Is love just a pretty face?

Also, read Symposium by Plato, you homo. Love goes a great deal deeper than that. It drives men to aspire towards the good, and the beautiful, of which a pretty face is only a petty reflection of.

Burn.

This honestly. I've dated people who straight up became more and more physically attractive as I got to know them

Nobody can resist the Italian charm.

>No one ever falls head over heels for ugly people.
Says you. I've got a two decent looking friends that blissfully married two total uggos.

I think so, yes. A Baroque Opera called Didone has the Cupid mercilessly say that only the beautiful deserve love.

Read Erich Fromm.

Yes, he was Frankfurt school, but he was a decent thinker.

Incorrect. I crushed hard on an old uggo professor. And my boyfriend is a balding manlet. The body serves the mind. As long as it works, who cares what it looks like. Youth and beauty expire.

Stop posting old hags, they aren't pretty. Get illuminated son:

But the following Contraries to these are True.
1. Man has no Body distinct from his Soul; for that call'd Body is a portion of Soul discern'd by the five Senses, the chief inlets of Soul in this age.
2. Energy is the only life and is from the Body and Reason is the bound or outward circumference of Energy.
3. Energy is Eternal Delight.

i.e. an ugly body is the perception of an ugly soul.

I won't post you, don't worry.

You say this because you're probably unattractive yourself.

I'm not an old hag though, hag apologist.

>No one ever falls head over heels for ugly people.
I met this girl once (long story short I think God was messing with me, not even joking), anyways she was the ugliest thing I'd ever seen, I didn't the way she looked, talked, or acted. She was always super shy and never confident and she had the strangest laugh.
Her hair color was a turn off, I didn't like her pale skin, or her freckles, she wore glasses too, she'd always wear long-sleeved sweaters and pants, she had moss-camo pattern shoes, and her body looked like she was 11 (she was much older, no pedo and I do find young bodies to be a turn off for obvious reasons, haveaseat.jpg)
She wasn't like a nerd but she would look out of place at a party, she also seemed like she had that aura of "number 2 is fine" since she had an overachiever sister.
Basically she was the anti-thesis of what I found attractive.

Then, then she started talking to me, helping me with math homework (I was a total retard and she was beyond intelligent) she laughed at everything I said and was super flirty, I acted like a jerk and never wanted to talk to her.
But she still stuck with me, hung around and helped me in everything she could was always really really nice.
I realized one day (still remember the date and exact time because I looked at my watch and then at her), looking into her eyes as we were doing math homework that I was totally and completely in love with her.
I realized that she was the most beautiful person I'd ever met.
Even to this day not a single day has passed that she hasn't crossed my mind, and you couldn't ask me to find a better looking person.
I realized how beautiful she was when I fell in love with her personality, she had a heart of pure gold, man.

Unfortunately (this was some time ago) we parted ways (high-school ended and all that)
Haven't seen her since.

I used to lurk those /b/ feels threads and I used to think "I'll never be like those losers!"

Here I am

If you didn't understand my meaning, basically your general statement "no one" is false, because I am the exception and I figure that my experience is more general than most would like to believe.

Its all about who they are.
That's what you fall in love with, the physical attraction, that often comes after you love her.

The man is such a pure and genuine, yea naive being, as opposed to the vapid daughter of Pandora/Eve.

A woman would NEVER fall in love with the nerdy orbiter that offers to help her out with her homework. And even if she somehow did she would never date him because of what her girlfriends would think.

Love is biochemically no different from eating a large quantity of chocolate.

>Love is biochemically no different from eating a large quantity of chocolate.
The diminishing marginal return on chocolate is much more than it is for love.

she looks like Tracer.

Depends on your definition of love, normaly accourding to most definitions, falling in love at first sight is not real love. If we are talking about mating patterns, it is extremly relevant for females and can have a little bit of relevance for man.

Nah my virgin friend. Romantic love is real, it just dies off real quickly.

Sorry man, it must suck not being able to be with the person you truly love.

I've just lusted after girls, I'm more in love with the idea of being in love than anything really.

She was helping me.
She was a loner.
I wasn't the nerdy orbiter, she was.

>I have never been in love

I'm not apologizing you, hag.

>it must suck not being able to be with the person you truly love.

You don't even knnow man

QT I've been taking classes with is going with me to a political party gathering tomorrow. I want to approach and strike up a conversation, hope I don't sperg out.

