    Love
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the complexities of romantic attraction, highlighting two main components: physical attraction and personality attraction. Participants reflect on personal experiences where initial infatuation faded upon discovering deeper personality flaws or physical repulsiveness, leading to the conclusion that superficial love is common. The conversation explores whether one type of attraction is more valuable than the other, with many suggesting that personality often holds greater importance. There is an acknowledgment that while physical attraction is significant, it can be compromised if the personality is compelling. The challenges of online dating are also discussed, emphasizing the potential for misjudgment based on idealized perceptions rather than reality. Ultimately, the consensus suggests that genuine love requires a balance of both physical and emotional connection, and that true love transcends superficiality.

I thought they pumped oxygen into the forums to keep us awake - like they do in the hotel rooms in Las Vegas. Also, I'm pretty sure they put caffeine in the complimentary PF snacks.

Snacks? What snacks? Nobody offered me any snacks! :cry: (You're not just trying to dispose of that furry birthday cake while continuing to test my gullibility, are you?) :rolleyes:

It just never crossed my mind to expect a Newfie greeting ceremony in a Yank forum. If you have Skreech too, I'm there! :biggrin:

Given that i still refuse to believe in love: yes.

Even if i did, i would still say yes though, so i guess that's not really relevant.

No one ever listens to me...

I've experienced "real love". It makes you sick, it makes you vomit, and it makes you want to die. I highly recommend it. :frown:

A couple of bottles of tequila can do the same thing, and it's a lot cheaper.

Agreed. That's just about enough to put you off rabbit stew for life. :eek:

I know that there has to be a witty response to that, but I just can't find it. Sorry. :redface:

That means you've actually ventured out of GD 52 times. The posts in here don't show up on your post count. :-p

52 is only the number of times you have posted "outside" of GD. :-p

I'm not sure that I understand. Do you mean like when I go to GP and answer some kid's question about cars or something? :confused:

No, posts made here in this forum "General Discussion" do not show up as your post number under your name. They are not counted.

You have made around 2,500 posts since you joined at the end of last month. :bugeye: Most of which were in the last two weeks.

Cripes! I thought it seemed like more than 50, but I really don't have much sense of numbers. No bloody wonder I have no fingerprints left. (To be fair, though, at least two or three hundred of those were Lucy.) :redface:

As long as I have your attention on technical matters, though, I have a couple of other questions. I posted a response to the calculator thread. Since I don't know how to make a link, I just typed out the address of a web site. When I looked back at it, it was a link. How'd that happen?

Secondly, is there a simple way to tell me how to put a picture in?

How can you tell?

I really want to know what my real post count is...I'm curious.

Did you get dropped on your head a lot as a kid? :-p "I Am Curious–Yellow" Swedish, 1967.

It was a mainstream release over here, subtitled. If you don't mind your soft semi-porn in B&W, the video's available. :biggrin:

I'm a guy, porn doesn't bother me in the least.

but renting a movie involves so much getting up. Try to remember it the next time I'm around such a venue.
