The Problem With Love

See, I was thinking about stuff, and korean dramas popped into my head. Along with this came the term "love triangle". I tried understanding why a love triangle was called as such, but failed. I shall explain why.

A love triangle is said to happen when guy A likes girl B, but girl B likes boy C (Or girl A liking boy B liking girl C). In diagrammatic form, we can represent this as:

Boy A --> Girl B --> Boy C

Now I ask you, how in hell does that look like a triangle to you? Its a fucking line, for goodness sake. If its to look in any way like a triangle, then C would have to be a fag, because C doesnt connect to A, nor anything else!

Now let us take scenario 2, where 2 people of the same sex like the same person of the opposite sex :

Girl A --> Boy B <-- Girl C

Still no triangle. The conclusion from scenario 1 still holds, in a sense that girl C would have to be a les. Either that or girl A is a les.

Hence, it can be concluded that the term "love triangle" is, in itself, flawed. A suggestion for a better name for such a situation would be "deep shit", or "deep shit love". The abbreviation of which would be DSL.

The reason for such a name is that any of the 3 people involved are in deep shit, and should try to extricate themselves from the emotional entanglement as soon as possible, lest they should fall into CDSL, or Chronic Deep Shit Love.

Chronic Deep Shit Love, as its name suggests, can drag on for a horribly long time, and will invariably take increasingly drastic measures to solve.

HAHAHAHAHAHA. Good one. Laughed my head off throughout. Good observation made though. Wonder why I never noticed a problem with the term. Hmmm. Oh well, happy new year! Cheers!

Haha... nice! Although of course you do know that is just one way of looking it. if say i were to put a triangle in the picture won't the term be exactly like its namesake :P

But funny one all the same heh. Happy New Year :)
