Is love really blind?

silentpilot6 said:Reading through that famous controversial thread on Reddit, one question really stuck with me. Is Love actually blind? It probably is deaf and foolish, too...
Initially, I intended to write about women who consciously enter relationships with married men and end up getting burned every single time. They waste years of their lives on some idiot who feeds them lines and promises the moon and stars—promises he almost never keeps. But seeing all the stories posted there, I can't help but wonder if it's just blindness or if people are simply... I'd rather just say they're fools. 😬
I should probably make this personal and reflect on my own past experiences... at one point, I was involved with a married woman. The thing was, she was actually a great person; I genuinely liked her. But the moment I realized this "crush" might turn into something more serious, I walked away. I had no desire to get tangled up in those kinds of situations that almost never have a happy ending.

To get to the point... why do some people allow their partners (and I don't just mean married ones) to treat them like complete fools? Like they're totally blind despite having perfectly good eyesight... essentially, just pushovers.
Where is their logic? Where is their pride? Where is their common sense? Is Love truly blind, deaf, and foolish...
Do people honestly believe that Love conquers all? It doesn't. And even that version of Love (at least the kind we see in these threads) is almost always one-sided.
It’s sad—people suffer, endure pain, and humiliate themselves... they push away friends and family and fall into financial or other messes, all for the sake of people who clearly don't love them back.

The Legion stands alone. It’s like a lone wolf facing a pack of hyenas—strength isn't found in numbers, but in conviction. The user says:
I find certain things frankly repulsive. Playing at being a doormat or using punching bags—it’s bizarre behavior. Don't you agree, Drew Morgan?

You’re being weird—period. If you think I’m the strange one, fine—I’ll just have to study them. ☕

I’ll admit we see things differently. I’m not surprised you’d burn the whole world to the ground just to save a single human being. You’re a racial specialist and an anthropocentrist—how could I expect anything else?

The Legion is a force to be reckoned with. It’s like a heavy artillery division rolling through an open field—unstoppable and absolute. Drew Morgan says:
Are those Megashupendaras weird or just plain stupid? Some certainly are. Take that Megashupendara guy—he’s a total freak among freaks. As for Pelin, he’s been exposed as a fraud, so he isn't even worth the breath it takes to mention him.
What does "stupid" even mean? You can be born an idiot. 😬 It’s the lesser of two evils. You can't blame that individual; anyone can become an idiot simply by choosing to switch off their brain. Plenty of Megashupendaras—especially those long-time Megashupendaras—have made a career out of it. Switching off your brain isn't exactly a stroke of genius, is it? And if it isn't smart, then what do we call it? 😉

They didn't just switch their brains off by choice; they hit some kind of bizarre neurological glitch. It’s strange to me, too—honestly, it's pretty intriguing.

Regarding Megashupendara, he isn't some oddball; he is an exceptionally organized and steady individual. As for Pelin, there is zero proof he ever lied. That’s just a baseless standard cooked up by that little clique from the USA—don't mistake their internal gossip for actual truth.

The Legion is an absolute joke. It’s nothing more than a disorganized mob masquerading as a force. Real power requires structure, not just noise. [Drew Morgan] says:
The concept of "temporary measures" is a joke. This isn't lasting a day or even a couple of months; we’re talking about years. It's like calling a permanent fixture a placeholder.

I’ve said it before—this isn't just the flu. It can drag on indefinitely depending on the individual.

Drew Morgan said:The moment this world—which is supposedly run by the majority (though I don't buy that for a second)—actually starts behaving logically, then I'll concede that majority rule makes sense. Until then, common sense should always trump a headcount.

Drew Morgan said:That’s your opinion, if you say so...😍

It doesn't change the reality that Megashupendara is a rational individual who just endured a bizarre encounter with a blonde chain.

And that's that...

silentpilot6 said:And I am studying them as well... by reading up on the subject and opening discussions regarding psychology...

I admit, I am a speciesist. Fine. 👍 And you're a vegan extremist. 🤣
That strange state of brain shutdown... it's not about the gut, it's about the neck. It's not nonsense, it's just reality. 😁
Megashupendara is Megashupendara... a stable person. 🤣 Come on, let's just say that. In my view, anyone who allows themselves to be manipulated that heavily cannot be considered a stable person, regardless of how perfect or righteous they might be in every other aspect.

