I don't like to narrow this topic down to race since a lot of men just sound the same when it comes to this topic, hopeless and like they've given up :manny:

Some people do sound like they've been brain washed by other men to believe that love doesn't exist and there's no such thing as true love. If people want to believe that then whatever, but people do come off as bitter when they act like nobody can experience it just because they themselves have given up hope along with other people that have the same depressing mindset.

In other words, I addressed your question, but it contained too many "sciency" words and not enough fluff and thus didn't suffice your expectations. That's too bad.



Hormones and chemicals in the neurotransmitters of the brain cause bonding chemicals that release. Humans came up with this label called "love". It doesn't, and never has, existed in the context that people have created it and refer to it as. It's a neurochemical and hormonal process, not a magical connect that harbors between two souls.

This is a brain scan done with participants who were "intensenly in love with their partner" and participants who had broke up and just got out of a relationship. Results from the study shown that the participants who were "in love" on the top chart had an increased level of brain activity in the region of the brain that handles emotional functions ; the bottom chart, the "broke up out of a relationship" participants had less brain activity and lower levels of nonepherine. These people "in love" simply had an increased level of dopamine and oxytocin being sent to their brain. That's it. It does not exist beyond this very simple science. Neurochemical alterations emit hormones. It is a neurological function in its entirety, it is not the mythicized nonsense that human beings have labeled it as.



What? Not even remotely similar. Try again.



What a silly question. Why would one have to "get something" for merely debunking a word that has connotations that are rooted in biology rather than soul mate fairytales - which people conveniently like to ignore?
Bruh, idk who tf you're talking to like you're saying something that's remotely difficult to comprehend. You're basically repeating yourself, no shyt "love" is the result of chemical reactions in your brain, we get it. EVERY single emotion you have is the result of chemical reactions in your brain, so are ALL emotions "fake," like you say love is?

Are you able comprehend this little thing called "context"? Re-read the post. I specifically said that love does not exist in the context that people place it in. It's semantics. It is not a "soul connection" "soul mate matching" it's neurochemicals and neurotransmitters working together to emit hormones that expedite attractions that lead to mating and the propagation of the species.

I think society in general puts pressure on men to be "players" and not to work on finding the right girl.

It's easier to take what you can get, versus looking for what you really want.

It's not a black/white thing, but it is more prevalent in the black community for whatever reason.

Just had a quick glance at this website and it looks like a white person's idea of what they think black people talk like. Probably have some wench as the face of the company too.
