I wonder if man who has to see T&A to decide if a woman is pretty has ever been truly in love.

A) Snark
B) Ain't nobody ever in a place to tell another person what they have or have not felt

To add:

Love is a cute word for a chemical process. Evolution is not sentimental. Hips matter.

Right, cause men who are what we might term "ladies men" never look at a potential partners hips, right?

I was thinking about the reducing love to a chemical process part of the sentiment.

I'm not sure that weathers the exact same criticism any better.

Are you suggesting that men who might term as "ladies men" would never think love is just a chemical? I find that more laughable than the previous idea.

And I'm terribly sorry that you find personal fault with me for believing in materialism, but it's not my fault if you believe fairy tales and some absurd reality that is non-material.

Cause saying that love is a chemical process means I am incapable of being nice to people? Your reasoning is getting worse and worse by the comment, stop yourself before you wind up sounding like Trog or BDJ

If the only reason you can think of that means you are being nice is because of chemicals and fairy tales, I'll stand by the assessment.

Again, it's not my fault you choose to believe in fairy tales that posit a world beyond material.

This is like when people tell me "I feel bad for you, that you don't have God/Jesus in your life."

And ya know what I say to them? I'm sad that you are dumb, but I can't change that.

Accepting the reality of materialism and accepting the consequences of that (among the consequences is that emotions, from love to hate, are all just chemicals) is something any intelligent person ought to do. But I can't make you.

"Happy anniversary, honey! Please accept this archaic signifier of my intent to claim super ordinate copulation privileges with your sufficiently ample pelvic region!"

I'm glad you recognize it as archaic. You are truly trapped in tradition, and that is unfortunate, since tradition attempts to justify itself with inadequate reason.


You can keep believing in the wizard of Oz, I prefer the knowledge of what is behind the curtain.

Sure. We in love also love a bit of T&A. Love for all!

Hey, T&A are fantastic.

But there is a moment when true love is actually a part of a relationship when the person you are with becomes far more beautiful than the sum of her parts as measured on the standard cultural scale. That moment is breath taking.

"There is a moment when true love...."


Would all True-Scotsman come to the front please....

You know better than to invoke the no-true-scotsman fallacy most of the time it is unfortunate you do not see the problem with using that fallacy here.

I'm sorry you are trapped by the tablets other men have carved.

I don't like rituals. Be they anniversaries or birthdays or religious rites.

Someone got chained in front of the Hallmark channel until their will succumbed, I see. . . . That's some serious Romance Stockholm Syndrome.
