October 31, 200619 yr A few people have the view that love is "just a chemical reaction" and we can see its effects on the brain - chemicals and stuff makes you loopy. Also there's the issue of the setting and circumstance to "fake" it. For example if you go on a roller coaster ride your heart races and you can mistake it as love. Anyway since that's the case will drugging ourselves with love potions when we see someone be a formula for "happily ever after"? Might keep people together longer too. Good idea? Bad idea? because it's the cool thing to do. Spreading beauty with my katana.
October 31, 200619 yr Seriously though, it would probably be more a matter of people drugging other people to be in love with them. In the other case drugging oneself to feel for someone seems foolish to me. What would be the upside? How would the drug even be selective of whom one would be in love with anyway? I've never heard of your roller coaster example. From what I've known of love I'd consider it a prolonged sentiment; something that lasts more than fifteen minutes.

October 31, 200619 yr Author The idea's tricking the brain. There's been experiments (spiking drinks with adrenalin etc) that show the brain interprets/explains away things happening to it in wacky ways relevant to the situation. Spreading beauty with my katana.
October 31, 200619 yr People have trouble functioning in society when they're not in love? I didn't realise not being in love was a crippling disfunction of the brain. Edited October 31, 200619 yr by Nartwak
October 31, 200619 yr No thanks on this...I can barely grasp the concept of love already and this'll just muddy the waters even more. I had thought that some of nature's journeymen had made men and not made them well, for they imitated humanity so abominably. - Book of Counted Sorrows 'Cause I won't know the man that kills me and I don't know these men I kill but we all wind up on the same side 'cause ain't none of us doin' god's will. - Everlast
October 31, 200619 yr Author I bet it'd be great fun. Especially when people take it like a drug at nightclubs and dance floors to get high and stuff. Spreading beauty with my katana.
October 31, 200619 yr gay potion? I know a few I'd use it on. DENMARK! It appears that I have not yet found a sig to replace the one about me not being banned... interesting.
October 31, 200619 yr Call me romantic but I think that love is not only chemicals How can it be a no ob build. It has PROVEN effective. I dare you to show your builds and I will tear you apart in an arugment about how these builds will won them. - OverPowered Godzilla (OPG)
October 31, 200619 yr I've been on lots of roller coasters and not once did I mistake the rush for love. Like that other recent thread, this kind of thing might be useful as an anti-depressant of some kind, but a 'love potion'...depends on what it does, really. If it fakes people into falling in love and then they have keep taking the potion to stay in love, that's silly - I see no point to that. The intense quick fallin-in-love rush part may be initially largely chemical, but that isn't what keeps people together for 50 years. In my opinion anyway. Still gaming with my 9900k/2080ti/32 ram. One day I suppose a game may inspire me to finally upgrade. Maybe.
October 31, 200619 yr Just put it in all major public water supplies all the world. Watch the love spread “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein

October 31, 200619 yr The intense quick fallin-in-love rush part may be initially largely chemical, but that isn't what keeps people together for 50 years. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Also, a lot of the chemistry of couples is built upon their pheremones, which are directly related to their immune system (hence not malleable with a potion or topical cream or whatever: needs germ therapy).

October 31, 200619 yr it's called ecstasy ... been around for along time. http://ecstasy.org/qanda/index.html note won't keep you in love but can trick the mind to make you think so Edited October 31, 200619 yr by Dragon Lord Jones
October 31, 200619 yr The only real question is when this will be available for me to spike drinks at clubs with. RIP
October 31, 200619 yr The only real question is, what kind of a loser are you if you have to rely on this?
