Love


Love used to be a word which had so much power, back in the old days up till the 80's, when those words were expressed it conjured an emotion inside a woman, which was indescribable. See those days there was nothing like metrosuxual men, even though the traditional roles for men and women had started slowly changing with the evolution of woman's rights etc something's were still the same and emotion was one of them. Men did not cry or express emotion as it was perceived as a sign of weakness, so when a man said I love you to his woman she knew it took a lot and she appreciated it.

Then the 80's came along and everything evolved. As always with evolution the good always had the bad not far behind. For example the internet and other technological advancements made things quicker and better but it also made it easier for crime's likes 419 to occur.

With emotion's something similar also happened, the metro sexual man image came on the scene. The man who exfoliates, get a wax and its not afraid to share his emotion was the theme of the 90's with adverts' constantly bombarding consumers. David Beckman became the poster boy. With that the bad also came with men using words like love to get some sex, the word became synonymous with easy access therefore became abused which now brings us back to now the present.


With so many conflicting definitions of love, it's easy for someone to get confused. Speaking to different people its been described as a business relationship, a nice link or even a myth. One thing which was agreed was our parents and grandparents have shown us that when there really is love in a relationship there is peace but then is this something which is lost to our generation or is it just we don't know what we are looking for?
