I, don't, believe, in, unconditional, love

I've been thinking and what is unconditional love? As far as I'm aware unconditional love is loving someone without any conditions (so a gold digger loves someone for their money - conditional). But everyone we love must match certain criteria (looks, personality, personal history). If our partner has the personality of a seal you're probably not going to be in love.
So many factors come into play and if those that we love branch to far from our conditions we won't love them. So does that mean unconditional love doesn't exist or have I got this all wrong?

    Apparently you believe in excess punctuation in titles, though.

    Can't imagine exactly unconditional love. Sounds nonsensical to me. Our world itself is contingent, which means that it is determined by conditions and choices (see Leibnitz for more). So I can't see how something unconditional can apply to us.

    Unconditional love is tee thought... i love imagining a cute girl with a pretty face, super cute and pretty, a rund booty and that treats me well and we have tons of amazing sex together. But then in real life, you have to cook, to clean the house, take care of kids, go here and there to pay shit, work... alot of shit get in the way, and besides that, if you find a girl and then get tired of living with her, you get another girl and it would be the same... real life you need to make alot of shit, and wear off things. But i still imagine that god sex with a cute girl, al the time!!

      Yeah but let's say this dream becomes a reality and you fall in love with this super cute girl. Essentially you fall in love with her looks rather than the actual station girl.
      So your love hangs on the condition that she's cute and, if she wasn't, you wouldn't be bothered.

    I think it only really applies between immediate family members. I love my children unconditionally because they are my children and I gave birth to them. I also love my husband very much but it is not unconditional. If he was cheating on me or started beating me up I would probably stop wanting to be with him and in time would probably stop loving him. But I will never stop loving my children whatever happens.

      Sure but if they grew up to be violent and began abusing you I'd doubt you'd feel the same. Or maybe you would I don't know, I don't have kids.

        You may be right I don’t know either. My kids certainly brought their dramas into our lives as teenagers. In different ways they brought their own challenges but despite the problems and heart ache they brought I never stopped loving them. Fortunately they grew out of their difficulties and are now well balanced adults with jobs. If they had been beating me up I don’t know if I may have felt differently because it never happened. I like to think nothing would ever stop me loving my kids but I guess we all have our limitations.

    I can't love someone who doesn't like cats and dogs! I can be casual friends with a non-animal person on a certain level, but any sort of romance is out of the question. Romantically not liking, or preferably loving, animals is a deal breaker!

    I used to be similar to that. I thought that relationships were stupid, and in reality, most of them are. However, when you finally meet someone who loves you and you for who you are, you may change your mind. I know that I partly did.

      A good mother should have unconditional love for a newborn.

      Yeah but what if you weren't who you are. Imagine your opinions were different or you looked different. They wouldn't love you then.
      Conditions have to be met by both parties in a relationship, such as personality, for it to work.
