As Zozma stated love does not truly exist. It is just a perceived fantasy of a feeble human mind seeking acceptance from others.

this means I do not be leave in "love at first sight", but more lust at first sight

You say that as if you have read a biography on me. All I know is that people use "love" to get what the want from you: friends, parents, siblings. It's all the same in my book.

Ouch. That doesn't sound like any form of love I've heard of. Love is not a method of procurement from others as you have said. If someone forces you to do something because "if you love me you'll do x", then that is not love. Love is altruistic. It should not require anyone to do things for it. Conditional love then does not exist, only unconditional love. If love is not unconditional, it is not love.

Well until I find this unconditional love I cannot believe in it's existence can I?
Until such a day all I can say is that there is no such thing as a relationship without ulterior motives.

Ever seen your brain? Does it exist?
To tell everyone that any unconditional love they have both given and received is false takes a metric asston of proof. To have met someone who has experienced or caused such emotion and action is sufficient proof in its existence. It isn't required that you yourself directly observe or participate in unconditional love for it to exist.

@the ph33rbot:
Rock on. I can cope with you saying that you don't believe in the existence of love. I hope someday that you do find love though, and I don't necessarily mean recieving it. To be the one giving the love is an awesome role to be in. To truly care for someone without needing/wanting anything in return from is truly amazing.

Funny thing is I have seen my brain before. Through a mirror of course(brain surgery for those of you who are slow on the upkeep).
I am sorry on the regards that I have never seen true love, or someone who has caused this emotion(except on t.v. dramas which is well drama). My life is no where near sheltered, it is simply that I have never seen anything happen without a motive behind it.
Even my best friend is only going out with his girlfriend for his own benefit. And yes I believe happiness to be a benefit from a relationship. My parents are married so that they have the financial benefits, not out of love.
I will believe it when I see it. Missouri blood talking right there.
EDIT: @Akwikone, yes my day has been on the wrong foot actually.

A fellow Show-Me brother, eh?
While I agree that happiness is a potential benefit in a relationship (along with security, validation, various forms of affection), that does not mean that it is always a motivator. Just because x causes y doesn't mean that y is the end goal. x (which in our case is love) can be the means and the end.

You know that one scene in Fight Club, where Tyler is in the bath and Jack is holding a towel to his bleeding face, and Tyler says something like, "do we really need another woman?" That scene made me think, "If I always attract manipulative cunts and nut jobs, it must be something I'm doing. The only common denominator in all my failed relationships is me."
So I'm not looking for love, thinking about love, or allowing myself to get attached to anyone. I'm focusing on ME; I can't fix another person, but I can fix myself. Maybe if I improve myself enough, I'll attract women I like.
Love, for me, is finding someone whose flaws I can tolerate and who can tolerate mine.
DP, I'm curious, what do you think beauty is? A perfectly proportioned form? Something broken and rebuilt into something stronger? I'm talking abstracts here.

To change I would have to lie to myself until I believed it. I may be better off but still I would (at least feel) like I deceiving myself.
I may be cynical, but at least I am true to myself which seems sad.

the fact that DP has not experienced unconditional love says nothing about its existence or non-existence
you are smart enough to know this DP
I hope you find unconditional love in your lifetime DP, and that you are smart enough to open up your shell for it to develop into something nice
like philsov said, if you close yourself off, you'll never find it for obvious reasons, but don't think for a second that your experience necessarily = everyone else's

well anyway, to answer... not necessarily either one. more like going back on my initial statement of "there is no such thing as love" , after listening to everyones comments, and explaining that its not really something specific but i can't argue that it exists in the form of a combination of other feelings which can even include a few negative ones that get outweighed.

People have a ton of misconceptions on what the Bible says, so why shouldn't they have misconceptions on hell?
Most pre-round earth religions at some point equated hell (tartarus, gahenna, etc.) was below the flat earth and heaven was above. Zozma is just stuck in that era.

I'm pretty sure Zozma was just making a joke and he was trying to make it funny, therefore he didn't think it through.
I've made the mistake of combining the two. What makes that worse is the closest religion I am too, doesn't believe in hell or The devil.

One could argue religion is merely man's attempt to justify and give importance/ meaning to his actions or beliefs? Granted i believe complete atheists are being a bit arrogant. To say that there is no source for all things in a wold where every other act of creation require energy and mass means something, no matter how far back or far forward in time it is or was came into being without requirements and is as such the basic identity of a "God" something that was not created from anything else, yet impacts the universe and creates within it, directly or indirectly. But i digress.
TLDR, Organized religion is man maknig God. True god is most likely beyond human comprehension. Atheists worship no god like believers worship god and OH GOD PHILOSOPHIC DETOUR!

I don't understand the claim that "love" doesn't exist. I can understand claiming that one does not feel it, but to claim that it's totally nonexistent seems a bit much.
When the term is being used correctly, it's definitely describing an extant emotional/physical state. Being an emotion, I don't think that requiring it to be outwardly quantifiable or universally applicable is fair, exactly.
To me, it seems identical to someone claiming not to believe in anger, because they've never been angry. If someone made this claim, it would appear to be utterly ridiculous (granted, anger is a more simple emotion, so the comparison may not be perfect).
Even if it's an "illusion" or self-delusion, it exists as soon as it's believed and felt. No other emotion seems to be held to this standard of scrutiny for existence.
tl;dr BABY DON'T HURT ME

In the relative world of humaninty and human perception, feeling is everything, so i suppose ant is correct. On a relative scale felt = exists, illusion or not.

@ Ant; you are correct
the chemicals responsible for the feeling humans feel when they are in "love" is very real indeed
love does exist, just as much as anger, depression, and the rest
[X definition of perfect platonic love] might not exist, though, and is another question altogether
