Yeah the dreaded "L' Word on a Swinger Site Forum !!!
Was asked a question that really had me thinking and wondered if anyone else had any input.
What is the diff in LOVE for a Friend and LOVE of a Family Member.
LOVE is a word but also describes a feeling.
I know folk may say there is no difference and others will say massive diff, personally I cannot see any and it has me curious to others thoughts!!!
So this post is just to see how others define LOVE for a Friend compared to that for a Family Member. X

Recently I’ve visited a restaurant with my partner and there is a bartender calling LOVE to anyone visited him for drinks. Like “hey love what drink do you want to have” “here you go Love” etc… I think most of them are using it just to be friendly and polite but yeah meaning has gone for it  |

Yeah too many actually use it as a term of endearment.
I am asking for opinions on diff btwn the Love for a Friend to that of a Family Member x |

The love you have for a family member is unconditional. The love you have for another person is different. You can love friends like they are family but to be ‘in love’ is completely different.
Being in love is an emotional rollercoaster. For some the barriers have to be broken down that have been built to protect from being hurt again.
Some people fell in love easily and quickly. It’s a minefield.

Thanks mostly to media the default when we talk about 'love' is romantic, monogamous love with the occasional nod to familial love (which is also assumed). But when you look back over the ages there was acknowledgement of lots of different kinds of love (friends, family, partners, lovers, neighbours, colleagues etc). Not better or worse, just different, in the same way we can love different family members in different ways.
The idea that love is deemed "less than", diminished or rendered meaningless because it doesn't look like a storybook or Hallmark movie version is sad to me - it should be embraced and celebrated in all forms and variations. |

For my family I would literally die to save them.
For a friend there is varying levels of friendship so some are just friends and some I would consider doing almost anything for so for me there is a definite difference between love for family and love for a friend.

I think the unconditional love I have for my children surpasses all others.
I have good close friends of more than 50 years standing and a great love for them too but that in part comes from shared experiences and while important and dear to me is certainly a different thing |

Definitely 
On a more serious note, human beings have written volumes, books, songs, poems and philosophised as to what love is for thousands of years. Some people have friends that are closer than family and some have horrible families that they feel no love for. Love is different things to different folk I guess xxx |

There is Eros, the passionate sexual love of the romantic, sent on an arrow it pierces the heart and loins of couples filling them with lust and new love.
Philia is the love of friendship and goodwill, often referred to as brotherly love as it is the kind of love that one wants for his fellow brother, best friend and family to live with. It encourages one to live a truer fuller life. Sometimes Eros turns into Philia as the passion of lovers burns out and lust is replaced with understanding and mutual love.
Storge is familial love, felt between parents and children and is usually born out of dependency for one another, as a child needs one’s parents and loves them for their parenting. A parent loves their child because they are replicas of themselves, being their offspring and should have that parental need to care for them.
Ludus is playful love, flirting and casual with a sense of uncommitted allegiance, both parties have to be agreed on this otherwise somebody gets hurt.
Pragma is practical love, a working love that has an agenda. It is regarded as a dutiful love with a purpose, an example being an arranged marriage, where one has to commit and to love the other as part of their duty.
Philautia is self-love, the kind of love driven by the ego that inflates the sense of one’s self. At first this sounds bad but actually it is very handy when one is healing oneself because it helps with the sense of the person and reminds one to be kind to one’s self.
Agape is the love one feels for all things, a compassionate love that is altruistic and selfless. It is one love for all and everything, in fact it is the highest form of love and is the love of god for man and the love of man for god.

Love is simplistic collective term for deep emotional connections with others.
Love as a word is overused and miss understood by many.
Better to describe your emotional connection to another than use it. It will give meaning and a deeper fulfilment to the relationships.

I guess for me love if you like for a friend is conditional.
Love for my family is not, now whether I choose to interact with them is obviously based on conditions but I will always love them regardless. I may think of good times fondly with friends but I will not keep love in my heart for them if trusts etc are broken.
I am finding this hard to articulate ha . |

I don't think there's much difference between "love for a friend" and "love for a family member". I'm fortunate enough to have friends that I've known for 25+ years and they're move family to me now than my family members.
If you think of love as having a deep emotional connection with someone that is based on trust, support and knowing you can depend on them when you need to, then love for family and love for friends can genuinely be the same thing.
Being "in love" with a person is something different. That's when there's a physical connection as well as an emotional/spiritual one.
That's my ten cents worth |

