I agree. For me love isn't a simple emotion, I feel bad for people that only know it to that extent.

Cynical? Only if you're looking at life through the DisneyTM/Hollywood-kaleidoscope. I'm a realist. Marriage is a dumb idea. But it's all part of the female agenda, so I won't hassle you for your views. ...Do please tell me that you're female.

The first paragraph was actually about MONOGAMY, my bad. But sure, you can argue that marriage worked for your grandpops, and I will agree. But those were different times. Why did it work? 'cause your grandpapa "discreetly" had some on the side.

But we're not living in the 50s, we're not living in a matriarchal society, we're not living in a society where religion and marriage are separate - it's all moot.

Do tell me what marriage is.

(You don't have to pray, but I appreciate it nonetheless.)

there is no point in arguing with you because your off in left field and I'm playing a different game.

Also, not everyone cheats. I'm not sure if this has been your experience or the people you know but it is not the reality of everyone. :/

If you're not into marriage/monogamy fine w/e. But just because you're not game with it doesn't make it a farce. Ever thought idk society has hardwired you to disapprove of it?

also LOL at the female agenda.

Let's see, I used to be fed the same kind of bullshit most people get. I bought it. "Aww, marriage, girlfriend, bladdieblah". I was in tune with you and most other people out there. What I'm currently lobbying is way off field for about 85-90% of all the people out there (and that's not counting people that have a cynical approach to love because of being heartbroken or never experienced "love", etc. into the remaining 10%). So, has social conditioning affected 90% or 10%? Give me a break.

Of course not EVERYONE cheats, but that's dumb. There's a lot of people who can't. "Not everyone who is attractive to other people cheats" is actually a valid statement, which I again agree on.

But what do you consider cheating? Sexing someone, kissing someone else (in a lusty manner, 'course), having thoughts of someone in your social circle, having thoughts of someone passing by, expressing ideas, thoughts, dreams that hasn't ever been shared with the partner? All, some, none of the above?

If love was anything other than a figment of imagination, I would approve of it, but love is merely a word for a formula. Attraction -> Addiction + Delusion. Very often combined with not having a lot of other options out there.

I.e. Guy (Schmuck) meets hot girl, omg, she digs him, gotta have her for life.
I.e. Hot girl meets guy who isn't a schmuck like the others, someone I can't control, someone who drives me crazy with desire - gotta have him for life... no, wait, gotta have him until I've domesticated him. (It's part of the female romantic dream.)

The female agenda is no laughing-matter. Scary. ;_;

I'm sorry that your experiences in life have led you to this conclusion. I wont argue with you about it though. I just want to ask you that if you dont think that love exists then what about the feelings between parents & their children, siblings, or between good friends? Is that not love as well?
