I believe that it's just a reaction but when you take that for what it is, it's still incredibly amazing. Just because love doesn't transcend biology and psychology doesn't mean it isn't meaningful. When you're in love and I mean REALLY in love, not some crush. Your brain is regularly flooded with seratonin, oxytocin and whole load of hormones and neurotransmitters. This is all due to your subconscious mind deeming certain traits and characteristics of your partner as being desirable which in itself is a combination of nurture through societal cues and nature through your DNA that has been moulded over hundreds of thousands of years... thats pretty amazing as far as im concerned and doesn't make love any less valuable. I think the idea of having a higher power guide you is a disgusting idea and isn't remotely romantic. You don't look at your sims sharing an autumn salad and think that them being together is romantic. They're only together because you clicked a few buttons to try and force a clone of yourself out of one of them before your original sim, who you based on yourself, dies
The divorce rate is over 50% because we as humans go off nothing but that chemical thinking it will last forever and when it wears off you find out you really had nothing in common, interests or even worse... you don't even like each other.
You have two question sand one poll answer... which question does the poll relate to?
Love may be explained physically with chemistry but that assumes we know everything about everything, and we don't. Love is more than a chemical reaction to someone who is near to you or in your life... if that were the case then love would fade through absence and distance and it doesn't necessarily. If it were true then it could be synthesised. If it were true then we;d love a lot more people than the "one" people claim.
When it comes down to the basic matter of fact, every feeling is just a chemical reaction, but that doesn't mean it's not worth anything. Love is still a very powerful thing in my opinion seeing as it's able to push people to both their best and their worst. The fact that there's nothing supernatural about it just makes it all the more impressive to me.
The release of adrenaline is a reaction to the environment. The sensation of fear is the sensation of adrenaline. However there had to be something to trigger its release. That is where I think true emotion lies. That is where I think love lies.
LOVE... My love. Lol is just a word. What truly matters is the CONNECTION and what you are willing do, give up and fight for that connection that you believe defines the word love for YOU. THAT... Is what love is.

I believe love is chemical because it means more. Before we knew what chemicals were we knew love meant something deep and profound and we've been trying to figure it out for years. The truth of the matter is, love can only be controlled by the heart and not the brain. Don't let science ruin the mystery and wonder of love. If we let science dictate everything we know, we are missing out on a lot of amazing and wondrous mysteries in life that help us develop our own independent opinions and grow more as people.
No i dont i watch em when closer even if not physically attracted to me a lot still melt when they see it it is four secomds once metting a female words or not say nothing they know amd it is a chemical war after thtt she is fighting some r tougher than othwrs. And know the trickery tht is throwm if men see it n they want to avoid em but dnt give in they fold for thealmighty i promise u that haha dont u
Based on your comments, I voted no. It's 'just a chemical'. The sun is 'just a fusion explosion in space'. Life is just a bunch of atoms following certain processes.
That doesn't make them fake. They're real. That's just the mechanism by which they work.
Depends on your definition oflove. Nowadays its the chemical and lust mixing. I mean when the first date usually ends with sexual relations compared to the rare kiss from years ago I think its just a shift in focus. Anyways it is nore than chemicals as it is a bond no matter what that bond entails
Its chemicals mostly, people like to make it extra for some reason; it dosent mean love is less just becouse its chemicals.
Yes just a bit. Only cause if you put those same chemicals inside something none living or other creature which most creatures do have the same chemicals we do they do not always behave the same way. It's also electrical impulses and waves in our brain and memory storage.
It's purely chemicals in your brain in my opinion, but that doesn't make it anything less. There are plenty of animals that stay with one mate for their lifetime, maybe that is a kind of love too. I don't believe there is any higher power for anything.
Lust and initial attachment are chemical.
Love is a choice that we make every single day. It's commitment.
It's chemicals. It's like drugs. It makes you feel wonky. That's why teenagers are like hamsters on coffee.
Just down a bottle of alcohol and you will sing like a bird and act like an idiot. What else could make people do that? Love?
Chemicals have a huge role but some things are just beyond that. The ability to read each other's minds and feel when something is wrong when your partner in life is miles away. The energy generated by love transcends the limits of the body.
Chemicals are released to make you feel happy when you find love, it's an evolutionary reward system for finding someone to have children with. Most of the happiness comes from chemicals, but the attraction is real too.
I believe that true love is transcendent, mystical.
It is mostly chemicals, but I like to think it's more than that.
Love is a feeling, whatever we feel is inside our brain. But I strongly believe that Universe has a plan for us.
Chicken and Hen. We know that love is accompanied with certain chemicals. The question is - do those chemicals cause love? Or do they get released as a result of love?
Personally I think it is the later.
Hormones play a huge part yes. But so does the brain. All the emotional and sensations we exhibit are the direct result of the function of the nervous/endocrine systems.
Hard to say anything is even real or special when it's all just chemical reactions to begin with.
No. Love is a chemical reaction, meant to progress the species through reproduction. That's that. Is it nice to be in love? Hell yeah. The right man/woman will make your life amazing.
No. It's also a collection of other neuroses which are probably also just chemicals. But, different chemicals. K thanks bye
I no longer believe in love so I don't think it's anything.
