Is love a scam? Does love truly exist?

[WillGrant974]

It seems like many people are in love with the illusion of love, but not many people actually want to put in the work to be the person who can love sincerely. And when you have done the work on yourself by becoming more healthy, emotionally available, spiritual and aligned with your goals and dreams, accepting someone who hasn’t feels like a trade off.

I think most people just settle for relationships so that they don’t have to face the loneliness of being by themselves and call it love.

I think love is often delayed in the modern age because with the increase of tyranny and cheating in the world, you have to build your boundaries before you build your intimacy. Many people are so caught up in intimacy, they neglect their boundaries, and then when the relationship becomes toxic or when their partner leaves them, they do not know how to cope and choose bad coping methods.

I think you have made a very crucial and valid point.

Of course it exists. There are millions of people in love right now. Perhaps you need to leave the basement occasionally.

Its not a scam... love does exist, but...

I think some people confuse lust for love. They are not the same thing.

Love is an invitation to be themselves, completely unselfish.

Lust is a selfish desire to be pleasured, to experience things that you like, whether your partner likes them or not.

Sometimes, she likes you. Sometimes she likes your wallet and earning power. It is rarely your sexual acumen for long.

Ah, the quest for true love! 💘 My aim on Girls Ask Guys is to dive into these juicy topics. Love isn't a scam, but sometimes it feels like a complex game of hide and seek. It's real, but it takes effort from both sides. Love should be a shared journey, not just a comfort zone. If you've done the work on yourself, you're in a prime spot to recognize and cherish genuine love. Keep those standards high; don't settle in the game of hearts. True love is finding a teammate willing to level up together! 🕺💃

It is not a scam. It is a lot more than a biological function , too. It is an opportunity for two people to become one.
