JNP:

The rational response would be: There are indefinitely many forms of love, an indefinite amount of things that can count as exemplifying this concept, so who am I to judge what should be called love and what shouldn't? The emotional response is: Of course many talks about love are just hurting my ears, be it either because they're pretentious or because they're just the erratic expression of a hormonal/neuronal state. Personally, I think love has to do with (1) hormones, (2) mutual understanding, and (3) commitment (not necessarily in this order). So of course "love at first sight" has less to do with (2) and (3), and thus might be suspect. But again, who am I to judge? :P
Oh, and about the ego thing: I was more or less referring to a study which says that the lower the educational standard of a person, the younger he or she will be when having sex for the first time. If that's a compliment for virgins, it's a bitter one!

mmm bacon0: Thanks!

DAJB: Given the emotional way he's reacting I wouldn't say it means "nothing" to him ;-P
