Eh, with seven billion people on the planet I'm sure it can't be that hard to find someone nowadays. With how connected the world is and all these online dating thingamajigs it should be easier than ever.

I've always followed the "If they say they love you, IT'S A TRAP!" mindset... :meh:

Love is something you are rather suspect of when you're not in it. When you're in it you're not 100% sure it's not a very elaborate trap, but you don't care.
Read "A Man For All Seasons". That explains most of what I believe in. Except the Catholic bits.

Outside of here I do lead a rather unusual and colourful life. As a Spinster.

I just want a nice man with a good accent and the manners of a Royal.

Love is basically like professional sporting, it takes a lot of effort, it's tiring and even makes you sick sometimes, but in the end, you find that it's worth it.


Also, baby don't hurt me, hurt me, no more.

Lemme tell you a little something about love:

Love can either be the best experience of your life, or the worst hell-firey experience you will ever go through. You can devote more than a year to making a woman fall in love with you, but no matter how much effort you put in, that counts for nothing without luck.

Today, I lost the love of my life for any concievable future. Why? Because my fucking glasses are too big and my cargo pants which I adore are apparently ugly.

If there is a place where Sod's Law can creep into, it will. Anything you can be shot down on, you will be. If you're amazing at all walks of life but one, you can guarantee she's only looking for someone who can accomplish the one you lack.

TL;DR, here's some philosophy: Love always ends in fucking, be it a "happy ending" or a "fuck you".

Love is a hell of a lot more than an expression of a chemical reaction, when it is genuine.

That's why I don't believe in modern love. Most of it is as shallow as the rest of society.

What is love?

As I understand it, it means feeling a strong romantic attraction with another person.

Is the Male/Female pairing the only way of Love?

No. I'm a man into men, and I feel the above.

What is meant by 'Pure Love'?

No idea. I've never heard that before. Not in my native language, either.

Is Marriage a blessing or a curse to live with your entire life?

Depends on who you're asking. I personally don't think I'd mind spending my life with another person in the form of marriage. Provided I love said person, of course.
