What is love?

A whole gamut of things from that heady rush of first pubescent crush to putting up with you partner's foibles and smiling rather than grimacing. It's wishing you could give your your own legs to you son... .

Love is a chemical reaction, by which human genes selecting it is partner for evolution.

LOL good answer guest

I've always thought that 'love' is yet another four letter word that is over-rated, misunderstood and used too often.

Another four letter word can in some cases be substituted this is the word 'lust' - less debilitating than love, lust is far more practical in the procreation of the human species.

Yes, Lust is a similar disease in some aspects, but is completely unrelated.

Lust is a chicken pox-like virus contracted in puberty, resulting in temporary skin lesions known as "zits". In later life it lies dormant (much like chicken pox / shingles) most of the time and only erupts under certain conditions. It's well known to flourish and ravage the host body whenever there is an overindulgence in alcoholic beverages. Or when ambient temperatures rise to a point that necessitates public scarcity of clothing. At a beach, for example.

There is also an unproven but widely believed inverse-square relationship between severity of Lust outbreaks and the geographical distance between Love-infected individuals who have opted to suffer together via verbal or contractual affiliation.

Fortunately Lust outbreaks are generally quite short. However upon remission the afflicted often experience feelings of regret and an astonished disbelief that they did "that" and "that other thing" and occasionally "that disgusting thing there's not even a word for yet" with him/her/them.

LMAO LOL Guest you really must register

no

My answer exactly. Simple and accurate!

NO

No?

To tough a question? Perhaps this question is more for the the electrical engineering section?.. or wait.. the Bio med??.. no.. chemical science?..

I like the answers so far.

I just my old honda shadow up lake shore drive a few minutes ago..

I loved the ride and the weather, but in an entirely different way..

and half of that was just lusting over my fuel savings anyhow...

Just because you can't measure something with a ruler don't not mean it ain't engineering.

Sure, there's a simple answer! Love is what you got when you haven't scored a point in tennis.

Love is when one stays awake at night, gazing at one's partner sleeping just in case one misses something. Aaaaaah!

You are a hopeless romantic, PWSlack.

Actually, love is what makes the world go 'round.

Love is a feeling one feels, when one feels that one is feeling a feeling that has never been felt before.

Love is when you walk into a room and see your lover after an absence and you feel like Tyson has punched you in the stomach!!

John

Er...isn't that also revulsion?

Because I'm almost positive I feel that sensation you described every year when I see my tax attourney.

Unless...I fancy him?

Ohhhh, well maybe its just me then....

Maybe that's why I'm not married, whenever I fall in love I keep getting punched in the stomach - a wee bit distracting eh!!?
