#is it possibile to find true love?
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
I think it is possible but it's just incredibly difficult
i think it's not
if I'm being totally realistic
That makes sense but I do know it exists, I've met folks who are like that and consider each other there true love, I just think it's extremely hard to find one and takes a lot of time
yes but don’t you think they are just lying to themselves saying they only feel attracted to one person?
that’s not how humans are
we feel attraction towards many other people and we cant do anything about it, but still we say “i love you and only you”
we lie to ourselves and to the other person
definitely
why do you think so
when im dating someone sure i can say someone else thats not my partner as attractive
like im acknowledging that they have good looks or smth
not even an actor? or a model? or a random guy you see on social media?
but never in a romantic attraction kinda way
i don’t think that’s possible to be honest
ive had crushes on actors and the second i get into a relationship, i lose attraction to them
so you just admire their beauty but you don’t feel any attraction?
it is
theres 8 billion people in this world ofc its possible
how do you automatically lose attraction to someone
okay then is it for you
its not how it works
my bad i don’t want to sound arrogant
can i ask if u feel attraction to other people when dating someone
i just don’t understand
yes i do, but i don’t tell anyone of course
and my point is
the other person feels the same
she is with me but if she sees another guy that is attractive she will think about him too
and then she’ll think that it’s wrong because she is a relationship
and i get it
but then it’s not the love i was talking about before
would u mind it if she does feel this way
i know she does
and so i do
i aknowledge it’s normal
but i just don’t like it, it sounds fake to me
whats fake to u?
the fact that we are pretending that we are only attracted to eachother
and not just us but everyone
the thing is it’s not anyone’s fault
it’s just human instincts
but in the moment the person thats attractive the most to each other is each other right?
so then based on u saying how being attracted to other people, i think thats fine
and i’m not talking about love where i’m attracted THE MOST to her
i’m saying her and only her
and so u’d be fine with having a boyfriend/girlfriend that says that you’re the only one who he loves but then he thinks about other girls that look better than you
and ofc he’ll never tell you that
thats why i said based on what u said
so you won’t know for sure
to me i wouldnt like that
ye but you said it’s fine
i know
but that’s just how it is for me
it’s easy to lie
i was saying it for u
ik couples who are open abt this
but deep down we all have secrets that we cant never tell our partners
i’m happy for them to be able to live like this
open abt telling each other that they have celebrity crushes, or thinks that certain people are cool
u can too yk
i wouldn’t feel good about it
some do some dont
and so wouldn’t my girl
imagine being like
“yeah, that girl is hotter than you”
how can someone be fine with this
woah now thats too far
yes but that’s what the boy-friend thinks
he just will never tell her
and vice versa
thats just too far and if the boyfriend is able to think that way, im sure the relationship wouldnt last long
well i’ve been with my girl for almost two years
i just never told her
another thing to add is that a lot of people dont just for physical attraction yk
and i’m sure she thinks that there are guys that look hotter than me
but she’ll never tell me
so we basically lie to eachother
:/ how are u sure
that’s how humans work
you can’t just delete attraction to someone
not all bro
my mom (she’s been married for god knows how long) is literally the purest person i’ve ever met
and when i talked to her about this
she told me that she had been attracted to other people while she was with my father
and ofc she didnt cheat or anything
but still
its not abt them seeing someone attractive and stop thinking to themselves that the person they saw is attractive. its smth purely natural that when ur in a relationship, u just dont have attraction to other people more than just thinking they look cool or hot
not to the point of wanting to date them or smth
thinking someone looks hot isnt attraction already?
ofc
clearly shes not more attracted to them than to ur father
no..?
