Well, it certainly is not rational.

As real as chemistry is.

It's as real as any other emotion or feeling. If you ever find yourself doubting that your feelings are real, stab yourself in the hand and try telling yourself
>The pain isn't real, it's just some chemicals in my brain.

No OP, everyone throughout all of history who claimed to experience love was just lying.

The feeling of love is a chemical reaction, but actually understanding and enjoying who a person is that can go along with that emotion has real significance. Sure we're still driven by instinct at its core, but that doesn't invalidate the intimate interpersonal relationship it leads to.

Or in other words, it can be real, depending on how you define it, but you might be doing it wrong.

Most people babble lots of stupid and lies. You mistake urges and lust with love. If half marriages end in divorce, the the other half is faking it.
Look at all the people willing to text/drive, kill you and then lie and say, "No, Officer, I wasn't texting driving." Do you believe even one of them loves themselves, their family, me, you? They have only hate.

There seems to be, degrees of hate for self and others. If there ever be love, there will be peace and sanity, accountability and consequence.

Of course it's real, it's a biological construct to induce mating and bonding for a breeding season.

Who really doubts the existence of biological mechanisms to induce the mind into extreme bonding? What you have to doubt and be skeptic is the idealized cultural construct.
