Yes we can, however a comedian once said that men and women fall in love in different ways and how women's love is more... 'real' than men's love. I'd like to edit that opinion slightly and say that women's love is more intense.
When women love it involves everything lol Women in love literally give everything over to the man.
I like to think of it as, we all walk around carrying heavy stones and these stones represent our responsibilities and the burdens in life that hold us down and tear us up. Each year another stone gets added..
images.clipartof.com/.../...ree-Vector-Clipart.jpg
When man and woman get together, she looks for a strong man who can carry her stones easily leaving her free to skip around like a young girl again lol
No woman is more happy than a woman in love for she is physically and emotionally free.
A man's role is to release her of the things in life that tear her down and to be her council and company, it is our goal to cultivate the best in her and keep her emotional load light so that she an be like a little girl again.
The role of a woman is the role of that which brings solace to the male heart. To bring the man quiet of mind so that he can forget the stones that he carries.
The thing about Alaskan Malamute's is that in their nature they are designed to pull loads. If you stop them doing so, they turn on those that love them. Your job as their keeper is to provide them comfort and solace after they have worked.
The role of male and female is different and so the way we express love is different. The trick is to understand each others way of expressing love and not to expect our other half to express love the way we do because then we are limiting ourselves to the spectrum of love which is so broad and vast.
We know this because every animal expresses love in a different, some dance, some sing, but all produce something from themselves to another.
That's at the root of Love.40 Reply

The way men and women love each other is not quite the same, so can seem 'fake' to the other (since it's not how we feel love).235 Reply- +1 y

@lanternhill
I'm going to overstate it to make the point clear. In significant ways we are the same. Just trying to make the distinction clear here.
- for women, romantic love tends to involve more aspects of respect or admiration.
- for men, romantic love tends to involve a much greater aspect of wanting to protect and cherish.
Both are 'valid' and I think both are fulfilling. But I also think it can cause confusion. To women, male love can seem patronizing. Women ask much more often if male partners respect them because to them that's part of love. They are uncomfortable with the fact men can love women without particularly respecting them. As for men, to us it can feel like women don't just love 'us', they only love what we can do for them or others. Because women don't need to accomplish things for us to love them, their love can seem fake to us.
317 opinions shared on Guy's Behavior topic. Oh they do. My boyfriend fell hard for me and nearly two years on, he can't stop himself from kissing me and saying he loves me. He buys me food and presents all the time and he often just watches me in admiration whilst I watch tv. If I'm unhappy, he'll leave work and come to cheer me up and despite being stupidly busy, he always makes time for me. If that's not a sign he loves me, I don't know what is!
Both my ex's loved me, I believe. They both wanted to get married to me and thought I was the one so I think they loved me. My boyfriend thinks I'm his soulmate/the one too.
Aside from those, nearly every guy has the capacity to feel love, it just takes the right girl to make them feel it and once they do, they're often the first to fall in love and fall hard. I often feel that girl's are the most hurt after break ups but I'm starting to think men feel it worse, but hide it better. I understand exactly why you feel this way but you'll realise that men do fall in love.10 Reply
Yes!! Even more often than girls do. That's why they're so famous in the cheating department, they fall in love too easily for certain things... like one single guy could be in love with this girls voice, that same guy is in love with this other girls boobs, and that same guy is in love with this other girl's legs, and that same guy is in love with this other girls mouth.. etc.. haha of course not all guys, but most fall in love too easily and call fall out of it just as soon as the next girl approaches.

+1 yI think the word love is such a vague term and we all experience love differently. Yes everyone can fall in love, yet in their own way. None of us have the right to compare how someone expresses their love compared to the way we do. We are all unique in our own way and just have to learn the ways that the other person expresses their love. Stop looking for specific love signs that we are taught to look for but take the time to get to know him look for how he shows his feelings (or her).

