what is love? how should we love? is proper loving possible in our current culture? i try to talk about these questions in the video. however, please don't take this as an attack on your relationships -- i fail to treat love the way i say we should as well. it's really difficult to be good at love, and so the best we can do is try :)

You know my girlfriend has serious anxiety. She cannot drive, doesn’t have a job, struggles getting outside. I drive 4 hours to see her drive her everywhere, pay for her meals, and many would wonder why I would do that? I have had girls do that kind of thing and I dropped them quickly, but with her it just doesn’t feel that way. It’s really the smile on her face. The love in her eyes. Her jumping into my arms before I leave and when I come back because she is just so happy for me to be there. Her telling me about her great things, her struggles, all of her. It’s the little note she left on my bed that still brings tears to my eyes of her saying “thank you for believing in me, I love you.” Its the thoughtful little gifts she gives. That makes it worth it. Her giving isn’t big, but I know its big for her and that makes it worth it.

She had severe anxiety and depression, struggled getting out of bed, doesn’t have her drivers license, and ended up quitting college after her 3rd year due to health problems. She did and still does display the affection you described and we’re married now, she was so anxious about me being the only one working for a while but I always reassure her. We are living a wonderful life together and she is now finding her calling as a virtual assistant, and is helping me achieve my dreams as well. I wish you continued success with your relationship.

@billybob7135 Місяць тому
When I started studying pickup, I saw how distorted society's view of love is. Silence is golden. Having disagreements and talking about them is normal. Attraction is made out of understanding. Ironically, it's society's misconception of how love works that makes people awkward. We think that nodding along and not being a downer works, when it makes you awkward. We want to make a grand gesture when small interactions are what create happiness. We want to shower the other person with praise to be "empathetic" when a single, genuine compliment that starts a conversation is better.

Gonna edit this cause there's some more things i wanna add: -If you play when you feel like it, you're gonna perceive playing piano as a fun activity, and in turn, you will practice more often -Obviously you're not gonna improve if you barely practice, so you gotta make practice interesting for yourself. I like to learn by playing songs that i enjoy listening, and while classical music is wonderful, i have the most fun playing Van Halen or The Doors :)

INCREDIBLE! You are very very close to the understanding Buddha found. A human conception of love is conditional, or “transactional” and it only happens when a lover meets our preferences. Unconditional or “divine” love is loving regardless of the person being loved. And no matter what. The purest form of love is loving your enemy. Letting go of your preferences reveals this unconditional love and it’s very freeing and transformative.

@someguycalledcerberus9805 2 роки тому
I think it's also this idea that whenever things go bad in a relationship, it happened specifically because of something the _other_ person was doing. "My last relationship had trait X and we ended up fighting and breaking up. Clearly trait X is a deal-breaker." This completely ignores the possibility that relationship troubles could be caused by a number of interacting factors. It's also that people just don't want to invest into each other. No-one wants a fixer-upper. "It's not MY responsibility to manage YOUR issues!" is such a toxic way of looking at relationships. Obviously, there is something to be said for not starting a relationship with someone who is severely mentally ill, but discarding someone because they may have insecurities or some emotional troubles is way too high a bar. EVERYONE has some emotional issues, and helping each other to overcome them is the most beautiful aspect of a relationship.

@jessdoritowhale 2 роки тому
It’s a good and bad thing. Looking out for red flags is important so that you know what is good and bad for you before the relationship or even within a relationship. I’ve known so many friends relapse into depression and SH because of how fucked up their “lovers” have treated them and this is because they simply didn’t know the red flags bc they were slight, they were slow, and a creeping toxin you don’t realize you are in until it’s too late. It’s never a bad thing to be informed, it’s never a bad thing to point out bad traits of a person, such as being judgmental to other people and yourself, being very boundary breaking, etc etc. What I DONT agree with with “red flag culture”, are the people who consider a person named “Kyle” a red flag, or someone who wants to take pride in weight lifting as red flag, or a someone who wears a shit ton a makeup as a “red flag”. It’s when people judge people based on innocent interests and thing they can’t control when things get too ridiculous. If you tone down red flags to silly minuet things, then the REAL red flags start to fade to pink, and we are back to square one to red flags being this invisible toxin we don’t realize we are in until it is too late.

If they need to message a specific person but doesnt want them knowing their own snapchat account. 2. If they want to maybe pull a prank in the future. 3.

