OP is a realist, true love doesn't exist. Even love, I doubt if that exist.

..you mean the concept of Eros as depicted in classic Greek tradition? ..the intimate affection shared between a man and a woman..now there's a popular saying you only give what you have.. now personally addressing you,do you love yourself? do you have love in you..if the answer is yes..then you have it to give.. if it is true of you and same applies to her and you both have to give..voilà! the next thing is making sure both your emotional need are met afterall love is giving..the question then starts from you,what did you give? was it true?
those are facts on another facet, need I explain my point a bit probably with this you get along the line of my reasoning, what is true is constant and remain, but in case of love there is conscious or subconscious shifts why is that, take for instance its true that there are 30 days in November, its true that there are 12 months in a year, 7 days a week....in seasons it remain that way. Now that what's true',, it is true that every human has love in him/herself no matter how little....Now if one loves someone or gets attracted, at the start it vibrant and glowing, metamorphos into a relationship but at some point the vibrant reduces due to any factor or gets halted..something has happened to that love do u still call that true.....why should we have break up relationships and marriage, divorces here and there if the so called love are true....

I tink love exist with man, sometimes it shape and propel our existence, but isn't. Consistent enough to be true.

I believe 'true love' exists. I view 'Love' as a verb and as such reflects 'action'. The 'feelings' that society defines as love are fickle, can wax or wane, and can even be felt for multiple people/things at once. But TRUE LOVE is proven in the actions we take like:

-no matter how attractive you may find another person...you stay faithful.
-when your mate offends you, you forgive and dont seek revenge.
-you stick with your partner through thick & thin, sickness & health...etc.
-you support & encourage the other person
-you always seek to build up your partner and not tear them down.
-you accept the other unconditionally, despite and even sometimes because of their flaws.
-....etc.

Love is the choices you make in relation to another person regardless of how you may or may not be feeling at any given moment. If you consistently make choices that demonstrate Love then your Love is true. I think love is always true until you choose to invalidate it through your actions...and true love isnt necessarily a 2-way street. In today's world most of us are ruled by our emotions and mistaking them for being in love...or not and use these feelings to gauge the depth and strength of love.

honestly, this is quite shallow. True love exists but it's rare. it's being taken over by events in this our modern and materialistic love. But does it exists? Sure it does.

[s]Dear Nairalanders, this piece is my personal opinion, submission and conclusion as regard the topic. It's quite lengthy notwithstanding I want you to take your time and go through everything in order to effectively decode my point and bone of contention base on the subject matter. Knowledge, they say is open ended and not tentative, hence no one is a custodian of it. You can share your views and criticism, but please be concrete and discreet. There are two peculiar words at play here, in uses they are sometimes interchangeable but one is deeper and stronger than the other. Here we go.....

Love is actually a feeling that goes with human existence and emotions, it is sometime referred to as the greatest magic in the world because of it power of proficiency over man. It's good to love and be loved in return, but at times the reverse is the case. Often times we discovered that there are different varieties of love or rather, we see and observe love from different disposition and levels, as some consider it 'casual', some consider it 'genuine', some consider it 'TRUE', some consider it 'Agape', other varieties include; fatherly, motherly, brotherly, and sisterly love, these I call the 'LY' love. Whichever way we see it, it exist and function only where two or more persons co-exist and lived as a people in a specific society.

Despite all the attributes of love and it pertinent, I still struggle to come to term with how people refer to love as 'TRUE' and argue that there is nothing like 'TRUE LOVE'. After observing experiences and experiment carried out, I hereby conclude that there is no true love. The context of the phrase 'true love' is one thing I find yet to be justified in the world of man. Love can be genuine, casual or agape for that matter but there is nothing like true love. Love is a phenomenon that comes and go. It is not static and does not stand the test of time, where is the true in love.

A guy may love a girl genuinely from a sincere heart (and vice versa) and will be eager to do anything whatsoever to profess that love to her. At that point some will regard it as TRUE LOVE, without even considering the gravity of it. It is not true love but love in it genuineness, which of course can be reverse by circumstances or the coming of another love. That guy though loves the girl but after some time into the relationship the degree or percentage of the strength of the love reduces and continues until it becomes very low or non existent anymore, why is that? Such love cannot be term as true.

True is an everlasting phenomenon, no matter how long it is hidden, it will eventually come to manifestation someday and when it does, it indisputably stands and remain for life. Hence love cannot be regarded as true because it does not possess such quality. History will forever remember every scenario for its trueness. Though history or historical event sometimes can be twist or rewritten to suit or concur with the selfish desire of some people, or still in order to create either a negative or positive impressions, all aimed at either painting someone or people good or evil. That notwithstanding does not mean that there is no true story of the said history. Most African countries suffer this degradation from the bigoted whites.

Therefore, there is no true love, it only comes and go. Love does not remain forever, it changes as regard change in behaviours and circumstances around men. When someone loves, he/she cherish with all his/her heart, but at some point in time it becomes odd or rather not as effective as it were at the beginning, (a true love must maintain the degree and percentage base on which it started) this maybe due to the fact that someone else came that manage to stole the love a man has toward a woman and vice versa, or something unfortunate breach the love rendering it less effective or infidelity. Thus, as long as love got to do with emotion it should not be referred as true because anything can affect emotion as it may change.

Provided that, in a situation where someone love another probably from secondary school through tertiary institution and for one reason or the other they were no longer together, yet he/she professes his/her love toward that person as firm, in such cases it is only expedient to examine why they were not together in the first place, as it stand as the reason why such a love could be regard as rather genuine love that couldn't stand the test of time but certainly not true. Else they will rather be together, and breach will be found in the relationship.

That a couple lived and grew old together does not mean the love between them is true, it maybe genuine enough to sustain them all through their lifetime but it not necessarily true as there will be situation where the man or woman wish they had another person as partner or still may at one time or the other love and cherish another person even briefly, (I mean real love and not brotherly and sisterly love) yet they are still together as couple. At that point there is a breach making it less true but genuine to keep them together.

A true love must maintain a single strength from beginning to end. A true love must not change or shift affections toward another person (no matter how little). A true love must be eternal. So tell me where can we find such among men. As such people should put into cognisance the gravity and weight of the phrase "true love", before considering whether to term certain affections as true.

Re: There Is Nothing Like "True Love" by Nobody:
@ OP

There are different kind of loves. The most commonest ones are like smokescreen. You need to beware of those types because there is no truth in them. If you're talking about those type there is no true love. They are usually the type you see among b i t c h e s, gold diggers, lustful, infatuated and lying lovers, etc. The true love comes without string attached and usually last longer. These are seen among families and old friends, etc.

Too long, Just for a simple straight forward topic. Anyway, What we have is "True tolerance", After all the brouhaha and love birds shows the couple will reach a point in life were they will simply be "tolerating" each other. Humans(Especially males) aren't made for just a partner, but overtime we are learning to adapt at least for the sake of parenting/kids.

people mistake lust,infatuation etc for love..hence the need for emphasis most times on "true"
The "true" part of it should change to Something like "I love you truly" or "I truly love you" ie to say that I am not lying.
