Love is the answer. But while we await the answer, sex raises lots of interesting questions.

So it's goggles for sex and blinders for love?

FTFY (but you were pretty accurate on most of that)

Nice. If only my ex hadn't kept me in debt while we were married. I could have actually had sex while married.

And alcohol takes them away!

I am male. I still want to hump the brains out of any female that I find physically attractive, married or not.

Marriage just means I don't actively try to because alimony sucks.

Love makes you do stupid, stupid things.

/so does booze, but I love booze.

Actually, I've found this to be true. I've been w/ my girl for 4 months. Gym workers, clients, other chicks - not so hot now. They are still attractive, but not in the same way. It's like a painting verses a photo. Both can have beauty, but one means more.

I think I grabbed this on fark, many many moons ago;



I'll drink to that.

Sounds like a woman wrote this garbage.

a year ago i thought my boyfriend was "interesting" looking at best...i now think hes like super handsome.

/aww

I'm not an anthropolomologist but, Kome is right as vaconex may attest. During the "love struck" period of a relationship (first few months/year) is it possible that is when we are supposed to be having tons of teh sex in order to reproduce then, move on. Commitment to one partner is a relativley new concept that is actually somewhat incompatable with human physiology and reproduction.

Anybody with more knowledge care to fill in the holes in my theory?

Mr. Dennis is hopeful.

It's Google for sex; ah porn

You mean... loving someone takes efforts? Work? You have some control over how much you care about someone?

Who would have thought?

How does this apply to only seeing the top/back of her head?

I've been there.

I remember a girl at a bar asking me what five women I'd rank as the hottest celebrities. I couldn't even give her one.

I could see other women AS attractive, but I wasn't particularly attracted to them.

When the girl I was seeing at the time and broke up, we kept going at it for a while, and I was also sleeping with two other girls, and fooling around with some other random chicks here and there, (it's the one time in my life I've really and truly been a man-whore) and all of them were mostly just sort of distractions... I'd have dropped them all in a heartbeat if I'd thought that my ex and I could finally figure our shiat out and make it work.

Looking back, a couple of them were probably more attractive than my ex... (and more pleasant to boot) but there was just something with my ex. We just connected in a way that I never have with anybody before or since... The 90% of the time when things were good, they were just amazing. The problem is, the 10%of the time when they were bad, they were farking awful.

My experience with her has often made me wonder if it's possible for two people to love each other TOO much, where it just just starts to consume both of you and get too powerful or too volatile or something.

I still feel like that after 2 and a half years. Really.

Of course, my boyfriend's the hottest guy, so it's easy.

/happy made-up corporate holiday, everybody.

got love goggles. They still work after 18 months. Doesn't filter out the nasty ones, just makes the attractive ones irrelevant.

\sure she's cute, but she's not you!

Steak and BJ Day? (probably NSFW) (new window)

my girlfriend is hte most beautiful person ive ever met in real life, but i acknowledge and flirty with other women sometimes, usually with her permission adn around her just for fun. she actually points out girls she thinks are cute too. i love her very much.

/we're going to victoria for steak and bowjob day

Sweetest day is in October. If you ment Valentines Day- it's hardly a made up corporate holiday.

So spending money on dinner/flowers/chocolate/other love oriented objects for the sake of a designated day relating to some saint that most people don't care about isn't corporate?

I don't care what you do on Valentines day. Hell, go shoot up some mobsters if you want. It's still not a made up corporate holiday. It's like saying Christmas is a made up corporate holiday.

Bravo on the mob reference. Commercial entities have co-op'd the holiday, and have driven home the message that material purchases = love. I have nothing against either holiday, its the $ = love message that bothers me.

My boyfriend's a vegetarian. ;)

/goodnight everybody!
//he seriously is a vegetarian.

I'll drink to that. I've been with my girlfriend for slightly more than 5.5 years, and I still think she's beautiful, but more importantly, a wonderful person.

There may be prettier women, but I'm fully convinced something would be majorly wrong with them. I've found the best of both worlds.

Don't forget to check out the second page of that article... it's highly informative.

yarnothuntin Christmas is a made-up corporate holiday. The sentiments behind these holidays shouldn't be forced out of your wallet. Though of course it's nice to make things special once in awhile.

technicolor-misfit: I could see other women AS attractive, but I wasn't particularly attracted to them.

I should have read the whole thread. This is what I was trying to say....

Shani: So it's become commercialized, but by no means a made up corporate holiday. That's very different!

So not BUYING cards, not BUYING candies, not BUYING flowers, will keep you in her good graces?

I'm with you on that. I'm just saying there's a difference between observance and origin. Just cuz Hallmark and Big Chocolate cornered the market doesn't make it a made up corporate holiday. But like most everyone else, I gave money to Hallmark, the post office, and will give some more to wife and I's favorite local Itallian joint for VD. I ment V-Day er, Valentines Day.

Venereal Disease, Victory Day, or Valentines Day?

No it's not. And nobody is forcing you to do anything or buy anything on these holidays.

Though of course it's nice to make things special once in awhile.

Now you're getting it.

It doesn't have to be. Besides, you are wrong that "most people" do not care about it. I and every woman I know do care about it. Women are 51% of the population, so if most women care, and some men care, we outnumber you.

Look at it this way: if you are in a long term relationship, this is one day a year the woman can count on romance and the man can count on sex--unless things are falling apart and your relationship is dead.

Even if it were "made up" (recently or centuries ago) there is nothing wrong with a day to honor romance. Sometimes people forget the important things and you have to shake the sugar tree. If you have no money, think of what romantic things you can do for her (and no, sharing your amazing porn collection is NOT romantic).

/misses romantic love
//If you have it, enjoy it

kidsizedcoffin: So not BUYING cards, not BUYING candies, not BUYING flowers, will keep you in her good graces?

Who is this generic "her" of which you speak?

I'm looking forward to sitting out in the living room, drinking a bottle of wine and playing Wii with my husband while my mom watches the baby. I suppose there are some people who feel that a material gift or a lavish dinner is more important than time together (really together, not just sharing the same space)...but I am not one of them. The holiday is what you make of it, and my husband and I always make a point to enjoy each other's company rather than spend a bunch of money.

With a little wine and luck, hopefully all of the above LOL.
