    Love
Click For 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 think that they neglect to mention it deliberately. Some kind of hazing ritual to see if we can cut it... (I don't know whether I passed for persistence or flunked for gullibility.) :confused:

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:

franznietzsche said:
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:
