Just heard on the radio that scientists disproved love at first site, and claim that the emotion "love" is something that takes on average 12 months or more to form (less in some people, but no where near instant). They also 'claim' that love for a partner is only obtainable through physical and mental connections via intimacy and other commitment.

Now I know some people are probably thinking that Catholics can't then actually fall in love until after marriage, which is interesting.

Another interesting thing I read recently was that the emotion "lust" actually has an expirary date- 2 years.

What are you guys views on the subject (mainly the older people who know of the subject).

Yeah, in the olden days, people did nto move so much and many times a boy and girl would know eachother thier whole lives and would know who the person was inside as well as just what they look like. So by the time they are ready to start relationships, they know who they like and who they don't. So I think looks were not as important at one time as they are now. Now that everyone moves so often, the first impressions during dating age comes from looks instead of how you knew them to be before.

This is the way things work at the russian community at the church I go to. They all grew up together so they KNOW already who they like and they get married rEALLY early..

Lust is related to penises, actually. It's a common "phallusy" that it's related to love at all.

MWAHAHA