+1 yYes. In fact, many studies show that while many of us men are more "reserved" on the outside, we fall harder and more quickly for a woman than women tend to.
I do not feel as if I've been in love yet. Most of my relationships didn't last long enough, and my feeling is, these girls weren't kind enough for me to develop some sort of illogical, deep, emotional bond. You probably won't fall for a person who starts cheating on you within a month of you dating, or who screams at you for random things that others would consider "sweet" "kind" or "loving." or are bad from the start.
I have had huge crushes, and ones that have lasted a LONG time, and crushes I'll never forget, but I see them as... huge crushes, not "first loves". I have loved and still do, but as hobbies or interests, or as a Christian, or family, but not romantic. I have no "blood relationship" brothers, but I have guys I love as if they were my real brothers.
I say that the love part, the genuine (romantic) love part, for me, would take time, but probably be more "real" than the super dramatic month long relationships.00 Reply
+1 yDon't know because I haven't, but it is the one thing I want more than anything else in the world so I'll be pretty flipping disappointed if it ain't possible.
Well actually it's all about perception. I could be a guy saying "Yeah baby I'm in love and it's awesome". That would be my perception or opinion of my feelings and relationship, but others might think "wtf that ain't love man your relationship is shallow as flip - you like her because she's damn hot, and she likes you because your rich". Love.. how can that concept even be spoken of in general terms when you think on it? Everybody will have their own individual feelings on the principle, and how it works for them, what it is to them.. if it's possible for them, if it's possible at all. It's not something that can be spoken of factually.. not at all really.
I mean factual statements can be made of the chemical reactions that take place that cause people to be attracted to each other and to possibly find themselves in a situation in which they might possibly believe they are in love. That's where you get into biology and you're talking about chemical reactions though. The concept of love, the principle of love however you want to call it, that in itself can't really be spoken of in factual terms.
Short version - The answer is complex and complicated and not at all constant. It's upto you.. or whatever guy you date, what the answer is really.. I suppose.00 Reply1.8K opinions shared on Guy's Behavior topic. Honey if you want to know the truth, women's have 1 brain in their heads , but men's have 2 brain one in head and other between the leg the dick, when it comes to women , it they cannot decide on one because their are 2 brains , dick wants the one which is sexy and hot with pleasure , and real brain wants the lovely, admirable, beautiful one , the trick is to figure out with which brain the boy is thinking at that moment because the thinking from actual brain and dick change time to time according to conversation , surrounding etc. If you want to make him think from brain meet him alone and sober, you want him to think with his dick , add some alcohol, baby right now I am thinking with my dick that is why I am splashing this key into your hands.

+1 yIt's quicker for us to fall in lust, due to how where made and all that, no excuses though I am embarrassed for my wants and being a guy cause of how primal it is when we should be far more evolved by now but I don't think that's going to happen.. and a lot of guys think this means they love someone while wanting someone so bad until both people realize he never did and then it's awkward. I think it's faaar more likely for a guy to fall in love when he's been a friend of a girl for a long time and you guys talk often, however these guys usually end up in this zone instead so things don't really ever happen with them.

+1 yOh, absolutely! Men fall deeply, madly, passionately and permanently in love. There can be no doubt... However, most guys need to be in a place in life where they're ready for that kind of love. Otherwise, they tend to block out the possibility... or they choose to fall for the wrong girl because -- deep down -- they know it won't work out. If you want a guy to fall in love with you, ask each new boyfriend material kind of guy if he's open to that kind of relationship before you invest too much of yourself in lots of dates with him. If he's not interested, drop him quickly. He'll never go the distance with you.

+1 yNo. People can only fall into lust. Loving requires effort.
But to answer your question, have you seen guys get excited about a sports game? Have you seen them plan out their next fishing trip? What about hunting? All of those things are only small fractions of insight into the devotion and commitment they are capable of giving to another girl. A girl is much better than any game, trip, vacation etc. And if a guy gets his priorities straight he can initiate a thrilling relationship that lasts a full lifetime. The problem is is that boys are conditioned to waste their time on things that don't matter :(00 ReplyYeah, of course men can fall in love.

