Most People Are Not Really Looking For Love by Babatunjo(op): 4:54pm On Aug 14
They're looking for how love makes them feel. The attention. The affection. The validation. The comfort of knowing somebody wants them.

But love itself asks for something from you too.

Love is finding someone whose needs can sometimes come before your own desires.

Love is staying when they're down and there's nothing exciting about the moment.

Love is giving without calculating what you'll get back.

Sometimes, love is the humiliated self being exalted. Putting your ego down so something bigger than you can survive.

Plenty people want to be loved.

Far fewer are prepared to love.

Na lie! If you say there's nothing beautiful about the love of a woman. I'll say maybe you have a perspective that's profound.

But to say specifically Nigerian woman, e mean say you are wrapping all women based on your personal few experiences or rumors.

Nigerian girls dey love o, if You're lucky to bag one. Not the commodities mostly out there

Love doesn't exist. Stop deceiving yourselves why two people get tired of themselves after being together for long. It's all emotions just like you crave for a particular soup after eating it numerous times you get tired of it. Nature doesn't forgives if you make mistakes you pay for it.

Both of them were tired of each other because they came to take from each other and it got to a point when there was nothing to take again they became tired.

When you came to give love, peace, joy etc, you can never be tired of giving and receiving as well.


This is so deep for common minds to understand because they have nothing to give than pain, frustration and burden.

Most people are not looking for love — they are looking for a mirror. They want someone to reflect their worth back to them. But love is not a mirror. It is a window — and sometimes, the view is not about you.

Love is not about finding someone who makes you feel good. It is about becoming someone who makes them feel safe

C.S. Lewis said it best:

"To love at all is to be vulnerable."

Once you genuinely love someone, you've given them the ability to hurt you.

You can't enjoy the good side of love and refuse the risk that comes with it.

Many people in this part of the world are not looking for love but comfort. Especially the female folks.
Re: Most People Are Not Really Looking For Love by StrangeListing(m): 12:00pm On Aug 17
This hits the nail completely on the head. Most people are simply in love with the luxury of being pampered, validated, and given attention, but they run away the moment real sacrifice is required. True love isn't just an emotional high or a transaction where you constantly calculate what you are gaining. It is about maturity, putting down the ego, and showing up even when the excitement fades and life gets heavy. Everyone wants the benefits of love, but very few are willing to pay the price of commitment.
