Yes, I do believe in true love.
But I do not believe in a single "love of your life" or "soulmate". I believe there is more than one person out there that fits you perfectly.
And dont get me wrong on that "perfectly" thing. All couples have fights. No, and I repeat, no relationship is a dance on thorn-less roses.
That does NOT exist.
In short, I believe there is more than one person for you out there, but I dont believe in a princess fabolous cookie trip type of romance, even with one of these people.

It depends on how cynical I am feeling, although I must say I am surprised at how many people who believe in the evolutionary theory believe in love considering it more or less "proves" it is just natures way of conning us into monogamous relationships (see? too fucking cynical).
I would honestly like to believe it exists, but it hasn't happened yet.

My grandfather met my grandmother when he was 21 and she was 13. He had seven brothers and two sisters and a sick mother, none of which had a job. He worked his ass off to take care of all of them and then knocked up my grandmother, still 13.
He married her and never looked back. They were together until the day he died. None of his siblings had any children and because of my grandfather and his truly real love for my grandmother, the Eastwood family continued on.
If there wasn't true love in the world, we'd all be fucked.

True love is a romantic notion that does not exist outside human imagination. Love is an emotion humans have evolved to feel so that the male will remain with the female long enough to help raise a child, thus ensuring their offspring, and genes, will survive.
So, I do not think there is "one true love' for everyone. Ever notice how most seem to find their "one true love" in the same city they happen to be living in? The odds against that seem impossible.
The whole idea of true love hinges on predestination, which is something that also does not exist outside of the human imagination.

True love doesn't hinge on predestination, true love hinges on faith and trust. You don't have to believe that there's only one person in the world for you, because that's completely impossible. You just have to believe that there's at least one person out there who's worth your devotion and loyalty. And if you don't believe in that, why's life worth living anyway?the antithesis said:
True love between friends and between lovers is the only thing that separates us from the animals.
I believe, yes.
I also believe I have met mine, we have practically everything in common, same likes, dislikes, phobias, music taste, both gamers (\o/)
I think that it's just the perception people have on life, optimists and pessimists, so to speak, that will vote differently.
I think optimists will be more likely to think 'Yeah sure I have a match for me out there'
Whereas pessimists will be more likely to say 'Hell naw, no one is there as a match for me'
Takes some looking, but you can find someone.

I didn't say that I believe evolution is correct and you quote me - missing out the part where I say that - to make it seem like you were right and I was wrong.hoopyfrood said:
I'm not going to turn this into the debate you had about feminism where you just quote people over and over without actually making a real point.
I think people can be in love, but the idea there's only one person for you is a bit of a joke. In a world of nearly 7 billion, how can you possibly think there is only one person out there you will ever love? The start of love is little more than dopamine levels in the brain firing up. It's a chemical reaction. When you become accustomed to the dopamine, what's left is compatibility and whether you actually like the person you're attracted to. Many people find they don't, which is why so many marriages fail. Others do, and good for them. If you're in your teens and think you've found true love...sorry, but your opinion doesn't count. You need to get out of high school and experience the real world with this person you love. When you're living together, struggling to pay the bills...then you'll find out whether it's meant to be. And usually it's not.
