Why is love blind?

Unfortunately to many love is not blind. Let me explain why I feel that way.

When love is blind those who are inlove don't see race, religion, physical imperfections like weight or beauty age etc.

For many love is not blind because they can't get past the things I have mentioned above. Especially race and physical imperfections. as we grow older though some learn to be more accepting of many of the factors that prevent love from being blind.

When love is truly blind it shouldn't matter that their skin is a diffrent color, or they are 200 lbs over their ideal weight or 50 lbs under it. It shouldn't matter that on the outside someone is not physically beautiful. We shouldn't care that someone is 30 years older or younger than us of course that is unless that would make one party a minor then we should care.

Too often so many of us are unwilling to relax our standards of who we will be in a relationship with. Frankly it is quite sad when many of us do that because we miss out on opportunities to be with someone who could be our perfect match in almost every way except they aren't the right race religion weight aren't pretty or handsome enough etc.

The world would be a much better place and less people would be alone in this world if we all just learned to relax our standards a little bit and not let such silliness stand in our way of opening our hearts to someone.

Love is blind because when you love someone you don't see their imperfections. You don't notice the graying hair, the laugh lines or crows feet. When you look into the eyes of your beloved you see only beauty looking back at you.

the question I think is little wrong.
why love is blind ?
true love is never blind, the person knows the other person completely, inspite knowing his/her weaknesses he/she loves him/her
and it stays forever no matter what happens.

now what you are asking is :
is love blind ?
I would call that love as an obsession...
and yeah....as you know obsession is always blind.

love is not blind it sees but in never mind....

because if it wasn't it would be lust

Because some very nice people are really ugly;)

I see allot of interesting posts on this matter but none that really hit me to the true nature of the question... I think most of you are looking at this question as you would normally look at any other question and you try to give it what you would think of as a "WEBSTERS DEFINITION" But I don't see it that way at all... its one of the best metaphorical questions of all times I believe..
Love is allot things to allot of people but it's never had eyes or ears or pockets that hold the cash that builds the homes in which it can grow in... But the question "Why Is Love Blind?" to me is asking why would a rich girl want to marry a poor guy? Or why would a sailor spend the rest of his or her life with a God Fearing Christian? How come no matter where we are at in life, if we haven't found the one in which we were predestined to be with then were lonely no matter who we are with?
I started working when i was 13 to help with the bills and provide myself with things I needed, and for the next 15 yrs I always had everything I needed and most things I wanted , well at least I thought I did.. I met a girl when I was 14 though that I was absolutely head over hills for... Even as a young boy I just knew that my life was nothing without her.. But as thrilling and exciting as any roller coaster ride I have ever been on, It was over before I knew it and I was forced to tell her bye ...
I was 15 yrs old when I saw her last and I ended up getting married to someone that I thought would please my family.. A church going girl that seemed to be very family oriented and we had 3 beautiful children together before she just got up one day and said she was ready to get off the ride.. 6 yrs we were together and 4 out of those six yrs I was always questioning myself on why we were married in the first place... We got a divorce 4 yrs ago and have joint custody with our kids..
I'm 31 yrs old now and for the first time in 16 yrs I finally got to talk to the girl that won my heart.. The Angel that I knew as a young boy... Now she was a woman... And even more beautiful than I remembered.. She tells me that she was with a guy for 11 yrs and they have 2 kids together. However, she never married him.. Hes in jail now and she tells me that her life hasn't been nothing like she thought it would be when she was a little girl, financial struggles, drugs, everyday stress... Well who's life is everything they thought it would be when they were playing hide and seek on their Grandmas land right?
But she goes on to start explaining herself to me and I stopped her before she could get the first sentence out of her mouth because I couldn't see past the fact that she was my True Love.. She was the reason that I spent my whole life knowing what Love was and trying to find the good in every bad relationship.. I realized right then that she still had my heart and no matter what she's done or I've done in my life I Love Her With Everything My heart Beats For..
So is Love blind? I would say so, but not because it cant see, its because it chooses to see the best of the one its attached to... While at that same instant accepting the bad things as if it was just your child making the everyday mistakes in life that they are destined to make...
The only key to finding True Love though wont be by picking up the phone and calling Madam Mazelles Hotline to Love and Happiness, But instead, It's by you Loving yourself as well.. How can you expect anyone else to Love you if you don't even Love you? You might not have everything in life you thought you would have but if you Love yourself enough to take care of your health and your body then you will eventually find out that you will have everything you need...

Because sometimes when you are in love you don't see the negative side of your partner.
And/or because you love them for that negative side.

because LOVE masturbated too much as a kid.

i only have a mirror...

Normally u say that when things start going wrong. Or you are in love with someone not your league.

Because love penetrates the soul, and the soul has no visible image.

Translation: true love is not skin deep.

Because ur supposed to trust the partner no matter what the circumstance.

..there is a story behind that if anyone is interested.
just let me know.

its too difficult to explane...........love is behind

coz while seeng continsly by one another our eyes get strained which leads 2 site n latr even blind too.. :p

Love is blind because love is an act of faith in your partner. The relationship is one of your most treasured possession, and that makes you biased. The reason I believe love is an act of faith is because we never know if the person we love feels the same way, or if the relationship will last, but if you love them, you will believe it. It's as if love in the community might cause you to do something kind and selfless(ish?) even though you have no clue if it will ever be appreciated or have an effect. In both cases we just believe it because there's no other way to love without that faith.

you'd have to be in love to know that.

one of my favorite quotes is love ture love is seeing an imperfect person perfectly meaning u dont fall in love based on what you see on the outside but you fall well i mean grow in love with the person inside their personality attracts you more than their looks love is not blind to the people who cant get past looks because its the only thing they are looking for in a person but to other people its is at first but after they truly get to know the person their personality starts to show on the outside

For the same reasons it's deaf and DUMB too.

DNA and hormones are messing your instruments for their own purposes.

It's not, love allows you to see things very clearly. That is how you can forgive, accept and stand by the person whom you love. It is infatuation that leads the emotions of the heart blindly. What happens is that people can't tell the difference.

love is blind in those eyes who have not seen or grown up around love. as for me i think love is blind because the only love i have ever seen comes with pain and abuse so love is not something i belive in, though others say that love is not blind because if you love someone you can still see other things but you are surrounded with care and support and that is not blind that is safety.
