Love is very easily confused with similar emotions, and again it's not degrading if I tell you that you've likely never felt love. It's me telling you that it is rare to find love in it's purest of forms.
Also I think "oh, it must not be REAL love" is really quite an elitist (for lack of a better term) viewpoint.

Get over it. You know that in this day and age, a girl can ruin a guys life at her whims? Doesn't work so easily the other way around. Girls are well protected behind the law and can thus toy with guys and simply drop them when they're tired of them, because if he keeps pressing she can destroy him with her words. The days of women's rights movements have come and gone. If this isn't true in Taiwan, you're more than welcome to move to Canada, where you will be given the same rights as men.
Whatever the reason is behind this fictional but nevertheless real situation, I was curious to see your answers, and it didn't get far from what I expected. That men can mess around, be a playboy, he'll simply be labeled as such, but no one really cares, where as when the situation is reversed, its the end of the world for her.
IcyGreenTea Wrote:Yes, sure, you don't have feelings. People do over complicate things with useless emotions, but alas, we are only human.Your unbridled sarcasm aside, you are casting my relative lack of emotions against the obvious overbearing of yours. I do experience emotions as anyone else does, though I tend to act/react on them far less than most. This is because I've found that logical reasoning generally leads to better choices than just doing whatever my "heart tells me" at the time.
IcyGreenTea Wrote:And how is that supposed to be different from "love"? Love is supposed to be attraction to the person you have the feeling for, and infatuated is an attraction also.I have an infatuation to multiple people that I do not necessarily love. If you don't already know the difference, than it's pointless for me to explain it to you, you will understand in time.
