and before one of you faggots say Orin and Joelle that relationship is explored in the most dispassionate and summary way possible. I never came to understand how these characters saw each other or what they loved in each other at all, besides the obvious that Joelle is very very pretty

And that's a good thing. What's with this trend of wanting a love story in every freaking work of fiction? I blame Hollywood.

It doesn't. "Love" is respect sometimes mixed with attraction. You'll realize when you actually get a girlfriend.

That's my point. You realize love doesn't exist.

I experienced Im assuming what you guys call love a few times, with my more serious gfs, and it is a bit of a meme. It's an intoxicating feeling, but so is heroin, or mania, or whatever. The absolute obsession with love is weird

I wouldnt be surprised if some people dont get that feeling at all. Over the years my ability to feel it has diminished, i think in proportion to the number of women ive been with, as though the initial feeling has been spread between too many people.

My very first gf, i could have imagined being with her and loving her forever. I cant imagine even really dating someone at this point. All everyone wants is casual sex until theyre 30 and whats the point of marrying a 30 year old?

Adore =/= Love
I've been with people who adored me and it was mutual. It was not love.

the nonexistence of love is a hard cope by stemdrone nihilists and sociopaths who cannot get a grasp on anything which does not easily fit into a mathematic or marxist law. these people are toxic because they view every interpersonal interaction as a market exchange. they do not care about you, they are trying to invest in you.

>> No.12051673

>>12051665
Caring exists. To say the opposite would be retarded. Love does not. And nah, nihilists are autistic. Got the sociopath part right though.

Love is a balance between using and enjoying each other. This book shows the follies of only using as US Americans have perfected
