But none of that is actual romantic love. As someone who had almost no contact with the opposite sex for most of my life, romantic love is what I was missing and what I needed. These are bandaid solutions to the problem.
- CuriouslyC 9y agoPeople in arranged marriages in India report higher overall satisfaction than people in western marriages. You can learn to love someone, people do it all the time. Romantic love (i.e. infatuation, to use less loaded language) isn't all its cracked up to be either. It's just a state your body produces to encourage reproductive behavior. It produces great highs now, at the cost of great lows later, and thus it's terribly addictive. It's no more noble than heroin.