I still agree with "If he wanted to, he would". The phrase is not necessarily about reading your mind. But if you say you want something and it is realistic for your situation, then "If he wanted to, he would". You shouldn't have to beg for what you want and need in a relationship. I had to BEG my ex for us to go out. Never took me out. My current boyfriend, I say "We should go on a date". He's like "Okay, when". Or "We should go to the Museum". Or "Let's visit XYZ". There is no begging...because he wants to, so he does.

@@427skies while yes, you describe it well, the phrase still doesnt work, you have to communicate, what if he wants to take you out but is too shy to ask you? Or wants to know if youre busy but doesnt know how to ask without sounding needy? This phrase doesnt apply to every single guy, because there could be a number of reasons as to why he isnt, not to mention you dont hear "if she wanted to, she would" sometimes it goes the other way around where the women refuse to treat their men to anything, because they wait for him to make the approach, which puts pressure on him and leads to the relationships downfall

Thisss. My parents aren't romantic people that much, but they say they love eachother till the end of their days. The most romantic thing any of my parents has done to the other was gifting a rose and a book for St George's day (my mom bought my dad the rose while my dad bought her the book, changing the usual tradition of the men gifting flowers and the women gifting the books just bc they felt like they wanted to) and a plushie for their first anniversary (my dad gifted her dog plushie after they were talking about having a dog together). They say the show their love to the other in more mundane things; such as hugging the other while watching movies in the sofa, talking while lying in bed before sleeping, "insulting" the other as a game or serving the other a meal they like.

My husband and I have been very much in love for 10 years now. We get along so well and he is my best friend. I would say find someone who shares similar morals and values with you, not starting the relationship off for the wrong reasons like superficially or for money or status, but that you respect and admire them as a person and just generally like talking to them. Because what you really want to be able to do is to build and maintain a healthy, steady and strong bond with that person. We learned a lot of communication skills and I studied healthy relationship dynamics and we both did therapy and personal development. We really just try to stay as non toxic as we can with each other and continually check in to make sure that we are still in a healthy place. So yea, I would say find somebody you like, and who is willing to work on themselves and learn the skills that you need to learn to be able to maintain a healthy relationship, because that way you won’t fall out of love as easily in the relationship later in time.

the term 'red flag' is definitely being misused, but i always thought red flags were originally supposed to indicate possible future abuse, not that a person might have traits you can't stand.
@alanamontero4743 2 роки тому
It is. That was the original meaning. I think part of what has happened is that certain ideas and words and phrases are being taken from their original context and misused. Likewise, with "if he wanted to, he would", which originally referred to not making excuses for partners who are being incredibly selfish and neglectful, aren't contributing to housework, aren't considering the woman's pleasure, etc. AFTER the issues have repeatedly been raised. I think the biggest factor in watering down and changing the meaning has been social media. A similar thing has happened with terms like "gaslighting." It's so unhelpful.
@cizd Рік тому
I only see a small portion of the web because algorithms, but I've mostly seen it for indicators of someone who is emotionally or physically abusive, neglectful, and so on. There are also people who use it kind of jokingly like "My last 3 gamer boyfriends were abusive so if he games he's abusive". I've never seen it be used for anything else.
@TheHimalaiaNinja Рік тому
Its new use is misleading though, it infers that if 9 out of 10 people with perms i've *personally* had contact with were abusive then all of them are. Or that a behavior is always correlated with another. It goes against what these people supposedly believe, for it is prejudice/bias in its purest form.

I've been in a few relationships, and what has helped me most so far was literally to love myself first. I've done that step. And now I don't feel like I have to rely on anyone else to keep me happy or to give me their love, I already have my own. They are now just an extention of me, and I am an extention of them, we're not "each others half", we are whole and work in two wholes that make one. I never again want to be in a relationship where I feel like if I left and pulled my half out of the deal all of them would collapse. Now I am still looking and searching, but not relying on finding that one true love. I can be patient. Even if I grow old and am alone I'd still be happy.

But yes if you view relationships as a transactional interaction you're probably going to be unsatisfied with your partners, spending your life looking down on the inferior selfish men.

I honestly disagreed with that because most of the time when you do things that make you feel confident it makes you feel confident because YOU like it. Sure it could because you want to conform to societies standards so badly that it blinds you own opinions on how you can look but for a lot of people feeling confident stems from projecting how they feel on the inside to the outside and not caring about what others think. That is true confidence because if you have the confidence that is only there because you feel more desirable it’s not really what confidence is because a little part of you won’t like how you look just like what others think of you. But also idk this is just what I thought and wanted to share in case anyone found this interesting. And btw I am using you as in you in general not you personally because I don’t even know you lol.

To be frank, i've been celibate (by choice) for about 20 years after my dip into relationships early on and then decision to dip out. It's just cycles of emotional addiction and loss and....i feel the cycles help to push some to character development, but mostly it's just a mess. I don't know.

