People always say "Love Is Blind". I am not quite so about it. Do you agree that love is really blind? Tell me your reason.

yes it could be blind when we don't see each other for the people we really are

no.Love should not push you in a cliff w/your eyes closed.yes be blind when it comes to physical attributes but not about his/her attitude.It's not all about using your heart.using your head is also a necessity.You'd end up miserable if you don't balance your heart and mind usage.

So you will have to say love is not blind. That love needs to think what is logic or not. Thats nice thinking too. But sometimes love is too blind to think what is logic or not. Sometimes I just wonder how can a person do such an out of mind thing coz of love... like I can say that so many cases happened in my country that people can kill coz they are blinded of love and jealousy

I agree that love is blind. Scientists have shown that there is a degree of truth in the old adage that love is blind. They have found that feelings of love lead to a suppression of activity in the areas of the brain controlling critical thought. It seems that once we get close to a person, the brain decides the need to assess their character and personality is reduced.

I believe that love is blind. When I met my husband 13 year sago he was 5.9 and about 180 pounds. Today he is about 240. But when I look at him I still see him as he was when I first fell in love with him. I think that when you are truely in love you don't notice the outward appearance anymore but only the inward.

I don't think love is blind. It's just that you like a person so much that you are prepared to look at the best things and just hardly notice the lesser side. You aren't blind, you just don't want to pay much attention to it. That's maybe why people can lift eachother up by loving. You pay attention to the nice things and that's what you stimulate. In time the bad habits are still there but you've grown together and also the acceptance of eachother. That's what I think. But there is a momentarily blindness at the moment you fall in love, that's hormonal I think. :-)

yes. we sacrifice for the people we love, we swallow our pride just to save the relationship. we stop ourselves from doing what we want because we love the person.

No, love is not blind. My fiance and I are madly in love and we have never felt so clear-headed in all of our lives. We are together and our abilities and challenges compliment eachother. Where one is weak the other is strong. We make a fantastic team.

sometimes ya.from my experience it's blind when you have a crush on someone or you just go public about your relationship. That's normal.i've been with my boyf for 4 years and we can see all problems logically.

I think that love is blind. Afterall, if you're with anyone long enough there are things that will irritate and bother you. But if you're truly in love then you're blind to these things. They don't bother you. Other people might notice them but you don't.

That is what we call it love. Love never see the minus side of a person but all the good things indeed. If you really love a person you will accept it all the way no matter what....
