You don't have to. I was just pointing out - that's all. I think we are either conciously or subconsciously are drawn towards beautiful things. There is nothing wrong with that.Quote:

I think the answer can be interpretted as both, based on ones definition of love. There are three different types of love different loves defined in Greek, but really only one in English. In Greek there is extreme love in which you would be willing to die for the person you love, its an extreme respect and kindredship, much like, in my opinion, what true love should be, a willingness to sacrafice oneself for the other. There is also brotherly type love, more of a friendship or respect, not where you are ready to die for the other, but you respect them as a chum. The third type ofcourse is sexual love...need I say more :brow:
I think for this one the word can meen a great deal of things based on how it is used and how much weight the user places on the word.
Like Obi-wan said "Everything is true, from a certain point of view" ;)
Ehmmm..this happens to you before or after drinking scotch whisky? You know when you are not sober (which is often the case in a bar) you tend to find all women beautiful..so you must be careful :lol: :lol:Quote:

Ah yes, the issue of beer goggles is always a conundrum. Is she really beautiful or have I had too much to drink and she is a lot more Bo Diddly than Bo Derrick (to paraphrase a NOFX song). I get around this by applying a simple formula:Quote:

I choose number three which says "Beauty Inspires both Love and Lust". Because of so many reasons that am, probably, gonna say when I came back.

Hey that's a great equation, but can you compute it after 4 or 5 drinks? :lol:Quote:

Only 2 people voted "Beauty Inspires Love in us" - and I am one of them so I am not abnormal :-)
Only 1 person voted Neither because Beauty does not interest me - I find that hard to believe.
And 5 people voted Beauty Inspires Lust in us - this perhaps a uncomforting result.
And 6 people voted Beauty Inspires both Love and Lust - this is perhaps average response...
You forgot the "neither I'm blind" option. That garnered two votes. :)Quote:
