Sample Question
How do you feel about love, women, and romantic relationships?

A man is only worth the love and devotion he can show to a woman—well, so long as she happens to be beautiful.

I love women in general, but they are usually too uptight and are always playing hard to get.

Marriage is a useful social construct and, of course, necessary for propagation of the species.

Love is a beautiful emotional and spiritual connection, governed by the mysterious and tempestuous feelings of the human heart.

The love between a man and a woman may just be the only solace a person can have in this gloomy, uncertain world. . . . maybe.

"Love" is just a psychological or even chemical desire that those who cannot bear to brave this world alone cling to; marriage is a tyrannical social imposition -- we mustn't fool ourselves into believing the illusion that there can be any truth, meaning, or permanence in a mere physical attraction.
