How do you feel about love? Are you a hopeless romantic who believes in a kind of soul-mate, one person to spend the rest of your life with, or are you one of those who feel (love) life is a series of relationships with different people? |

I think I was in love once, I still pine for her sometimes. |

I really don't know. I'll take either. |

I should've known this topic wouldn't be popular. You're probably all out shagging your girlfriends. |

the soulmate thing is a delusion. sustained love is a matter of compromise. this is all common sense. |

"the soulmate thing is a delusion." and you would know this how? |

The idea of a soulmate is somebody with whom you totally click, and will never irritate and vice-versa. It's an improbability if not an impossibility. It is true that one will click with person x more than with person y, but there'll be nobody on earth who satisfies the delusional idea of the "soulmate". The reason being, we're all human. To believe in the soulmate is to not believe in the age old adage that goes, "Nobody's perfect." |

haha, redrum doesn't know what a soulmate is |

ahaha!! What a thread full of luv!!! -----"Love is in the air"------ we all love and want to be loved!!! Basic human need. But there's always your unsuspected next door serial killer i guess : D |

Now guys, let there be no hate in this love thread. Redrum, I explicitly added "a kind of" soulmate, because we all know this idea only comes forth in movies. Real life cases of perfect love are not unheard of, though. Don't condemn the idea so easily. Chihiro: that song has been playing in my head all week :) |

care to enlighten me? |

i think you don't have to agree on everything, nobody'd want a soulmate like that because that would be a lame relationship i think it means you just feel the same way about certain deep stuff to an extent that it feels special and more than a ordinairy relationship but it's just something you have to believe in |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well it carries with it the idea of a prolonged, sustained, undying love. If one were to believe your point of view on the meaning of the soulmate, then sure, yeah, there are probably hundreds if not thousands of soul mates for each one of us. Kinda defeats the romantic purpose and idea of the soul mate, doesn't it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Good point. Isn't the whole idea of a soulmate, that they are your one and only and that there's only one mr/miss right, for each person. That person is your soulmate, not just somebody that has the same views as you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
does your concept of a soul mate entail two people who are pre-desitined to be with each other? i wish you guys wouldn't harp so much on the soul mate thing so much. i really should choose my words more carefully. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the idea i have of a soulmate isn't connected to a romantic relationship perse. it's just love+soulmate is better than just love i'm rational too in not believing there's only one perfect love for all of us, well and not even in one soulmate but that does go against the definition i think |

penny for your thoughts? |

|
|
It depends on your definition of a soulmate. Is it that one person in the world that you're drawn to by fate, or someone that you happen to have grown extremely close to over time? |
||||||||

big is just arguing for the sake of arguing. tolstoyed had a problem with what i said, but now the best he can come out with is "man haha" big: i think we agree then. just have slightly different impressions of what the words "soul mate" mean. |

i think we have different perception on what you meant by soul mate that's all. it appears that appart from redrum and svalx we have a more rational view on what a soul mate is :) big pretty much said it all already, i pretty much agree with all of that. to me a soul mate is when you find someone who's compatible, who understand you, someone you bond with in a deeper level. and vice versa. and it isn't just one human..could be 2 out of 10 or could be 8 out of 10. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd still argue that that's not the common perception of what a soul mate is. If what you're saying were the case, then please explain why the sentence "I have found my soul mate", indicating a singular existential entity, is used in literature, film, etc, instead of "I have found one of my soul mates" |

i got my soulmate,the prostitutes are just for fun. |

i never stated what my view of a soul mate is. i've never really given much thought to what the concept 'soulmate' entails, the connotations, and denotations thereof (philosophy 101 haha!). i kind of wish i had never mentioned it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Because out of all these potential soulmates you can only choose one. Sleeping around would sort of be missing the point. |
||||||||
|
|

|
That's not what is implied. What's implied is that there is only one, and that they cannot be let get away, for if they're lost, they're lost forever and such a love can never be found again. |
||||||||
|

a soulmate could be a table or an hood ornament too for instance |

i think that when you'd ask those people further they'd agree that they're romantic fools. maybe only half would believe they would have found each other if they were on other sides of the world |

you probably read/watch too much of that romatic crap :) |

i met a nice girl, anyway. we spent last night cuddling, while watching "stereolab" and "smashing pumpkins" music videos. this morning we got up early and watched bonus features on 'the royal tenenbaums' and 'life aquatic' dvds. she's really great. soulmate? fuck if i know. i just like being with her. |

we are young.. heartache to heartache. we stand.. no promises, no demands. love is a battlefield. |

From that page: Classical - Greek mythology - Originally humans were combined of 4 arms, 4 legs, and a single head made of 2 faces, but Zeus feared their power and split them all in half, condemning them to spending their lives searching for the other half to complete them. This theory was presented as a half-serious story by Aristophanes in Plato's Symposium, after all the participants at the Symposium ("drinking party") were charged to philosophize on the topic of love. So yeah, I go by the classical definition.. And I'd never have classed the classics as "crap". Also, the type of love we're talking about here is romantic love, so I don't know what you're on about. When I mentioned literature and film, i wasn't exactly going for pulp fiction and hollywood blockbusters/romantic comedies. We'll agree to disagree on the semantics of the term "soul mate" shall we? One thing I won't agree to, however, is using the terms "twin flame" or "twin soul", as suggested by that wikipedia page, since it seems a bit too new age for my liking.. |
