Love and mind games Inter alia according to Mizmycoli the Queen of Nairaland's damsels.
tongue

This topic is inexhaustible and also differs according to each persons experiences.

Societal values have eroded and what we all call love today is far from the ideals.

Most of us now believe loving relationships should come with fringe benefits. Paying bills, occasional dates, gifts and shopping spree. The guys also look out for mind blowing sex and quickies if bad gets to worse.

Now this is the point most of us are and it's pretty difficult to figure out what the ideals is supposed to be. The media isn't helping out on this issue.

I can keep going on and on ranting until I feel helpless on this thing called Love.
Not even sure it's a thing or just wishful thinking that the ideal exists and could happen.

Not given up yet tho'.
At best I'd conclude it's a risk, the more calculated you are, the more successful you might get in or out without getting hurt or heart broken.

That's my humble submission, opinions might differ.

Frankly,love is overrated,you can have love for your family,God,your friends......but to have love for a member of the opposite sex...is just like eating a bowl of pepper soup without having Any thing to help you "step it down"
it may start up as being sweet,you are enjoying it to the fullest,then you become quite uncomfortable
....until finally your body screams for you to back down AND stop it.... same with love.
it may be weird but actually i believe that the law of diminished returns works also in love.

As hilarious as that is, it remains am erroneous analogy. Quite laughable too. I like your angle though.

[quote author=softwhispers post=29932062]
l personally, hav given up on romantic love(well, pple do change, mind u).
Now, don't get me wrong: I'm a great fan of budding romances & l take great pleasure in observing hw bein in love brings out d best in couples!
So "what is ur problem, boy?", u wonder.
This: I'm so afraid to fail that l wont even try (again). Now that's a qoute frm Dido's 'Life for Rent' which, l suppose, resonates well with many here.
To love - that pure, selfless, romantic devotion to an object of deep affection - is a huge investment: one in which returns are not guaranteed!
And by 'returns', l simply mean full reciprocation!
For what is loving if it isn't mutual?
'True love' (if you'll excuse that designation has never before been under such a barrage of attacks - so fervent and sustained - as it (love) now is.
Consider a few protagonists of love:
FEMINISM
I find it curious that any feminist should contract a heterosexual marriage - homosexual involvements are a lot less puzzling.
At its core, feminism breeds narcissism which is in diametric contradiction to d very tenets of loving.
D feminist sees herself as a sun of sorts, around which d earth must revolve.
But to truly love is to be wholly altruistic, or so l suppose!
THE NEW MORALITY
l don't even kno if this describes any known concept but by 'new morality', l refer to d prevailing view in modern society that a life of sexual gratification is d apogee of fulfillment. Modern society, abetted by d media, paints d picture-perfect individual as that one who beds anyone that catches their fancy.
Such a theory is at best, contradictory for humans naturally derive d greatest satisfaction from giving: not getting.ለ (any parents here will at once grasp my meaning).
So u see, a number of peeps out there hav by their very lifestyles, conditioned themselves to never fall in love!
They cant even recognize love!!!
How can u be enraptured by someone when all u see is their sex appeal??
EDUCATION
Is being educated ever a bad thin?
Not quite!
Still, as one pursues higher levels of education, a heightened level of self awareness evolves. U begin to see how 'good' u really are: and how 'bad' everyone else is - u become too good for d world (of d opposite sex)!
Too, there's d prevailing view among intellectuals that smhow, falling in love is naive: smthing scornful and demeaning.
So everyone pursues sophistication and forbid themselves frm falling on love..
I COULD GO ON AND ON, BUT I GUESS I'VE ALREADY SAID FAR TOO MUCH!
AND FOR THOSE WHO SEE MY TOTS AS BALDERDASH, PLS FORGIVE MY RAMBLINGS!
PLS FORGIVE MY LOOOOOONNNGGGG POST; JUST MY RANDOM TOTS...

iono what to say to this.
Fact is this; If I haven't walked your journey, I have no business judging your story.

One thing I do know though:-
To Love, to truly love is to be God.
There is no fear in Love and there is no love in fear.

in my opinion, I think you should release yourself, by that, I mean, making up your mind to love again. This doesn't necessarily mean that you should go all out in search of Love, no.
It's about preparing your mind.
It's about learning what Love is really about.
I strongly believe that Love is way beyond feelings, it's a decision.

To love - that pure, selfless, romantic devotion to an object of deep affection - is a huge investment: one in which returns are not guaranteed!
And by 'returns', l simply mean full reciprocation!
For what is loving if it isn't mutual?

I agree with you, and I disagree.
Loving a person who doesn't reciprocate in equal measure, how much more nothing? That is one of the most frustrating vocations to engage in.

I as a person......I don't want to be involved in such mumu project, honestly angry

But then again, looking beyond ourselves, our desires and seeing the world as a whole; doing our best to fulfil God's utmost will for marriage "To Love As God Loves"
Phew!
That's a task!

I am convinced that God is love, but my imagination in that regard is stretched when I remember that God loves me and that Bokoharam guy who just severed a man's neck from his body EQUALLY!
The difference is that I walk in greater awareness of God's love for me than the guy, which enables me to access certain graces, virtues and mercies than him.
It's hard to imagine, yes. But ultimately, it is what it is.

That's the kind of love, the ideal that God wants us as his creation to rise up to.

I for one; I believe in the power of love alone to transform our world.

On Love and Marriage

Prior to this time, the time of women liberation and independence rave, a man worked hard to earn the financial and moral right to marriage. He seeks a bride, finds one easily because the ladies [back then still] knew it was their right, luck and social responsibility to accept a 'ready man' without much fuss. Back then the biggest unknown was parents' approval...heck! The parents were the 'unsmiling judges' of one's spouse back then.

I don't know if what the resulting couples had was love, but they were happy. Those types of couples gave birth to most of us here discussing today, and they still married!

Fast-forward to the prevailing situation today. The decision is even more of the lady's to make than the man. The number of rejected proposals from men is on a continous rise. Because of the sense of liberation, intelligence and educational qualifications our young ladies have achieved, they are just not ready to end their education in a man's kitchen anymore! Not in a hurry.

Guys are afraid, I am afraid...Yes!!! Its because the one statement I dread most is hearing my wife say 'Wish I hadn't married you'...or 'I made a mistake'....damn, thats gonna hurt!
