Capt. Morgan Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Love sucks. Yup! *slides over a copy of Def Leppard's "Love Bites" and a bottle of whiskey* Humanity has gone week! Yup!

The Doctor Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 If love does indeed suck, that might explain my deep appreciation for love itself... Nice new graphics, Bonnie. Very Freudian.

Very Freudian. May God forgive me, for all I have tonight is gin.... Ah - thank you, Mad Jack - apparently, I need to clarify. Perhaps "love blows goats" would be a more exact expression of my feelings. "Freudian"? Not exactly what I had in mind. In fact, she looks nothing at all like my mother... God is forever more forgiving than man, and infinitely more forgiving than woman. But if you've got gin, please be a darling and share! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonnie Red Weasel Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 It's not so much love lost...more that love is causing my very being to be stretched and twisted and crushed. It's a long story... But anyhow, again, thank you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkyns Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Love twists us all about. Makes us do things we don't want and stops us doing what we want to. The greatest feeling in the world and the worst- both at the same time. 'Ere y'are, Luv-- one bottle o' Pussers. rum for what ails, ye. Hawkyns Cannon add dignity to what otherwise would be merely an ugly brawl I do what I do for my own reasons. I do not require anyone to follow me. I do not require society's approval for my actions or beliefs. if I am to be judged, let me be judged in the pure light of history, not the harsh glare of modern trends.

Patrick Hand Posted December 23, 2005 Author Share Posted December 23, 2005 I have only been in "love" (that heart wrenching kinda thing) one time.... and she turned me down...... dang.... crushed.... I have been in Lust many times, and from that lust, I have grown to (sorta) understand and apriceate different women. I keep thinking about that part in "Fiddler on the Roof" where Tevia ask his wife if she loves him.... she responds with " what, I take care of your house, raised your daugheres.....etc...." but Tevia ask her again...... Given the choice... I think I will stick with lust that grows; instead of a "heartache" kinda falling in love...... (of course I could be totaly wrong about this.....)

blackjohn Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 I have been in Lust many times, and from that lust, I have grown to (sorta) understand and apriceate different women. I'll share a quote with you... The true man wants two things: danger and play. For that reason he wants woman, as the most dangerous plaything.

Caraccioli Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 So...what does your wife think of that, blackjohn? Although you would think tigers would be more popular as pets if that were true. Love - at least as near as my analytical mind can make of it - is really something completely other than the bill of goods we're sold. It's about understanding, companionship, learning and partnership. "You're supposed to be dead!" "Am I not?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Handed Jill Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Yeah - movies in particular are horrible about selling us a bill of goods about love. Some people expect to be in that initial giddy, overly-stimulated, dramatic part of love forever, but that's only the illusory, adolescent phase. It's wonderful, but our psyches aren't designed to be able to maintain that indefinitely, so by its very nature it's meant to be finite. Unfortunately, we're fed the notion that "real" love stays in that illusory state and lots of people miss out on real commitment because they leave as soon as the "honeymoon" part of the relationship is over because they are under a misconception fed to them about what "real" love is. I'm with you on this one, Caraccioli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt Sophia M Eisley Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 I don't completely agree with you on that Jill and Caraccioli. I do see couples out there, some that have been together quite a while, who seem to still have some of that magic that you see new romances experiencing. They either instinctively knew how to connect and keep the magic going, or they learned how to keep that honeymoon phase going via their communication to one another (verbal and nonverbal). They've managed to outdo the biologically induced fireworks (I think that's right) they started out with. With many others though, yep, I'd agree when the phase is over, they're left scratching their heads, wondering what's next, or why they feel so different. Perhaps we'll meet again under better circumstances. ---(---(@ Dead Men...Tell No Tales. Welcome, Foolish Mortals... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caraccioli Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 It may well seem massively cynical of me, but it would seem to me that the people who live that way are very few and far between. (In truth, I don't know of any.) I agree with Jill...one can't function well in a constant state of infatuation. Most successful relationships mature into learning, shared growth, companion- and partnership. To be honest, I think those are the most beautiful aspects of a relationship.

Red-Handed Jill Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 I don't mean there are no fireworks or warm fuzzies after the initial "honeymoon" stage runs its course. The point I made is that some people expect that stage to be the whole relationship and when that phase is over, they figure that the relationship is over and they are always disappointed. If the relationship is healthy, they'll successfully manoeuver through the end of the initial stage and transition to the actual long-term, functioning part of the relationship. Which, if it is love, will contain plenty of fireworks of one sort or another. And sure, the infatuation part is fun, but the good part is when you get past seeing the other person through rose coloured glasses, realise you still love them and get to the real commitment stage.
