I am going to pre apologize for how long this is.
a. Love is the same for men and women. I disagree. I feel that for both sexes there is an emotional and physical part of being in love. Although, do to stereotypes we may lose some of what is most important to us. For example in love movies most guys are seen as jerks that just want to have sex, until the one comes along that is caring and listens etc.. Media like these movies I feel make both men an woman see love in a different way. I feel due to media and stereotyping some men may just see love just for its physical components. An example would be a man being afraid to get too emotionally attached or romantic afraid of what others guys might say (questioning his masculinity). …show more content…
There is such a thing as “love at first sight.” I agree. In chapter 4 the topic of FOE (Field of Eligibles) was brought up, meaning the things that you feel are most important when finding someone to be your partner. I believe that if you find someone that meets all of your standards to your FOE when first meet that person it could be seen as “love at first sight”. An example would be one of my FOES would be a girl with short blonde hair, small body type, loves children, and very caring. A situation where I could know it was love at first sight is I am at a park and I see a woman with all the right physical characteristics and is helping a child who is hurt. I can see from this example they fit all of my FOEs. c. You can be deeply/romantically in love with more than one person. I agree. Although I do not believe that you can be deeply or romantically “in love” with more than one person at one time. Growing up I was told if you fall in love with two people always go with the second one, because if you really loved the first you wouldn’t have fallen in love with the second. That saying has always made sense to me and one of the three points on the Triangular Theory of Love is commitment. I see commitment as being loyal and faithful, falling in love with a second person would not be loyal or