yes that’s why im not talking about more or less
cuz i can say someone is hot but that doesnt mean i want to be with them
attraction doesnt mean you wanna have a relationship with them
if you think someone is hot its cuz he attracts you
attraction means sense of interest, desire, or closeness u feel towards something or someone
desire
imagine the hottest guy you can think of
you ever (only in your mind) thought that you want to for example have sex with him
but ofc
you would never do it
cuz you love and respect your parnter
or even imagined of touching or kissing him idk
whatever
so you felt that way but then said “no, i don’t really want this, i’m happy with my bf”
what does a relationship mean to you @faint wing
the typical bf gf
usually people who have desires like this about others, get into a relationship and fulfill them
yes i know
to an extent that thier presence fulfills thier current needs of
oh hell na id never think that far
physical or emotional attraction
but read the first thing i typed
i’m talking about exclusive love and attraction
to ONLY one person
ye I was getting to that- maybe if you do experience emotions like that, she’s not the one for you?
mabye i’m just a terrible person then
is that the meaning of true love is that smth you had in mind when u think of true love
i don’t think any girl is
because who ever i end up with
i will always feel some kind of attraction to someone else
and i don’t mean “i love another woman more than mine”
i just mean that it’s impossibile to only be attracted to one
cause a relationship being held by ropes as feeble as these are bound to fall apart
that’s my definition, idk how to call it
as for the event you described with your mom, I don’t think she’s using the same defenition of attraction as you
and what is a strong relationship then?
was she?
something that can withstand these fleeting “attractions”
as per me at least
i mean
i can with stand that attraction
oh shi my bad
because
i love my girl more
ofc
but still my point is
i’m not only attracted to her
well then i think that u should change ur definition of true love
for everyone its different
yeah mabye you’re right mb
yeah
forget true love then
exclusive attraction towards one person
cuz youve proven that even tho youve had attraction to other ppl ur still prioritizing ur girl
i know
that’s not my point
hold on
.
i specified but i should have not said true love
with devoted ofc i don’t mean physically
it’s not hard to not cheat
then for my answer yes
i get it
at least I think its possible for ME
like i said mabye i’m just a terrible persone
but not only me for sure
a lot of people keep lying to themselves
doin smth bad doesnt make u a terrible person
and how are you so sure that your partner only loves you?
you cant
he can easily lie
like i do to my gf
well i can only hope he doesnt lie then
and you’re satisfied?
if i get stuck up on thinking that hes lying to me id end up crazy
or you’d end up single
if my partner says "actually i think that u lie to me abt being attracted to me only" my heart would genuinely break
because i’m 100% sure that this is how at least most guys think
we cant just fake not being attracted
i know
then its the same for guys too
are you in a relationship rn?
nope
then i can say it
say what
imagine you have the perfect bf ok?
uhhuh
he genuinely seems perfect
and he loves you
and all that stuff
i promise you he’ll still be looking at girls asses when he’s walking
and he will still be talking to his friends about other girls they find attractive
accidentally sure
and funny thing is
all his friends have gfs like him
but they still are attracted to other people
it’s almost never accidental, trust me
ofc i’d say that to my girl if she saw me do that

and she’d trust me
like you’d trust him if he said that to you
he is the perfect bf, why would he lie?
and yet
he does, and you will never know
and mabye you’ll still be happy
but i cant live like this tbh
yea cuz u think everyone is the same when people clearly arent
i’d just rather be single
people are fake
everyone is lying to you, almost always
maybe it’s the people around him
mabye it is
atp u gotta change how u think man
my bad id that’s the case
how can i lol
that’s just reality
i’m simply not trusting lies
be more positive
because i know how easy it is to tell them
.
i don’t trust people because i myself are a liar
doesn’t that make sense?
not only me of course
but even the purest people you know can be liars trust me
especially them actually
it’s easier to lie if you’re reliable and everyone trusts you
agreed but
so the more perfect someone is the more he is lying to himself and everyone else
things look too good to be true
you aren’t a liar?
but how can i trust you
if you already lied on other things
how can i be sure that this time is not a lie
you see my point?
you can say “it’s because i say so”
and i’d get it
but still there would be doubt
because ppl make mistakes bro
that’s impossible not to do
but lies are not mistakes
they’re wanted
just bcs someone crashed in an accident doesnt mean they get their driving liscence revoked for life
at least my lies are things i did to get myself out of trouble
not when you crash
or to make others feel better right?
like to my mom abt doing smth productive
if your ugly friend who is depressed asks you “am i ugly?”
