<p>I want to point out something that I feel has been neglected on all these looks-based threads: girls care about looks in guys as much as the other way around. This is especially true in high school / college / the early 20s. Even if they choose to settle later in life, girls all know where their significant others stand in terms of looks.</p>
<p>I noticed it’s the guys mostly who are denying the concept of true love and the girls saying it does exists.</p>
<p>Just an observation.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>If love is truly that great, why should “been” be used to describe love? I love(no pun intended) watching couples ramble about how much they “love” each other, only to break up a month later.</p>
<p>
An incorrect observation, considering all three of the people in this thread who commented on “true love” were girls…</p>
<p>Unless, of course, lollybo and TA3021 are guys (which I don’t think they are).</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’m glad somebody pointed that out. </p>
<p>But then again, I’m slightly pessimistic.</p>
<p>^^i always felt that way too until i actually experienced it. i also fell out of love. it happens, but the fact that it’s gone (for whatever reason) doesn’t make the love you felt any less real or any less amazing.</p>
<p>Nevermind, I thought TA was a guy and I was including myself in as well.</p>
<p>( Wow, this thread got many replies. I thought this was a old thread pulled up)</p>
<p>What do you mean:
“Attractive people have disadvantages such as getting resented by the jealous, don’t get taken as seriously because they’re perceived as unintelligent, sleazy creeps hit on them all the time and sometimes people only care about their looks and not the real them.”</p>
<p>Looks ====>REAL THEM (genetics)
Intelligence+Personality ====>learned behavior/adaptation</p>
<p>You got it all wrong</p>
<p>Can shallow people really be blamed? They’re just heeding to their evolutionary dispositions.</p>
<p>I heard that the feeling of romantic love only lasts from 18 months to 2 years and that love is a social construct. Trufax.
I’m too tired to care or elaborate right now.</p>
<p>^ I disagree. I think attraction only lasts 18 months to 2 years and then love either stems from that or it falls apart. I mean, all those happily married people out there aren’t exactly despising their partners.</p>
<p>Dude, I am a very attractive male and it actually isn’t all that great. I have to turn down so many chicks that I’m not into and it just gets tiring.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Then it becomes long lasting, deep bonding friendship if they can still stand each other…</p>
<p>“Dude, I am a very attractive male and it actually isn’t all that great. I have to turn down so many chicks that I’m not into and it just gets tiring.”</p>

<p>suuuuuuure you are ;)</p>
<p>Name one time anything didn’t matter when a subjective decision needed to be made.</p>
<p>
About 50% of marriages end in divorce. I would guess that a fair amount more than that are unhappy. True love may exist, but it is frequently prematurely declared.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>People who feel otherwise probably have been in love for less than two years. Has there seriously been anyone who has truly been in love with the same passion and fervor after two years?</p>
<p>How about a balance?</p>
<p>I was describing this to a girl I have a crush on.</p>
<p>She is very beautiful in my opinion, but she doesn’t think so.
She has a beautiful personality and her and I can talk for literally hours on end.</p>
<p>I really like her
and although she is beautiful</p>
<p>I’ve gone out with hot girls who just have sucky personalities and can’t talk</p>
<p>for me, talkign is a must and the way her and I talk is a huge turn on because I can see myself talking to her when Im like 60 and I have no looks!</p>
<p>so… yeah, looks in the long run don’t matter… do u want to have a wife/husband who u don’t even talk? yeah F THAT</p>
<p>I don’t think love necessarily has to be passion and fervor. It’s like an attachment. The passion’s just an infatuation and it wears off. You don’t have to have passion for love to be romantic.</p>
