In your opinion, is romantic/courtly love an artifice of Western culture or innate in human nature?

MV, are you really suggesting that only Western culture has notions of courtly and romantic love?

M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 19 January 2007 19:15 (eighteen years ago)

No.

M. V. (M.V.), Friday, 19 January 2007 19:16 (eighteen years ago)

All cultures have fuckwant.

It's a genuine set of emotions tied closely to sex, enhanced and distorted by convention. Regardless of how wonderful it is, it's largely dependant on the beholder's imagination, it is a weaker, more fickle form of love, and therefore takes a back seat to the types of love that involve cleaning up someone's vomit and not hurting someone when they really really deserve it.

FB -- I don't think the original poster was actually distinguishing between "luv" and "love."

jaymc, I thought we were talking about romantic/coutly love, like in the question. At the top of the page. Where dude asks:

In your opinion, is romantic/courtly love an artifice of Western culture or innate in human nature?
-- M. V. (m...), January 19th, 2007 6:06 AM. (M.V.) (link)

But, haha luv/love. Got me there.
