You'll have to excuse my being cynical.

Love?

Junk.

The women I have met use 'love' both as a weapon to bleed money and attention from you (and to hurt you afterwards), and as a status symbol to brag about to their friends.

I prefer being single. I have no soap opera crap going on which requires me to spend time and money kissing butt.

I can study, read, relax and be happy.

I've never had anything other than pain from developing feelings for a woman, as I've always ended up being used as an emotional, financial or social doormat.

Being single is the best thing a man can do.

Again, excuse me for being cynical, but perhaps exposure to NTs does that.

There is no love, only passion. Passion rules our lives rather it be greed, lust, desire, anger, or hate. Love is a lie in which nature tricks us into breeding, because nature is a whore. Chaos is Unconditional, because chaos doesn't care who or what it destroys. Love expects you to be perfect, fit, willing, able, and worthy of such "feeling". I would gladly except damnation rather than accept something as worthless, and imperfect as LOVE!

"Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."

It exists.

You have to remember that not all love is the romantic kind.

I don't believe in unconditional love. Sure unconditonal love sounds great in theory or written down on paper but it is never practiced in real life.

If there was a such thing as unconditional love then none of us would be here writing about the problems we are having with dating and relationships. Because we would all have somebody to love right now.

We as humans all feel that a person must meet a certain standard or certain criteria before we decide that this person is worth our time. You hear all the time about guys who don't like fat chicks. Or you hear about girls who won't give a man under six feet tall the time of day.

I think that the only relationship that most closely resembles unconditonal love is the mother-child relationship. But when it comes to other types of relationships, I feel the love is very conditional. And the minute a person fails to live up to the criteria set, the relationship is over.

Fathers love their kids too.

Not that the human sewage in the mental health industry or their thugs could ever give a s**t.


O, that way madness lies; let me shun that;
No more of that.
