some sorts of love are american.


love at first sight is american.
love at first sight, first of all, is a myth. but an american myth.
why? because it is express. unlike real love, which requires time, this other type of love allows you to fall for somebody else without spending the time and effort that real affection requires.
the last type of love at first sight, or close to it, are the new american fashion (becoming, of course, more and more popular everywhere else as i write this lines): dating sites. there, capitalism and love at first sight, or first read, become one. love, therefore, becomes a good. a good, notwithstanding, with reward if you want so: a ring, sorry, i mean marriage. you dont need to do a thing. well, maybe a thing, some things: some clics, some choosing, some paying, some chatting and before you count ten you will be happily ever after engaged with the, literally, chosen one, as willing to fall in love as you, as short of time to do the real thing, i mean, the real world as you.
but maybe i am being to cruel. what do i know about the real world? isnt it american? isnt it electronic? quick, fast, and cheap is the future. maybe so love.

desvelada jaja

Mentira total, para ser honesta. amor a primera vista creo que aristóteles, platón, los románticos. creo que el amor americano tiene otras particularidades! No!!!
Piensa en todo el dispositivo de dating que tienen que es totalmente insuual en otros países, todo el cortejar es como si la pareja viviera en una corte bizantina, con los actos programados.... digo, que no creo que sea el país en que sea m´ás representativo el mito a primera vista!

no me refiero a eso. me refería, si no recuerdo mal, exactamente a eso que tú dices, que se lo creen porque se lo han hecho creer.
y no está nada relacionado con el amor a primera vista clásico.
el suyo existe porque está vinculado a todo un modo/sistema de vida: el del consumo eficaz y rápido.
uy, pero igual lo podemos hablar mejor en persona!
