Is romantic love a purely Western concept? Nobody else seems

>>67147841
No one else has time for soppy shit like that.

>>67147841

I don't even understand the meaning of love. What's the practical purpose of that concept?

>>67147841
i dont get the word romantic

Love exist.
You can see it in her eyes.

>>67148076

The general bare bones definition is caring about someone more than yourself

>>67147841
Love is not exactly real. Humans just happen to be overly emotional and overly dramatic.

>the practical purpose
that parents stick together to raise and protect the offspring

Romantic love is real, because why else would white women working as refugee camp volunteers have sex with literal homeless bums?

There's no love without being romantic. About anything.

Yes, if remember correctly, in one version they slept in the same bed for several years, but he didn't realize that she is a woman.

BTW, google "The Butterfly Lowers violin concerto" - it's great

Romantic love is a male trait. Females will feel something similar as long as the male provides. Female unconditional 'devotion' is reserved for offspring. A mother will die for a child never a mate.
Shit reality check but, it's the truth. Men have on average 10 years less existence on this rock than women. Testosterone is blamed but reality is, it's stress. All male mammals suffer it.
Women and romance is the biggest irony. Men are the only romantics.

true

sadly, true love cannot exist then

you might say, but what about love between two males? only camaraderie kind of love, which is more like ultra-good friendship, which is amazing ofcourse, and a precious gift, but it's not romantic love

otherwise it's homo, and homos are mentally ill, that's a scientific fact, so how can we speak about true love if it's between mentally ill people
