this is actually extremely interesting. Could it be that we need our bodies or at least the feeling of them(like phantom limbs) to experience certain emotions? (I haven't read the paper yet)

Love is a powerful primitive physiological and behavioral response adjusted to bond mother and offsprings, a deep, intense and addictive affection. Which can, however, be extrapolated to relationships with other subjects.

At least this is the case in the most traditional sense of the word and differs from "passion", "pleasure" or "limerence".

>> No.7127266

>>7127260
People who're paralyzed from the neck down usually report becoming less emotional. Of course this can be due to the fact of them not being able to walk and stuff, but still.

The automatic nervous system is related to emotion, and there's been a lot of stuff about how increased heart rate, sweating and stuff is not as much caused by emotional response, but that rather that the emotion itself is deduced later from signals of our bodily state.

>> No.7127297

>>7127253
No, but it's still interesting to get answers from different point of views.

Some tasty copy pasta from /lit/:
“Love...no such thing.
Whatever it is that binds families and married couples together, that's not love. That's stupidity or selfishness or fear. Love doesn't exist.

Self interest exists, attachment based on personal gain exists, complacency exists. But not love. Love has to be reinvented, that’s certain.”

What do you think of this now /sci/?

>> No.7127301

I think it's probably not fair to judge /lit/ from a post by a 12 year old. It's like judging /sci/ by those threads about consciousness and quantum whatever made by schizophreniacs.

Love is an illusion and a lie. It does not exist. You are being indoctrinated by the media to chase love, only to be disappointed again and again. Women are not capable of feeling love. The closest you could ever get to "love" is by buying a dog. At least the dog is loyal and doesn't treat you with contempt.

>Love is an illusion and a lie. It does not exist.
Can you show it?
Maybe showing the definition and, then, showing evidence that implies anything that fits such can't exist.

>> No.7127311

>>7127307
I think you're wrong. And you're also right.
Medias are giving some fake ideas about love for sure, and I bet it has some influence.
But still, I do feel better when I wake up with a woman I like ,usually, and sex isn't needed to make me feel good with her.

Also, keep punishing a woman, give her a little reward from time to time, she'll be obcessed by you. Is this love, or just attraction. Or is love just attraction

The media does seem a bit obsessed with "true love", which is a bit annoying. I think it's just because people in general are obsessed with sex though.

No. It's not measuring temperature, but some bullshit subjective data set where people were shown a picture or video or whatever, and then they pointed to a place on the body where they felt some twinge or emotion or something like that.

>Men are the only ones capable of feeling love. Men write love letters, love poems, whole fucking books about love.
Traditionally, men are the ones that have to do most things in a relationship, such as impressing the other party.
Also, women tend to want more romance than men.

>Show me a woman who does the same. I don't know any.
Look up the etymology of the word lesbian.

So, I guess, "love" in that image is probably arousal or lust then.

>> No.7131429

Love cannot be held in one's hands, so it is not really something that can be examined. While there are some biological feedbacks for love, you can also equate these things to other outside stimuli.

A word with many subjective connotations, but many people will stubbornly claim that theirs is the only right definition.

Here's my view:
I try to think back at cavemen: Men wanted to protect their women at all cost and women wanted to protect their children at all cost.

Also kinda related to topic, what is /sci/ opinion on serious waifuism? Do you think that in response of increasing feminism or other influences, men will more likely look for artificial romantic relationships?
