True or False: there is no such thing as unconditional love?

[Chthou95]

Love between two people in a romantic sense will always be conditional. There's conditions to that love. You're loved under the condition that you provide value. I know a lot of people won't like this one but reality doesn't lie

True

False

True. I believe it is impossible for love to not to be conditional. We are entities that rely on optimal conditions. To not have conditions is to not be able to discern importance. And to not be able to discern importance is to fall prey to things that are not evolutionarily advantageous. Since it's our goal to survive & reproduce, we need specific optimal conditions. An unfathomable amount of them.

I’ve thought about this before, it’s quite interesting. “I love you unconditionally” is obviously untrue in most contexts, so you have to wonder what is actually meant in the saying of it. I think the explanation is something along the lines of unconditional love being granted according to a certain conception of a person: i. e., if you are who I think you are, I love you unconditionally, and if you do something which fundamentally alters who I think you are as a person, that love is forfeit.

[Chthou95]

Well done kid. Critically thinking about things 👍

[DaySpring]

Depends how you define love. Some people recently told me they define love as a choice and an act rather than a feeling.

[Chthou95]

@DaySpring That doesn't make it any less true

[LazerBean]

Very well put

[davado88]

actually it isn't interesting.
its puerile

[Sorrento-Sun]

True.

Conditional love means you establish health boundaries within a relationship.

Unconditional love means you'll love them regardless of what they to you or how they treat you.

I'm firecly loyal. But if someone I loved was disloyal in anyway at all, I'd end the relationship and fall out of love with them.

[dynamicyandere]

Unconditional love exists in terms of not requiring that they DO anything, but it does require that they BE something.


For example, a mother can love their child unconditionally, no matter how their child behaves. However it’s still requires that the child actually BE her child.


So someone can love someone unconditionally, no matter what they do. But there will always still be a requirement in terms of who they be — the identity of who they love.

[dynamicyandere]

it still requires*

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I’ve loved unconditionally. So I believe it exists. But I also think it’s extremely rare.

[Chthou95]

You didn't have any pre requisites for a guy before dating him?

[DaySpring]

Unconditional love in general does not exist. Even parents only love their kids because they are their kids and not someone else's kids.

Even with a dog there is no unconditional love. Cannot remove conditions from a conditional world.

[Anemone978]

False.. My husband loves me and I provide nothing for him LMAO

[Chthou95]

Keep telling yourself that 😂

[Billlewis]

There you go -- Exhibit 'A' -- a beautiful woman who, by her own admission, '... I provide nothing for him LMAO', and I can just about guarantee you that her husband is one of the happiest men on earth -- I know I would be;)

[Chthou95]

@Billlewis Keep kissing ass. Im sure she'll sleep with you at some point

[Billlewis]

I know this is hard for you to believe, but I'm not trying to get anyone to sleep with me or have sex with me. Just because that's what a lot of overtly attentive guys are attempting doesn't mean I'm trying to. These women are more than likely thousands of miles away, what would be the point?

[Anemone978]

Yes bud because I just sleep with randoms who hit on me or be nice to me.. I only fucked my husband.. so don't try to portray me as the type of women you sleep with..
Also the dumbass won't let me go because he loves me.. if he would just let go we would both probably be happier..

[Billlewis]

Oh my goodness.. you are literally a dream come true.. I wish I were married to you 8><3

[Anemone978]

@Billlewis Lmao you are hilarious

[Billlewis]

Yes, ma'am, because you're so mean. calling him a dumbass, etc. What weak beta male wouldn't love that?

[Chthou95]

Tell that to desperate ass simps who think being nice gets you to spread your legs

[Chthou95]

@Billlewis Why do it in the first place?

[Billlewis]

Why? Because it's so deeply satisfying and fulfilling to glorify the superior female regularly and purposefully.

[Chthou95]

@Billlewis You're responsible for why so many women who are 5 or 6s think they're 10s. The inflated egos are because of men

[Billlewis]

Well, I'm humbled by your lofty belief in me, sir;)

[Chthou95]

@Billlewis That's not a compliment

[Billlewis]

Yeah, yeah, yeah... like I didn't know that...

[Anonymous]

i think familial love is the most unconditional love over romantic or platonic for me, i love my friends but i can't imagine my life without my family no matter how much they piss me off, i know my family would always be there for me and likewise, even if they commit the most heinous crime and i hate them a part of me would still love them

[AydenHazor]

Unconditional love isn't a love that's solely based on how you feel toward a person, that will always be conditional. Unconditional love is choosing to love someone and show them love always regardless of how you feel toward them. It's a decision and an action more than just a feeling

[FreyaRed]

There is but it dies very soon after the person who loves unconditionally realizes it's one sided feeling. I can't speak about love of parents, because I don't have any experience in this stuff.

[LazerBean]

Well yeah, obviously. Only a retard would choose to love someone who isn't worth loving.

[Chthou95]

Love has requirements. That's reality

[LazerBean]

That's what I said

[Chthou95]

I made it more clear

[Kingofkings1992]

The only person that will love you unconditionally is your mother.

[Chthou95]

One could argue even that has conditions

[Kingofkings1992]

Yes.

[Billlewis]

I don't necessarily agree with that, although in most cases, it's probably true.

[Chthou95]

If love is unconditional why are there so many pre requisites you need to meet before that person gives you a chance to date them?

[Billlewis]

I'm not saying that it's not true 90% of the time, but if you love someone enough, you'll do almost anything for them, even if they're not giving you much in return.

[Chthou95]

That's a dog. Dogs love unconditionally. But humans dont work like that. Love has requirements

[genericname85]

yes there is. parents love their baby unconditionally.

[Chthou95]

I said in romantic sense

[genericname85]

Yeah not. That's all attached to conditions.

[Starrrboy]

Yes, there's always value.. even if it was just emotional support or they're fun to be around...

[LiamJHayden]

True. For starters any love requires the condition of the existence of the individual doing the loving.

[Luopio27]

Mostly true but few people, like 1/ in a million can love even if they become victims of monsters of your worst nightmares.

[WhiteSandyBeach]

There is, but only with your dog (s)

[Chthou95]

Got some critically thinking people here

[WhiteSandyBeach]

Thanks.

[Sasha0426]

Then there’s no need for relationships anymore.

[Chthou95]

Relationships are dead. Monogamy is dying

[Massageman]

Our dog has plenty!

[petera1987]

False, because there is.

[Meila]

That is only in movies.

[whistlingwh0res]

They want benefits or reward from action?

[Anonymous]

why would it be unconditional?

[Anonymous]

Not from women, true
