What is love? Can it exist without beauty?

I feel that we judge people by beauty, even if we don't want to, we do.


It usually works subconsciously, we just make small judgments about people. And when that truth is applied to yourself, it feels at once unjust and shallow.


Attraction just works that way. I think a person's beauty is enhanced by what we think of their personalities, but they have to be decent enough to catch our eye and satiate our need for beauty.


What is love? Can it exist without beauty?
Love is Beauty.


Whether it is inner beauty, or physical beauty.


One must appreciate the difference to understand true love.What is love? Can it exist without beauty?
I have experienced different kinds of love, for different people and things less tangible. I can love any person, as a result of my appreciation of their values, their actions. This kind of love is hard to obtain though, and equally hard to break, it can be applied to any person, and has nothing to do with how they look, their sex, or my sexuality. I can ';fall in love'; with a person, and this is different, this involves chemicals and sexual desire. It can come on faster and stronger, but it can also drop away just as mysteriously.





There is only one person I've both ';loved'; and ';been in love'; with. I could feel both loves. Really amazing. When I fell ';out of love'; with her, I could feel it, but I still loved her.





Consider that beauty isn't universal. There is visual beauty and audio beauty, and people can't agree on what exactly is beautiful. I think there is a significant amount of genetics involved in a person's idea of another's physical beauty, and that in turn can lead to sexual attraction, but I've found that love cares not. And I've found that being ';In love'; makes the person you love appear to be the most beautiful person in the world.





But that's just me. Which tells me enough to know, love can certainly exist without beauty, but I guess not for everyone.
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder:

One might ask what love actually is. Is it possible love is just a chemical reaction in our brains that is derived from the unconscious need to mate?


If so, maybe beauty, how we see it, is just the trigger to the chemicals.
Our sense of beauty becomes manifested, mirrored in the world and we fall for it like Narcissus until that sense is purified to be true love within ourselves.
Blind people have to sense the beauty of a person or item. Still they can


experience love.
