Because i'm sick of hearing love songs on the radio,advertisements and commericals related to"love" I"M SICK OF IT!! !! !! its just a way to sell s**t and to make sex seem even more important!! !! !

Love does not need sex.

Love is special and frequently tarnished by the depictions in media.

Not enough options. But love is real,
so I have to take the disagreement.

And it ain't what most people think.

Then again, one can define such things
for themself, so it doesn't make too much
sense for me to hold my stand so strong.

But, mine is the most beautiful that I've
seen.

Love is OK.
Over-commercialised 'romantic' poncy s**t isn't.

I think your right in the way our society tries to "sell" romantic love as the only thing of importance(next to the love of buying stuff)But there is also...love of nature,my cats,books,well done movie or music,llove for your children,etc.Not all cultures worship love of "romance" the way western society does.The kind of love they are "selling" in our society is a very "narccistic love"based on two peoples lives revolving around the other person at the exclussion of all else.It never works for long and is unhealthy in general.

The real-world correlates to love are not a joke.

Songs, movies, advertisements, and commercials are a screwed-up myth.

Once upon a time, I was a hardened cynic about romantic love, and my AS boyfriend knew nothing of it but the idealizations of love in the media and the idealizations of other people in his infatuations.

But both of us are discovering that love and intimacy are idiosyncratic - their form, intensity, and how that intensity manifests all vary with the specific individuals in the relationship.

Someone here mentioned cultural difference. Indeed, not all cultures have any kind of standard or ideal quite like what Westerners call romantic love relationships. But all cultures, all people really, have the capacity to relate to other beings in a way that we might call love, even though it isn't necessarily like media love. Interest, loyalty, devotion, and simple enjoyment of one's time with the other being could all qualify.

Whatever type of intimate connection works for you - if it is in your nature to have intimate connections, as some people do without them just fine - may or may not resemble conventional romantic love. That doesn't matter. What matters is what each being gets out of it, and puts into it.

I don't really give a care how normal my relationship is, even though I'm NT. I don't think I could do a normal relationship, with all the sexual junk and emotional over-the-top-ness. Not at this stage in my life anyway. That's a big part of why I chose my AS bf as a "romantic partner," if you want to call it that, despite the fact that it doesn't fit all the romantic stereotypes. He wasn't conventionally sappy or ready for sex either. So we were able to develop our own kind of thing, spontaneously. We don't have sex (both of our choice), we don't kiss (my choice - he likes it, I don't), we don't say "I love you" (both of our choice). We don't need to. What we have works.

My answer is maybe. If the person you like/love does not love back yes it can be a very cruel joke nature pulls on you. Some part of a persons brain fixs on the person, object, idea whatever you get hooked on the biochemical brew called love or like. Yes i know a very cold logical view of it. As for the songs. ads they are cheap knock offs of the real thing but most read NT some AS lap that feeling up the forced feeling that the song makes them feel. Fight the feelies emp's away on the love song radio tower grin ... a joke for the comic impaired Change the channel turn off the radio or my fav get mad so it does not have the um effect the ad drones hoped it would have.

Love is one big farce until the correct person comes to change all that.

I like real love quite a lot and wish to be a part of it.

The fluffy, unthinking, base silliness that most people mistake for love.... not so much.

Love can only be found on cards.

everything is a joke. a giant cosmic joke.

I heard on news about sex in relationships.

They said:

More sex is the more healthier life.

Odd isnt it?
