What is love?

[Integra]

To me, it's knowing that regardless what happens, you might fail your exams, lose your job, lose all your money, fall out with your friends and family, it won't matter - because that one person who means everything to you, loves you too, and will help you start again.

Love, isn't it a bunch of chemicals in your brain that makes you act irrashional and horny?

No, seriously: It's when you feel your heartbeats through ten layers of clothing when you are near the significant other.

 

[Rolling Thunder]

Love is where you can watch someone do something cruel, vindictive, repulisve of just plain evil, to anyone, or even to you, and not care.

Love is like death, only slower, and much more painful.

Love is... fuck if I know. I'm eighteen years old, and have such a limited capacity to feel emotions it's frankly laughable. I'm cruel, malevolent and often completely lacking in compassion. I have empathy- I feel your pain, and I like it . Fuck if I know what love is. Still, I've got good poetic skills and a Golden Horde of concepts, ideas, images and words floating on my brain.

Love is two white-hot hot nine-milimetre slugs that punch through all the layers of your armour, and tell you two things. The first bullet hits you, and you're lost, completely, utterly and hopelessly dependant on someone else, and without them you might as well be dead. The second tears through your heart, and you realise: Your in love, and so is she.

Pity the bastard who only gets the first hit.


And as for my song: take it away, Mr Hendrix.

Love is when you would willingly give up your own life so that another might continue to live.

Wait, so the secret service loves the president?
I kid, I kid, I understand what you mean.
Edit: wow Retoru, your gif syncs up perfectly with the freebird solo.

I don't know if it even exists, although I kind of hope it does. I don't like this kind of discussion because it always reminds me I'm a freak with only a bit of the full spectrum of human emotions I've heard of, and I kind of regret that.

Love is very hard to define. I believe that if you love a person it means that you care about that person more than your own life. I have only felt this way once and the person who made me feel this way broke my heart, so that kinda sucked lol.

 

[Aries_Split]

I would define love (at least romantic love between humans) as a bond so close to another human being that is transcends the physical realm. For example, I am so in love with a woman right now, that to be honest, I could care less if I was having sex with her or not. I think the point were your content with simply staring into their eyes is love. I've got a connection SO strong that I don't even need to speak to her. We communicate telepathically. The sex is icing on the cake.

Love is... something that no one can put in words, but everyone knows what it feels like. No one can describe love in mere words, or by putting ink on paper, but if you meet that special someone, and you get that feeling, well, you're in love.

Oh, and Fondant, awesome analogy.

 

[Cheesus333]

If anybody ever finds out what love is, then it would cease to xist, like if anybody found the recipe for immortality. Or, for you idiots out there, a way to stop having periods. In all cases, if we found the cure/elixir/mystery pill, then the thing in question woukd simply stop.

This is the closest anybody's got so far.

bay-bee don't hurt me......

Lolz.

Love is forever, an inescapable emotion that will follow you wherever you go....

 

[Lord_Ascendant]

the fire in the blood that turns normal rational people into gibbering, frothing idiots who want nothing more than to have one particular female. Good thing I can *cough* suppress those urges everyone once in a blue moon.

It's when you find someone willing to put up with your retarded obsession of games!

I'm yet to find such a creature; however I'm a naturally clinical being of pure unadulterated rage! Thus It would be rather hard for a gamer to find such a thing; Well one that isn't half toad with a rat growing from one ear!

In short finding someone you can stand to be around for the rest of your life!

Put on your thinking caps, its time to talk about the bane of so many, the euphoria to even more, and the elusive Holy Grail to all, love. To you, what does it mean to love, to be loved, to be unloved. Two rules: don?t get love confused with lust, and don?t say ?Baby don?t hurt me; don?t hurt me, no more.? Is love pure and perfect, or is it only a brief feeling destined to fade from all lives eventually? Thank you for your posts.

It's an emotion designed to get you into the sack, It is designed to also only last 2-3 years.
There done. That's it. It's not magical or wonderful or pure or special or anything. It's just a part of being human.

Or do you not mean romantic love? Because the truth is there is a whole bunch of different forms of attachment we put under love.
The love you feel for your friends isn't the same as the love that makes you want to bone your girlfriend. And your love for your parents is also diffrent.

In that case, love is a lot of things it's too broad a category and thus undefinable as it's not a single unified thing.

Wow I fell like getting a PEPSI. Damn you Superbowl!

 

[mrnelsby]

never having to say you are sorry

 

[The_Chief]

i dont get the whole science thing but love (to me atleast) is the feeling of extreme happiness for the whole time ur near someone and when ur away u feel like everything just when down the toilet. and just being with someone makes you the happiest uve ever been

True love is one of those things I believe in, not because I can find anything logical about it but because I need to believe in it even though I pretty much know it's just chemicals in my brain and that it will only last for 3 years so there is no ever lasting love. But still I believe in it but I do not believe that I will ever experience it...

And just becuase I love quotes:

This is love. When someone drags you from the wreckage when you have given in, ready to just lie there and die. This is love. When someone, no matter what the cost, shows you there is hope, a choice, that you can put down your gun. This is love. Love hurts.
