Finding out true love is blind.

vintage teenagers

There was a big song that came out a few years ago called “Finding Out True Love Is Blind.” Remember that? It was a guy doing his best Mick Jagger voice singing about different kinds of girls that he was going to do things to. The summer that came out, I had a goal, comrades. And that goal was to make out with the lead singer of that band. “I can do this,” I thought. “He isn’t even super attractive.”

But I never did. That would have required for me to actually do things, like go to their shows. That’s effort, man.

I don’t want to make out with this guy anymore, but if I don’t, that means I’ve failed. So someone needs to help me find this guy and we can make out and then I’ll know I’ve succeeded in life.

If I find a man attractive, I will go up to him and just tell him. If someone says something mean about me on the Internet, I’ll thank them for just talking about me.

What do they mean by “love is blind”? Is that a nice way of saying, “It’s okay to fall in love with an ugly person”? I am always paranoid that the person I fall for is attractive only to me. But why the hell should I care what my friends think? And I also worry that the friends of the someone I like think that I’m a Picasso Guernica era drawing. It shouldn’t matter. And it doesn’t. And all of my friends think I have good taste in men anyway. Except for that one time I liked a guy who had classic, to quote a friend, “Douche face.”

Are love and appearance tied together?

    No, it isn’t. I don’t think it is, anyway.

    I’m not the best looking guy on the planet, but I’ve managed to date some ridiculously attractive women. However, the girlfriends that lasted for me weren’t the “gorgeous” ones, probably because I was more interested on their values, interests and ambitions than their looks.

    When I was in Japan, I dated a girl who my friends nicknamed “Doraemon” (a big blue robot cat–google it) because she had a big face and big cheeks. She was incredibly sweet and caring. It was her big warm heart that kept me around, regardless what my friends said about her cartoonish looks. They found out what a wonderful girl she was, but to them she would always be “Doraemon.”

    I think it totally doesn’t matter! It’s important what do you feel in your heart. And in other way “love is blind” means that if you’re in love you don’t look not only on appearance, but also not on some bad things… if that person is agressive or makes you feel depressed. Love MAKES people blind.
    And I’m sorry if my grammar is so incorrect today, but I’ve got terrible hangover right now.
    Cheers 🙂

    I think “love is blind” means that you’re willing to overlook a lot of things (ie flaws) or pretend not to notice bad shit (ie someone cheating on you). I mean, that’s the cynical take, but… basically: you only see the best in your partner and/or you only see what you want to see.

    Or, yeah, maybe, it makes you think your partner is more attractive than they are? Kind of like beer goggles. LOVE GOGGLES.

    I don’t know. I’m merely hypothesizing.

    But I’m totally trademarking “Love Goggles.” Let’s go get rich of that idea, k?
