In the romantic sense, love is when the woman you encounter feels like she can make you eternally content and happy just with her presence.
It’s putting all of the hope your sensitive young heart has to offer into a truly hopeless creature, the female. You convince yourself that they can love you as much as you love them, until you realize their “love” is entirely superficial.
To attain love is to win the genetic lottery, and if you fail to find love then consider yourself doomed. What being in love feels like is hard to describe if your innocence died before you had the chance to fall in love.
It’s a feeling of euphoria that not a single drug can recreate, a blissful excitement which is pure and beautiful, with lust often not even being involved. This is the tragedy of an undesirable man falling in love, he’s wasting such pure and joyful feelings on a disgusting, demonic entity. The female soul (or lack thereof) seeks to suck the life out of the male until he has nothing left, punishing him for his genetic shortcomings.
