1. She would not want to have sex with me for no reason, as I am not exceptionally appealing and she could find someone who is, so I would walk away because she probably has an ulterior motive.

2. She would not be in a position to love me since she does not know me, so I would walk away because she probably has an ulterior motive.

You ever get tired of being right for the wrong reasons?

Can we just pool our resources and buy Aestu a really expensive call-girl?

Aestu, how can you know what love is, or is not, if you've never even been in a situation where such a thing could happen to you?

I would say the fact that I am detached from others gives me a clearer perspective on them.

Analogy: Do you think an American, an Israeli, or a Palestinian has the clearest perspective of who is right or wrong in the conflict?

Do you think love is a myth? A false emotion?

No.

Do your parents (if they are still together) love each other? Do they love you or your sibling?

My parents are still together. They fight constantly but stay together because at some level they give each other what they need. My father loves me, but he is very awkward, aloof and histrionic, amongst other things, so I have no real relationship with him - it's impossible to hold a conversation. My mother is usually the one I talk to and she is "more interested in making the case she cares about me than caring about me."

Lesson of this thread: When the ego becomes bloated, it usurps the functions of the superego and id.

the lesson of this thread is that more men need to invest in my lifestyle of Tornadoism.

1. touch down.
2. destroy.
3. dissipate.

No, Eturnal, I haven't. But you proved my point. You see it as negative that I have not even though it does not truly matter, and if "love" were the actual goal, not having dated would be no disgrace. Hence people are eager to find "love" to fulfill the expectation.

You're assuming I think less of you for not being in a relationship or being in love so I didn't really prove any point - as if you had a real point to prove. Where my negative opinion of you is on this matter is you're offering opinions on relationships and expecting to be taken seriously when you have had near zero experience with relationships; personal, intimate, family or any other. You think you're capable of speaking on love because of two reasons: 1) Books and 2) Observations of others' external behavior and characteristics. I feel the fatal flaw in your assessments is you haven't experienced the positives and negatives of love... those internal feelings that you can't understand unless you feel them yourself.

I wouldn't trust what a completely blind man tells me he sees with his eyes and I wouldn't believe what a completely deaf man tells me he hears with his ears... unless they told me they saw and heard nothing. You, on the other hand, are both deaf and blind to love yet you seem to have all the answers. I just don't buy it but you keep preaching your good word; I'm sure someone around here would take you seriously.

My father is blind and he could tell you a lot about sight.

1) After once experiencing sight I'm sure he could tell me how precious it is and to not take it for granted.

2) A completely blind person can't see with his eyes; if your father is completely blind, neither can he.

sight and hearing are objective. "love" is subjective, therefore open to interpretation. ethan can use whatever influences he chooses to describe it.

Aestu · **Posted:** Tue Aug 17, 2010 6:08 pm

Ok, seriously, I see your point, but I'm sure you see mine as well. And I doubt sex will be a life-changing experience any more than it is for anyone else.

Yuratuhl · **Posted:** Tue Aug 17, 2010 6:27 pm

I imagine the kind of love this thread is trying to address is in terms of romantic relationships rather than standard types like parental/brotherly.

I'm a little curious regarding what made Zaryi ask this question.

Something Ethan said in another thread. I'll dig up the quote when I get off my phone and on to a real computer, but the question/thought stuck with me and I got curious.

Edit: it was something he said about marriage and commitment, about how relationships aren't built on love, but compatibility. Isn't love compatibility in an extremely fundamental sense?

And yes, I asked this with romantic love in mind, moreso than platonic or fraternal.

Aestu · **Posted:** Tue Aug 17, 2010 7:01 pm

People fall in love with people they aren't compatible with all the time.
