Do you believe in a thing called love?
Yes, but it's something people usually have to have experience and think over before fully recognizing what it is. I feel lucky for being naturally wise---yet, that makes me feel so OLD!!
So in some ways, I'm not willing to go through normal sh** that other people have to go through at a young age before settling. In some ways, I'm just willing to settle (or at least have long, fruitful relationships).
Do you believe love holds power? (Heart is totes the coolest power ever )
Man, YES!! There are many types of love but they all make life worth living. There's nothing as powerful, magical, and meaningful as love. You see, I search for meaning in everything I do, so love is naturally one factor.
How much? seriously. What can it do and what can it not?
A LOT of power. I think love carries immense beauty---and it takes time for people to find what that true beauty is, not overwound or unbalanced by more superficial things. The core is masked in diversions. It does not exist on its own sake however. Love fades and grows depending on the two people in love. You create meaning in love, you make love love.
Are you willing to go out of your way to search for love?
Yes. I'm willing to risk myself. I've come to understand that the type of love I seek is the kind that requires taking large risks...that means total intimacy, total trust, total love, total loyalty. I know this might sound unrealistic to some people. But to me, that's what I really want and I'm convinced I'm going to find it and get it.
Women, do you think you could love somthing that could put you in danger? (not necessarily physical)
My first instinct would be no. However, if the outcome of that love has the potential to be something immense, I would do so. In order to grow fully (especially in love) you need to take those risks for the payback has a possibility of being greater. If not, you'd be stunting your own growth. :/
Could you keep a trophy wife/husband?
Nope, I don't think so. I like people that are chipped n quirky.
What could you nott stand for, even in the name of love?
All the nasty things that seem to exist in bounty in many relationships and supposedly labeled under "love": selfishness, lust-and-only-lust, weakness (as in remaining weak without even trying to become better), not being seen for who I really am as a person, cheating.
And do you REALLY think romantic love is blind?
Hmmm...not really, at least for me. I can see how that would account for many, and most relationships. But may be I don't agree too much because even with relationships I tend to compromise with both my head and heart. If my heart flutters slightly, my mind might give "considerations." But if my head says "no", it's a definite "no." I only let myself like those who I know I can love (it's like killing weeds! lol
). I tend to focus a lot on personality too---so I might technically be blind when in love, but I can't tell b/c i've rationalized things beforehand as a safety check.
To appearence?
In the beginning, I'm assuming most people are NOT blind to appearance. It's the attraction factor to most. But after a certain point, I guess we fall so much in love that we don't scrutinize the other person's flaws as much. If a person's great in personality, I'm usually kind of blind to appearance as a whole from the beginning.
To status? To wealth?
I think I would be--however there's a limit. If I feel like a person is not at least somewhat financially stable (decently) I might hesitate. When I consider being with someone, I unconsciously mean I can see myself with them in my future---that's why I'm investing myself in them. It's all circumstancial though. More than anything, it's about the person.
And for shits and giggles, what one specific quality in a potential romantic interest are you a sucker for?
Sweetness. God, makes me melt. Can't explain it...but the people who are just really "good" yet smart enough to protect their goodness. A very intriguing/smart mind is also ohh so irresistible!
