Makes more sense to trust your 12 gauge than another person tbh. A 12 Gauge isn't gonna betray you at the drop of a hat

Yet,oddly, I understand exactly what Fateweaver is saying.

I do have feelings for one gal though. Just friends right now as she lives 1,000 miles away but she's been considering moving here.

So far though my guns have never let me down.

Noone in this world can you trust. Not men, not women, not beasts....

This you can trust.....*Points 9mm at you*

"Love" is not a biochemical reaction. The desire to procreate is. "Love" is just a delusion.

I relay can't help but think this is being wrong. or just wrongly said. Love technicality is a biochemical reaction. love is basically a group of feelings created by a spontaneous release of chemicals in the brain when a potential mate or such thing comes along.

Being heart broken is basically just withdrawal symptoms gained by a lack of i think its endorphins(don't quote me, it might be another group of chems) and its also brought on by not having something to do(boredom makes withdrawal symptoms a lot worse).

That may not make sense to a lot of people, but i worked with someone who did quite a bit of research on the topic of "love" and such things. Our behavior depends on person to person with everything. some people like wolfs only have 1 life mate. others may have a new one every few days(less like love more like getting the release from the activity.).

But believe what you want, the chemical reactions happen and feelings are had/made. Don't let me change your mind with some fact that may not actually be true. I just know what i believe in.

Only a 9?

The Pacisifist?

The man in the Orbital Station aiming the Nuke at both aggressors?

No, the guy who picks you both off from 6,000 feet with a Barrett M107

**Fateweaver**

The pacifist will be the first one shot, especially if he is within my 180 degree field of vision. LOL.

This is trailing OT. Lets spread some love and then after we'll spread some mayo over a toasty warm bun and then cover it with thick slices of ham and swiss cheese.

Hmm, now I'm hungry.

**IvanTih**

Yes I belive in love.I love my magnum .44 the most powerful handgun in the world and I love moar dakka.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Dare I suggest Fateweaver just described a distinctly homoerotic snack?

**Fateweaver**

Don't know. Never pictured a ham and cheese as homoerotic.

To each his own.

**Orkeosaurus**

Get your mind out of the gutter MDG, my male companions and I spread our mayo on each other's toasty warm buns all the time.

And then pile on the meat?

**Orkeosaurus**

Yeah, we usually put quite a bit of hot meat between our buns.

Why?

**FITZZ**

You will excuse me,as I now have a large amount of soda to clean up...carry on.

**Lord-Loss**

This is why Orkeo is my fav Dakka poster.

**Gwar!**

Yes, hot sausage between buns with mayonnaise. Most manly meal ever!

I hope I do. With a wife and 4 kids, I'd better!

Orkeo+FITZZ: Sigged.

On-topic: I've never had a romantic relationship with anyone, but I do believe in love. I very much doubt anyone who loves you would just betray you at the drop of a hat. And yes, it makes you do some crazy things... like my mother staying with my father despite him being an alchoholic drug-addicted wifebeater.

**Black Blow Fly**

Love is an enigma. Truly evil people supposedly do not have the capacity to love. It will completely change your life. If you think about it the majority of songs are about love. Some are tragic. Oh well.

**HellsGuardian316**

Despite the word being made hollow by poeple proclaiming their love for their local Indian takeaway or their love for Ford cars. Yes I believe in the Love between two people. And some day hope to feel it again with the right person.

Of course I really do feel sorry for the poor gal who ends up with me, she really doesn't know what she would be getting herself into when she realises how nerdy I can be.

EDIT: I am, not I can be

**Black Blow Fly**

Hey sometimes it works out. : )

Other people seem to experience it. I've just been in lust, and come down really hard from it being unrequited.

I hope I never fall in "true love". I suspect it would have a serious negative impact on my ability to make sound, rational, utility-maximizing decisions.
