I needed the update to decide.
Chemical reactions are involved but those aren't the only involved if it were like that I could use some chemical product to use with it and I would become millionaire just to a gold digger uses that product with me and I would give her all the money.
Now seriously, there are many factors to take into account and I would say chemical isn't the most important.
Yes. Both. Being a chemical reaction makes no less real. Nearly every emotional response experienced is directly correlated with a chemical reaction, i. e. hormones. Without the appropriate responses, some sensory information be would just about pointless to experience.
Chemical reactions are real, and falling in love is more than one of those, there's the chemical reaction of love, commitement, loyalty, respect, care, protection, and wanting a good stable happy life, chemical reaction of the pursuit of happiness pretty much.
All those are only a small part of falling in love, and if they're true, they'll stay there.
It's a very real chemical reaction at least, real enough that we suspend our better judgment and alter our lives to fit around the other person, and therefore it is not to be trusted. Apparently it's great while it lasts but then it ends, often painfully, leaving you to pick up the pieces. I'd rather just opt out of the whole cycle.
All of our thoughts and decisions are a chemical reaction, especially since sexual dimorphism in our species both hinders and increases emotional connection. It's a combination of emotional infatuation and sexual arousal.
Basically, at the core, a romantic partner is just a best friend you wanna fuck. There's a reason people refer to a couples compatibility as "chemistry."
It's both actually real if you believe in it and chemical reactions inside brain.
All animals looks for a mate.
In a certain age, which makes sense right!.
Falling for someone are urge to mate, and humans are social so we want to know more about them which brings curiosity.
All in all chemical reactions are responsible.
LUST is a chemical reaction.
Love happens when you accept the person's flaws, pros and have the same goals/dreams. You deal with problems when it gets tough. You see them for who they are and you STILL want to be with them.
The answer is simple to the scientific materialist.
All lofty emotions have a basic biological root ie It's a ruse to ensure lifelong mating bonds for the furtherance of genes.
Therefore, love is not real.
It's all chemical reactions, emotions are just that and nothing more. What makes love something more is the effort you put into to.
Depends. If you're emotionally healthy then love would form as a real thing. But if you're mentally unstable, love would be a form of insecurity. Sometimes to most of us, love is the familiarity of crap we went through when we were kids, either through parents or someone who smothered us in an unhealthy way. But to answer, love can't happen without associating happy hormones and triggered hormones since that's the only thing that make us want to spend time with the person who we "love".
It depends what do you adress love as.
When you love a humanbeing, a child, the nature, an animal, the Almighty it's real
When you love someone that has some sort of compatility criteria or that someone qualifies to some terms and conditions in your thoughts its chemical flux.
Well it starts with looks so that the pleasure of taste, the biological part is part looks but how they smell and all that stuff. Then come personality and what you admire and all that. So I would it say it's purely chemical, but it's part of it. Sometimes you get attached to someone that you have nothing in common with and are totally wrong for you, so that's the chemistry. But the rest must be there or there would be no value in it.
Mostly a chemical reaction.
Once the honey and sweetness pass, what you have would be family.
It's not going to be explosive or hot or insatiable, just family. You stick together. You fight each other but you will stick together.
Everything is physics, and predetermined by the past. Of course love is a chemical reacion and stuff. You don't *see* or *sense* any feelings do you (?), exept chemicals in teh brain. Fate is real and is constantly proven to be true by the way.
Given that your entire conscious experience is created by chemical reactions in the brain I don't exactly see how that discounts its realism. It is a chemical reaction in the brain and that is what makes it real.
Love as romanticized is a chemical reaction.. Commitment (end game of "true" love) is a choice. The answer? The chemical reaction should be worth the commitment?🤷♀️
The chemical reaction that is happening is super random. Have you ever fallen for someone that wasn't available? Or wasn't right for you? It really shouldn't be involved at all with LOVING SOMEONE. You are basically getting high.
Falling in love may be a chemical reaction, but staying in love is a choice.
