Do you apply logic in love?

Do you love logic?

There is no fucking logic in love. Love is only a delusion that inspires animals to have sex and produce offspring thus satisfying our eternal desire to exist forever, could there be a more fake emotion then this?

1. Hardly
2. I certainly try
3. Yes

Logic is just our way to explain everything, so it's sometimes almost impossible to apply logic to love which sometimes is irrational.

Yeah but the love that you talked about is purely driven by lust.

So in a way you suggest that love tends be driven by lust.. isn't that can be termed as logic behind love. So whenever logic enters love that results into lust?

Can there be love without lust or logic?

You're wrong. I can assure you love exists entirely seperately from lust.

For everyone in here, love is also a feeling you have towards your siblings, parents, children. I wouldn't be so quick to equate it with lust...

Love is rather a sense of deep caring

A relationship starts out on lust, interest, affection. Eventually, the feeling of love is introduced and grown from a general investment into the other person. Once the relationship gets promoted by the acknowledged addition of love, the original drives of lust, interest, affection, etc. start to decline in variable rates. Eventually you'll end up with a hag/stretchysack who you don't care to fuck, kiss or listen to, but you'll be damned if you don't love the bitch/bastard. Either that or you just knock boots less often.

Of course, this all occurs in competition with contempt and feelings of its ilk, so that could alter the course in various ways. Love and contempt can coexist, just think about the relationships you might have with some of your family members, current lovers, exes.

Where does logic come into play? Well, it works into the development of love, your interpretation and understanding of the other person is a product of logic, and allows you to actively or subconsciously evaluate their worth in terms of your emotional investment. Logic plays its role in all of these factors that lead in and out of being in love. Logic is what keeps you from merely consuming their flesh and rolling around the floor covered in their innards.

Maybe too serious for a lounge post, I promise to derail subsequently.

I liked Mary Joe's post above about love being a sense of deep caring. I think it's wrong, though. Each time a commentator tries to quantify love, he or she ends up describing it as something else. Something different. Something that most certainly isn't love.

Oh, love is deeply caring about someone? Really, well isn't that just caring deeply. How deeply must one care before it's love. How deep is the line that separates love from care.
Love is when you take more pleasure in that person's pleasure than your own. Isn't that selflessness.
Love is when you can't get a person out of your mind. That's infatuation.
Love is when you get a funny feeling in the pit of your stomach when you think about someone. That's adrenaline released when you get excited. So, excitement.
Love is when the desire to look after someone over-rides everything else. Yeah, we're back to deeply caring again.

The are many more I could write, but I think that's enough for people to get the gist.
Basically I think what we describe as love is a mixture of any and all of these emotions. The more deeply you care/the more infatuated you are/the more you'd do for your partner, the more 'in love' you are.
You can't say it, though, because then you'd be accused of being cynical or 'incapable of love' or a sociopath. When people say; 'I love you', what they're actually saying is that they believe that the feelings they harbour toward the recipient of their utterance roughly equates to what they feel society's definition of love is.
Most people know this but it's left unsaid as it's so much easier to grunt 'I love you too'.


Love is the most intangible of intangibles. The reason for this is simple;
It doesn't exist.

You missed out the bit about love being able to co-exist with contempt.

Also the fact that 'love' can encompass various other emotions which you may feel for another doesn't mean it doesn't exist as a unique emotion. For example... when was the last time someone you only cared for emotionally hurt you?

You have my deepest sympathy... to have lived your life without having ever truly loved is a sorry thing.

The fact that what you deem love can co-exist with contempt only goes to strengthen my claim that 'love' is a hotpotch of emotions.

As does your complete inability to substantiate your claim that love can exist as a unique emotion.

To answer your penultimate point, I don't think anyone I've only cared for has emotionally hurt me; however, someone I've deeply cared for, whose acheivements I could take vacarious pleasure in and who I was almost infatuated with has hurt me emotionally.
There's that reinforcing again ^

There's the nub... you called love intangible... whereas I would define it is undefinable, because love is something that doesn't fit the words you used to define other emotions... it is more than the sum of all of those... It might well encompass those emotions, but they're not enough to define it. For example none of those emotions are ones which can co-exist with love... you can't care deeply for someone and hold them in complete contempt at the same time... the two of them are incompatible... that's not the case with someone you love.

What I actually said is that it's the most intangible of intangibles. I described it that way to allude to its undefinable nature, we are in agreement.
It's precisely this which makes me assert that it doesn't exist on its own. That it can only be experienced as a by-product of many, much more tangible, emotions.

