Also, hatred is not the strong absence of love, but the strong presence of hatred.

I was actually about to chime in and say the same thing. Hate and love are two manifestations of the same energy, just vibrating at different wavelengths (if you want to visualize it and can't understand the abstract). Both love and hatred involve an intense emotional investment in the entity of interest. The absence of love is apathy.

The question that no one wants to answer or confront is why women respond stronger sexually (regardless of whether they want a long-term relationship or a one time fling) to the dark, "hate" energy than to the much more positive love energy.

Sarge and I don't agree on everything, but he's definitely not off or wrong about this.

If you consider that love and hatred are exactly opposite things, and if they actually are the manifestations of the same energy, I think the 2 statements would be equivalent.

But imagine a man speaking and acting with full passion towards something. Wouldn't you say that's an attractive trait? Maybe it's rare to find, and I'm not actually implying that when I ask the question, so just wondering. But it makes sense to me. The thing is, I think hatred is more accessible and easier to generate, whether it's because as a society we've made it so, or because it's the path of the less resistance, I'm not sure.

I think it may be because it shows that, on some level, you care. Indifference (as Duke mentioned) is the worst thing (results-wise) you can "be" towards someone else.

The intensity of hatred shows how much you care, and why I think hatred works better than love is because love is what most people inhabit when trying for approval.