>I wasn't the nerdy orbiter, she was.
I get it. That's why I said, if the roles were switched, and you were an attractive female and she was a male beta orbiter, you would use him to help you out and then ditch him and call him names if he dared fall in love with you, then tell your friends what a loser he is.

Sorry, man. those feels must be messing with me.
But,
>and you were an attractive female and she was a male beta orbiter, you would use him to help you out and then ditch him and call him names if he dared fall in love with you, then tell your friends what a loser he is.
that's exactly what happened, fate got its revenge in that I fell totally in love with her when it was too late and our time together was drawing to a close.

Just cut your dick off and go orbit some betas if you're so jealous.

This

No worries my man. I actually have a very similar story and this is wht caught my attention about yours. I met my ugly duckling at a dance class. She was also shy, skinny and awkward, and would often step on my foot, whereas all the other women were more attractive and feminine. But she just had a way, that made want to hold her in my lap. I ruined it because I tried to sleep with her on our first date and she explicitly told me she didn't like dates and was very nervous.

some men should be castrated.

its actually biochemically a few orders of a magnitude less effectual. "Love" is psycologically speaking, borderline obsessive behavior, and most people experience it for much of their lives. Sure people are addicted to sugar, but it doens't have the staying power. Noone is really sure what mechanisms describe it so yeah

Sorry femaon not an argument. The fact he is still with her shows either he is a slave to his sex drive, or he really loves her if he stays with her, even if she isn't really attrative to him. Almost a platonic from of love.

Ive got a sweet tooth but chocolate has never caused me to destroy my life

Except science has shown that people find each other more attractive the longer they know each other.

Short hair > long hair

Too bad most chicks with short hair can be a bit crazy, sometimes.

>too many feels tonight

I hope you see her again.

>I realized how beautiful she was when I fell in love with her personality, she had a heart of pure gold, man.
yeah, you feel valued by her and love to feel valued. she is ugly and you are a beta

If this was actually true, it would sink any sort of mind-brain connection.

I fell in love with a girl with a average face before. Love is not your boner user its when you get so infatuated just hearing your lover's name. Then you learn women cant feel love and think lovey dovey men are pussies.

If we're going to be totally honest and not just shitposting guys, personality can trump a lot of looks deficits, for real. Not all, but a lot.

>is love just a pretty face?

nope, but it sure doesn't hurt

>3. Energy is Eternal Delight.

that phrase has no meaning.

this is what happens when I see a girl with a cute face. I want to take the girl in my arms, kiss and make her safe/ without pain, that she feels at ease forever. plus I want to fuck her and cum while she cums.

I rarely see cute girls though, and IRL, I hate to please women and women just want good sex anyway

Love is a lot of things.

Parents still love their fugly kids.

Jesus Christ, MUH DIK

Falling in love with beta orbiters is an awful trait for women to have though. Imagine if cavewomen would just as easily been drawn to the guys beta orbiting around the mammoths hoping to pickbout edibles out of their shit as they would have been to the men hunting them. We should be thankful for the evil of women.

If I want super sex appeal i'll go to porn.

If I want an actual relationship then i'll find someone whose smart, nice and fun to talk to, I still have physical standards though

You are taking the regular hatred of tripfags to new levels

Love is porn minus all the things that make porn cool.

this user speaks the truth

>No one ever falls head over heels for ugly people.
cf Grimes

I'm sorry you didn't get to be with her; I hope this happens to me one day.

>No one ever falls head over heels for ugly people.
You'd be surprised.

That's it I'm telling my gf to cut her hair short tonight.

This desu wa.

Iktfb
There is no love like first love

>yeah, you feel valued by her and love to feel valued. she is ugly and you are a beta
yeah, maybe.

wait, what is beta about wanting to be valued or liking someone who likes you?

these charm plays a role, you can develop a crush on someone by talking to them a lot

...

Don't you know? Being anything but an emotionally dead, cynical tubesock of a human being is beta.

>it must suck not being able to be with the person you truly love.

Sure, but you do realize that you literally rewire your brain to find someone more and more attractive if you lead an otherwise happy relationship, heck, people in healthy relationships provably start looking more similar to each other the longer they are together, which is as cracy as it sounds. Also, there is a difference between someone not being pretty to the point of love on first sight and someone being subliminally ugly to you. If someone is truly "ugly" to you, that is just a very obvious sign of your brain chemistry telling you "DON'T DO IT YOU ARE GENETICALLY INCOMPATIBLE", though this is even stronger with their smell. I often enaugh see people that most other people would deem attractive and find them uncannily repulsive to look at or smell.

