Do you agree Love Is Blind?

[Anonymous]

Yes

No

[TheRealPepperPotts]

No, I don't. I think love sees more purely and clearly than anything else. Love sees us at our worst, and still chooses us. Love strips away our defenses, our hardness, our invulnerability and our apathy to let our pain cry. I've been attracted to guys and have been seen as attractive by guys before, but I only knew love when I was imperfect and still accepted and pursued.

Infatuation is when everything is perfect and the world at large couldn't be more wonderful. Love is when nothing is perfect and the world around us couldn't be any worse. Most people can and have experienced the first. But a person who has the grit to maintain their quality through the latter is not easily found.

Please note: I am not saying love permits abuse. Love has boundaries, too. :)

Often but not for me. I am to rational these days. My last relationship was the first one since I blocked myself from ever being love blind again and it was amazing because my love was real as a result.

The trick is to stop assuming or making excuses. When I was capable of being love blind it would be like *She does one kind gesture to a friend* "Oh thats nice she is so caring!" because you'd want this attractive person to have the qualities you seek and then you convince yourself they have them.

I noticed that's what I did so I stopped and only gave credit for real compatibility and actual extraordinary things. The love that comes from that is ever lasting, even if the person were to change to where it no longer applies the love remains for who they used to be.

This saying refers to times when a couple will ignore blame, faults, mishaps, flaws, burdens, etc, in their spouse, that others may be intolerant of.

It is when you love someone despite something about them not being ideal.

It happens in most relationships.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Yes in the sense that appearance matters less the more you love someone, No in the sense that attraction plays a huge role in that capability for romantic love (I honestly have no idea how it works, I’m asexual and have never felt sexually attracted to anybody).

[OlderAndWiser]

Love is deaf, dumb, blind, and smell-deaf!

[Hellraiser1984]

Love is a chemical reaction to the physical appearance of another human being. Then comes their wealth. That's it. No magic no cupid no happily ever after. That chemical reaction will fade when they disappoint you. I fall in love all the time but realize it's just chemicals making me feel that way. Then as I see how they are I reject them in my mind. Relationships are far too much of a hassle and too complicated these days for a healthy one to exist.

[abc3643]

That's a tad simplistic. That's because, even if we go with the "it's just chemistry" hypothesis, there is no simple chemical reaction involved, but many different ones. From a molecular dynamics / chemical kinetics perspective, it would be a large-scale statistical reaction and one this highly nonlinear and subject to additional chemical inputs (like pheromones).

That said, when you are in real love, you will understand. You have not been; that is apparent from what you have written.

[molonski2]

I'm convinced it is , because people believe what they wish to believe and are blinded to the facts , they don't want to see.

[Asker]

Yes, not many people want to admit that Love is blind these days.

[molonski2]

I think we have all been guilty of that , I have a friend her now , completely divorced from reality with what she ( wishes ) to believe.

[Asker]

Look what happened to Princess Diana. Her husband is a fool & had an affair with an older unattractive lady.

[LiamS95]

I agree with that, I could never understand Prince Charles leaving a beautiful, friendly, sexy and well
liked person like Diana for an ugly, self centered butch like Camilla.

[molonski2]

In the example given of course he was never in love with Diana , so much so that he , and his family had her killed and got her right out of the way , even in spite of his 1 only real son.
But yeah he loved the Wicked witch , who was married at the time.

[genericname85]

nope it's not. you don't randomly fall in love. there's always very particular criteria for that to happen. you may not be aware of them, cause some of them are subconscious but that doesn't mean they don't exist and therefore love is blind.

[MaxW1]

i don't get what you mean by blind but some people are blind and they can fall in love. . (ik it's irrelevant)

[ProbablyClueless]

I know/knew a lady who enjoys that series...

I've never seen it, myself, but the lady I knew had a real bitchy mean streak in her.

[Uglygaypoorcoward94]

Only God loves unconditional. Every human love comes from a lustful desire that turns into love over time. Notice the ugly and broken hearted souls that experience nothing but hatred and are unloved

[jshm2]

That's just fictional bullshit that sounds "romantic" in literature.

[Nikki1989]

No, we are in love and I know we SEE everything.

[Anonymous]

No. There’s a lot of ugly women out there I would never fall in love w.

[Asker]

Hahaha. There's a lot of ugly guys where I'm from, I rather stay single as a pringle.

[Opinion Owner]

Exactly. So no love isn’t blind. There’s no such thing as unconditional love either.

[Asker]

Got lots of people you go to certain different countries, you will be suprised.

[Opinion Owner]

Surprised about?

[Asker]

The unattractive ones getting the good looking ones

[Opinion Owner]

Oh yes I’m sure there are some.

[NicholasRedone]

Yes and that all our sixth senses are sometimes right 👍🏻

[WonderingManII]

Yes sometimes, but I never been completely in love.

[worldscolide]

Do i believe love is blind? No, Do i believe it can make you blind? hell yes.

[GAGsucksballs89170]

Love is like taking a dump. Sure it might hurt, but, once you get it out, you feel much better

[Anonymous]

I think that it is not love that is blind, but the lover who is blind.

[LiamJHayden]

Love is a choice. Infatuation and lust are blind.

[Shy_Steve]

Yes love is blind.

The problem is we can see.

[AnonAndrew]

Of course it's not.

[abc3643]

When it involves Stevie Wonder or Andrea Bocelli.

[Account]

Yes and completely irrational.

[Wise4myage]

Yes, I think it definitely can be.

[Communicationisking]

love or lust?

[jackramada]

I totally agree 👍

[ThigJack]

Love is not seel, dude, love is like pussy

[Anonymous]

I'd say love has dim glasses on, lol.

[TonyMetal___86]

Sometimes yes it is

[ienjoylookingatgreen]

[Bklynbadboy12]
