Is love blind?

I was just asked this question, via a quiz I was taking. I responded with the following answer:
 
"Love is blind, to those who refuse to see it." 
 
How would you answer the question? Also, what do you make of my answer?
 
EDIT: Reading a couple of these posts has made me interpret the question in a different manner. Perhaps love is blind to the naked eye, and can only be felt. Thus, those that base their claim to love, could only be true if they did not base their statement purely on physical traits. Sorry if this is poorly worded, it was a spontaneous thought.

Nowadays, love consists of saying "Hey, wanna go out" and the other person saying "Okay", going to a movie, and then breaking up.

Well that would depend on your definition of the word, "love." There is a vast difference between the word, "like" and "love." "

That's not my definition, that's what I've observed. "

Not in my city, at some point a teenage girl would get pregnant. "

Well how could you call that "love," when you would not define it as the said example. "

What kind of quiz were you taking!?

Because that's what the majority of the population seems to believe. "

I've never met or seen anyone who believe that to be true. "

I disagree with your statement.  Love is a subjective emotion, much like happiness or sadness: those feelings are different for everyone.  The same things that make you sad or angry could possibly make me happy.  I am not capable of falling in love as I see it as pointless, but I do not believe it's because I'm blind to it.

It seems to be lately, Love just turns around and beats the living shit outta you.

" @Br3adfan: You should talk to teenagers more. Many teenagers believe that based on looks they are in love. Luckily, I'm smart enough to know that love is when you're with someone who sticks with you til' the end, no matter what.  Alright, Dr. Phil is done here. =P "

No, she can see perfectly well. Was speaking to her only earlier.  
 
oh you mean't 'that' love....

I used to hear the phrase "love is blind" a lot, and I always interpreted it as love not discriminating against physical traits, but the meaning insinuated in that quote is a lot different than that, so I'm not sure what to make of it.  Perhaps it is trying to asses that you can not possibly know what love is until it happens to you, in which case I have to agree.

Love is a way to get a woman in bed.

I don't know. I've never been in love.

Somebody went on Facebook interviews, didn't they?

I agree with this. It's not only teenagers either, it's the same with adults. "

AMIRITE?!?

You've observed teenage love, not actual love.  Love is totally not blind, love may have bad eyesight, but it certainly isn't blind. "

 There is a difference between middle school crushes that are blown out of proportion and real love.  You make a decent Dr. Phil by the way. "

"Love is a way to get the same woman in bed for half a century. "

Love these days isn't blind, but has an obscured vision. People getting together just because the other looks good. Having sex, getting married, then breaking up. Or maybe not even getting married. The way I see it, what matters isn't just whats on the outside, but also on the inside.

 Reading a couple of these posts has made me interpret the question in a different manner. Perhaps love is blind to the naked eye, and can only be felt. Thus, those that base their claim to love, could only be true if they did not base their statement purely on physical traits. Sorry if this is poorly worded, it was a spontaneous thought.

Hell no, I have standards.

This is true, but you can also fell a crush emotionally. There is a big difference between a crush and love in my opinion.  Why the hell am I even talking about shit like this? "

I should probably add that. I know a person in my school that has a child. "

to me, "love is blind" means it finds no faults. you love someone to the point that they could walk all over you, drag you through mud, cheat on you, etc etc, and yet your heart still beats for them.

I'm not entirely sure how to answer this since I've never gotten any experience in it.

To paraphrase Mike Judge, love is not only blind, but mildly retarded, as well.

Love is something people like to try to figure out, while I'll just enjoy it when it comes.