"Thanks mostly to media the default when we talk about 'love' is romantic, monogamous love with the occasional nod to familial love (which is also assumed). But when you look back over the ages there was acknowledgement of lots of different kinds of love (friends, family, partners, lovers, neighbours, colleagues etc).
the Greeks have I think 8 different words for love
There is Eros, the passionate sexual love of the romantic, sent on an arrow it pierces the heart and loins of couples filling them with lust and new love.
Philia is the love of friendship and goodwill, often referred to as brotherly love as it is the kind of love that one wants for his fellow brother, best friend and family to live with. It encourages one to live a truer fuller life. Sometimes Eros turns into Philia as the passion of lovers burns out and lust is replaced with understanding and mutual love.
Storge is familial love, felt between parents and children and is usually born out of dependency for one another, as a child needs one’s parents and loves them for their parenting. A parent loves their child because they are replicas of themselves, being their offspring and should have that parental need to care for them.
Ludus is playful love, flirting and casual with a sense of uncommitted allegiance, both parties have to be agreed on this otherwise somebody gets hurt.
Pragma is practical love, a working love that has an agenda. It is regarded as a dutiful love with a purpose, an example being an arranged marriage, where one has to commit and to love the other as part of their duty.
Philautia is self-love, the kind of love driven by the ego that inflates the sense of one’s self. At first this sounds bad but actually it is very handy when one is healing oneself because it helps with the sense of the person and reminds one to be kind to one’s self.
Agape is the love one feels for all things, a compassionate love that is altruistic and selfless. It is one love for all and everything, in fact it is the highest form of love and is the love of god for man and the love of man for god.

There is Eros, the passionate sexual love of the romantic, sent on an arrow it pierces the heart and loins of couples filling them with lust and new love.
Philia is the love of friendship and goodwill, often referred to as brotherly love as it is the kind of love that one wants for his fellow brother, best friend and family to live with. It encourages one to live a truer fuller life. Sometimes Eros turns into Philia as the passion of lovers burns out and lust is replaced with understanding and mutual love.
Storge is familial love, felt between parents and children and is usually born out of dependency for one another, as a child needs one’s parents and loves them for their parenting. A parent loves their child because they are replicas of themselves, being their offspring and should have that parental need to care for them.
Ludus is playful love, flirting and casual with a sense of uncommitted allegiance, both parties have to be agreed on this otherwise somebody gets hurt.
Pragma is practical love, a working love that has an agenda. It is regarded as a dutiful love with a purpose, an example being an arranged marriage, where one has to commit and to love the other as part of their duty.
Philautia is self-love, the kind of love driven by the ego that inflates the sense of one’s self. At first this sounds bad but actually it is very handy when one is healing oneself because it helps with the sense of the person and reminds one to be kind to one’s self.
Agape is the love one feels for all things, a compassionate love that is altruistic and selfless. It is one love for all and everything, in fact it is the highest form of love and is the love of god for man and the love of man for god.
Had this on file it’s only seven mind you
W9W Thank u so much. X
You’re welcome, I forgot I had it till Jimbo18750 jogged my memory impressed open door,but do you know the Greek for smartarse? Only joking btw.What you mean by on file?Maybe someone could create an 8 th??? Ha let me know if you need any more jogging?got you
Greek for smartarse = exypnákias as to my files… if I told you that I’d have to kill you I'm sub d enjoy it sort of up to the death bit but everything before
Reminds me of a very old joke;
The masochist says to the sadist “Hurt me, hurt me!”
The sadist said “…. No”… :-your joke reminds me of an old bob monkhouse one.When I told people I was going to be a comedian they all laughed,they re not laughing nowD
My Dad loved Bob Monkhouse :-Hope im not old enough to be your dad? Ha.mysterious woman He was supposed to be great live but very blue.Think he had a reputation for stealing other people's jokes,think they all doD"

"I don't think there's much difference between "love for a friend" and "love for a family member". I'm fortunate enough to have friends that I've known for 25+ years and they're move family to me now than my family members.
If you think of love as having a deep emotional connection with someone that is based on trust, support and knowing you can depend on them when you need to, then love for family and love for friends can genuinely be the same thing.
Being "in love" with a person is something different. That's when there's a physical connection as well as an emotional/spiritual one.
That's my ten cents worth "
Thank you so much x |

I believe, like most things, love is on a scale. There can be different types of love, love for your family, love for your friends and love for lovers. Being in love is different to the 3 of them i think. When in love you would do anything u could for that person if physically possible, u think about them all the time and when u see things u think "ohhhhh, so and so would like that" not saying those things dont happen when not 'in love' but the are definitely more prominent  |

"Yeah the dreaded "L' Word on a Swinger Site Forum !!!
Was asked a question that really had me thinking and wondered if anyone else had any input.
What is the diff in LOVE for a Friend and LOVE of a Family Member.
LOVE is a word but also describes a feeling.
I know folk may say there is no difference and others will say massive diff, personally I cannot see any and it has me curious to others thoughts!!!
So this post is just to see how others define LOVE for a Friend compared to that for a Family Member. X
Love as temporary insanity?anybody else ?
