Is romantic love really real?

JStheHammer · 2016-10-26T23:54:07+00:00

Nope. Just chemicals in your brain.

My-Name-Is-No-One · 2016-10-27T00:53:51+00:00

No. It makes for a good fairy tale though, and as a nice product to sell. As said by JS, the rest is just chemicals in the brain that are akin to mental illness in both brain wave patterns and the resultant actions and behaviors.

Naw, it's your just body trying to reward you for having sex and then fucking up your mental state in the process.

In hollywood it is.

it's really a ploy to drive consumer spending

"Romance" has no functional, biological basis. It's a relatively modern social construct to facilitate reproduction. That's about it, really. It's why when the kid comes along, the shit usually hits the fan for the guy in terms of how his wife treats him (even if she appeared to be a NAWALT prior).

oldredder · 2016-10-27T09:12:03+00:00

Not really.

A long time ago, like 2 generations ago, women were able but these days barely any are. There's too much push to tell women their freedom is from pushing down men. As long as they believe it no romance is possible.

Don't fall for it. You may feel "romantic love," but after a few months it's all down hill brother.

It's mostly a medieval literary invention that has been hijacked for marketing purposes.

nigelh · 2016-10-27T08:53:39+00:00

Yes, but the trouble is that it tells you it's going to last for ever but it's just chemicals and they fade pretty quickly. Through most of human history by the time it died down you had moved from your family as your support group to your partner as your group and you were dependant on one another to survive so you needed to support one another - the hunter needed a gatherer and the gatherer needed a hunter. These days that requirement has pretty much gone so both parties start looking for another hit of good chemical feelings and want to move on while keeping their current food supply chain running. You can make it work but it's not easy.

as real as alice in wonderland. do you believe the story ? its in that book so it must be real, right ?

Just remember:

The people below aren't helping and sound like they belong in the red pill which is chock full of cuckolds...

Look, those feelings you have are there for a reason and perfectly natural and good. We both know this society is SHIT to men, but don't delegitimize those feelings as that's something they'd do. The problem is as a man, you're feelings are never validated. We're not to feel anything. Loss, fear, passion, desire... we're shamed for all of it.

But boy do they like it when we work. We're niggers to the ruling class. A ruling class made up mostly of men who can have any bitch they want. But in reality what do they have? Sure they have money and nice things, the nicest things... but their relationships are shallow as fuck too. They're smart and stupid at the same time.

Guys like us would be happy with empty balls, a full stomach, and someone to call our own. That's it. It's an easy enough system as nature/God/whatever intended. And I can't tell you step by step how to get them but I can tell you to just stay aware and never doubt yourself even though it's hard.

grufx · 2016-10-27T12:52:17+00:00

Absolutely real, just entirely one sided.

altburger69 · 2016-10-27T13:20:34+00:00

It is for men.

ArthurVonL · 2016-10-27T05:07:54+00:00

Yes it is, go for it and then marry her.

KamiMoon · 2016-10-27T05:09:53+00:00

No. In some cultures there was no word for love as expressed by the ideas created by the West in the Middle Ages.

andreas-mgtow · 2016-10-27T06:08:16+00:00

LOL!

JPDG · 2016-10-27T06:53:35+00:00

It is not.

suteru_ · 2016-10-27T08:55:46+00:00

Yes, it is ... in the minds of men ... who, after all, invented the beautiful concept. But not in the minds of women, no matter how hard they try. And watch out when they weaponise it to use against you!

CyanideCookiez · 2016-10-27T10:20:31+00:00

Nope, most men like to string themselves along into thinking that it is though but women's true nature is counter to romance.

Spungo1 · 2016-10-27T12:27:22+00:00

Romantic love is real for a few months. That is when receptors begin to down regulate and adjust to the new baseline.

After that, it is more similar to the way people feel about their car.

sadbasturd99 · 2016-10-27T12:42:23+00:00

Of course it is real. But it just doesn't last as long as we would like it to. Then it becomes work. And that is when many people, especially women because it is so easy for them, opt out.

If you want to be in that state of bliss where you finally get to be with a woman who understands you and cares about you and you make love and merge with her on a mental/spiritual/psychological/callitwhatyouwant level FOREVER, then that is a delusion.

And of course as many people have said here, legal marriage is not an option for a man in many countries because of the slanted laws and attitudes towards men.

its a chemical reaction that occurs naturally to keep our species population growing.
