What is Love?

[Sinful Tyrant]

love is shooting your target in the kneecap 40 yards away using an aratech sniper rifle with a trilight scope. Sry i couldn't get the exact HK-47 definition

I'm a teenager, how should I know?

what is love

Baby don't hurt me
Don't hurt me
No more.

Love is just another way of being hurt by someone else.

Now, I suppose you are thinking I am quoting the song. No.

Damn!

I've never really loved anyone, so much as loved the idea of loving someone. Fact is I'm too private to get close to someone and resist intimate relation ships instinctively. That being said it's not something I can't get over.

Now, I suppose you are thinking I am quoting the song. No.

Now with internet memes cleared of our minds, let us think for a second, why do our emotions controle us? Why can't we controle them?

I control them. Stoicism is fantastic when it comes to that.

Please stop trying to put a definition on love. No matter what you say of it it will never give an accurate description of it in its entirety.

My experience of love is a fortunate one; it has little attachment, the core of the suffering involved in relationships. Love is simply a course of action that you can choose to make. It needn't be any more complex than that.

Love is a lot like porn. You can't define it explicitly, but you know it when you see it.

Love is the feeling you realize you have when what caused it is leaving you.

 

[Chase Yojimbo]

So far, i am believing that love doesn't exist. Though that may be just me, since im incompatible with all living things.

... why do our emotions controle us? Why can't we controle them? We are like their bitches at times basicly.

because they are floods of chemicals assaulting our chemical-based brain computer.

escentally... emotions kinda FORCE you to like/wanna do something or feel a certian way...will power is what helps you get over it all

 

[Irony's Acolyte]

(love) Baby don't hurt me. Don't hurt me. No more...

Ahem. Sorry 'bout that.

Well I could type out a somewhat lengthy post detailing what I think love is. But I'm not. Because I already have. So I'll just quote myself for my convenience and clip it for yours.

You may meet somebody who you find yourself attracted to. Perhaps you see each other several more times and find that a bond is begining to form. You'll start to really like them and them you. Love may start to grow between the two of you as you find things out about them that causes your attraction to grow. Intimacy will form and not long after, loyalty. As the two of you begin to experience life not as individuals, but as a couple you will soon be unable to live happily without them. Then on your deathbed you will realize that that person was the one person in your life that you loved the most. And you will be happy.

But there is no True Love, or Love at First Sight. Love is a bond that grows between two people, not something that forms spontaneously or that always existed because that was "your destiny". There may eventually be someone who you love most of all, but its not because that's "the way it's suppose to be". It's because chance threw you together and from that initial contact something beautiful formed. I know that not really all that romantic, but its what I believe.

Yeah that's pretty much what I think love is. Attraction that is grown over a period of time into a bond.

Love is making a shot to the knees of a target 120km away using an aratech sniper rifle with a tri-light scope.

Oh my God, I haven't heard an HK-47 joke for 3 years.

Anyways, love is hormones.

What is love, OP don't hurt me, don't hurt me, for doing the obvious.

 

[Jake the Snake]

OP: What is love?
Me: *laugh so hard I almost cry* Oh man, if you're asking, you're never gonna know. It's a lot like death. You'll experience it sooner or later, but will never really know what its like til you're in it.

...you can be in death...I think...shut up! I needed the analogy to work!

Love is a lot like porn. You can't define it explicitly, but you know it when you see it.

And it leaves you feeling surprisingly ashamed afterwards.

The chemical basis for love has been explored by such biological sciences as evolutionary psychology, evolutionary biology, anthropology and neuroscience. Specific chemical substances such as oxytocin are studied in the context of their roles in producing human experiences and behaviors that are associated with love. From the perspective of evolutionary psychology the experiences and behaviors associated with love can be investigated in terms of how they have been shaped by human evolution.[1] For example, it has been suggested that human language has been selected during evolution as a type of "mating signal" that allows potential mates to judge reproductive fitness.[2] Miller described evolutionary psychology as a starting place for further research: "Cognitive neuroscience could try to localize courtship adaptations in the brain. Most importantly, we need much better observations concerning real-life human courtship, including the measurable aspects of courtship that influence mate choice, the reproductive (or at least sexual) consequences of individual variation in those aspects, and the social-cognitive and emotional mechanisms of falling in love." Since Darwin's time there have been similar speculations about the evolution of human interest in music also as a potential signaling system for attracting and judging the fitness of potential mates.[3] It has been suggested that the human capacity to experience love has been evolved as a signal to potential mates that the partner will be a good parent and be likely to help pass genes to future generations. Evolutionary theory also suggests that love keeps two people together, and this would help raise a child. For example, a man and a woman who love each other would be together and work together to raise a child. Back in the tribal days?when much of human evolution took place?it would probably require two people to successfully raise an offspring, and a mother with a supporting partner would probably have more surviving offspring than a mother who does not have such a partner. Thus, people with the ability to form love would produce more offspring than those without that ability. And these offspring would have the genes for love. Thus, the genes for love would become common, and that is why most people today have the ability to love.

This is the scientific chemical bases for love.