30 Replyof course they do, unless you thought guys aren't human.. then in that case they won't, but that would also mean girls aren't human either.. and so on and so forth.. you shouldn't stereotype guys just because theirs a lot of arseholes around, some are really great people :P
30 ReplyWe do, sometimes too much, rejection and broken hearts cause some guys to feel they have to be an ass to every other girl they meet to get any attention or be loved, due to the fact they were hurt by one.
This doesn't always apply, but I've encountered more than enough instances of it.22 Reply- +1 y
Precisely. There are several types of asses, those who haven't had much luck with girls in the past who turn out to be the type you mentioned, persistent and annoying and then aggressive. And there are those who get lots of attention because they are good looking etc and act like an ass in a different way, sleep and dump because love is for losers when you can have whatever you want.
Guess it depends on the circumstances.
+1 yOnly if he is totally into your FACE. You can gain or lose weight, color or cut your hair, and even be a dumb as a rock. BUT: You MUST have a FACE he is absolutely crazy about. This is why women with BEAUTIFUL FACES ALWAYS get and keep the guy. For women with less than beautiful faces, the man will only be able to fall in love with her if his is UGLIER than she is. You MUST use the "10 Scale" system". If the woman has a "10" face, the guy must look like a GQ Model. If the woman's face is a "6", the guy MUST have a face lower than a "6". The woman must ALWAYS be at least equal or better (preferably) looking than the man in order for the man to truly fall in love with her.
10 ReplyYes we are human after all like plentey people have said so far, but the thing is that genreally sepaking men do not feel as a deaper sense of love as women do. Men can fall in love and it may not really be in the same way that women fall in love in some forms of expression.
10 ReplyAnswer: YES.
Reason: (with a question..) Can Girls really fall in love?
2nd Reason: If both genders like each other and start dating then it is called love but the real question is how long will it last? a month? a year? It depends on how attracted the guy is to the girl.10 Reply
+1 yYes we can, well the ones that aren't assholes can
, assholes are usually the ones that have complicated and short love lives, where as the "nice guy" or the guy no one fucking likes will try to keep that relationship going because they want it to last. So to answer your question yes some guys can fall in love10 Reply
+1 yYup we can. Most of us don't show it though, but sometimes we just need a little push and a bit of a good mood to open up. Or some like me that need to be cracked open with a nutcracker to show them.
But yeah we can. Weirdly enough it's possible.
:)10 Replyyes absolutely, im just out of a break up, i loved my girlfriend when she was with me and i still love her now. she walked out on me for another guy and that left me thinking the same thing about girls. guys love, when guys love that girl is they are his life, men break heard after a break up with there love, thats why they tend to protect themselves from that pain again. so it takes longer for a guy to fall in love but it is a vary strong bond when it happens.
vary interesting question. hope this helps.00 ReplySo i rejected like 100 random hot girls in highschool end up dating a girl who had a big crush on me never notcie her till i heard her sing. Had our first kiss the 24th of this month could not sleep for a week. Afew works later we were forced to broke up over a Facebook fight. She cried every night i tried fighting for her all most got locked up 2 times lol for what? If guys could not fall in love i would have left the guy alone n finded a new girl. So hell yes guys can fall in love n its 10x stronger then what girls feel.

Love is not an easy word and its not hard it just something u can expect or force your self into it.

+1 yYes men can really fall in love. In my opinion men feel the pain of having thier heart broken to a greater degree than women do. Women tend to remarry quickly after divorce men will often stay single lamenting the loss of thier wife for years. There was this girl who broke my heart about 4 years ago who I was deeply in love with. It took me 4 years to get over it and move on to another woman. There is this saying that goes around my circle. "Women fall fast men fall hard"

That would be because the single mother demographic tend to choose not to remarry until the kids are independent.
+1 y0_o Are you an alien doing research on humans? Well... yes they can. It depends on a lot of factors that influence social behavior while younger. But generally, there are those who are sentimental, and those who're not. Those who are sensitive and those who're not. Gender is just not befitting to classify in such matters. No shitstorm here.

Anonymous(30-35)+1 yDon't think anyone can fall in love because it's not a real thing. Everyone's just terrified of loneliness and so we put increasingly powerful labels on our relationships just so we can get further and further away from it.
Or we're all just searching for things we'd like to hump (if you're a man) or the perfect genetics for our children (if you're a woman), and "love" is just a concept we apply on top of that to make it more concrete (stable families and more humping).10 Reply

This is proved by the new research done by the official university of Nevada where they asked 10 men about their dream woman and mutated til they had these women and let them get to know each other, after 3 years there are still no signs of love, proving that guys can in fact NOT fall in love.

I mean I would go far to get accepted by this girl. I mean I would make many changes about myself to make this happen. It's just I have to jump over the fire and try to ask her out. ^_^00 ReplyYes, and it can destroy us for the rest of our lives. It is like we are Superman and love - especially a failed love leading to a broken heart is like being buried in kryptonite. Years or decades can be wasted because of that. So, when you realize a boy or man loves you, take it seriously and don't be fickle.
00 ReplyYes of course they can! Guys are just as human as girls and just as capable of feeling emotions and love, they just tend to have different ways of expressing their love compared to girls. Girls are more feelings oriented (not to say that guys are not, but girls tend more towards their feelings) and guys are more action oriented in showing their love in ways other than words and feelings.
