Autist here
How do normal people convince themselves that love really exists?
"Love" does not constitute 100% of attraction to someone, so therefore there's an inevitable point you get to where how much you would love someone is outweighed by the cons. There's a point of ugliness you'd get to where the love of your life woudn't be in love with you.
Furthermore, there are 3 billion potential partners on planet Earth and if you think you've found "the one" you're plainly wrong. You brain doesn't have the ability to appreciate how unlikely that is.
If you've found a person occupying the 1% of the human populace that makes the most sense for you in a relationship then there are still 30,000,000 potential partners that would be better for you.
How long would it take for you to find one of these people? Do you actively go out of your way to not meet new people for fear that you might like them more? Because there is objectively someone out there that you'd be more in love with than your current partner, how does it feel knowing you'll never know them?
So yeah. How are people in relationships able to delude themselves?

Love is a biochemical state in the brain that is similar to the effects of psychoactive drugs. The evolutionary benefit is incentive for staying with a mate and providing parental care as humans have one of the longest infancys out of all other animals.

I cringed so hard, you should be more considerate not to infect others with second hand embarrassment.

You don't have to tell everyone you made a face, Norman. Calm down.

Surprise retard: love doesn't exist how it is portrayed in Hollywood. Most people don't find "the one" and settle for whatever they can get. Main reasons being companionship and the benefits mentioned here >>29715044

Normal people don't even think about it.
You might as well ask how birds reassure themselves that they chose the right mate. There's no thought that goes into it; it's just instinct.

Devils proof,love exists
>>29715123
I don't understand why people still seek out love, when it's not like they thought it would be. Love in movies and other media seems like a good thing, but in reality it's tiresome and can be unpleasant. You'd think that as soon as people found that out, they'd stop loving and would go do other things. I know that's what I did.
Normies don't make any sense.

Meaning basic critical thinking skills
Also there is nothing "bro-science" about what I said, I literally said I was autistic
The word pretentious doesn't mean "using big words", it means being more interested in looking smart than actually being smart but I wouldn't expect you to be able to appreciate that. Just because you're an idiot doesn't mean you aren't a pseudo-intellect.

I dont know if its real or not, but it's certainly not the fairytale most of r9k deludes themselves with.

In OP's defense, he did say he was an autist before stating anything else.

>I don't understand why people still seek out love
Love is not some sort metaphysical magic that just ignites between people. Even posting on this thread, the way you feel at this moment, is not beyond human understanding. Our brains were tailored to respond predictably to certain stimuli. Just think of it as math; it happens because of a specific formula and feels pleasurable. Without it, we really wouldn't be human.

I know that, but humans also do cost-benefit analysis. Once they realize love isn't as good as it looked in the movies, why do they keep pursuing it? Love has a lot of expenses, so it has to be very good to be worth doing.

>being more interested in looking smart than actually being smart
Which is exactly how your post comes across to normal people.
>>29715519
I assure you I really don't care
I'm not explicitly going out of my way to sound like an idiot. If you do you really need to grow up.

Quit being such a bitch.

>>29714943
they convince themselves love exist the same way everyone is convinced being angry is real or feeling happy is real. normal people have felt love and so therefore believe in it.
only unlovable faggots get all edgy about "love isnt real"
>>29717174
That's probably the best argument I have read.
>inb4 genuine edgy faggot, open for other arguments/opinions/perspectives
