IMHO, there is "true love" between a male n a female at a particular moment in time, but it can't last forever. Circumstances change n people change. It's ineluctable.

Even in the case in which a partner (say the gal) dies prematurely, the surviving partner may continue to "love" her for the rest of his life. Is this true love? No, he is in love w/ his own memories of the dead gal. How could one truly "love" a person who doesn't exist?

Good day!

Sad to say true love is hard to come by now, because of many reasons!
Firstly most girls nowadays before they zoom in on personality of whatsoever they lol go for looks, and the way the guy dresses. Which I think it's very important.
Secondly the world is practical, girls would rather be with a guy that is reasonably well off and try to love him rather than a poor guy, sadly it's just the truth.
Thirdly girls re now wary of guys, if they know that you had many flings or one night stands, you can act go and fly kite or go to hell~ ANd if you hide it from them, which they ll know sooner or later, you can expect the worse moments of your life.

Good day!

Love is not possession... so it is possible

But, love can also take many forms

Love for the sake of love
Love for the physical attraction
Love for the sexual compatability
Love for reciprocity
Love for unconditional love
Love for loneliness
Love when u confuse it with something else

Let just say that One can love many people but can only be able to have a LONGTERM meaningful relationship with a few as it needs commitment of time and resources.

Love will not bloom without input and time spent together, if so, then it is either infatuation, lust or a bubble waiting to burst.

Hmmm....

I may sound naive, but I am not... I may sound silly or romantic, but I am not... When it comes to adults, "true love" becomes a compromise of ideals and also characters. This will result in a relationship that will last.

However, no matter who or what the other party is.... In my opinion, true love is when your heart is bursting. It is full of love for the other party and all you want to do is to show him or her the love... (and guys... I do not mean physical love or throw money here hor).. It is like the love a parent has for his or her child... Sometimes jealous, sometimes insecure, sometimes painful. But above and on top of all this feelings is the one where you want the best for the other party, you want the other pary to be happy and also want him or her to be cared for... without wanting anything in return. (I am sure not may parents say... "I will look after this child because I want the child to be my walking ATM or FB when he or she grows up)

And this begins a journey where there will be U-turns, detours, becoming tired, sometimes banging against brick walls... but in the end... it is a journey of happiness because like the pride and happiness when a parent feels when the child is successful and is all grown up.

Well said.

Recently had to end a relationship coz dun have that "heart bursting" feeling that says Im in love. I do care for her and have feelings for her, but not in the same way I felt with my EXes. I was pretty sure she'd make a good wife too.. but somehow I can't feel the love.. I guess I want my cake and eat it too.

Sigh.. :/

It's the entire package.

To put it in more succulently, or in more concrete Marketing terms, Singaporeans have traditionally been, are, and will always be, slaves to the art of Marketing and Branding. Brand a piece of turd on a stick well enough and you won't have much difficulty in getting the average Singaporean to devour it like a lollipop for $4.99. Brand yourself, establish a unique positioning, target the appropriate audience and girls will flock to you like bees to honey. It's really that simple.

Branding is an acquired art and not everybody can do it, not lest brand yourself, but with the right strategy (and past experiences to guide you along) you will learn very fast. Many forummers have described themselves as "simple, easy-going, no-frills, your average guy". That's all fine and dandy, but if you were doing a business, you would never consider marketing Tiger Airways seats to a CEO of a multi-national, would you? By the same token, if you've already pre-established yourself in a particular market position, you would never reach out to one that doesn't speak your language. To put in plain and simple terms, if you want to brand (or are) yourself as a simple, no-frills guy, you wouldn't spend your life going after someone who isn't going for a simple, no-frills man. It's all about knowing all about your own product (ie, you), then going all out to target the right market which would most likely buy that product.

Branding isn't about being. In other words, what the product really does may not neccessarily be what you position it to be. Advertising campaigns lie and exeggerate all the time within the confines of regulatory guidelines, so what's to stop you branding yourself as someone you're probably not? A product has various forms of media to help them out - TV, radio, newspapers and the like, appealing to the average consumer through all 5 senses. Branding yourself involves mainly only 2 - the visual (how you look, how you dress, how your hair looks yada yada) and the aural (your "sweet-tongue"). Ok, sometimes 3 (the olfactory strategy involves spraying lots of perfume on yourself all the time but that's really secondary). It's arguably simpler to zoom into these 2 areas then focusing on what needs to be done in this twin-pronged approach. If you're not good-looking, don't bother to dress up or follow the latest trends and care very little about how your hair looks, AND can't speak eloquently or have a sense of humour, it's the equivalent of having a good product but making zero sales because you didn't care enough to advertise or start creating awareness for it. At the same time, you're looking at your competitors making big money selling an inferior product but who has spent millions of dollars branding it as the best thing since sliced bread.. and with people falling for it.

The product is who you are as a person. The branding is what's going on everywhere else outside of it. Having the best product in the world doesn't necessarily mean the company making it is the biggest money-churner. More often than not, it's the company that brands itself the best that is the richest. That' why you see so many assholes who are rotten at the core getting the best girls. It's not luck of the Irish. They just managed to grasp the entire branding concept (right down to targeting the exact audience who are most likely to make that purchase decision) better than you.

At the end of the day, it's all targeting the right audience and crafting the perfect advertising campaign for your life. It's a tough job, but hey, who better to brand yourself than.. yourself?

Wah bro charmaine, you just finished your final year assignment or thesis is it?

To me, the concept of setting up personal branding and true love is opposing. Branding sounds too commercialised, like you say, is detached from real substance or even bear certain purpose in hiding a lack of substance. Substance actually gives a higher chance of finding true love.
