Love is only a myth to those that don't believe and sometimes opposites do attract, sometimes not so much...

True love is rare, it can exist, BUT, BOTH people have to want and live it. It has to be complete, unconditional, and real. If they both start with respect, honesty, tolerance, acceptance for the whole person, and live it like they mean it, it can happen. It's just that too many are living too fast, always looking for the next, bigger, better one to come along, even if it's kind of subconscious, they're ready to try what's new, maybe more exciting or challenging, see what else there is out there. If they took the time, energy, and commitment to build on something that's good, it can be great, but you have to put your whole heart and life into it, for the long run, and there are so few that can actually have the strength in their heart, mind, and soul to do that.

I think opposites can and do attract, as long as the differences are not extreme. Your differences can compliment the ones in your SO, plus it keeps things interesting, who wants to be exactly like someone else? It's usually partly the likes that attract us initially, but it's the differences that we find funny, quirky, and cute, and seem to draw us to keep getting to know them and be around them.

agreed..and sometimes those things we like in others are the things we are lacking in ourselves, hence: opposites attract.
Sometimes those differences make a relationship more challenging, not always.

Well I feel there is no such thing called love. Other emotions exists like affection, attraction etc. Love is basically attraction, once the attraction is the over, love vanishes. So I think love is nothing but just mere attraction.

Opposites might attract initially... u may feel freshness & something new when u meet someone who's behavior or lifestyle is different from yours. but in the long run opposite nature creates a lot of problems and requires lot of adjustments and high ability to accept opposite nature / perspective / behavior.

Yes theres love, but it may be temporary.




Sure, opposites can attract, but not always.

There is lust.

There is love.

Opposites attract but longevity is rare.

Opposites can attract, it depends on the individuals whether they can make it work. As for the existence of love, that's a no-brainer; there's a difference in love and lust, and most people seem to mistake one for the other, therefore their relationships turn to crap once the "honeymooon" is over.

Oh for the love of....
Why the hell are there so many ppl on a dating site...
That's soul purpose is to bring ppl and hearts together..
So effing negative about love?

I mean seriously..
Yes opposite attract.
Yes, though you may not define it the same, care about it, disregard it, slander it, patronize it, hate it, want to destroy it.. but YES love exists.

If it didn't; then tell me what makes you hate it so much?

Was it because, at one point or time in your life you HAD it or FELT like you had it, and lost it, so NOW because of that it doesn't exist?

That's hypocritical and sad.

Ii'm tired of hearing all this effing degradation of 'love' in all its various forms. Yeah, I know it can be hard to believe in, i know its nearly impossible to accept the concept of finding it again after its lost; but that doesn't change the fact its out there.

If you truly, honest to God (or w/e you believe in) didn't think by any way, means, or chance you will ever find it again; then why are you here? To ruin it for any and everyone who wants and hopes and believes it still exists and they will find it one day?

If you hate love so much; then you should hate the idea of this and every other dating site. For the (Insert a variety of profanities and end it with an exclamation point.)

If this is what you truly believe...

Turn off your computer. Sit in your effing bed. Don't eat, don't sleep, don't turn on the tv, don't listen to the radio, don't stare out the window, in fact don't even open your eyes. Just lay there and wait for death to come for you.. because that is what you deserve because, after all, isn't that what you really want? If not to be loved then to be what? Forgotten?

People who aren't loved by some soul somewhere in some manner.. that's what they become. Absolutely one percent.. forgotten.

Go join a satanic cult where they only talk about the evil that love is.. Not an effing date site that revolves around it. My God people.. honestly.

I am a believer in the theory that if you go looking for love, you will never find it. I don't get this "need" for those who become so obsessed with finding love. It just happens when it happens. Call it fate, or God's will, or whatever.

The first step to true knowledge is get these damned cliches out of your head! There is no prince charming, no knight in shining armor, no soul-mate, no we have to have so much in common! Just love the one you're with, and accept them for who they are. So many people tend to have such a big problem with this nowadays.

Can't really answer the love thing, I don't think it does, I think its more of a thing for people to hold onto and hope for, to make things easier, but as I said, I'm not sure :P.

Usually oppisets do attract from my past relationships. If you have a lot in common with someone it usually doesn't work out for long, things get boring. At least from my expeirence.

i agree. just because uv never felt love doesnt mean its not out there or it doesnt exist. there are alot of things in the universe we cant see, that dont mean its not there. if ur hearts been broken it doesnt mean love is lost forever. give it a chance it will most likely come when u least expect it.

its a scientific fact that the "honeymoon stage"is actually just endorphorins<dont know how to spell it sorry"and other hormones that is y some ppl just wake up one day and say they don't feel how they used to feel when they first met u.......i think that love is a bit of a stupid word i think its more companionship....a friend some one who loves u even when u fart hehe and laughes at u when ur in a bad mood...some one who exceptes themselves as they are and trust u when they arent around...and they should allways agree to disagree ....ect...anyways quick where's a bucketsick ill hehe here's to not finding love drinks more drinks for me lol..........rofl

In a short answer for all those questions:

No.

scientifically speaking love is nothing more than a theory. no scientific proof that it even exists or that your heart controls it. but if you believe it to be real, then it is real.

Because one of the reasons they are here is because they have been beaten down by love. They have had no luck ( or very limited luck ) with it but still believe that it's out there for them.

i think opposites can, and do, attract one another, but i believe it's the commonalities which further bind the relationship.

It is a myth, but I'm biased in my opinion and apparently people tell me love does exist...funny, the same people that tell me that don't usually have love themselves so I'm not sure what they're basing their findings on.

Anything can attract, I've always found confidence to be a multiplier in this (I play a lot of video games).
