Love between a man and a woman is the set of brain chemicals that make young people do stupid things.
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
What is Love?
- Thread starter B-Lemond
- Start date
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Even bible boy over here agrees. Like I said biochemicaly no different from eating large quantities of chocolate. A fact that has been scientifically proven.

you coudlnt eat the amount of chocalte it would take to replicate love in a month.
then you have to consider the commitment, memories, friendship, loyalty, goals...I could go on and on.

What I don't get is that does love exist elsewhere? Are we as humans the only being on this earth that feels this so called "love" feeling?
What point would we have in having a mate if love didn't bind us? All of you have seen it's results when love fails. People get divorced, there are fathers who would have no part with their children but are forced to by law.
There is no love there and yet when there is love it allows people to find a way to stay together, work things out and raise children.
Animals find a way to take care of their offspring as do any other form of living creature on this earth. How do they find a way to do it?
One thing I will never understand is how people will not even look at the similarities between life that exists. That because we have the ability to type, speak and read that somehow we are that much more superior to anything else on this planet.
Animals fight, animals take care of their children and provide for them in the same manner a human would, animals "cheat" on their mates as well. Yes it does happen and yet it won't matter what amount of knowledge or information you bestow upon people, if they believe in something, nothing you say will change that.
Love may just be a word invented by mankind to express the feeling two people "share" or to express the bond of two people. Then if that were true, what binds people? what makes the difference between one person and another? what purpose is there for relationships and of having gf's? Why bother with it at all? Why? Do we actually have a choice? Or is it something that takes over us?

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

There is a big diffrence from what we had in the begging to what we belive love is now. The way love is portrayed the way people talk about love is nothing its bullsh*t it's fake.
I never said that 2 people cant have very strong feelings towards eachother. Although those feelings are just chemicals in you're brain i never said i dont belive in them.
Anyway this is a pointless argument there will always be people liek you and there will always be people like me. We would be arguing to no end so fu*kup about it.

Swedish then you should no this better than most. It has been scientifically proven that eating large quantities of chocolate causes the exact same chemicals to be released in the brain that are released when a person is in "love". Giving the exact same feeling......no wonder women "LOVE" chocolate.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

yo black italian, maybe youre being a little too cold about love, and have never truly experienced what it feels like, or you might just have a cold view on love....some people are like that, and no it doesnt mean youre less passionate about life or whatever, its just the way you are. and to other people love might be the strongest, most wonderful emotion one can experience....my point dont argue with another person, when theyre sharing their view about love, and that goes to the other person arguing as well.
Anyways, actually up until a couple of weeks ago I thought that i was never going to need a woman and i was never going to get married, that it was just a waste of time and energy... just like DJhoolaloop was saying, theres got to be a binding force to realize that we would be better off if we had the other half. Im not saying im in love right now, but ive deffintly been experiencing emotions like it, or so i think. Now i really do have a different view on marriage and a couple being together, and how much better the right woman would make me. its hard for me to see myself 15 years into the future, without a wife or a companion.
that quote that was in the first page that said love is an illusion that makes a woman different from others... thats quite a genuis quote. This girl that ive been seeing, even tho shes about an 8.5 makes me feel things that a 9.9 wouldnt...and in my eyes this 8.5 would be a lot better than a 9.9 anyday. so love might be an illusion, it might be for the weak, a creation of hollywood(yea hollywood played with your head and hollywood developed one of the best emotions a human can experience) or whatever else label it might get..... i think its worth it

thats exactly how I feel.
you said need her.
I said I needed my women and I got flamed.
but i Know you understand exactly where Im coming from.....having her there creates a balance and adds things to my life...to only make it that much better.

wtf are u talking about?????
stop comparing love to chemicals.....
we all know over a short time 6 months to 2 yrs..you adapt to it..and that high is gone..but will re-surface occasionally.
love is more than lust.
so u lust your family and friends? NO!
its the same concept with a women..just on a differnt level.
also the chemicals in your brain that spark what we call love..are NOT mentall imprints..which means thats not real emotion..the emotion you feel towards a sport, or friend, or anything...that takes time to develop..
so stop comparing love with a women to chocolate.
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

the last disney film I saw was Miracle..I think that was about hockey..or did I miss the fairytale love story there?
again you think love is lust...lust is chemials in your brain.
love is a mental imprint in your brain. the same as your family and friends..
the only difference is that you still sexually desire her...and are closer to her than anyone else as well on the same level as your mother or father or friend..
hopefully one day you get this.

oh and by the way.you would probably have to eat a DIESEL truck full of hersheys kisses at 1 time to recreate the power of love.
I suppose me actually being in love and you being in denail is why I am so gung-ho about this subject.

From what I've observed about love, it's not an emotion. If you see love as an emotion, you can "love" many, many different people. When someone says that love is an emotion, they're probably talking about the chemicals released in their bodies automatically, unless they're just talking out of their asses because they've heard other people say the same thing. I'm not going to bore you by going into detail about this, but suffice to say that these chemicals can be released by what you see, smell, touch, etc... this is not love, it's just an involuntary response triggered by instinct. However, your "love" interest will obviously trigger these responses.
Now, onto what love is...
Ever noticed how in the movies, the honorable guy will always jump into the path of a bullet to save someone? This is an extremely drastic and totally predictable example, but makes no logical sense. After all, if you took that bullet, what's to stop them from firing another and another? Are you gonna swoop back up and block those as well? **** it, on to the real deal...
If you love someone, you've conciously and/or unconciously realized that you would put their needs before yours, no matter what. This means not cheating on them, not lying to them, not trying to manipulate them, not ignoring them, and the list goes on and on.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
