I love my mom

And I'm not infatuated or horny around her

Protoclown · #27

That's great. Romantic love is still a giant crock of shit, born out of desperation and a fear of facing this fucked up horrible world alone. It's high time we all throw away our crutches, grow some balls, punch the world square in the jaw, knee it in the groin, and pay for the occasional meaningless dirty sex when hormones demand. Because that, my friends, is what life is all about.

wreckreation · #28

you don't need sex. sex is a scam anyways. it's all media hype. you can do your own thing and enjoy your own life free from any crutches like faget relationships and sexual dependence. hell relationships these days are all co-dependent and everyone who wants one pretty much wants an unhealthy one so they have a reason to not feel content with the world.

WAIT A MINUTE GENTLEMEN! I have an excellent proposition, lets all chip in 100 bucks so we can get noob on blind date!

excellent point wreck.

sadie · #30

i'm thinking maybe you didn't do something right, wreck.

wreckreation · #31

you would. but you'd be wrong.

sadie · #32

wreck, prove it. :P

and noob, i understand your dilemma. i know several people who have met and ended up in a satisfying real-life union with people they first met online. so i wouldn't go so far as to say all internet relationships are bad, per se.
but long-distance "love" of any kind has always been difficult. when i was 16 and 17, my "true love" lived in texas, way far away from my virginia home. he came to my town to stay with his grandparents during the summers, and the rest of the time, i spent countless hours aching over him. of course, we didn't have a non-costly way to keep in touch as you do.
regardless, proceed with caution.

IM me on AIM and i'd be glad to.
love was made up by the troubadours and sex is reinforced by the media.

My parents claimed to be in love, and got married.

As far back as I can remember, they've done nothing but fight. Things escalated to the point that my mom needed a root canal because my dad hit her face into the headboard of their bed.

So is that love?

sadie · #35

wreck, which troubadors? the ones that predate the greek philosophers?

and jamesman, your parents' is an unhealthy relationship, to say the least. that they fight doesn't mean they don't love each other, and it certainly isn't a sign of love itself to me.

LegoLars · #36

by hurting someone, how can you possibly love the very same?

James · #37

Yeah. So if that's what the delusion of love leads to, I'm glad that God's shit on me so many times. He's saving me.

sadie · #38

yes, lars. sometimes, the ones we love the most are the very same ones we hurt the most.

i don't know the details, jamesman, so i'm hesitant to comment very much on your parents' situation. but love doesn't necessarily end up that way.

MrAdventure · #39

The concept of love has been ruined by people with poor vocabularies, and the concept of true love has been ruined by people that are desperate to believe they're involved in something so special and invincible.

MUTUAL COMPLACENCE.

GET IN THE WHOLE LOVE VERSUS INFATUATION BASKET.

wah

wreckreation · #40

booyaw. you guys get it.

sadie: still haven't IM'd me.

DAMN STRAIGHT, mradventure.

and wreck, patience is a virtue. :P

James · #42

Well look at you, Sadie. You thought you were in love, right? And what happened there?

Love is just a delusion we fill out minds with, to make us believe that we won't float through life like meaningless lumps of crap, alone until the way our flesh rots from out bones.

sadie · #43

"in love" and "love" are two separate things to me. being in love is feeling the butterflies and shit. love itself is not as much about emotion as it is commitment.

and i still love my ex. i care about his well-being. but i could no longer make the decision to be with him.

Helm · #44

MrAdventure made a very good post concerning the topic at hand. Thanks.

As to love, being in love, or just horny, I have come to the conclusion that one could fall in love with a personality, but so far I have yet to find a personality in a woman that fascinated me so. Though I have found some men, but so far I feel content of picking their brains instead of fucking them. Thus, lust remains the main driving force of all the rationalised feelings of 'love' we experience. We overuse a word that has a very loose meaning, and we do it because -as MrAdventure said- it makes us feel better, special.

FS · #45

Love is wrong because it distracts from the purity of life's pain? wtf?

I think I could live a pretty much happy life even if I never found someone I'm really in love with. If I would, however, I bet it would make my life a lot more fun. And I'm always looking to make my life more fun.

James · #46

Well if you're looking to make your life more fun through delusions, you might as well get high instead. At least weed is real.

noob3 · #47

The high caused by weed isn't real, it's made up! Just like love!

Oh, and PS: I've decided to attempt to move on from the internet girl person, or atleast try. She's unhealthy. And upsetting.

"occasional meaningless dirty sex"

Does 'occasional meaningless' also mean 'never'?

FS · #49

I believe all emotions to be, at least partially, based on chemical reactions in the brain. To that end, having fun because of love for me is not so different from having fun because of drugs. However, I can still operate heavy machinery while in love. :P

This is probably not what I'd say if I were in love right now, of course.
