Yes love is blind and marriage is the institution for the blind.
-
If love were blind, sexy lingerie wouldn't be so popular.
-
I think it is partially, but not completely true... But the big question is: "What is your interpretation of the phrase 'Love is blind'?" http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/119174
-
Only if you have to put a bag over her head. - Hey that's why im here.
-
I believe it is true. When you love someone .. things about them are more easily tolerated than someone you do not love. When you love someone the feeling is so good that it is hard to focus on the negative. It is like when someone gets to you on such a deep level.. the little things are not such a bother because of how good they make you feel and how good it feels to love them.
-
love is not blind but stupid, practically because no matter how wrong things are when you are totally inlove you chose to ignore, you do things that you wouldnt do when you are not in love, you passed things that can't be pass and you let yourself hurt for so many times just for the sake of loving that person.. then that makes love (you) is blind..
-
when you are mesmerized with love for someone you can sometimes miss everything else dazed and confused
-
No, love is not blind. Love is just a feeling that will make you change and accept things you never thought you could. for example: your boyfriend/girlfriend cheats on you, you know this therefore you are not blind...you decide to live with it, and make it work...so no love is not blind, love is WEAK!!!!
-
lol it must be look at Prince Charles and Cammilla!!! :)
-
yes- and mute and deaf
-
Of course, no matter how you interpret the question. When you love someone you overlook faults and tolerate differences. There is someone out there for everyone, no matter what a person looks like.
-
Initially, yes....
-
yes, and so is lust. a guy can treat a girl like a whore yet she will still sleep with him because he gets her all hot and bothered.
-
Marriage is love. Love is blind. Therefore marriage is an institution for the blind.
-
i think so. at first you look over a lot of things that later on cannot be ignored.
-
Have you ever been in love? Oh it's true all right.
-
Love is Blind. You can't see Emotions.
-
I say what says the blind man, lol. Yes it can be, i have been there before, and in that particular instance it caused me heartache.
-
Love is blind, deaf and those in love sometimes act dumb too ..
-
yes, good example your children can do no wrong, just because they are yours and love them. LOve is blind when it comes to your family members.
-
blindness is a property that is seperate but can interfere with love.
-
nope but at times it can be blinding. you will do crazy things for love. but if you are referring to love being blind in the sense that love knows no gender, race, ethincity, etc. then yes, love is blind. its the mind that curropts us
-
i believe it can be cause you fall in love and you see the good things about the person and ignore the bad.
-
Yes. People in love often make stupid mistakes because they are thinking so positive that something negative doesn't even hit their radar. It makes me so sad, because often smart people make out like idiots when it comes to love.
-
No. I think it tries to be in many cases but it never really succeeds. Not seeing the negatives in a love relation requires effort and skill. Blindness no.
-
I believe that it can be for during the process of falling in love one is at their best behavior.When the comfort level goes up the real persons start to emerge more and more.When that happens sometimes people fall our of love.I believe it is important to take the blinders off,when falling in love.
-
At times.
-
Yes it could be at times or sometimes we know and see the truth and just choose ignore it.
-
Yes most of the times.
-
I dont have control over it, no one does. I dont know if it's blind, but I certainly am where it's concerned.
-
Personally, I think it is more deaf than blind. Listening is the key to a lasting relationship.
-
true love doesnt have to be blind.. as long as both partners love each other.. and are honest and true to there relationship.. some times though.. when one partner isnt living up to there commitment .. the other partner may chose to be in denial of there actions.. but inside it eats them.. so no they arent blind they just wear sunglass's to hide there true feelings
-
Well Love's vision isn't 20/20 if that's what you mean... :-)
-
I think that when you love someone, you're willing to accept so much more from them than you ever would from someone else. You understand what's happening which is what makes me say it isn't blind, but you're willing to take it all because of your love for them.
-
i never thought this when i was with my ex but now i am with somebody else most definitly!
-
No love isn't blind if anything it allows you to see deeper into the heart of someone. We see the good in them that many will never see. We also see the very bad in them as well but because we see the good we sometimes are hopeful it will over-take the bad.
-
yes ,,,, yes ,,,yes it don't care what the colour of a persons skin is or his/hers race is or religion is
-
Love is blinded by matter.
-
No. I believe that real love can definitely look past the occipital lobe's initial response, but once you're in love, you start to find physical beauty in the one you love that you didn't see before. And you can't be blind to enjoy that.
-
yes yes yes !...it has to be I'm as rough as guts and I have such a beautiful lady who loves me to bits ... so it has to be :):)
-
Sometimes love is nearsided. Sometimes love has coke-bottle glasses. Sometimes love is cross-eyed. But don't you let that S.O.B. love, tell you that it's blind. Love's a damn liar. That's what love is.
-
I don't know if it's blind but it sure makes u do crazy things
-
I believe it can be. When two people are going out with each other and are all lovey-dovey they cannot sometimes see the bad points in the other partner - even though its blatantly obvious to the outsider that there could be a problem.
-
IT SURE WAS 4 ME.... EVEN TOUGH HE PUT ME THRU HELL..IT TOOK ME ALMOST 4 YEARS TO REALIZE HE WAS NOT WORTH IT.. SO I WAS SO BLIND TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON..
-
If it's blind, then how does it find the one to love?
-
Yes, love is blind, but don't confuse that with, "love makes a person blind" Love is something that occurs as a result of something more than physical, they love the inner person. Like what I'm dealing with now. I don't know if it's love or not, but I know she's the closest I've come, and before I felt the way I do, I was attractted to her. I love her for who she is, not for her looks, and that's what makes it "love" not "lust"
-
I believe that love is not only blind but deaf and stupid as well!
-
Mine isn't
-
can be depends how in love you are. You tend to overlook certain things which can be good or bad.
-
Also, my love may be blind but it picked a beautiful person!
-
No , it may be accepting in some circumstances but I do not believe it is blind.
-
For the most part, yes.
-
Nope, but when you fall in love you will be temprory blind, but don't worry, things will be better when you start fall out XD
-
No it's not, people are. They see what they want to see, believe what they want to believe
-
Nope, it might be when your looking for it but once you've found it, its pretty clear. Love is great I must say..
-
If anything love opens your eyes to see things more clearly but the down side is it allows you to accept things you later regret. So if it is blinding it would be in how we choose to witness what is acceptable to ourselves.
-
In my view it is a symbol of partiality, or one sideness

