But even if we accept all of that, no one said you love people in exactly the same way.
Let's say that when you think of person A, you release x1 amount of serotonin, y1 amount of oxycotin and z1 amount of dopamine. When you think of person B, the relevant amounts are x2, y2 and z2, respectively. Even if love can be characterized by exactly these 3 hormone levels, how do you order the triples (x1,y1,z1) and (x2,y2,z2) to decide which love is the "valid" one?
OK let's see here what's going on... hmmm I agree with kid and Pom-Pom... once I was in a similar position but the two Chinese girls hated each other with passion and I loved them both.
"For what is hate but love tortured by its own hunger and thirst? Verily when love is hungry it seeks food even in dark caves, and when it thirsts it drinks even of dead waters."
“The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.” - EW
It's a bit technical, but presumably their samples are large enough. The distribution of the sample mean (average face) is normal with variance that's equal to the variance in the population divided by the sample size, i.e. much smaller. That's why all of them look about the same.
Love is not a binary state on-off. Infatuation is love in its infancy. It may die upon meeting the other person, or it may survive. Anyway, people have different emotional capacities and their feelings shouldn't be measured against the same standard. What for one may be a trivial love is for another all the love he could ever feel.
In fact I'm pretty close to being an actuary: I've taught math finance at grad level. But I approach others as a human; not as a dispassionate observer.
