As the poet said, I've seen love come, I've seen it shot down, I've seen it die in pain. I've learned from plenty of other people's mistakes and it ain't gonna happen to me.

Seems to me that pain and suffering are inevitable and all things are temporary. Given those truths I’d rather err on the side of having something beautiful and fulfilling if I get the chance. If there’s pain and suffering either way...and the “never having loved at all” part definitely has included pain and suffering for me...then at least it would be lovely to feel it was worth something, that it had a purpose. Sort of like a beloved pet...they hurt like hell when it’s time to let them go, but I don’t regret loving them.
Famous saying. Do you think this is true or false?
When I think of this from a general standpoint, I think it's true and I would encourage anyone to go for something rather than live life with nothing.
But, when I personalize this (as it pertains to my own life and relationships) I think I was happier before I had love and sex, when I was inexperienced. Of course, I still dreamt of those things and wanted them when I was inexperienced, but I didn't really know what I was missing. I just had ideas. You don't really know what you're missing until you have it. Now that I have had it before and don't have it now, I find that I am less happy than I was when I was inexperienced due to knowing exactly what I am missing. I mean, comparatively speaking. So, in a sense, I think it was better to have never loved at all.
What are your thoughts?
The statement is true. I also equate it to my mother who died when I was 9 and my brother was 11 months old. I remember the pain of losing her but also much of the love I felt for her as well. My brother has no memories and no conception of what a mother is.

Not trying to complicate your answer, but for your brother, your mom can be whatever he needs her to be, with no flaws whatsoever. You, on the other hand, probably can't envision her precisely the same way because of your memory of her.

Yes!!!
And that's why I was happier before I had experienced love. There was no disappointment to know. There was only good, no bad. Now I remember both and it's bittersweet.
Its hard-wired into a mans DNA to be the most strongest attracted to women in their late teens and throughout their 20's more than any other age group of women
It might be true for you, but it's certainly not true for me (thankfully). Of course, I'm 73. I don't think I could have romantic feelings for anyone under age 50; certainly no one in her teens, 20s or 30s and probably not in her 40s, since my kids are in their 40s. The thought of dating someone younger than my own kids is a little repulsive to me... not that I've ever had to reject someone their ages! LOL

But physically girls look the most attractive at these ages. That is men and womens physical prime. That is when women are the healthiest to have babies.