as in if someone asked if im fine?
what would you say
i dont see people as ugly 
.
ofc conventional attractiveness is a thing
i can tell if someone is model pretty or just mid
but me personally i just cant see someone as ugly
how can uglyness not exist for you
not even in a physical way?
idk man
bro i already did LMAO
all my crushes had been nerds who nobody ever goes like "omg i have a crush on him"
probably had a banned word
lmao
so
if you don’t mind looks
imagine a guy coming to you
he’s 5 feet tall, he’s got yellow teeth, he is obese and he has pimples on his face
but hey he has a good personality
you still think he is not ugly in a physical way?
you’d still be attracted to him?
all of that is valid apart from yellow teeth cuz thats hygiene
alright
then
5 feet? heck my ex was the same height as me
YES ID ACCEPT
and his teeth are missing cuz of an accident

idc abt d size lmao
i don’t think you’d accept
gus i think we’ve strayed away from the point haven’t we
i was just saying negative stuff
even if he was infertile i would accept
yep but hes the op of this thread so
ik mb, but she said that nobody is physically ugly
for me that’s just a lie
my bad tho
well it’s more about you than her so let’s try to keep it at home
as someone who grew up obese and ugly and got a glow up, i genuinely just cant see ppl as ugly
i’m sorry
the initial thread at least
gang its fine if we stray from topic cuz hes the op after all
i got a glow up too, and before my glow up i was deadahh ugly
mb tho
but that’s not all invalid, that’s another one of the things which point out the difference in the way you think and she does
back to “exclusive attraction to one person”
yes but i think her way of thinking is just a mental construct that she uses to sweeten life, even though she knows that it is not how things work in real life
i just think its a difference in personal views
yeah that’s probably it
my life aint sweet i give u that
yup
that’s why you need to think positive, to survive and live better
u can say that for urself
ofc i’m not lol
i’d be lying to myself then
my positive thinking is the reason that im like this
i already did in the past
wait why are you with her then
apart from the whole lie thing
it’s the biggest cope
i can’t leave e her
she needs me as a person
she has stuff going on
no matter what i have inside, my goal is to make her feel good
but if it drains u, u gotta be honest
i know
but i would literally kill her in a methaporical way
calm
oh
it not i
sorry
ig
huge huge difference
it’s a weird situation trust me
nah i get it, shed live
my ex left when i was suicidal i turned out fine
leaving her wouldn’t help
well maybe that’s a major contributor to your lack of exclusive affection
it differs to the person tho ofc
your ex is a bad person, i don’t plan to be like him
so should i just leave her when she needs me the most?
lol
no, i’ve always felt this way
and always will
i wouldnt say he is, he had stuff going on too. i wouldnt want to rope someone into being with me bcs of my mental health
thats sic
do it in a kind way then
so by lying
you seeee
everyone lies to make people feel better
i will do that in the future
now its not the right time
wdym lying
i mean leave in a kind way
as in having a talk
“sorry honey i am attracted to other people therefore i don’t think my love for you is pure, bye”
or
“it’s not your fault, i love you but i can’t do this anymore, i’ll always be here if you need me”
then talk it out
not if u have a talk out bro
i have to sugarcoat it
before you said that if your bf told you that you’d die inside
mb here in italy it’s 8 pm lol
how about at the beginning of your relationship when she was the girl [ mind my language ] who’s ass you checked out; back then was she the only one you found attractive, attractive enough to get in a relationship to begin with
sleep well then
yea if he told me straight up
thanks for the chat
of course she was the main girl of my world, but she easn’t the only one
if i saw another good looking girl i would’ve still felt attracted to that girl
see you
what pushed you into getting into a relationship with her
because she was the one i loved the most
imagine my head
90% her
10% other girls
and you could say “well you still love her a lot”
i’d agree
but i’m talking about loving someone 100%
only her on my mind
and what’s the ratio like now
still like this i’d say
mabye 80 20 idk
doesn’t matter
i don’t want to be in a relationship where i don’t love her and only her
and she doesnt love me and only me
i know that she doesn’t, nobody ever could
not even the funniest and most handsome guy in the world will ever have that love
there is always attraction for others
