Are men capable of love?

[omgwtflol]

I am watching the movie "The Ugly Truth" and I am curious...

Are men actually capable of love?

If yes or no, what is your reasoning?

Let me clarify, before I get mobbed, this is not a personal attack on men, it was a question posed in the movie and I figured I would ask on here. So cool your jets. Please and thank you.

Yes, men are capable of love. Women just as a group tend to try and love the men who don't love them back, hence badboys. It would just appear that men don't want to love, just because most women chase after men who are exciting and unsuitable for long-term relationships. Men who are capable of love should not be blamed for the majority of women who continue to chase after players. Honestly, look around on GAG, how many times does a girl's question start out "so there's this guy I know, he's a bit of a player, but who do I get him to like me?" and on and on it goes. Girls despise love from men who are lovable and then project that on to all men, when the a**hole they shouldn't have been dating in the first place doesn't commit.

haha veryyy true >.< I think they just hate to admit that haha

[TheUglyOne]

Nope. I'm just faking it with my wife and stepdaughter. It's all just an act we do. To get in her pants. See, the male brain doesn't have a limbic system, instead we have an enlarged R-complex which is why we're so mean, and incapable of love.

Sheesh, has there never even been a single male in your life who showed any kind of love to you or anyone?! You really believe we can't love? Damn!

[Koldhearted]

how's working on the step daughter going?

[omgwtflol]

I believe some are capable, and that the aforementioned "some" is few and far between.

To 'Love' is about the one you love receiving Love.. It is not about you or your preferences. it is not self serving or self righteous. it is not a thing to be doled out. love is alive. love exists where it is received/ experienced/ felt/ related. to not feel it is to not have it. it is not a mater of opinion. it is an entity between live beings. it has its own energy. love is not your interpretation of love. r. it is love. love is love. now how you love. it is not at your mercy/ love is its own power to think it is a matter of opinion, is have absolutely no experience in love.

you may have the ability, but you're completely unaware of it.. its not been discovered by you.

[toulouse]

oh in response to the anon who blocked me. not surprised by that at all.

@Of course we are. We just don't love in the same way that women do.

[redsunrising]

I wouldn't take any lessons about life, dating, or quality men in general from "The Ugly Truth" seriously. It was a pretty crappy movie with fairly misogynistic undertones.

To answer your question, men are absolutely capable of love.

[omgwtflol]

Yet again, not taking it seriously, I was watching the movie and figured I would post a question.

[redsunrising]

I did see your update, but my statement still stands. That movie may have posed this question, but considering how bad that movie was, it's hardly a question worth asking. The answer is obvious, isn't it?

[omgwtflol]

It was just a question, if it was stupid to you, you didn't have to answer it. I actually think its a cut movie. Unrealistic but cute.

[redsunrising]

I meant no harm by it, that movie just rubbed me the wrong way. I thought both lead characters seemed to represent the worst stereotypes about either gender. It did have a few genuinely funny moments, though.

I didn't mean to offend you, your question isn't stupid.

books about love have been published for decades. women were not allowed to publish until the 1900s. so men at lest think about it a great deal. but can they love. can one love when his object of affection is treated like an object,

[taster]

Raise Hell Kyra!...<3<3<3=D

[toulouse]

Hey you ;-)

[rogaortega]

yes there was a guy who loved rubbing against balloons. Saw a lot of love between the two.

[Koldhearted]

i think asking if women are capable of love is a more appropriate question

[Koldhearted]

I still think it's a better question to ask if women are capable of love even after your update

why not ask that, considering it's always trying to win her over, win her heart, win this, win that, etc

[omgwtflol]

Not every woman is like that, most are, I'll give you that, but not all.

[kdizzleforizzle91]

All men are capable of love. Social rules just dictate that they shouldn't show it as openly as women. That's just a cultural thing really.

[GAG1989]

my parents have been married 27 years. you do the math

[GAG1989]

if your trying to "just get points" there should be no reason to be on the site. if you're going to troll, go on yahoo answers

[omgwtflol]

I'm not trolling I just hadn't asked a question in a few days and thought this might spark a discussionnot a ddissertation on how movies aren't reality, I am not a child I know it was just a movie.

[GAG1989]

how come it took me accusing you of being a troll (which you are one of course) for you to reply to me. why couldn't you just simply reply to my original answer, ass

[omgwtflol]

Ass? I was unaware that I had t reply to every comment. congratulations on you parents marriage. It was a harmless question. Not trolling just figured it would be a harmless question. Me personally I don't believe every man is capable of love nor do I believe every woman is. Did really think people would lose their sh*t over my question, some people just take this site way more serious than others I suppose.

[taster]

I have no reasoning...yes...I am capable of love...(:(:(:

[taster]

@Update..I do not mind you asking your Question in the least...er...but it is not an easy Question to answer? Do males & females feel, think or view "love" in the same manner?

[omgwtflol]

Oh I agree that men and women view love very differently. I don't expect a man to love the same way or even anyone to love the same way I do but I figured if I put the question out there I might get some interesting reasonings.

[taster]

I have no problem...with you...Or your Question...<3<3<3=D

[AndyWes]

Are men capable of love? Yes.

Are women capable of rational thought?

[froggyrob]

Umm men are def very capable of love... easy question.

[Anonymous]

Of course they are. The movie is just that...a movie. It's not real life. Men are human beings, too, so they're capable of love.

[Anonymous]

If she isn't crazy insane and keeps me emotionally and physically satisfied then yes my love will last.

[Heretic]

"I am watching the movie..." - Say no more. Get your head out of that made up fantasy world and into reality.

[Anonymous]

What kind of question is this? Absolutely ridiculous.

[Anonymous]

Of course we are. We just don't love in the same way that women do.

[Light_Yagami]

Anyone is capable of anything.
