How do you quantify love? Do you have it? Are you looking for it? Will you know it? What is it to you?

@Rumplesmoothbottom good point (am glad to hear a man say this—assumin you’re a man)

@Mindful that’s a good point and to back track I think the reason they said that only a man can love a man was because of their complete and total belief in misogyny, in everything. And as a father of girls I am ashamed I even brought it up as an argument. But I do believe that love can exist without a desire to procreate.

@Mindful this is a good answer thank you.

Yeah yeah @Miram I totally agree with the perceptions you give. It’d be good to debunk all of those. Especially with the upcoming age of A.I. We are being promised.

The implications could be that if someone is capable of falling in love with what is essentially words on a screen within a certain amount of interactions then is it plausible love between A.I. And a human could exist?

Maybe I’m trying to hard.

No, I am just a simpleton bored of doing a simpletons job trying to entertain myself.

@Rumplesmoothbottom You're smart :) You are no simpleton. Yes, that is very related.

@Miram aww shucks, thanks. you too but I’m guessing you know that.

Do you think I’m right with my no pictures and one question a day rules? I Think there should be a no smut rule? And as an aside we could see how many people adhere to that rule?

I think it would also be interesting to look into an obligation angle. I think a lot of personal relationships in real life are effected by a perceived obligation to the other party? That could be an avenue to explore...

@Novaturient81

I like your reply.
Had I replied to this this would be my reply.

@Rumplesmoothbottom 😊

@SW-User I feel that way sometimes... (not for my lover and my daughter) I’m out of that sparky love I used to give so freely to everyone I met or knew. :-(

Would you like to carry out an experiment with me? I propose an experiment where two people message each other at least 3 times a day. At least.for like a month. And I say those people will fall in love. @SW-User.

We could hash out the details.

@gummybears noice!