usually, the 90/10 ratio would overpower the lust which one has over other people and give the illusion of exclusive attraction
i think ill have to agree
by the way you define it
it “overpowers” the lust but doesnt delete the attraction
there’s no way someone finds only one person in the whole world attractive
yes
and that’s why for me
love is fake
but for the other half of your question, i think they could still be devoted to one person
You can be attracted to others and still have a true love
physically devoted for sure
no that’s where i think it falls apart
not mentally
i say your situation is a bit different from the original
yes but i made a mistake when i said true love
well i think, as far as i read at least, you can’t seem to find peace with the fact that she likes other men too
and not disclose it
correct me if I’m wrong
that and the fact that i like other women too
i just think our love is fake
yeah i th-
our promises and everything
yup that’s what i was getting at
it’s just lies
sorry, go ahead
no no i was just trying to put it gently
but that’s what i was trying to say
lies which you keep up because she needs you
can’t comment on her perspective for the lack of context but I’m sure she’s lying for her own reasons too
yeah that’s what i said at the beginning hhaha
that was kinda my point
oh I must’ve missed that
100%
you thought it was the opposite?
well I just read the title and all I had to say was that
It is indeed possible
But with the right person only
that every love is fake beside ours?
yeah i kinda worded it poorly
Oh naw I meant the conversation was pretty general like - is exclusive attraction possible
and the answer to that depends on people but regardless doesn’t help your situation
i don’t understand what we are talking about hahaha
i understand
for me the answer is no
for antika it’s a yes
.
and for me too
i agree then
so for you is it still worth to be in a relationship?
full of lies and hidden feelings
it could be not gonna lie
i can see why
but for me it’s just not
oh sorry i thought you agreed with me hahaha
my bad
well I’m just gonna say the same thing antika did - I trust my partner to be honest with me and
partly
yes but how can you trust him
everyone lies
a relationship with no lies never works
never
so you can’t really trust your partner on everything can you?
of course saying that you trust him or her sounds very good, and full of hope
wait let’s get back to this part - imagine if you and her didn’t have to lie to each other
yes
we probably wouldn’t be together
“babe i’m attracted to other women, i was lying when i said i’m only attracted to you”
even if she accepts this
she will live with this insecurity forever
that i may find a woman that i like more than her
or that i lust on other women
or that i find other women hotter
if we never lie to eachother
and she asks me if she is the hottest for me
i’d just answer no
and name other women‘s names
that’s the harsh truth
so people in relationships lie
but i don’t either want this truth or the lies
it all sucks
that’s a whole different story
for me it’s not enough
“yours is the only mind i love”
“and my body?”
“no no i like other men bodies too”
if you really like that it’s fine i guess
just not for me
is there a world where the emotional attraction of her grows so intense that it invalidates the physical attraction towards others
no
it’s impossible
like i said physical attraction is an instinct
you cant do anything about it
hm
well some people say that the emotions keep them at bay but I guess they’re lying too
yep
also the funny thing is that it’s so easy to not notice everything i said before
but once you think about it lmao
it’s like a black hole
it’s not like we’ve [ antika and me ] have never noticed it
but we’ve lied to
ourselves and everyone
about it for so long
i know
that it just feels like the norm now
it’s probably easier to ignore it tho
and surely makes you live with less stress and insecurities
but it’s always there
I wish buddy, I wish
but apparently in this 21st century
only few get to experience it
nobody does bro
only people in movies or books
as of me, I have never in my life dated anyone
and those stories are not real for a reason
zero proposals despite being 19 lmao
ikr?
it’s fine
don’t worry
it probably depends of where you live and who you have around
man, im happy
less drama and stuff
but sometimes lonliness hits hard
buddy, I live in the silicon city
idk what that is but doesnt sound good lmao
I promised my younger self that If i ever find someobe
they should be the one until end
and looking at ppl now, I have lost all hope tbh
us
but when you don’t notice the lies, the illusion is
beautiful
in a way
google it buddy
yes but how can you not notice
cali?
