There Is No Such Thing As Love

Let me give it to you straight, straight like an arrow.

I’ve had these words stuck in my head for some time now. Lyrics from the tit­u­lar Dears track I first heard in uni­ver­si­ty, back when I would go home in the sum­mer and watch The Wedge on Friday nights.

I know that’s awful­ly cyn­i­cal to say, but I need proof that it is pos­si­ble today.

I just wish I could accept that fact. I’m start­ing to won­der if that’s why I keep hear­ing the words in my head. It’s my sub­con­scious remind­ing me, keep­ing me ground­ed.

Maybe that’s why we watch these movies. Hollywood would have us believe that love exists.

It’s the same sto­ry, where guy sees girl, falls in love, and hap­pi­ly ever after. In between, there’s always the overused plot ele­ment of the guy win­ning over the girl by reveal­ing him­self and his feel­ings. After all, this alone is enough to win any girl over, regard­less of whether she found him attrac­tive or not, she was mar­ried or sin­gle, or he was the nerd and she was the cheer­leader.

But love does­n’t exist in real life, as much as I want to believe that it does.

Not for me, any­way.

  1. But not only belive in it also apply towards on each and oth­ers by every sin­gle on of us as humans

  2. there is no such thing as love, in da begin­ning u might think it is but at the end u’ll look back n realise it nev­er was.

    if love did exist then there wud­nt be any cheat­ing to begin with, no divorce, no mak­ing each oth­er unhap­py with jeal­ousy.

    boyfriend n girl­friend walkin around then i see boyfriend lookin at oth­er girls while wit girl­friend, wtf is dat about. even hus­band n wife do it.

    in work, guy wit wife at home but flirts with females while in work wtf is that about too.

    so much for love

    i want to believe that there is love but irl there is none

  3. Yes that is true love does­nt exist if it is there what look like

  4. Fuck this fake decep­tive thing called love

  5. Love does exist, in your heart. Let it out a lit­tle more often and watch it become like rip­ples in a pond. Eventually those rip­ples will come back to you.

  6. Love is nonex­is­tant bull­shit. Fuck love, get mon­ey.

  7. i would like to believe the indoc­tri­nat­ed fal­la­cy of love we where brain­washed to believe is true maybe there is some­one out there for us that would com­plete the puzzle,then i think to myself when i sit i my mil­lion dol­lar man­sion rid­ing my fast cars and going where i want to that i made it alone , and thru all the bull­shit of lies and hid­den agen­das i made it here, fuck love you dont need it . the prob­lem with love is peo­ple . or maybe i am just to cold and ran out of fucks to give.

  8. The only true love that exists is the divine love.
    Our love, is dis­tort­ed by all kinds of ugly things, like cheat­ing etc..At the end we set­tle for any kind of love that we have because that what we re made to do n to receive, proof to that the frus­trat­ed n cyn­i­cal com­ments above bcs of the lack of love n the decep­tion that its caused..
    My word to you guys is dont lose hope:)

  9. First come skep­ti­cism about whether love exist. All my 24 years of life I save my hope. Then with­out look­ing for it, I tru­ly love a man. I dreamed that true love could give peo­ple the courage to stand up for it and that for once i allow myself to believe in love whole­heart­ed­ly. Boy was I wrong, now I just end up even more skep­ti­cal and scarred for life. Oh and who­ev­er say that it’s Better to have love and lost than nev­er to have love at all??? I fuck­ing hate this quote! I rather go to life being indif­fer­ent than to have that expe­ri­ence of so called love.

  10. If love was­n’t real, there would­n’t be angry, dis­ap­point­ed or any sort of com­ment about it as nonex­is­tent. It’s just that it rarely occurs between 2 peo­ple due to cir­cum­stances, tim­ing etc… If love did­n’t exist we would­n’t feel so hurt it did­n’t hap­pen for some of us right. If it does­n’t it not so bad since the major­i­ty of us don’t have it. I just learn not to hope and not to wish for it any­more. Yes in giv­ing up because it s tir­ing and it s prob­a­bly more pro­duc­tive to go do some­thing else then dwell on it. It might not ever gonna hap­pen for me or you but well we still have to live and eat and wake up every morn­ing. So maybe it s bet­ter just to not hope not wish not look not think about it.

  11. I wish we could all love and be love. If we opened up to love we risk get­ting hurt. For those who don’t let some­one into their heart, they risk hurt­ing them. So are we either hurt­ing oth­ers or get­ting hurt? Omg it’s so com­pli­cat­ed just don’t love, just don’t use peo­ple to hurt them, try to live on ur own. Live each day being hap­py at the sil­ly lit­tle things and be in dis­cre­tion of that one that comes along that u have feel­ings for. It s prob­a­bly ain’t gonna hap­pen. Be afraid! Be very afraid!!!

  12. Love is a beyond my grasp, I loved deeply and end up bro­ken inside. I feel noth­ing now for any­one else. I dont feel the need to wish for love. People called me numb, maybe it’s true. I can care­less about the oppo­site sex. I don’t hate them. I just feel like a zom­bie. Wat the hell is love that leave human­i­ty in search for? In despair for? In sor­row for? If it so gosh darn beau­ti­ful y do I feel noth­ing but regret I ever love and no regret in get­ting a brain­wash after the expe­ri­ence.

  13. Disney f’d girls up hard core. Every female is a princess.…yea yea. Im 30 now, and I heard a sin­gle sen­tence that holds true. “any girl can have a prince, but her dad­dy will ALWAYS be her king.” And true love of a man and woman, par­don mu lan­guage, is horse shit. Ive been with many, mar­ried and divorced. The only true love that has last­ed me, was the true love of my 8 yr old son. He has been with me throught the hard times and the good. Cant say much for any­one else.
