TEM says: "I like redheads and freckles."
-Somewhat surprisingly to myself, I would too, if I wasn't attracted to someone who has neither freckles nor red hair.
MMM says: "All women are fiends angelical, serpent hearts housed in beauty, sirens luring us guys only to crash painfully on the rocks."
-Mad acts stupid lots.
ledzeppelinrocks says: "I just think they're hot."
-ledzeppelinrocks is a pure idiot for that comment.
superstarMASIAH says: "I've been wanting to reply to this topic for a very long time. I would like to comment on LD's post 'Tis better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all' In most cases, not true."
-See Sapphira's reply to this comment. If you really love someone, then it's always worth it. From what I've seen, most people don't really know what love even is.
I'm just sorry, but I find that Todd's post reeks of shallowness and misconceptions.
"Nothing serious at all, hugs and kisses only, and they usually never lasted long at all. I think the longest one was about six weeks."
-In my considered opinion, if you kiss someone, it had better be serious. That's just about the most serious and sincere expression of love that I can think of. If there's something more "serious" than that, as far as such relationships go, then I'm very confused.
If you don't think you should be in a relationship, then for both people's sake, say something.
I also have qualms with this post:
"Because I know that it is basic human nature to be lustful. Humans are pure sin, and were created by some-one who knew right from the git-go!"
-First of all, that statement really didn't make any sense, and on top of that, I totally disagree with it. Going by this outlook, if humans are "pure sin," I see nothing worthwhile in living, caring about anything, or even existing.
"You never said this, but it sounds like you are trying to make yourself seem like youve never been physically attracted by some-one."
-You realize, that could be possible. Just because most people are like that, it doesn't mean everyone in the world is that way. That's the problem with your first generalization, also.
I am quite sure that I have never felt this sensation known as "lust."
I've only ever had one crush on a girl, when I was 7 years old. She was probably 13-15, something like that. We were in a play together. I don't even remember caring when the play was over; I don't even have any idea what she was like anymore. However, that feeling caused me to shallowly pursue for a number of years another girl, whom I had known for a while before this. Eventually I realized that this was pointless, because even though I wanted them to be, the feelings were not genuinely there.
A couple years later, and I was still good friends with this girl. Only then, slowly, I realized that I did actually have genuine feelings for this girl. I tried to tell her about it, but she didn't really want anything to do with it. This has gone on for several years. More than ever, now, I believe I love this girl. She is the best friend I have. We're going to be going to different colleges, but chances are I will still be able to see her somewhat regularly. And I will still love her, even if she never returns my feelings. I believe she is the only person I could truly love. There have been a few other girls whom I must admit I have found attractive, but I never once wanted to be in a "relationship" with them, because during all that time, I've known that I really love one girl, and only one girl.
In short, no, I do not got a girlfriend. I have something much more special, much more important; I have a good friend whom I love dearly. And I would never trade that friendship for the utterly shallow "status" of having a "girlfriend," especially as an end unto itself.
