h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Love is surely blind and the lustfullness<?>no doubt fleeting.

Biology can't have too much to do with love, people are falling in "love" on line and over the phone everyday.

I have to hope, that once recognized, the sweet luster of pure love never fades outa sight completly. Eaven if a few years of tarnish pile on. I've met a handfull of people who found it. I hope I get to be one of the lucky ones.

I think it's possible to 'think' theres something there with someone you've never met..but you don't really know it's going to work (or if it isn't) 'till you've been with them in person ,so biology does still play a part.

That's true, I think, Serephina. You can't smell someone online or over the phone.

I was speaking from experience a little too..no mater what you think of someoone,if that chemistry thing you can't put your finger on isn't there it isn't ..

Yeah well, I have something similar coming up soon, Serephina. And no, I won't know until I know.

Still, the wondering is quite fun

az

The wondering can be the best part

And the worst

The worst? Well, maybe if one lets one's imagination run rampant.

Best never to expect too much and then be pleasantly surprised later.

az

Good point. You would obviously need to verify any "feelings". My point was the attraction dosen't necessaraly have to be something you can touch(complimentary antibodies). A romantic at heart I need to think love is something more. A nice smelling, hard body, with great eyes certinly helps, but hey, I thought we were talking emotional not psycical.

*swoon*

Well, yes, but I also don't think we were talking about platonic love. Anyhow, who in love *isn't* in love with the most attractive person in the world?

az

I absolutly agree.
It dosen't mean it was always that way though.
"beauty is in the eye of the beholder"

My seems to get better looking every time I see him!

Which is I think what usually happens, Serephina. And was also what I said before though I may have been misconstrued by Nexton or else I misconstued her response to me.

The physical part of love and attraction *is* very important. But this often has little to do with what one actually looks like. That was the point I was trying to make earlier.

Of course it behoves me to believe this, thinking I may not actually lose 20 kilos over the summer.

az

I agree it is important to desire. I too see more beauty every time I look upon love. Okay; If love is blind why do they seem more beautifull as time go's by. Dose that mean an initial blindness is wearing off?

Perhaps because once the intial LUST factor wears off then one becomes either more or less beautiful to us depending on how much we truly love them.

I don't think love is blind, though lust definitely is.

az

I seem to turn a blind eye to those I love the most. Over look flaws that might otherwise offend(not necessaraly physical). Love clouds my ability to see what is sometimes obvious to everyone else.
