Interesting insights about love.
Interesting insights about love.
Love begins when you move from liking someone because of to liking someone inspite of.
Re: Interesting insights about love.
That's only interesting for the half minute you need to to contemplate the apparent contradiction.
Give it a full minute and follow the logic.
If the the positive attractions came to a plateau (you don' discover any new ones and the old ones don't grow) , while the negatives to put up with increased, you would soon progress from love to.... which? forbearance>sainthood>martyrdom or tolerance>aggravation>homicide ?

I've got a feeling that, as far as Hobbes is concerned, that is not the correct answer, VT.vegetariantaxidermy wrote:Definitely.Hobbes' Choice wrote: Was Woody Allen ever funny enough to be fancy-able?

Seriously though when it came to the bedroom with that tiny skinny pale body and the big head with the curly hair you'd not go through with it eh?vegetariantaxidermy wrote:Definitely.Hobbes' Choice wrote:Was Woody Allen ever funny enough to be fancy-able?vegetariantaxidermy wrote: Most women find a funny man irresistible.
Re: Interesting insights about love.
I suppose there is always platonic love, but with Woody Allen's lopsided attribute-profile, I can more easily imagine the second progression.
Especially if he spoke.

'He's' had. Mind you, I didn't know he was a sleaze back then.Hobbes' Choice wrote:Women he had, or had by women.vegetariantaxidermy wrote:At his peak of funniness he was irresistible. Just look at the women he had.Hobbes' Choice wrote:

I did, however, know a married stand-up comic with a face like a plate of scrambled eggs...that were going off. He was up and down the country with gigs and said that one of the perks of the job was the women, he didn't even have to pull, who would present themselves to him and an overnight motel stay. As the conversation progressed, he admitted that in comparison to other, better looking, comics, his number of extra marital, one night stands was poor.

Does anyone remember the 'Love means... never having to say you're sorry' statement. Now that is bulls**t! Love means having to say you're sorry quite a lot, for some folk.

I might have unconsciously stolen it from William Falkner.
I discovered it today when I re-read some secondary literature in which his letter was quoted and said the same.
It was about the South.
I appreciate the thought offered by Skip in the beginning.
Many people are difficult to love so it is a challenge to find a way to love them nonetheless.
Reducing the encounters to a bearable number (picking the raisins) is one approach that might work.
