There's so much definition about love.. can you tell me what's love ?? :confused:

Well, I do not think that anyone is sure about that, I would say love is what you find it to be. Surely this is not an explanation, but I do not think there is a more accurate answer. It may be affection, attraction, sacrifice... or all of it.

It depends on the type of love you are discussing. Love of family, of country, of wife, children, friends etc... etc...

That's like trying to describe the ocean by a drop of water... :p

Love is never havin' to say yer sorry! :D

Really, though? Hmm . . .

I would say that love is a unity of two souls. Yeah, that's love in a nutshell.

Love a.k.a Succumbing to woman's every demand for sex every once in a while.

That definition doesn't apply after you get married...because then sex isn't involved in the equation at all.

It's a label that people give to varying personal tolerances and forms of deep
affection and interest. I like 'TheMatrixIsReal' definition; however, his
implication is that 'love' is biological euphoria, when it is simply a moving
subjective target.

For a spin on the matter, I suggest to see "The English patient". There is an interesting argument about love and its attributes.

love is overrated

why is this in the cesspool??

Ahhh maybe because its stupid and gay?
Just a stab in the dark :rolleyes:

Love is an emotion.
Sometimes love is like a roller coaster. It has it's up's and down's.

"Love, friendship, respect, admiration are the emotional response of one man to the virtues of another, the spiritual payment given in exchange for the personal, selfish pleasure which one man derives from the virtues of another man's character. Only a brute or an alturist would claim that the appreciation of another person's virtues is an act of selflessness, that as far as one's own selfish interest and pleasure are concerned, it makes no difference whether one deals with a genius or a fool, whether one meets a hero or a thug, whether one marries an ideal woman or a slut." *Ayn Rand.

Funny though that "ideal" woman that you meet may just turn out to be a slut.

Like I said it has it's ups and downs.

Godless.

generally speaking love is the product of one who thinks in love

love is the greatest joy and worst pain all in one

This thread landing in the Cesspool is indicative of something ...

Love should be a decision. That's my two cents.

Love is wonderful, but the urge to shit beats everything.

And having a partner to stick it in.

Hahaha, you totally beat me to the punch.

I could give you the fluff, dictionary definition of love or my technical, scientific definition of love. Since this is a science forum, I'll give you the latter.

Photons of the visible wavelength of the electromagnetic spectrum are emitted by the "loved" person or their picture; they enter your eye via the pupil, and are focused by your cornea onto your retina. Millions of photoreceptors on the surface of your retina translate the light into electrical signals that are sent via the optic nerve to the visual cortex of your brain for processing. Your brain interprets the image and determines that the "loved" person is one in which you should be rewarded for looking at, because millions of years of evolution have determined social attachment in the form of monogamous relationships are the best way to ensure the survival of our species. So your brain rewards you by releasing a cocktail of endogenous drugs called neurotransmitters, with names like oxytocin, dopamine, endorphins; the latter of which is a type of opioid, a class of drugs that include morphine and heroine. So, what is love? Love is a self induced euphoria brought on by chemical reactions in your brain to reward you for forming a relationship in hope of coercing you into procreating and continuing the existence of the human race.
That's all great TMIR, but what about the love between two friends, or the love between parents and kids? ;)

That's such a "profound" statement.... :rolleyes: :D

LOVE IS WHEN YOU LEAVE THE POTTY SEAT UP! LOVE IS WHEN U FUCK EACH OTHER 24 hours 7 days a week. Love is when YOU EAT FOOD OUT OF EACH OTHERS MOUTH LIKE OLD PEOPLE SORTA EMMMM YUMMY.

People in sciforums are sooo profound.... :rolleyes: :D

love is a tingle all over, love is a high, love is an addiction, love is a drug.

If you don't have much self-esteem... then yeah... absolutely. However, if you have high self-esteem, love will be just fun, not a drug. The key here is that the person with low self-esteem depends on the exterior world in order to be emotionally satisfied, while the high self-esteem one satisfy him/herself. Of course, there's always a point of balance. Everyone needs intimacy to a certain degree and if they don't have that intimacy they become isolated.

Love is offering up your life for a stranger's life. That's what love is.

That's good. Really good. Even unexpected..... :eek:

If you don't have much self-esteemlove is a drug, is a metaphor, not to be taken literally.
it has nothing to do with self-esteem.
this the nearest I could think off to tingle all over, shaking all over a song by eddie kidd and the pirates 1960
love is like oxygen( you get to much and you get too high) a song by the sweet 1972
love is a drug a song by roxy music 1978
addicted to love a song by robert palmer 1988
so are my feelings regarding love, so wrong.

Ok.... but addiction is not a real characteristic of true love...

Love is trust. You trust that the other person will be open to you and that you can be open with them. The more love you have the less guarded you are.

"Well... I see love as a freedom of self-expression. When I love someone, I want to be totally free to express myself, so that I can be my real self. That's what I think love is, the total and undivided expression of oneself. Like an extension of yourself. As if you weren't just here, but also there. Have you guys ever heard of things such as "you will always live in my heart"? Well... that's what I'm talking about. It is not just sexual, not even emotional. It is limitless in width and depth. A limitless expression of oneself. Of course sex should be the greatest and wholest expression of oneself. But without sex, it is still love. "

love --->see above

Love is trust. You trust that the other person will be open to you and that you can be open with them. The more love you have the less guarded you are.
and the wider open you are, the more you get in.
