What does love feel like?

This accurately describes crack addiction.

lolsail · 2012-09-10T08:56:03+00:00

This analogy also extends to browsing reddit on /r/all.

calicojones · 2012-09-10T08:43:39+00:00

..this is exactly why i make my own damn cookies.

99 problems, all bird shit.

In my experience it's more like receiving the best cookie you've ever eaten 90% of all button pushes, getting shit on 10%. The amount of times you get shit on relative to cookies you receive is so small, you don't even notice it. Then as the button pressing continues, the percent at which you receive shit instead of cookies very very slowing rises, again you hardly notice the shit exists at all. Eventually you are getting shit on 80% of every button push, and you realize something is amiss, but the cookies are still damn good. The percent of cookies per push is ever decreasing until eventually you're drowning in so much shit you can't taste the cookies anymore.

Falling in love is like getting high on ecstasy except that its free, it lasts a lot longer and the come down is equally as extreme.

Falling in love does not equal love though. Love is like finding the best thing in the world, something so good you'd kill anyone trying to take it away.

Well, in order to answer that, we must ask ourselves: What is love?

FunMonkeyDisease · 2012-09-10T10:59:00+00:00

I know what an erection feels like Michael!

snipsnip · 2012-09-10T11:13:33+00:00

This is what it's like when it's one sided love and the other person just gives you some to maybe get you off their back, but then you just get more attached and it's a vicious spiral until they're all out of cookies.

TearyHumor · 2012-09-10T11:00:54+00:00

Sometimes you get halfway through eating a great tasting cookie and then realize it is bird shit.

If love is cookies, why are so many foreveralone people fat?

CHECKMATE, ATHEISTS.

squishy2010 · 2012-09-10T12:50:49+00:00

Let's clarify here:

If you're unattractive, love is like getting shit on 90% of the time.

If you ARE attractive, however, love is like hundreds of cookies throwing themselves at you all the time. You eventually get to the point that you are tired of the hollow, bland, lifeless cookies that have no nutritional value. You try to find a cookie that enriches and sustains you... but alas those cookies berate you and try to persuade you to have bilateral orchiectomy. In a fit of rage you decide to just be happy with the next fluffy, tender cookie that comes along. Then that cookie runs off with the poolboy 5 years later and you're stuck paying for it's Macy's credit cards. Wait.. I think I diverged from the metaphor.

farmthis · 2012-09-10T10:51:34+00:00

Well.

Fuck.

I just counted, and I haven't gotten a cookie in over 100 bird shits.

frankts1 · 2012-09-10T12:16:23+00:00

Actually, love is being in the gutter - totally at the end of your rope and without anything or anyone you thought was important before that moment - and remembering the feeling (if you're lucky enough to have had it) of the warmth of that person in your life who never cared how dirty you were, how low you had sunk, or what you think of yourself. Instead, they always treated you with care and respect. And knowing that you can get up, and go to that person, and they will treat you the same way they always have, do anything to help you - and want nothing in return from you.

That's actually what love is, and it's kinda rare.

ddshroom · 2012-09-10T12:06:43+00:00

Nope. Married 40 years. We moved in on the first date. It gets stronger. We had kids. More love. Love is everywhere. This view describes frustration not love. Frustration is eaten by love.

Sir_Smashing · 2012-09-10T10:00:35+00:00

This is exactly right...apart from the bit about cookies.

HomeButton · 2012-09-10T03:28:53-07:00

Because I need the eggs

The pessimism and bitterness are running rampant in this thread, aren't they?

ridrummer14 · 2012-09-10T12:13:11+00:00

well brick..it's kinda like.... Gunna find my baby gunna hold her tight,

I once had a dream where I was asked this question. In the dream I took a long time to think of my answer and I said:

"It feels like being stabbed in the chest, but the euphoria you feel from all the blood loss causes you to enjoy it."

Dirty_Liberal_Hippie · 2012-09-10T03:50:31-07:00

Then the cookies stop coming....

So I am back to one hundred problems and a cookie/bitch IS one :(

TAYLQR · 2012-09-10T05:46:57-07:00

And the bird is a condor...

with first love you begin to believe that all those boring love songs make sense. it's kind of feels like being in a constant state of blissful stupidity; "we're gonna be together fer-eeeeever!" no, you're not. always use protection. you do not want to have a child with this person.

as you get older you begin to believe that all those boring love songs make sense. it's kind of feels like being in a constant state of blissful stupidity; "we're gonna be together fer-eeeeever!" you probably won't. always use protection. it's a good idea not to have a child with this person.

ReddityDoopity · 2012-09-10T11:35:38+00:00

That was a surprisingly accurate reply. People always think of love as a beautiful and amazing thing, hell we're straight up told by others how amazing it is. The truth, at least in my experience, is not one that anyone wants to hear. Love is severely overrated, it causes much more pain than happiness, and we can't live without it.

I'm not some little emo kid, I'm actually quite an outgoing and optimistic person, and yes I've been in love. On every occasion I have, the sweet amazing times people talk about don't last nearly long enough, and my significant other always ends up trying to play games, becoming unpleasable (not in bed okay I sucked from the start), or running back to their ex. Maybe it is just me, but I found this post to be dreadfully true, and love to be balls.

Brian Fantana: I think I was in love once. Ron Burgundy: Really? What was her name? Brian Fantana: I don't remember. Ron Burgundy: That's not a good start, but keep going... Brian Fantana: She was Brazilian, or Chinese, or something weird. I met her in the bathroom of a K-Mart and we made out for hours. Then we parted ways, never to see each other again. Ron Burgundy: I'm pretty sure that's not love. Brian Fantana: Damn it.

Not sure why this was voted to the front page, it's possibly the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

I wish I had some cookies now =(

486dx2 · 2012-09-10T04:56:29-07:00

And then you realize you just ate a shitty cookie.

Richie311 · 2012-09-10T04:57:53-07:00

The cookie is a metaphor for a penis.

n1ghtk1n9 · 2012-09-10T05:01:54-07:00

I started off confused, then when I saw about the cookie, I started to smile, until the cookie stopped coming.... Frown :(

Tearill · 2012-09-10T05:02:52-07:00

wouldn't it be then one day you stop getting shit on? as in finding the one?

andd81 · 2012-09-10T05:08:09-07:00

Except that you know that there will be no cookies but keep pressing that button.

Murederum · 2012-09-10T05:10:54-07:00

I know that feel bro :(

you're doing it wrong.

but I like the cookie

realdoe · 2012-09-10T05:27:35-07:00

Should be phrased "What does romantic love feel like?"...it is very different to what true love is like. True love sets you free!

DodgeDakotaSport · 2012-09-10T05:29:16-07:00

What a great way to start the morning...

cawpin · 2012-09-10T05:35:49-07:00

This is a little funny, yes.

But it also points out the mistake most people make. You aren't IN love with somebody. You LOVE somebody. It is an action, not a condition.
