You guys are forgetting that your generalized idea of what works and what doesn't isn't so simple. Here is the more accurate truth. If is emotionally engaging, then it will be a more powerful experience. Your theory is that if it elicits logic, then it will inherently be "boring" or stale or emotionless. Wrong. Thoughts and thinking elicit emotional responses even if those feelings come in the form of something "comfortable" or "bored." All thinking has an emotional response because logic travels throughout the limbic system in response for reactive preparation. Sometimes the emotions are seemingly not there because your brain has determined they serve no purpose. If a girl talks about politics, she might be interested in your intelligence and have a sexual response to this. The point is that thinking is individual and so is their own response to thinking. What IS universal is that without emotional responses, the interaction will be dull. The topics or type of thinking is individual.
Love is devoid of mind stuff. Emotionally reasoning, however, is ego based and ironically obstructs us from our own needs, and impedes our ability to meet the needs of those we care about. It is the unconscious wants, whims, and desires which fuel our moralistic judgments, evaluations, and judgments of others, including the illogical assumption that other people can make us feel a particular way. This way of thought is what fuels Ego attachment, which is the antithesis of true love which is free from the world of form, the world of things (to be possessed). The former is the stuff of misplaced narcissism, the later, which is far more liberating, exist more in the moment and is devoid of psychological time, past and future.
