What the Fuck is Love?

A little detail about me is that I'm aromantic; more specifically anti-romantic. I'm mentally incapable of falling for anyone. I have no idea why I was just born like this. 

Romance fucking sucks. I stand by what I said and I'll say it again. I probably shouldn't be saying that on a website that has thousands of romance novels but who cares. I've always wondered what romance is useful for. Most people would say it helps people feel fulfilled or something but there's a lot of things better than love; here's a list I made . . .

-Caramel, self explanatory 

-Sweets in general, the only good thing about Valentines Day is the chocolate

-Cats, why cuddle with a person when you can cuddle with a cat? Don't take that out of context please. I'm just saying the feeling of sitting on a couch, reading a good book, with a cat on your lap is way better than romance.

-Video games, I'd rather be slaying witches than laying bitches.

-Enjoying being lonely, who needs people? Not me. I'll die alone in a cabin with 20 cats.

I feel like I could go on forever about this but let's get into the actual question. 

What the fuck is love? 

In this case I'm talking about feeling deep affection for someone; not like love as in how I love science (fucking nerd). I have my own hypothesis over what love is that I have drawn from the world around me. Keep in mind that this was difficult because you guys suck at explaining what it is. My hypothesis is a fairly common one. I believe that love is not one feeling but a mixture of all the feelings in one. From the inconsistent answers I've gotten on what love is I can tell that it is different for everyone and different every time. This would make sense for me because while everyone feels a mix of emotions I feel none. So it's not a matter of not feeling love it's just that my mind doesn't know how to combine emotions so I can feel that way. 

What the Fuck is Marriage?

Although I may be this way because of trauma from my parents getting divorced, 50% of marriages end in divorce and everyone else I know with divorced parents still end up having crushes. That brings me to another topic, what the fuck are marriages? What are the benefits?      I mean besides marital tax deduction, filing taxes jointly, social security benefits, and health care benefits. You have to pay to get married and pay to get divorced. 

After scrounging through my limitless intellect (doing a google search) I found out the supposed emotional benefits of marriage. Watch as I debunk all of them.

-Longer life, who the fuck wants that?

-Less chance of developing depression. This might actually be helpful but for most of the 50% of people who get divorced marriage was actually the cause of their depression. 

-Increase serotonin levels. A random website said that "Coming home from a long day of work and having that partner there for physical affection increases positive mood, sex drive and, ultimately, intimacy." As you might have guessed, I enjoyed nothing about that sentence. Another thing this sentence is incorrectly implying is that all marriages are good ones, and if the divorce rates have taught us anything, that's absolute bullshit. 

Love Songs

At this point I'm extremely convinced that romance and love is just an inside joke everyone's in on but me. There's lines like "When you put your arms around me, you let me know there's nothing in this world I can't do", actually there's a lot. If someone put's there arms around me I'm physically constrained in a single area. Here's a little thing you might want to consider, if you put your arms around me I will slug you in the face. I feel like no one actually feels the way love songs describe. You're all a bunch of gaslighting liars and it's not cool

In Conclusion

You're all either lying or weird that's all I have to say.
