I met my wife on this site.
I met my fiancé on this site.

There is something to be said about revealing your "dirty secrets" to a person who loves that about you. Who makes you feel normal, protected, safe and loved. Lush allows you to be yourself without any filter. And when you meet someone that you enjoy without their real life filters, it can create an intimacy unlike anything most will ever have in our daily physical life. I don't like to call life outside of lush "real life" as life on Lush can be real as well.
People come here that are "in love" with their partners in their physical lives but say they cannot share Lush with them. It always makes me wonder what they are hiding from each other and what would happen if they just shared all their secrets. If there isn't truth in their relationship, is it truly a fully committed loving relationship? I'm not saying those couples don't love each other, but it seems a surface level love based more on tradition, convenience, obligation, affection, finances, etc. Those relationships don't seem like they are the Romeo and Juliet type of 'I'll die if I can't have you' kind of love.
Yes, love is rare. But after experiencing the depth of affection, lust, and love that I have with my love here, and comparing that to past "loves" that I've actually touched, there is no doubt in my mind who is my real life love.
Yes, you can get hurt here. But that can happen anywhere. Yes, there are liars here. But there are liars everywhere.
Yes, you can find love here. Love happens whenever two people connect at a soul level and put in the work to make it continue to grow. It takes incredible amounts of work, time, tears, heart and total commitment, but it can bring you a love like you never imagined could exist-not even in your best daydreams.
And that is truly rare anywhere.

Some here have found love, I’m friends with four couples here that met here on this site (that’s like 8 people out of 100,000s of members). That said I’ve also have seen and dealt with a bunch of nonsense of people saying things in the heat of the moment. Yes you can find people you click with and it can get intense and you may even talk off lush. Do I think people should look for love here? No I don’t because it is rare and most are just looking for a distraction from their real lives and so many friends of mine have been hurt by liars and assholes here... male and female. Like Candy said most of it here is superficial.

I know of a few couples who have been fortunate enough to find their real life partner through this site. I think it's possible to develop feelings for someone, particularly if you end up taking it outside of lush and meeting in person. However, most of it is superficial.

Yes. An online relationship can become ‘real’ and getting to know someone’s mind first isn’t a bad way to start. However, I think the move from online to face to face meetings is essential if the relationship is to last. I don’t think an online only relationship has longevity. Correct me if I’m wrong.
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

Only if you meet face to face. One never know if they are talking to a person or eggplant.
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

There is no other word for it. Why not call it "love." Some of us are more susceptible to this thing called love. I know that. I've found love several times here on Lush. I keep finding it. Sometimes it is stronger than other times. And sometimes it lasts for a longer time. I do know that I've been smart enough to actually tell the person how I feel. And I've been lucky enough to find out they share that love. They have shared it and still do. Maybe it is not lust. Maybe it is not passion. Maybe it is not sexually fulfilled. But it is love. Joyful love. Friendship love. Happy love. Just pure, open, responsive, faithful, fateful love. It is a good thing.
