !! have fun
pappy

Yeah...I used to think that, too. I don't want another one.

Thanks pappy. I'll.. try? lol

perhaps you should take the advice in your own sigline.

Direct your comments to /dev/null

Grow up, have kids, and come back and try again.

Props, plaudits and kudos to you P, for stepping up and telling it like it is and should be. Cheers, brother.

Love is the ability to forgive, to have empathy under duress, to act with grace under pressure, to retain good manners while those around display few if any at all, and to accept the bad with the good, believing that the good will always outweigh the bad, for today, tomorrow and in the future.

Love is in the listening for the most part, and in the speaking on the rare occasion.

It is the comfortable silence of shared tragedy, laughter, experience and wisdom, all that came at a cost: the cost of time, patience and acceptance.

Love is understanding that there will be valleys following the peaks, but understanding that the true nature of a great relationship lies in the "average" day to day experience; the routine.

Love is not the difference between the peaks and valleys.

Love is that the average is and will be above the norm of what is acceptable, that it is good and will continue that way for the most part.

What love isn't is blind accpetance and denial. And no, denial ain't no river in Egypt.

Bob,it appears you're pissed at a female & I can understand your frustration,been there many times.The kids though,you're 180 degrees off track lad.My son is the greatest thing that ever happened to me,without reservation. Remember your words & reflect back on them when you have a kid.With all those women,you're bound to get 1 of them pregnant eventually.
