Love is real. But it is not magic. It is not divine intervention or meaningful. Love means your body senses that someone is a compatible mate. That your genes and their genes would combine well.
Mental illnesses are health conditions involving changes in thinking, emotion or behavior caused by a chemical imbalance in your brain. Love does exactly that. Therefore, love is a mental illness.
I dont want love anymore. I want pleasure. I want power. Others may love me but I am stronger than some primitive trick to get me into spreading my genes.
Are you? Or are you a normie who is a slave to his amygdala?

Oh look, it;s this thread again.
Jack Green
no I replaced my amygdala with a gameboy color long ago

Love is a scam
Owen Wilson
i hate how people glorify love like its so good. love is just as bad for you as drugs or alcohol or porn or sex or and other vice. love makes people just as crazy as the rest. they are all poison that makes you feel good. ill stick with the lesser evils, booze and mindless sex
Jason Cox
I hope you wasted a lot of time on that shitty image. lol okay OP, deport me when you're POTUS

Love is a psychosis, not a mental illness. There's a difference. A mental illness is a life long and possibly not biologically intended condition.
Jackson Wilson
Sounds like someone just got dumped.
It's fun, just remember that it doesn't last. It's a lot easier when you know that and just enjoy it for a bit before it dies.

No the trick is to raise them like a daughter, and try to make sure they actually grow up with good values that women are not normally encouraged to have, like empathy.

you have described what mental illness involves but have not what makes something qualify as a mental illness and consequently have failed to describe how love fits this criteria
it is perfectly possible to be a functioning member of society and be in love and can even when used to form strong emotional bonds, contribute to good mental health as per maslows hierarchy of needs
a person who would be deficient at forming strong emotional bonds could be for example have some form of ASD or personality disorder.
i used to believe that love was an ego rationalisation of base sexual urges. whether it has anything to do with whether your genes will combine well seems dubious to myself from anecdotal experience.
whether love is an symptom of ego or an emotion in its own right is arbitrary to some extent
your emotions and ego are there to provide your consciousness with information. so whether it is an emotion or is (part of) ego it still providing you with information. what you do with that information is where your strength of character comes into play where you will be able to cultivate power. denying / repressing emotions is a mechanism for poor mental health
take for example your sight isnt the real world, your sight can lie to you, its your brains interpretation of electrical signals entering your brain. you wouldnt gouge your eyes out just because they only show you a hologram and not the real world instead you or maybe more accurately your psyche learns to use that information to aid you in your day to day life
incidentally OP i found this pic that i think could be of you
Liam Fisher
fuck meant to edit that out
i was going to go on to say that i couldnt have been genetically compatible with all the people i wanted to fuck or felt that i was in love with.
then i considered that most people who would fall into that category would be good looking
having good looks almost certainly has some correlation with good genetic makeup
so there is almost certainly some truth to OPs original assertion of love and genetic comparability

I beat the system by organizing my life in such a way that I am stuck in the red and orange levels of Maslow's pyramid, and therefore mental/emotional bullshit can't bother me. Simple life is good.
Julian Morales
I hacked Maslow. Love is a minimal requirement. Belonging is already done.
