My sister its not about money all the time.

Some ladies have told me that Ithey cherish a caring guy over a rich guy and some said they will do anything for a man that can please them sexually but none of them have used that scam word "love" so I keep saying that what matters is what you have to offer and what the other person wants...like a buy and sell trade or trade by batter .

I love your curves you like my money

I do you well in bed and that is good enough

You love a fine guy and I'm a TDH then we strike a deal called marriage if I like you too...simple..forget love.

And can you love without a reason?

This thread is getting interesting and taking its course even without the write up proper..let me see how far this will go.

You're a warped up individual, I will give you that !

And you won't rest until you drag all of humanity into that sad route of life you're traveling.

Love exists when men literally died for their wives/ girlfriend and children. It has happened repeatedly.

Love exist when women sacrifice their dignity for a their man.

I have seen widows grieve a lost love a life time.

You're psychologically sick, man. And you're seeking company in the solitude of your loveless existence

Gbam! so we can conveniently say there is always a reason attached to that facade called love and as long as that reason is still there they remain together.

Nevertheless if the reason vanishes and you still see some together, its either they are no longer at a vantage position to leave each other for one reason or the other.
Theres still a reason at the end of it all grin

Tok love is provisional and conditional in nature even God's love. practically God want us to worship and follow him and who doesn't do these won't enjoy his eternal blessings. now that's a condition but not in all cases some enjoy grace.however it doesn't mean it is not love because there are conditions to it.

frankly, love is overly used to make someone believe or do something for you. example men use love to get sex while girls use it to get money and favour, same as son and daughters to their parents.


in a nutshell, it is what we use to get something irrespective of what we really feel. it is a powerful word. in terms of feelings we define it according to what we see and fancy at the time of expression.
Re: Do you Believe In Love? by Hannysmilez(f): 9:30pm On Sep 03, 2016
Well,I don't think that 'Only Dummies believe in love'. A few people stated how only God can love unconditionally,(Biblically). I'm not a Christian but I do remember from my Bible lessons that God commanded us to love one another in the SAME love he has shown us,and another verse where God asked us to continue in his love. I think that this means that humans are also capable of 'unconditional love'.
Funny,I've always found that interesting; 'Unconditional love'. What exactly is love in the first place,if we're going Biblical then love in itself is already unconditional.
So,Yes! Love exists,but,its rare. Humans in their nature are capable of great love. Humans in their nature are selfish and self-centred too.
Love isn't equivalent to romance. We can have love w/o romance and vice-versa.
The world has changed and is changing. Its hard to believe in love with the pathetic things happening. Love does exist,but not that easy to come by. Its worth believing in.
Ps:I was talking on general love and No,I think its quite impossible to love without reason. Some reasons can be silly tho smiley

Jack saw a sweet lady and rose saw a dude and they clicked. Simple logic.

If people continue to se this from the materialistic point of view then they won't catch the drift.

Some ladies love humor, some love good sex, some love cuteness and so on while some guys go gaga seeing a nice ass or boobs but at the end "i love you" naa ni.

The reason why some people stay put in an affair they are tired of is because they feel they are too old to start allover but trust me 90% of matured men and women in marriage had at a time in their marriage wished they opt out to be with another.

First kings please do me a favour and remove the idea of real love from humans from your mind.

If there is real love then I can as well go out and marry a mad lady or a lady can marry Lucifer.

The bottom line is that even this babe you are gushing about if asked will tell you why she desires you so stop misconstruing my point.

Real love is when you love another even when there is no reason to.


Happy sunday

I just did an evaluation using myself and I concur. What we call love is an attraction. Something that might fade if that feature we got attracted to ceases to exist. I tried to imagine my partner without some of the features that got me attracted to him. Hmmm

An elderly man once told me that Love fades in almost every marriage at a particular point in time and that when couples get to that stage what keeps them together is the Friendship they built over the years, God, and the vows they exchanged.

This topic is a bit complicated though.

Complicated it is.

I am a very practical person and a realist. This is why I write disclaimers on some if my threads that what I write is not a reflection of who I am but I write facts and not my personal convictions.

I am a strictly one woman man and my ex of 14 years can attest to it.

Love without a reason is only found in God.

For me to be with a woman, you must have just 3 qualities.

1. Be sexually pleasing to my eyes.

2. Be a good cook

3. Have the fear of God.

As long as you have these 3 qualities, you will beg me to cheat on you

Before my ex left, I saw these 3 in her and I never cheated for a minute on her but due to her naivety she felt there was something better out there since I was her first so she left and came back but unfortunately I was no longer comfy with her moral stands as I still saw some unGodly dispositions in her and I called off the affair.

I'm writing this to explain better that love is hinged on conditions that need to be kept to keep the flame of love burning.

I can't imagine myself with a lady who does not have those 3 qualities but if true love exists I ought to have settled with many ladies who have shown interest towards me.

This is why a lady at 30 still keeps saying No to many men cos she is not OK with the qualities she sees in these guys asking her out and if she eventually says yes to a man she is not pleased with then there is a big possibility of her cheating after marriage if she eventually stumbles on the type of man she desires.And this is why some men cheat after marriage cos they married a lady they are not really OK with.

It is indeed very complicated.

Toks2008:
I strongly believe that real and unconditional love only exist from God to man but anyone who believes in human love is a big dummy.

Human love is a charade, a facade and a chase after the wind which is based on a selfish condition and if the condition is no longer there, love fades and tolerance sets in with an eventual crash.


[b]But when this selfish condition is still present in that other person, we usually use the so called dumb words "I LOVE YOU", "PROMISE YOU WILL NEVER LEAVE ME", "I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU", "WILL YOU MARRY ME", "YES I DO TILL DEATH..."

Let's cut the chase and face facts, human relationship is basically an exchange of obligation,a pure trade by barter. We will likely hear those vague words "I love you" from someone who actually desires you because of your sexual features,money,cuteness,fear of God, future prospect,moral standards, fame and so on and God help you that those reasons remain else you are a past tense or a mere partner that will be tolerated maybe because the other party is no longer at a vantage point to dump you and both of you will now become a good sample couple of real love...Taarh!

So when next you hear a man ask you "will you marry me or can we start dating?" or a lady agrees to be your date or wife,rather than getting overly excited, just take a deep breath and ponder over why he or she agreed to be yours so that you can always keep that condition running to avoid heart ache.[/b]


So my humble advice to people out there looking for true love or someone who will love them for real is to stop chasing shadows and be with someone who catches their fancy and keep the condition of the "attraction" alive or continue to wait for real love until Mongo park discovers them.

I have deep things to write concerning this but on a second thought i have decided to hold back and throw this open for discussion as the title is self explicit.

So let's hear from you if you believe in this 4 letter scam called L O V E,

Over to you all.

This is the saddest most pseudo-intellectual bullshit i have ever read. I bet you think you've got it all figured out. But you are far from the "truth" (notice how i wrote that" ) you're not a realist because even a realist know that reality is very subjective, its never the same for ever one.