My grandparents were married sixty eight years before my grandfather passed away this past month, and they loved each other dearly until the very end.
Chemical reactions always wear off so was the chemical reaction really love or just a super attraction reaction in your brain? In the end aren't we falling in love with someones values and standards? Many people don't even have the chemical reaction called "falling in love" and they have prosperous lives together.
It's connected, our soul and our body work things out in one big hot mess
That was deep haha
I agree that it has to do with something related to the soul
What's your definition of real? If anything, the fact that it involves chemicals in the brain proves that it's real! There's nothing magical about it, if that's what your asking, so it involves chemicals. It's a natural, real thing.
So If I get a chemical reaction for Girl A and not Girl B then why not? chemicals are letting me know that I am attracted to Girl A... doesn't necessarily mean it's LOVE does it?
Well if you don't really know the girl, then that's mostly just lust. I think love involves knowing someone for awhile and becoming attached to them.
The chemical reaction is more then just lusting after a hot chick. You feel things you don't normally feel everyday. Those chemicals aren't for everyone... hell they even happen with people you scratch your head and say... WTF why her. Do you need that chemical reaction "butterflies" to fall in love with someone?
I think you do. I mean, any feeling of emotion requires an activation of chemicals in the brain. And love causes intense feelings and happiness for someone by just thinking about them.
Agree to disagree.. thanks for the comments dude!
Sure thing
I think that falling in love is something one person does- rising in love is something that couples do- but in my experience it’s virtually impossible for 2 people to share the same interest in one another at the same time... and even if they say they do... one person is almost always lying.
The chemical responsible was isolated about 8yrs ago i forget its name.
Its real... I can love people for real.
I can love my son and my future husband.
Its a different love that i have for different people.. But its still luv.
That is a tricky question a chemical reaction is technically real and so is love
I feel like the attraction and giddiness about another can be more a chemical reaction, but actually falling in love seems real to me.
Lust is probably the chemical reaction part that usually doesn’t last long just like when you say things during sex you probably don’t really mean but it’s during the moment, real love stays with you and hurts when it’s over
Wait...
If a Chemical Reaction occurs...
& It is really happening & Being Experienced...
Isn't that Still considered "Real"?
Of course that is real but is it love? or is it an addiction? or something else? That's the real argument.
Love is a development of affection over time. Trust, mutual respect, comfort and attraction are all key components and are all needed to keep that bond. One without the others is not fully love.
Hen and egg. The question is - does the chemical reaction cause the love? Or is the love the cause of the chemical reaction?
Also thereis the question if there might be different kinds of love that need to be differentiated.
Dont know why it being a chemical reaction would somehow make it not real...
It's not magic, if thats what you mean.
read the other comments, don't want to spam the same reply. thanks
Ctrl C + Ctrl V
Probably would have been faster, than typing that :)
Everything what you feel and expirience is basically a chemical reaction in your brain... It doesn't make it less real.
Yes it's true but how we name the reactions is what puzzles me. If you try heroine and get hooked is that a chemical reaction of you falling in love... with heroine? No we call that an addiction.
Love is basically an addiction aswell though... love sickness is pretty much cold turkey from these hormones.
That is why I asked... is it real? Just because someone has named this chemical reaction "falling in love" does that mean it is?
Chemical reactions are real.
I am not saying they aren't real. Of course they are real. Naming these reactions are what I am questioning. Thanks for the comments.
Well you could call it being addicted to another person if this suits you better...
I’d say everything is a chemical reaction in the brain. Love is a chemical reaction in the brain, specifically to better facilitate evolutionary means related to mating in my belief.
Aren't all emotions just chemical reactions in the brain? Just because it's a chemical reaction, does that make it any less real? Fear and anger and happiness are all chemical reactions too
It's real. Being in love releases several chemicals in the brain. They don't increase before love hits.
ugh the age old question what is love...
baby don't hurt me, no more... <.3
Why do people keep singing this song lol
Well, because i think we all have felt the same
lol this is true
It's definitely a chemical reaction in the brain like most feelings. They are all generated through the nervous system and the feeling of love is no different.
