REACTION ON 'LOVE IS A FALLACY'

Do you really think that love is a fallacy?

Well, I think yes for this Max Schulman. Did he really make this crazy story? How? I want to know. I was greatly, super greatly impressed with this story of him. I don’t think he himself made this. Joke!

The story ‘Love Is A Fallacy’ was simply amazing. I was amazed and was doubtful when I read the ending of the story. Why?!? I didn’t expect it. I was expecting happiness in the life of the narrator. I thought he was the most perfect ideal guy on earth. I was expecting that he and Polly would be, in the end, steady with each other.

Polly was really a dumb, idiot, foolish girl. Yes, she was a beautiful, gracious lady but intelligent she was not. She lacked information about the world she is roaming. Imagine, he chose Petey Bellows, a stupid guy in their campus who is a faddist, instead of Mr. Perfect. But even though she chose Petey Bellows, I like the way she thinks. She was a fast learner. She was a logician. In five days time, she had understood and mastered all that was taught to her. Unlike Petey, she was not truly that dumb. She had knowledge left on her brain but unfortunately, she was not using it. Such a waist!

Petey Bellows was dumber than Polly. He was a narrow-minded guy. He was fooled by the big men on the campus that wear raccoon coats. What kind of boyfriend he was that he chose the raccoon coat in place of her Polly. I didn't fell so much contented with his attitude towards his girl. He neglected Polly for such a boring and futile purpose.

Mr. Perfect was such an intelligent, keen and was perfect! An ideal guy to all of the girls in this world. I liked him because he exerted great efforts and wasted a lot of his time for such an idiot girl. And what ha had gotten for this, failure. I felt pity for him. I thought that if that was me he coveted, then I would not refuse being his girl first, for the fact that he was just perfect and second, he was industrious and hardworking.


I liked also the comparison between the narrator and Pygmalion. He was truly a Pygmalion himself but she was fooled by Petey and Polly rejected his love for her. The story 'Love is a Fallacy' was just perfect for bookworms and it will also encourage non-bookworms to read books because it was a nice story. It was also very informative because it gives us information about the common fallacies of logic: Ad Misericordiam, Hasty Generalization, Post Hoc, Dicto Sympliciter, False Analogy, Poisoning the Well and Hypothesis Contrary To Fact. It also tells the true meaning of love.
