How Real Is Her Love?

I love you. Three powerful words. They change lives. Are they real? Unlikely. Men and women blithely utter these three words as easily as politicians promise tax cuts. Do they mean it? Odds are, no. The test below will tell you for sure. continue

For women I find that “I love you” means I love your money/power. For men it means “I’m horny.” As a bonus, they get someone to cook their meals and do their laundry.

That my friend is love between men and women in a nutshell....except I'd add for women it is "I love you for the money, life and things you give to ME"....

No, Silly. That’s your choice. Live like you’d want to be loved, and I’ll bet they’ll be falling all over you, and if they’re not, well, you’ll still be ahead of the game and shame on them.

“There’s no way to predict which marriages will last.”

That’s why it’s better to ensure that they all last by disallowing divorce except under the most extraordinary circumstances.

People talking about “love” here seem to be referring to the sort of attraction that is three-quarters lust, which flickers and goes out in six months or a year.

There’s a better kind, but you have to stay married for ten or twenty years to get there.

And no, shacking up won’t get it.

BANG!! RIGHT ON TARGET!
Listen to this, there is wisdom in experience.

A beautiful and heartfelt post on a bizarre thread!

Robert sounds like he was my kind of man. Especially, after reading the part after the hospice workers left :-D

Love isn’t so much an emotion as it is an action.

I enjoyed this article, thanks for posting. I hope that it encourages a good discussion on this thread.....

A beautiful and heartfelt post on a bizarre thread!

Judith Ann is beautiful and heartfelt.

I am bizarre.

[RogerFGay]

You make perfect sense but I’m not sure the other guy isn’t making any. Seems like at least that obligation and veracity stuff requires some character.

[Pistolshot]

Defeatist.

There is someone out there for you. Just as crazy, stupid, smart, idiotic, intelligent and warped as you are.

[Judith Anne]

;-D

[Cyber Liberty]

I used to think that...

Coming up on our eighth

[Lazamataz]

It will never happen for me.

I will die alone.

In a cave.

Without a person around me.

Or even an animal.

Or an insect.

Penniless.

Sad.

[Judith Anne]

Rocky ground, inside of you. Some souls shouldn’t be messed with, only walled in, protected, and occasionally watered with tears.

That would be you.

[HungarianGypsy]

A book I read called, “Five Love Languages” said that the “in love” feeling lasts about two years. After that you work on it as actual love.

Rocky ground, inside of you. Some souls shouldn’t be messed with, only walled in, protected, and occasionally watered with tears. That would be you.

I came into this world, wanting to be loved, and wanting to give love.

Being denied such things for so long has destroyed me.

Now I am too far gone.

“Rocky ground, inside of you. Some souls shouldn’t be messed with, only walled in, protected, and occasionally watered with tears.”

I agree, and that sentence makes a ton of sense to me. I might even consider making that my new tag.....

[Cyber Liberty]

If that's what you want, then you'll probably get it, and is it 100% bad to get what you want? Be the ol' lovable Laz, and things will look up, you'll see.

Be patient, that's the hardest part. Sort of like we are, with you.

[PjhCPA]

That was very special.

[real saxophonist]

I forgot about my kids.

Yep, sounds like love to me. (Sorry, just had to mess with you) 8~)

[Lazamataz]

The soil of a man's heart is stonier, Louis....
