Is Love Dead?
Recently, I've noticed that less and less people are really "falling in love". But why is this? Love comes in many forms; lustful love, mutual love, hateful love, familial love, friendly love, etc. For the most part, all of these forms of love are still present. So why does the phrase, "love is dead" even exist?
Whether you write it off as angsty teenagers wondering why they can't get a date or for people who want justification for why they're still single at 30. The phrase is there, open to interpretation. What do you think Offtopic? Do you think love is dead, or do you think it's still alive and kicking...just in a different form?
Is romance and chivalry a thing of the past?

35 RepliesLove is an evolutionary property. When humans were nomadic, it was detrimental to travel alone, so Darwinism dictates that some humans would have mutations that would be better fit for their environment. The one we're talking about is some humans released a certain chemical when they were around others (love) and sort of persuaded humans to form packs. "Love" is was what held these packs together and created what we know as kin or family. I don't think love is completely "dead" per say, but mainly because our society is greatly seperated by religion, race, etc. Because we don't all identify under one group(which really wouldn't work out on account of the size of our species), we stick to our kin or loved ones for comfort using a much smaller unified classification, satisfying out primal instincts