After the 2 years of doing this & observing me, she pretended to confuse me due to masks to talk to me & 2 months later talked to me again on another occasion, so I invited her on a date and we got together very quickly.

Its about the commitment you gave to that person, whether they are perfect or not, we are all humans and deserve love, love is a feeling, but also a choice.

@Nova's Garden I also think (I don’t know I could be wrong, I just saw it somewhere else) that constant “in love” feeling happens when you first start dating someone is called the honeymoon phase it usually happens (more or less) the first 6 months of dating. after those feelings it’s up to you if you still want commit. Also just because the honeymoon phase ended doesn’t mean that (most of the time) you don’t love them anymore you’re just comfortable with them enough (I can’t find a better word to describe it). Sorry for this bummy explanation lol

Another thought I had: a lot of people posting about love these days are EXTREMELY young, like 15, 16, etc who are in relationships. Unfortunately, immature love is often a commodity. For example: you learn about the concept of a "crush" in elementary school, and then pick the "best" member of the opposite sex in your class to develop artificial feelings for and even "date." It's about getting that person to like you back, not necessarily sharing a deep emotional intimacy - it is a material conquest. It is a part of growing up, but with the development of social media, young people are displaying this type of affection as real. Young teens describe dramatic love triangles to their impressionable audience which normalizes this one-dimensional perception of what it is to love someone.

@yourstruly4145 2 роки тому
This is so true. I’m a freshman in high school and I notice that everyone around me seems to have a significant other. They post about each other constantly. I was talking to my mother about it, and she said when she was my age, everyone had s/o’s but it was never as serious as it is today. They’d go out and break it off after a week and move on. Today, it seems as if teenagers want to grow up faster, and one of the ways they achieve this is by dating. I notice that a lot of my peers post about how they “love” their boyfriend/girlfriend, and act as if they’ll be together forever. They have this fantasy that they’ll marry each other, but it’s such an unrealistic ideal. It usually ends up with them breaking up in a couple of weeks. I’ve always thought of those people as extremely immature, but I’ve come to the conclusion that they are just young and stupid. I’ve never dated anyone. I could’ve had a girlfriend; in fact she thought that we were dating, but I had to reject her because I’m young and simply don’t have the time to commit to something that my other partner will want me to commit to. It’s funny to me that everyone my age automatically jumps to the first person that shows them any affection and they end up dating, even though there is no chemistry. It’s been pushed from society for a while.

I think it’s very interesting that you chose Leonardo DiCaprio’s role in this movie (which I don’t know lol) as an example of hyperreal or reality-detached love. Leonardo DiCaprio is almost like the perfect example for this concept as most of his romantic roles show him as the perfect man who will always stick beside his love; when in actuality, he will dump her at 25. I know it’s a tired joke, but, it does relate to the subtopic of not being able to compare the love you do or don’t have to hyperreal examples.

Our teacher laughed and told us that there was waaayyyyy more to the book but that that was a part of it. Isn’t that funny?

There is an expectation of romantic love being this 'electrifying' feeling, when it fact it is as mundane as loving our family or friends. We don't shower each other gifts or give extravagant declarations of love for these people in our lives, what defines a good friendship or familial relationship is communication and effort to build understanding. We are conditioned into believing that being thrilled or constantly smothered by your partner equals fulfilment, when it is actually just being comfortable in each others presence. In fact many relationships around me are formed on these over the top performances of love but lack the foundation of trust and communicating. Something which we think of as 'boring'.
@luaourus 2 роки тому
As someone with BPD, this is actually very interesting. Because I _do_ experience an electrifying feeling in loving my family and friends. Love, to me, is never mundane. But that actually means that I don’t need extravagance and crazy passion; what fulfills me is trust, companionship, and understanding, because the extravagance and passion is already inherent to me. Having that balance is what makes love worthy.

With this you should be sure you’re showing love to your partner as well, but if it’s constantly 80/20 or even 60/40 it gets lonely. So those that sincerely say that I think say it out of a way where they want it to be equal and to feel loved.

She doesn’t do stuff for you because she doesn’t have to. After all of the fluffy idealistic talk, men and women pair bond when there’s a mutual benefit formed.

This isn’t some cultural force imposed on us by some “patriarchy” it’s human economics and supply-and-demand. It’s difficult for you to get laid regularly, that’s why you’re willing to be in a one-sided relationship with another human when you would never agree to something so one-sided with your male friends. You do it because you want sex which is the only thing your gf offers over the love and companionship your male friends offer.