you just live your life with your eyes closed?
nooo, thats silicon valley
ignorance probably idk
lmaooo silicon city
when u will wake up reality then what?
mf lives in a roblox map
contemplate life?
hoping the illusion lasts forever
love is basically drugs i feel
it doesnt bro!
herion with extra steps lmao
only thing good in life
is physical pleasure
or satisfaction from work or something
mabye even videogames sometimes
of course
prime example is our body
from 25 y.o. it’s all downhill
no point in living after that
I didnt ask to me brought into this world
buddy, u work out?
i do boxing
could u give me tips?
oohh
haha i only do some pushups and pullups
I was 48 last year
and work out abs
wym
now Im 63kgs
ooh
I hab become fat
how tall are you?
5'5
I just want core strengtj
well
if you work out for a bit
you’ll gain muscles easily
dw about it
like what work outs exactly?
idk i just do shadowboxing with weights
idk if that counts as core strenght lmao
honestly i have no clue
and i don’t wanna give you wrong advice
ooohhh okiii
really
lmao no problem
maybe Ill hit the gym
if you listen to me you’ll end up with a broken spine or sum
yeah that would work
lmaooo
maybe rupture my muscles or smthg

lmao
to answer the question:
super possible, just takes luck and a huge step forward to get yourself out there or put yourself into a position where youre able to use what you have to find other people
going out etc, its a complicated issue because we find love in others in various ways
I think it's possible but the way you love someone isn't always the same way someone loves you. Every love comes with conditions and no one is going to complete you or be your "soul mate". I think with any relationship we desire it all depends on how it fits into our lives. Is it adding or devaluing you? Also look into limerence v.s. love it helps
true but i wasnt really talking about that, but more the fact that it’s impossible to feel attraction to only one person
and therefore the great love that everyone talks about is just a sweet illusion and nothing more
mm thats mad interesting then, i feel like as you zone in on your wants and needs in a person youll eventually only rlly see your partner as the one most compatible w you then
sure, i understand
you can def see love in lots of ways, but also if youre new to it you wont have a clue abt what u want longterm
nono but like
i have a gf
for 2 years now
i’m not seeking love
i’m just saying that this kind of love is fake
love made of promises and exclusivity
it doesn’t exist
no matter how much you love one person you’ll always feel physically attracted to other people
id say yes, but also if youre w the right person, love kinda makes you only see them
because ofc other people can be physically attractive yes theres always someone better, but wouldbthey be able to provide like your partner?in intimacy or emotionally thinking ways?
prolly not
your view is gonna shape how it is
also talk to your partner abt it, im sure itll be a good conov
right and I think it would be more fake to not say there are beautiful people
its when we make the decision to stay true to our partner
i’m not talking about if they would provide better than my partner
yeah but thats where the convo would head, cuz ur looking as other people
it’s just the fact that i find other people attractive or even more attractive then her
and she does the same surely
thats normal
yeah it happens
as long as you arent acting on it
and your content with your partner
but the reasons people dont just bounce from one person to another is for the reasons above basically
my point was
life isnt perfect and the way you think of true love others might not
if it’s possible to be attracted to only one
and for me it’s not
so technically y’all agree
Not necessarily
so you think that one person can shut off the attraction you feel towards others?
Because I don't think true love is perfect and true love looks different for me
I don't think we shut it off but we make the commitment to choose our partner over anyone
but what i mean with true love is complete exclusive attraction to only one person
I think that shows solitude
yes we do
but still we like other people
we are attracted to others no matter what choices we make
correct I agreed
and so
you’d like to be in a relationship with someone who is attracted to other women other than you?
and who thinks that other women are hotter than you?