There is a reason that German and quite a few other languages have sayings about how people "can't smell each other" instead of "can't stand each other". Just find someone that is at least okay looking and smells nice and take them if you love their personality, your brain will do the rest for you.

Love on first sight and all that jazz is really overvalued, especially because there is a difference between raw asthetic attraction and sexual attraction that most people are too autistic to realize.

Why do you think there is such a high divorce rate nowadays? For the same reason why post divorce relationships hold longer, at least for those that learned from their mistakes. Literally every adult in my extended family had a divorce and has been in a stable loving relationship afterwards.

Before people get married, they should be locked in a room without hygiene products for a few weeks to make sure their funk is compatible.

Post moar short hair qts.

It's almost been a year since it ended and I still think about it. I know I'm young and have many years ahead of me, but I just wish I didn't have to think about her anymore. She understood me like no one else.

>I've just lusted after girls, I'm more in love with the idea of being in love than anything really.

I am in the same shitty position. I desire love yet the women I dated either bored me or I fucked up along the to a decent relationship by being a antisocial retard.

>The man is such a pure and genuine, yea naive being, as opposed to the vapid daughter of Pandora/Eve.

Yet man also stole the fire from the gods, is beyond cruel to his kin and would tear the world apart if it fulfills his hearts desire.

>A woman would NEVER fall in love with the nerdy orbiter that offers to help her out with her homework. And even if she somehow did she would never date him because of what her girlfriends would think.

A woman does not fall in love like a man does. Understand that the daughters of Eve/Pandora do not seek the things the man does.
A woman will only ever love a man that carves his own path.
The compassionate slave is not what the woman desires but the violent conqueror.

It's funny you should mention that. My own fiance used to love wearing my old clothes even if they were dirty. She loved the way I smelled for some reason. According to others she was fugly (but Dat body) but I never saw that. Thanks for the quality post user. She is dead now and I've not yet found another who will embrace me at such a level. You give me hope that another may yet exist.

I don't get what you anons mean by saying that a woman can not fall in love like a man. It just sounds gay to me.

that's pretty sad
tell us more, please

What exactly do you want to know?

>first kiss
Town fair

>first fug
Post-homecoming football game/dance in the back of muh truck

That's some basics to get your feels going

she's probably taken dozens of dick now already m8

what happened, why is she dead

how old are you

I'm sorry user
My ex was the same, then we broke up and she did her best to fuck every Chad in sight just to prove a point
worst thing is it actually worked

Miscarriage and bad luck. There isn't really more that can be said on the matter. These things happen.

It really sucked and it still leaves a dull ache to this day. On the otherhand, had it not happened, I wouldn't have met the people I did or gone to the places I went thanks to joining the Army.

It was probably for the best in the end. She died young and I can idealize her now instead of us having to live through the messiness of life. She'd have hated the man I became. She was the classic introvert art type. I believe I was most of her world. That is an interesting thought in and of itself.

28

It sounds pure cheese and out of another era I know. I grew up in a small farming town though. That's explains it.

I think I got the better deal desu. Did you ever recover?

>Did you ever recover?
not really no
Goddamn that stupid bitch

Mind me asking what happened?

you're young. one day you'll meet someone who will take your mind off of her, and the whole dreadful cycle will start all over again.

I don't think I've ever been in love. I mean I love people in my life but I don't think I've ever been IN love.

All these stories in this thread sound so alien when you have literally 0 friends, let alone a lover.

We had a very bumpy relationship anyway
Constant arguing and drama, breaking furniture and passionate making up sex included.
The arguments mostly revolved around her ever growing entourage of male friends (beta orbiters as /r9k/ would've called them).

One day I blocked her number and deleted her from all social media, that's when she went on her fucking spree.

God damn. Sorry to hear that amigo. Meaningless platitude I know but it's all I can offer. Is she fat and ugly now?

no she is hotter than ever

looking back I really was a jealous bf and I really did love her, but going on a fucking cruise with her slutty best friend alone?

Hi there!

You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of Veeky Forums are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!

Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bit to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!

you can fall for people while being friendless. if it were otherwise /r9k/ would have no posts.

short hair=love

God, this so hard

Can someone explain why every single board must have those shitty cringy /r9k/ reddit tier threads?