However it sure can feel real.
I’m unlovable reject that no girl wants more than a friend
It’s a chemical reaction in the brain for sure!
Because if falling in love with people was real. There wouldn’t be so much abuse and infidelity in most relationships!
If you were really in love you’d feel your partners feelings like your own. So it’s not real if you can hurt your partner!
Love is bullshit to sell you dumb ass shit to buy for someone who doesn't need it. Like diamonds and chocolates or flowers. You wanna know what love is? Having respect for yourself and those who treat you with the same kind of respect.
LOL everyone's opinion on the subject is valid!
If you just concentrate on the feelings caused by the chemical reaction, then the relationship has no future and will break down when you stop feeling the feelings (the chemical differences only last for a while in most people). True live is about choice - you actively choose to live for the other person and do sacrifices, even on days when you don't feel anything.
I wish this question would just disappear already. It’s been on my feed for like 30 years
It's supposed to expire August 30th, 2019.
Ahhh
Just kidding... should be gone soon!
Lololol
Falling in love is a crazy feeling.. It can't be explained.. if its just a chemical reaction it would have been easy to get out of love
Can't it be both? Isn't a chemical reaction something real and physical? It's not like you fall in love with everyone and maybe that makes it inherently special.
It sprouts within brain to due chemical reaction. And it is indeed real reaction.
Why to bother, enjoy love
Literally every emotion and thought you have ever had was an electrochemical reaction in the brain.
That doesn't make it any less real.
Just a flaw of humanity. Love can be sweet but it never lasts forever. It’s nice but only to break you down in time
Mate... The issue I see here is to consider whatever is scientific like a mechanism and out of meaning
Why?
love is real, and what a chemical process in our brain have to do with it to make it unreal?
It cause the secretion of dopamine that gives a temporary euphoria feeling and also the sex that makes you feel better and satisfied
Definitely a chemical reaction. I gave up on the whole “true love” bullshit long ago because it simply doesn’t exist
How can you determine that it doesn't exist? There is no possible way you have experienced a relationship w/every compatible mate.
I’ve experienced enough to know it’s not worth trying anymore
Well, there's nothing like having someone who you can share everything with. Someone that's compatible. I believe it's better when a person doesn't try so hard to find that someone. Don't give up though
Is fire real or is it a rapid oxidation of a material in the exothermic chemical process of combustion?
It doesn't matter, as long as you're happy and virtuous. Without the ability to love or care for another, are you even human?
I've wondered about this quite a bit. It drifts a bit into the ghost in the machine territory. I think it is real love but certainly colored by a certain lens.
I believe love is real just rare to find a partner that you just click with and are willing to stick with it
Even if it is a biochemical reaction that doesn't mean love isn't real. If anything it explains how love works and why it's so important and innate in us to want to fall in love.
Everything we see, hear and feel is biochemistry but that doesn't make it less real if real means it's there.
If it's done right, it's deep enough that it doesn't wear off. It gets better and if each partner invests heavily in keeping things fresh and interesting and if you communicate well, it only grows.
It is real, I still love people i haven't seen in a long time. I never fell out of love. If you fall out of pove you never felt love, you just felt physical attraction
Chemical reaction that causes the feelings, so the feelings are real, but caused by the chemical reaction
Every single emotion we have is a chemical reaction in the brain. This does not mean they aren't somehow real.
I think that person you'd fall in love with (mostly) you'd remain in love with, I think it's real, I also believe in the chemical reaction but god that one person (if you truly love them) would always be the reason those chemicals keep happening.
its a chemical reaction triggered by several different kinds of stimuli, in short its not a simple answer. However, I do believe that true love is real and there is only one person that we are really compatible with.
Try that it has enough with parameters triggered.
Many misses one key part to totally fall.
That the other one also have to seal it to trigger the last one. humans can feel that one since it is sub communication through energy.
Also forgotten that it is involuntary emotions that we didn't choose in the more shallow parts of our countion of our subconscion or our counion.