God is Love and He sees all..........

Yes! I met a boy on my first day of high school. I was sitting beside him because it was the only seat left. The next day I saw an empty seat by a weird quiet girl and I took the first chance I got to move away from. He didn't have the hots for me either. During exams that same year we hung out and realized we had stuff in common. I ended up realizing I wasn't ready for commitment by january of the following year. Three years after that, just last month, I contacted him and now my man (being that young 'boy' I wanted nothing to do with) is on his way here right now :) <3 Love is blind! no doubt about it! Oh, and just for an extra I'm going out on a road trip tomorrow with that weird quiet girl who is now my best friend :)
-
true love is. if u reckon u love em...think; would you care if they suddenly became very over weight? would you care if they lost all there hair? would you care if they lost certain "vital" body parts? etc the man i am inlove with currently i was not attracted to untill we started talking. he made me laugh and that is what attracted me to him first. now i believe he is extreemly good looking. but i also believe that my deep love is a huge factor in the way i see him. if he changed his look in ne way i would still love him but if he changed himself as a person i may not.
-
it sure is.
-
Depends on how drunk you are.
-
If it's blindfolded by lust, irrationality, and selfishness, yes.
-
No. I think it should be more accurately stated... ...love blind(s).
-
Thank you for the comments and points. I still think I`m going to wake up one and day and it will all have just been a dream. My boyfriend calls me every night before I fall asleep just to remind me that he`s still there and isn`t going anywhere. I don`t believe anyone can honestly believe those cheesy well known sayings for real until it happens for real and if they let it happen and take the chance. Trust me, it`s the most amazing feeling in the world to know how stupid you once were when you`re smart later. I`ll believe it now and I don`t care what anyone else believes. When I cry my eyes out and the one guy is holding me I know it`s love and you could take all that away from me tomorrow, but right now is all that matters to me :)
-
No, but infatuation is blind.
-
Yes, in many situations it is. I believe that when you truly love someone you can be very blind (or in denial) about a lot of things if you dont confront them. Judgement can be cloudy thus leaving you blind, only way to combat this is to be conscious of it.
-
Blind, deaf, and dumb.
-
Accidental love, yes, others no.
-
no, just some of the ones who claim to be...
-
yeah most of the time.
-
YES, you want something that u can't have, then u get it, then u don't want it anymore because u find out who the person really is!!!

Fact from fiction, truth from diction, love is hardly blind. Most people chose who they have or want to be with not on how well they will mesh as a team but if that other person is pleasing to the eye. The logic says ever since we known ourselves we have been taught to get the shiniest one, the softest one, the bigger one, the smoothest one. In short, the one that looked and was better. Most people would take a fly car that broke down at least once every 8 weeks than a less sharp looking car you could drive to Egypt if there were a freeway going there. I never heard “love at 1st sentence”. People don't go to BBQ or bars etc and work the room chatting the other sex to see if they have game between their ears, they look over everyone and go try to chat those they find look good to them.

It can be, and was for me, once. +2
-
LOVE ; "Can" be Death, Dumb, and Blind !!
-
Nope,it's crap.
-
Yes, its true, you will in love with a girl and others will say, why i love her, she is not beautiful, but for me she is beautiful, so love is blind.
