Love 'really hurts'
Last Updated: 2:51am BST 07/08/2007
Being in love does make you sick, scientists believe.
According to researchers at Imperial College London, the ups and downs of romance can be dangerous.
"Love has some obvious physical effects," said Professor Martin Cowie.
"Pupils dilate, palms become sweaty and the heart rate increases. Large amounts of adrenaline are running through our system which does cause problems," he added.
Stress-related illnesses at work arise from similar physical conditions, Prof Cowie says. "We have seen a big rise in people complaining of flu-like symptoms over a long period of time," he said.
Prof Cowie has been studying the effect of emotions on humans. He says there is evidence that bereavement can increase the risk of heart problems and death.
How this occurs is unclear - but death rates are up to 50 per cent higher in the six months after loss of a spouse, with men affected more seriously than women.
Being “In Love” is just like being drunk....
You do all sorts of stupid things under both influences...
Oh please, these people writing this article, offering quotes for it, are talking about love. They are talking about what happens when people convince themselves they are in love, or fall tfor someone who is not good at committing.
Love isn’t what hurts, people hurt each other. And it has been proven many times that people in comitted marriage outlive singles and are healthier.
Ah, the wedding ring, such a viscious circle.......
Huh. I don’t think it’s a good idea to use a bullwhip on the first date, but I’m kinda old-fashioned...
“Love really hurts”
Ask any smitten fourteen year old.
When I was 17 years old I went to a local theater. I don’t remember the name of the movie but the previews were for THE CINCINNATI KID with Ann Margaret.
She steamed up the screen!
Pupils dilated! Palms became sweaty! Heart rate went through the roof! I thought the screen was going to burst into flame! I was turned on for two weeks! I never saw the movie as I wasn’t sure I could take it.
40 years later..TCM had the previews on for THE CINCINNATI KID! With Ann Margaret!
She steamed up the screen! I thought the TV would burst into flames! It did blow a circuit not long after!
For me there was...nothing.
No sweaty palms. No racing heart. Nothing.
I knew at that moment I was over the hill, so I got me a rocking chair and a reservation at the nursing home. And I still didn't get to see the movie.
Bummer.
I'm not sure that's quite true in all cases. I was sick as a dog when I fell in love with Mr. Fairview. Couldn't sleep, couldn't eat, couldn't draw an even breath. Felt nauseated and sweaty from excesses of adrenalin. He was the same.
LOL. That Ann Margaret was quite a looker! Funny how life mellows over time or maybe I should say HORMONES. :-)
Not to worry.
There is a cure.
Marriage.
Cat o’nine’s tail is my preferred method.

what hurts worse is divorce settlement
Tom Cruise is an idiot!! So what else is new?
Love Hurts by the 70s rock group Nazareth
Love hurts, love scars, love wounds
And mars, any heart
Not tough or stong enough
To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud
Holds a lot of rain
Love hurts......ooh,ooh love hurts
I’m young, I know, but even so
I know a thing or two
And I learned from you
I really learned a lot, really learned a lot
Love is like a flame
It burns you when it’s hot
Love hurts......ooh,ooh love hurts
Some fools think of happiness
Blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves I guess
They’re not foolin’ me
(1) I know it isn’t true, I know it isn’t true
Love is just a lie
Made to make you blue
Love hurts......ooh,ooh love hurts
ooh,ooh love hurts

The “Long Riders”. One of the best westerns ever made. Stacy Keach and Randy Quaid:
Frank James: [gazing at Wilhelmina across a crowded dance floor] I got a question for you.
Clell Miller: Fire away, Frank. Fire away and fall back.
Frank James: You ever been in love?
Clell Miller: Oh God, yes. It was terrible. An affliction. Really miserable. Nothing but trouble. Drove me crazy.
Frank James: That bad? Really?
Clell Miller: Yes. She was wonderful.
Keep it up. I can’t get enough Ann Margaret.
Well maybe you can't, but what about poor Ruy Dias de Bivar?
Remember what happened to Ruy when he was a kid?
Clell: “G** D*** squareheads!”