You're also right when you say that you can't care deeply for someone you hold in complete contempt. You'll agree that this is an absolute. If you hold every aspect of someone's persona in contempt, then there is nothing to care deeply about. All that could possibly be left is a sense of duty where you feel as if you have to look after that person. As in the case of an grown-up convicted rapist offspring with no where else to live, for example.

If you wish to tell me that you love someone that you have complete contempt for, I would counter by saying that you only hold certain aspects of that person in contempt, that there are other parts of her/him that you actually care deeply about or that you're still infatuated by.

For a thread that started off as a bunch of wanker tripe, this actually turned out half decent. I blame Mary. She made the first serious post in this thread.

As for love, I define it as a loose combination of concepts in this thread. As humans we can only ascribe our feelings to those accepted by society - after all they are abstract - but as a species we all work with the same pool of emotions and are programmed to "feel" what the other person feels simultaneously. From person to person this varies on an emotional range where "love" falls for them. Some people (myself included) vie for intellectual comfort, and can't imagine a relationship with someone who can't stimulate them on said level. Other people care more about shared interests like projected vision; so on and so forth there's multiple examples. From person to person the emotional combination that constitutes the perfect balance to nurture affection/"love" may vary, but I think the fundamental definition is a variation of what Macky described. Identifying yourself as being in "love" is in itself the time-point where you actually are first in love. Totally circular argument, like.

It's taken me a while to figure out how to phrase the answer to this... love isn't a by-product of those other emotions, it's the emotion which enhances all your other feelings for specific people. Often for no explainable reason. For example it's often not possible to explain why you love one person whilst not feeling love for a different person, who in real life might be someone who is seemingly much more your type... ergo love does exist.

That could be chalked up to me losing my sense of romanticism. My answer could change depending on the nature of my relationship with a mistress, if I could ever bag one worthy of my interest. I feel like I should hurry before I become financially well-off and distinguished.

Great to see that there are still some people who think love is love. Its something where you don't expect anything in return. Its more like a faith where one tends to be unconditional, its about caring and is selfless. Moment you start applying reasoning or logic to any relationship that is based on pure love then it is not love any anymore. It start taking all sort of ugly form like that of lust, greed etc. Very true love or logic can't live together. Honestly, you can't define or quantify love. Still love is a very loosely used and most abused word.

Yes, we all are logical, we like logic. But do we follow any limits or rationale in applying logic to all situation including love?

Very true.. they are so humble to say even these words. And anyone saying or using the word unconditional has in-fact already applied the logic or has some hidden agenda behind this.

A catalyst to enhance the intensity of other emotions you feel for a person.

I would say that other emotions do this too - you must concur that Occam's razor dictates that my explanation is much more palatable than yours.
Jealousy and infatuation oft go hand in hand and encourage each other to effect a manic spiral of actions the unafflicted would describe as mental. Deeply caring for someone coupled with an ingrained loyalty to that person can lead to a state approaching perfect altruism.

I suggest that the your last stems from the illogical nature of emotions; it might be more sensible for my missus to be scared of walking home from the pub alone than of spiders, instead she will stagger home and then pish in the kitchen sink cus there's a spider in the bath.
We cannot plan or decide to feel excitement, panic or happiness. Just like we cannot decide which person our broiling menagerie of emotions will tell us that we 'love'.

I suppose there has got to be something in the definition of love that includes the sink pisser not being subject to homelessness, or battery. If not loved, at least the minimum standard for such a relationship rises to "VERY good friend"- one whose urinary boundaries have become marginalized...

There's a time factor involved as well as the expectation that they would allow you to cross a similar foul line. Few would allow sink use violation on a first, or second, date- even if the sex is above average. :noes:

Perhaps this test could be used by daters who are uncertain if the relationship is "going anywhere". :sly:

My favorite song written by Bowie is called Kooks, it reminds me of the time i first listened to hunky dory all the way through, I was in art class in 1991 or something like that, we started throwing clay around and making it stick to the ceiling and I made a huge sculpture that collapsed.

I had a teenage crush on a girl who was a friend of a friend, so embarrassing when you like someone that doesnt like you in that way, and at the same time someone is in love with you but you cant see her as anything more than a best friend, I cried a lot. The end.

Will you stay in our Lovers' Story
If you stay you won't be sorry
'Cause we believe in you

We bought a lot of things to keep you warm and dry
And a funny old crib on which the paint won't dry
I bought you a pair of shoes
A trumpet you can blow
And a book of rules
On what to say to people when they pick on you
'Cause if you stay with us you're gonna be pretty Kookie too

Will you stay in my Lovers' Story
If you stay you won't be sorry

And if you ever have to go to school
Remember how they messed up this old fool
Don't pick fights with the bullies or the cads
'Cause I'm not much cop at punching
Other people's Dads
And if the homework brings you down
Then we'll throw it on the fire
And take the car downtown

For everyone in here, love is also a feeling you have towards your siblings, parents, children. I wouldn't be so quick to equate it with lust...