Drew Morgan said:By the way, explain to me why letting a woman like that trample you would be okay? Does having social status just magically strip away your loser status? Is that how it works? If she’s important, suddenly you aren't a nobody? That logic is flawed.

silentpilot6 said:Often, though certainly not always, the majority does represent common sense... and this world is never going to become "exemplary." While I don't necessarily believe the majority is in charge either, I'm not exactly a conspiracy theorist... I'd say Pareto was spot on with his theory regarding elites, but I suppose this isn't the sociology subforum😁...

Ultimately, if the majority decides something is good, bad, black, white, crazy, or normal, then for all intents and purposes, 😬 that's just how it is.

Gerald Ward61 said:Legion, you’re forgetting that their reality is basically warped... I mean, after being suspended so many times, anyone would just retreat into a different version of the truth just to survive the pain. You know how it goes: they convince themselves it wasn't actually them, that they used to be such a great person before everything went south... It's a defense mechanism. Honestly, I can barely even deal with these spikes lately... 🙄Once people finally "snap out of it"—if they even realize what happened—they’re usually just totally lost. Or worse, they start swinging wildly toward the complete opposite extreme just to feel something. It takes forever to find any kind of balance again... honestly, we're talking years. And there's always that massive risk that they won't stumble into anything better than their old, messy baseline, so they just end up crashing right back into the exact same type of toxic relationship... typical.

But hey, let's get a word from our girl cock-a-doodle-doo... I wonder how exactly she was weaving all that magic together... right there in those soft lady parts of hers... 🙂

silentpilot6 said:I disagree; I think your reasoning is what's actually off.
Let's look at this logically... we all look for specific qualities in a potential partner. The more traits someone possesses that matter to us, the more we like them, and the faster we fall in love... isn't that how it works?
Furthermore, I'd assume that a relationship with a stunning supermodel who holds three degrees and is the life of every party would be higher quality than a relationship with some bitter person who lies around the bed like a dead fish and has one incredibly boring friend... wouldn't you agree?
I know you're focusing strictly on looks to try and derive some kind of social validation. Look, no matter how much people pretend otherwise, 😁 appearance matters... even if those who claim differently are just lying to themselves. 😬 Sure, it's not everything, and it's certainly not the most important thing, but if I had to choose between two people who are equal in every other way, but one is a supermodel and the other is a total nightmare, 😬 who would anyone pick?

To simplify it even further... if I'm going to drink wine and deal with a headache, I'd much rather drink a high-end vintage and suffer the next day 😁, than gulp down some cheap, sour swill...

silentpilot6 said:I know their perception of reality is skewed... let's try to pinpoint exactly why that distortion is happening.
I agree that while everyone has their own individual motivations, they can still be categorized into certain groups. It isn't quite as chaotic as it seems; there aren't actually that many distinct reasons at play here.

Drew Morgan said:Hmm. That logic only holds up if "common sense" is just a subjective label or if you equate it directly with popular opinion.

See the flaw? If the majority actually possessed common sense, the elites wouldn't be in charge.

Gerald Ward61 said:Please, it’s not exactly some deep state conspiracy: it's just straight-up masochism. They've been sorted into cliques forever.
What else do you want from me?

Gerald Ward61 said:Man, soul, just now saw your reply... or post, whatever. Better late than never, right? Keeping this brief so I don't end up bugging you with some endless back-and-forth over the next ten pages... 😉

Speaking of being suspended... one thing is for sure: it's easiest to manipulate someone who trusts you and is hungry for your affection. And you know how that goes with being sidelined... the less they give you, the more you crave it. It's a spiral. Usually, the people they end up with are folks who don't know how to give love at all, so it's just a never-ending loop.

Is there anything wrong with sulking? Depends on the person. For me, sulking gets on my nerves if it's actually about being hurt. I'm not apologizing for sulking, though, because that's just rude behavior and I'm not about that life.

Why apologize? It's always good to apologize when you feel the need to lighten your soul. 😉

Drew Morgan said:Logical fallacy! Using social status or "objective qualities" as a metric for attraction is nonsense. Falling in love is purely subjective.

Gerald Ward61 said:Look, Vince, here's the reality check: as people get older, they actually start to grasp what life is all about, and they become way more intentional about who they date. Just because some supermodel has three Ivy League degrees doesn't mean she's a catch. Honestly, someone with those exact specs could just be a massive pain in the ass. For people who have actually built something for themselves, what really matters is finding an equal... plain and simple.

Drew Morgan said:Based on what I've seen, I've come to this conclusion: everyone—except you, of course 😍—has a weakness. Think of Achilles' heel. It's like a specific socket that requires a very specific plug. That’s how it works. Not every victim will fall for it; only the one who hits that exact frequency, the one who has the right plug for that specific socket.