because that is inevitable
if you’re fine with it i totally get it
i just think that love is full of lies
I dont think true love u can find. U can develop it with a person thru mistakes arguments lovely moments bad moments and experience
Trust me. If you want true love you need to have a 2way connection and a need to fix everything together
this guy gets it
right every love is going to come with conditions
i agree, but for me the thing i said before is inevitable
what works for some might not work with you
for me love is not true if it’s not exclusive
so it’s love, but fake love
because true love doesn’t really exist
Theres no perfect partner you can get. And if you find a person whos gonna date you and look at other women thats not a even a partner, its just a person trynna play all the girls. Its hard to find a right person to form true love with but you have to try. It is possible
Speaking from my pov
yes but listen
even if i’m in a relationship with a girl
and i really love her both physically and mentally
no matter what
i will always find other women attractive
some even more attractive then her
and therefore the love i feel for her is not exclusive
and for me that’s not pure love
Oh yeah.
for me pure love is a love so strong that can delete all attraction towards every body but one person
and it simply doesn’t exist
I know it happens and ive felt the same way but that just shows if youre determined enough to keep a relationship and suppress your love for other people
Youre right. I agree
And i also agree. But there is a small chance yo
Yk
Dont loose your hope
there is no chance man
we are all human
that kind of love is only in books and movies
and it’s the love the creator of those books and movies wish existed
but again its all about perspective on it
feels like you just have a dif idea of what love can be
not to your fault or anything tho, but just be aware i hope it doesnt lead anything bad to happen to yoi
thank you
yeah mabye i have a weird point of view
but with love you also have to count the physical part right?
depends on how you see it
see how you see it, n how you experience it
some people hate physical touch, some people cant communicate, all just how you view it at the end of the day
but when you think about love don’t you think about kissing?
hugging?
love (in a romantic way of course) is made of attraction towards eachother
there is always the physical component
thats how i might view it yeah, but im not everyone if you get me
theres people w dif perspectives on what love is
could be the extra gn text for some, could be the asking for what you wanna eat 2 extra times to get a real answer
everyone has an idea of what love for them is and thats perfectly fine
sure, that is also love
yee
alright then
i’ll remake the question
is it possible for someone to be attracted to one person only?
possible just, pretty hard to find someone like that, and who finds someone who replicates that feeling toward you
but how is it possible
we’re humans, we are attracted to anything that we find appealing
because that person could be someones coup de gras, the perfect person that resonates w them on every scale, its possible, just unlikely
and we can’t decide what we are attracted to or not
ok i get it
yeah but that doesnt discredit love for what it is in a raw form
i understand where youre going, even if theyre perfect, theyre gonna have a flaw etc
see someone else
no
but thats just how we are as humans, imperfect
then what reason would there be to look elsewhere?
there is something people can give you that arent based kn qualities,
reputation, status, connection etc, people could leave someone for exactly that
because her perfection is not the only thing that i’m attracted to
i can’t decide it
if i’m with the most beautiful girl and i see another cute girl walking by
i’d still be attracted to that cute girl
no matter how beautiful my girl is
let me put it this way lol
my fav food is pizza
my second fav is pasta
if i have a pizza, and i’m eating the pizza
i’d be happy
but if someone walks by with a plate full of pasta i’d still look at that pasta and think “that pasta looks good”
this is normal
because no matter how good pizza is, i’d still like pasta too
i know
and so
it’s impossible to feel attracted towards one person only right?
yes
alright
you know, there is a video on youtbe how a guy goes proposing random girls in streets of spain like in the 90's and guess what happened?
he got rejeceted by every single one, he wasnt even bad looking
this sets an example uk, even if u put ur self out there alot
it doesnt mean u have 100% success rate and for few ppl who try to put themselves out there get tired
ye
but being rejected a thousand times does build confidence if youre seeking it in the right way though
You can't everything in life postively
Lmao
say that again
ur getting lost in black and white thinking
the thing is, you will still find other people attractive, because having a partner doesnt mean that you will stop finding other things beautiful
what you are asking for would mean that everything including objects in the world would appear ugly and only your partner would appear beautiful
its not how reality works nor how it should ever work
the resolution is that you dont let the fact that you can find other people sexy/beautiful to be a problem in your relationship, its a passing thought and a perception, you can always let it arise, it will leave on its own, you dont have to act on it in any way, you dont even have to think about it for long, it can leave after a second