Love is rather a sense of deep caring

A relationship starts out on lust, interest, affection. Eventually, the feeling of love is introduced and grown from a general investment into the other person. Once the relationship gets promoted by the acknowledged addition of love, the original drives of lust, interest, affection, etc. start to decline in variable rates. Eventually you'll end up with a hag/stretchysack who you don't care to fuck, kiss or listen to, but you'll be damned if you don't love the bitch/bastard. Either that or you just knock boots less often.

Of course, this all occurs in competition with contempt and feelings of its ilk, so that could alter the course in various ways. Love and contempt can coexist, just think about the relationships you might have with some of your family members, current lovers, exes.

Where does logic come into play? Well, it works into the development of love, your interpretation and understanding of the other person is a product of logic, and allows you to actively or subconsciously evaluate their worth in terms of your emotional investment. Logic plays its role in all of these factors that lead in and out of being in love. Logic is what keeps you from merely consuming their flesh and rolling around the floor covered in their innards.

Maybe too serious for a lounge post, I promise to derail subsequently.

That's what I said, expanded into mind-blowing tedium.


lolwut the fucking fuck :lol:

===

I liked Mary Joe's post above about love being a sense of deep caring. I think it's wrong, though. Each time a commentator tries to quantify love, he or she ends up describing it as something else. Something different. Something that most certainly isn't love.

Oh, love is deeply caring about someone? Really, well isn't that just caring deeply. How deeply must one care before it's love. How deep is the line that separates love from care.
Love is when you take more pleasure in that person's pleasure than your own. Isn't that selflessness.
Love is when you can't get a person out of your mind. That's infatuation.
Love is when you get a funny feeling in the pit of your stomach when you think about someone. That's adrenaline released when you get excited. So, excitement.
Love is when the desire to look after someone over-rides everything else. Yeah, we're back to deeply caring again.

The are many more I could write, but I think that's enough for people to get the gist.
Basically I think what we describe as love is a mixture of any and all of these emotions. The more deeply you care/the more infatuated you are/the more you'd do for your partner, the more 'in love' you are.
You can't say it, though, because then you'd be accused of being cynical or 'incapable of love' or a sociopath. When people say; 'I love you', what they're actually saying is that they believe that the feelings they harbour toward the recipient of their utterance roughly equates to what they feel society's definition of love is.
Most people know this but it's left unsaid as it's so much easier to grunt 'I love you too'.


Love is the most intangible of intangibles. The reason for this is simple;
It doesn't exist.

I've revised my opinion. This is the definitive post on the subject, all further discourse will be ignored.


Isn't this thread ironic to the macs? A bunch of unlovable bastards and an unloving ball breaker all discussing love. :wub:


EDIT: And a moron (welcome, WhatCD)...

Fuck you.

Anyway, so if we assume that what Manker said is true (and I do), why is it there still isn't a better term of appreciation to use than 'I love you'? That phrase always pops into my head during the fifth or sixth bout of coitus with the same individual , earlier if narcotics are involved, and it irritates the fuck out of me. I don't say it, obviously, but that's probably the only time it ever feels natural to say it (in a romantic context). And I know it's not just me, because if a man is going to say it to me it will be while doing something mucky, every time. Then obviously the floodgates are opened for subsequent mentions, because once you've said it it becomes as commonplace as farting. So what is it people are really saying when they say 'I love you'?

So you think that love is some kind of emotional enzyme. A catalyst to enhance the intensity of other emotions you feel for a person.

I would say that other emotions do this too - you must concur that Occam's razor dictates that my explanation is much more palatable than yours.
Jealousy and infatuation oft go hand in hand and encourage each other to effect a manic spiral of actions the unafflicted would describe as mental. Deeply caring for someone coupled with an ingrained loyalty to that person can lead to a state approaching perfect altruism.

I suggest that the your last stems from the illogical nature of emotions; it might be more sensible for my missus to be scared of walking home from the pub alone than of spiders, instead she will stagger home and then pish in the kitchen sink cus there's a spider in the bath.
We cannot plan or decide to feel excitement, panic or happiness. Just like we cannot decide which person our broiling menagerie of emotions will tell us that we 'love'.

I'd forgotten about this thread.

No I don't, I know love is a completely separate emotion. I shan't say anymore, because I'm not willing to feed the dickheads who occupy this site. Sorry I have tried, but it's not possible to put into words without the likes of chavis thinking he can make hay with it.

