Love?? When the object of your love is gone, then you will know whether you were in love of not. Or as the old songs say, "You don't what you got until you lose it."

Ahhh Love...


Oh my god
Becky, look at her butt
It is so big
She looks like one of those rap guys girlfriends
Who understands those rap guys
They only talk to her because she looks like a total prostitute
I mean her butt
It's just so big
I can't believe it's so round
It's just out there
I mean, it's gross
Look, she's just so black
I like big butts and I can not lie
You other brothers can't deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a round thing in your face
You get sprung
Wanna pull up front
Cuz you notice that butt was stuffed
Deep in the jeans she's wearing
I'm hooked and I can't stop staring
Oh, baby I wanna get with ya
And take your picture
My homeboys tried to warn me
But with that butt you got
Make Me so horny
Ooh, all of that smooth skin
You say you wanna get in my benz
Well use me use me cuz you ain't that average groupy
I've seen them dancin'
The hell with romancin'
Sweat, sweat, got it goin like a turbo vette
I'm tired of magazines
Saying flat butts are the thing
Take the average black man and ask him that
She gotta pack much back
Fellas (yeah) Fellas (yeah)
Has your girlfriend got the butt (hell yeah)
Well shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, shake that healthy butt
Baby got back
(LA face with an Oakland booty)
I like 'em round and big
And when I'm throwin a gig
I just can't help myself
I'm actin like an animal
Now here's my scandal
I wanna get you home
And - huh, double up - huh huh
I aint talkin bout playboy
Cuz silicone parts were made for toys
I wannem real thick and juicy
So find that juicy double
Mixalot's in trouble
Beggin for a piece of that bubble
So I'm lookin' at rock videos
Watchin' these bimbos walkin like hoes
You can have them bimbos
I'll keep my women like Flo Jo
A word to the thick soul sistas
I wanna get with ya
I won't cus or hit ya
But I gotta be straight when I say I wanna - huh
Til the break of dawn
I got it goin on
Alot of pimps won't like this song
Cuz them punks lie to hit it and quit it
But I'd rather stay and play
Cuz I'm long and I'm strong
And I'm down to get the friction on
So ladies (yeah), Ladies (yeah)
If you wanna roll in my Mercedes (yeah)
Then turn around
Stick it out
Even white boys got to shout
Baby got back
(LA face with an Oakland booty)
Yeah baby
When it comes to females
Cosmo and got notin to do with my selection
36-24-33
Only if she's 5'3"
So your girlfriend throws a Honda
Playin workout tapes by Fonda
But Fonda ain't got a motor in the back of her Honda
My anaconda don't want none unless you've got buns hun
You can do side bends or sit-ups, but please don't lose that butt
Some brothers wanna play that hard role
And tell you that the butt ain't gold
So they toss it and leave it
And I pull up quick to retrieve it
So cosmo says you're fat
Well I ain't down with that
Cuz your waist is small and your curves are kickin
And I'm thinkin bout stickin
To the beanpole dames in the magazines
You aint it miss thing
Give me a sista I can't resist her
Red beans and rice didn't miss her
Some knucklehead tried to dis
Cuz his girls were on my list
He had game but he chose to hit 'em
And pulled up quick to get with 'em
So ladies if the butt is round
And you wanna triple X throw down
Dial 1-900-MIXALOT and kick them nasty thoughts
Baby got back

[FrayAdjacent911]

Love is the condition in which your happiness depends entirely on the happiness of another.

[Aerkuld]

I don't know if Sir Mixalot has it quite right, but thanks.

Superman is on the right track. I have been in a similar situation, although I didn't have to endure 23 years of the turbulent marriage. Looking back though I can see that the relationship I was in was very one sided - and it wasn't my side. During the past two years I have had a very good friend that has helped me cope with everything along the way and I have helped her with some of her problems too. We are now getting on as rather more than friends, but I can tell you that she is STILL my best friend. I can tell her anything, or we can say nothing to each other. She can watch the food network while I browse Pelican. I will fix her car and wash and wax it before doing mine, but she doesn't complain if I spend all evening in the garage either. We have a lot in common, but we are both different. Basically the whole situation is give and take, we appreciate each other for who the other person is and don't try to make them someone that you want them to be.

Does that make any sense at all?

When you can poop in front of her

Love isn't something you fall into...it is something that you choose to do and work at.

Too many people who "fall in" love, "fall out" of love too. I think what most people consider falling in love is really just infatuation, which never lasts. Hence why so many marriages fail today. People get married because of infatuation and then when that wears off, they just figure "Oh, guess I fell out of love...time to move on." Not saying that is true of all marriages of course.

My wife actually got frustrated with me while we were engaged because she would ask me exactly when I fell in love with her and I would never have an answer. I would say it was more of a process, a decision. That didn't jibe with her idea of love. We ended up at the same place, though. After 3 years of dating and almost 9 years of marriage we both have made a conscious decision to work on our relationship and our love every day. Love takes work, infatuation just sort of washes over you.

[Moneyguy1]

Love is not a 50-50 proposition. It is far more than that. Neither my wife or I are still at the age where the attraction is mostly physical. In many ways, we have become an integrated personality. That is not to say we cannot act independently, or that we could not function separately. We could, but we would prefer not to.

"I haven't fallen in love but I have stepped in it a few times."

[Superman]

Nathans_Dad spews a lot of political nonsense but in this instance he's spot on. I think. Although, I'm still hoping my life will be turned upside down and ruined irreparably by an irresistable infatuation.

Seriously, love is a decision. It is the product of hard work, frankly. One of the most unfortunate bits of social nonmenclature is the saying that people "get" married. They don't "get" anything. A wedding is a mutual commitment to work hard, and a promise to succeed at that hard work.

Aerkuld, I've stated that I would like to have my world toppled by that familiar longing that cannot be satisfied. That craving. That unqualified and undeniable need to possess. And while I'm waiting for that, here is this really nice, convenient, comfortable, satisfying, efficient, effective relationship that is fun and easy. I'm scared, frankly. And I don't know what I'm going to do. I know what I'm going to do on Saturday. But I'm not sure what I will want to do when difficulties arise. And they will. Do I have the desire and commitment to stay and make it work? I dunno.

I'm going to go slow. Because I'm a chicken. You should go slow too. But I suspect that your friendship has the depth required for the commitment and hard work that would/will become necessary. If so, then the rest is easy. Very easy. Go for it. As good as this relationship is now, just wait until a part of it has been built with your hard work and commitment.....and hers. It gets very special indeed. More special as time goes on.

And one more thing. Lots of guys will tell you flat out that if you know for sure, for a fact, that this woman cares for you and would commit to you........and if you know for sure you can trust her and that she would be faithful and reliable and honest to you.......then you've got a shot at something lots of guys never do.

Does that help. Hey, don't tell the other Pelicanheads that I spoke seriously on this issue. It'd ruin my macho image.

[Tobra]

You don't know, you feel you do.

Not a rational thing, so it does not lend itself to rational explanation.

When you get tired of driving around, you have to park your car. If the neighborhood is safe and the garage is clean, it may as well be love.

I think Cash cuts through all the BS on this topic. Yup....nailed it.

What is it that constitutes and merits the use of the word LOVE? Specifically, what is it about your better half that make you love her/him? Looks, behavior, personality...what?

Secondly, how can one describe the feeling of love?

This is a tough one, guys. Give it your best shot!

Not so tough...if you are still with her long after you quit thinking with your little head? It's love.

+1.

Now and then my wife and I get on each other's nerves, but it never lasts long. Overall, marriage keeps getting better and better.
