Do you need to experience love to live a proper life

Why can't we just be like gorilla's who **** not love.
You can't have everything in your life. By having something you are losing something else.
I see a large number of people who feel it's the 'done thing' to be in a relationship and are fundamentally unhappy. Sure they have some good times, but broadly speaking they lose a great deal of their free time, and are tied down. There are of course people who seem to thrive in a relationship... but I know it's not for me. For a long time I assumed it was what was the right thing to do, and I was in a relationship until I had a revelation and I've been happily single since. Certainly I'd never live with someone again, I do have the odd fling.

Indeed. My point was more of a devil's advocate one.
I think our minds and bodies need a certain amount of love in ones life - I think it's programmed into us!

Agreed, and should we not love ourselves a little too?

There's always time for a bit of self lovin'
Indeed - I'm sure subconsciously you remember your parental affection/love too, even if you have no clear memories of it.
Death is a tiny part of your life though. It could be fun... you could jump off a bridge or something.
I think you do, but I think that love could be of anything not just a partner.
However... the way society works... you'd probably feel guilty for being different when you get to 30 and 40 and 50 having never had a partner. So for that reason, maybe.

I want to live life for myself, so I guess I'll never know 'love' because every woman that finds out I don't want kids or marriage quickly disappears from my sight.
The dream of every British woman is to have a baby then sit at home watching TV, stuffing her face with chocolate while the man goes out to work. Sorry, but something is seriously wrong with that, especially today with all our 'equality' and 'positive discrimination' and I'm not the only one who thinks so.

There will come a time in your life where dying will be a lot more enjoyable than being stuck in a chair all day, soiling yourself, watching Jeremy Kyle's grandson give people life lessons.

I think she's right.
You're 22, what do you know
Was in a relationship for 3 years. I have experienced love but like others have said I don't believe it's a necessity to have a fully functional life.
You forgot the part while the man goes out to work and the wife ***** the milkman/postman/delivery man/builder/plumber/door to door salesman...

Would say romantic love is of the least importance.
To be loved by our parents is the most important thing.
Of course but even then people fall out with both parents and still live happy and successful lives...

I would say you do need love to live a happy life.
Living alone when I'm older without that component is somewhat a scary thought, luckily I'm good at brainwashing it seems.