Easy, I'll explain it in this equation:
y = my level of satiation
x = number of women
c = number of unsatisfied women

You think it works this way
y = x - c
When in fact it works this way
y = x - c/100

And spoiler if you detest math
It would take dissatisfying 100 women to negate the satisfaction of 1 woman. It's basically heavily egocentric.

Not in my case. I own a home in a block that belongs to the local governing body (council). They own some of the other flats and they're responsible for the upkeep of communal areas for which I pay a service charge. The EU has decided that certain fire safety standards have to be met in publically owned buildings, which mine is, and so even though I have an exemption for control of my own doors and windows I still have to replace my door, which is only a couple of years old, because it falls below standard. I'm pretty pissed off about it because I don't just have a spare £800 lying around.

The fire regulation thing seems totally mental - how often fires spread from one house to another via the front door :blink:

NotLettingItGo
11-25-2011, 09:30 PM
If your house has had new uPVC doors fitted they will have undoubtedly come with some kind of certification listing a whole load of BS standards the doors comply with. Relevant BS standards are BS476-8 (standard doors) and/or BS476-22 (fire doors).

The regulations for doors and how they react to fire haven't been updated since 1972, so it's exceptionally unlikely that your doors do not already comply with building regulations as far as fire resistance is concerned.

The regulations concerning means of escape have been updated, and obviously doors and windows are affected by those updates.

The relevant guidelines for that can be found in these documents (Building Regs -> Fire Safety) http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/buildingregulations/approveddocuments/partb/bcapproveddocumentsb/documentb

You'll want Volume 1 (dwellinghouses) and you'll find the information about requirements for means of escape in section B1 paragraph 2.8, on the bottom of page 19. It's the measurements that are legally required for a door/window to be legally acceptable as a means of escape.

You might also need to consider paragraphs 2.15 and 2.17 of that section, if your door opens out onto a communal escape route.

Ask them exactly what this replacement door is going to provide you with that your current door doesn't? And what standard that is?

I cannot believe that there is a single building in the UK with a door that doesn't comply with the fire safety regulations after all these years. So I will be amazed if your door needs replacing to meet fire safety standards, that were last updated in 1988 (that's the means of escape updates).

1st quarter of the calendar year or first quarter of the financial year? You could spin this out to June :shifty:

The fire regulation thing seems totally mental - how often fires spread from one house to another via the front door :blink:

Unfortunately I think it's the first quarter of the calendar year!

I know, it seems crazy. Although my front door does open out onto a shared central vestibule area. Apparently doors have to be certified able to withstand 30 minutes of fire according to these new EU rules. I'm going to get a second opinion :)

There are two fire resistance ratings FD20 and FD30. All doors fitted to any building in the UK have had to comply with one of those ratings since 1972.

Most internal doors are rated at FD20, and most external doors are rated at FD30 (they were always made thicker for security, and the extra thickness automatically provided the extra fire resistance anyway).

FD30 means the door has to be able to withstand direct fire to one side of it without failing (ie allowing the fire to get through it) for a period of 30 minutes.

So you should definitely get a second opinion, and if it's uPVC see if you can find a certificate from whomever installed it, it'll be kitemarked on there to say which standards it conforms too. It might also be worth looking on the top edge of the door, some manufacturers put labels on the top egde of the door to indicate it's fire protection rating.

Oh! The FD30 is the British name for the 30 minute standard E30 is the name our European overlords have given it.

So from the sound of it your council are requiring a certified door that meets BS476-22 rated to FD30 and/or E30.

Before you look into it query the exact requirements the council want, in 2005/6 there were some updates that required some firedoors to be fitted with automatic closing mechanisms (applications of that vary between local authorities), if they want that you can get that, just remember to never step outside of your front door without a key on you.

You'll also find references to seals when you hunt around (all firedoors have to have edges that have expanding seals when heated, thus sealing the door into the frame if a fire happens), so you'll get them anyway as part of it being a certified firedoor.

Ya know, as a dude 'n all, I've never ever even slightly understood why someone would want to see a picture of bawls :blink: I mean seriously, they look like the prunes at the back of the fruit stand that have been in the sun waaaaaay too long, sort of God's little afterthought, or maybe he had just run out of tidy ideas or simply sneezed (alot) during the draughting process.

Mine were rather nice until I hit 40. Perhaps I'll spring for some cosmetic surgery on them in the cumming years. The excess skin could be donated to help a burn victim, or perhaps, provide hair replacement for a balding African-American...

I will say in my own defence, that the last chicken in the shop look depends on how bad the MSB is. Since I am married there are many times when they look quite fullsome rather than drained, but then that is the whole point of being married, to have someone to ignore you on a regular basis.
