A fallacy is defined as erroneousness, an invalid reference or the quality of being deceptive.It is a component of an argument that is demonstrably flawed in its logic or form. But is love really a false notion? Max Schulman's “Love is a Fallacy” is one of the best love stories I had already read. At first, I had a hard time understanding the story for it has so many unfamiliar words to me. But just as I read it over and over again, it made me understand it much better and it made me love the story so much. It talks about one reality in life that when you fall in love,you are willing to take those risks and you learn how to fight just for that love. The story is actually about two guys who fell in love with the same girl . I really appreciated the narrator. He must be a nice guy. He looked for a way on how he would spend his time with Polly. That what must all guys should do!*laugh*...But it still ends up that the girl(Polly) choose the main character's friend(Petey) over him,and the worst thing is that Polly choose Petey over him just because he had a raccoon coat! She only liked him just because of that material thing that made him belong to the “Big Men” in school, what a shallow reason,right? (But that's just my opinion! )...I can say that she's one of those material girls who couldn't love truly if there's no exchange . . . I really dislike Petey so much . . . Yes . . . he did try to impress Polly but it wasn't his raccoon coat . . . BOYS WILL REALLY DO EVERYTHING TO MAKE THE GIRLS LIKE THEM . . . For me, love can't be test through any material things. It doesn't matter if he gives you flowers and chocolates or not as long as their love still remains. It really does not matter if he spends a lot on your dates and always treat you for a dinner and an outing. But love? It's how sincere the person is, of how that person is willing to do everything for your love and those things he can give up for you. Most especially? It's not important for me if “my boyfriend” is famous and popular and is known to be one of the coolest guy who got the cutest look and wear those branded, cool jeans and stuff...but what matters most is that i know he is worth to be my boyfriend and I love him not just because of any material thing but the real him without those factors that makes up a “popular, cool guy!” I don't know why the story entitled “Love is a Fallacy”. Maybe when people say, a wrong timing and not in the right time yet. But you never choose the person you fell in love to. Most especially you'll never know when that happens and why that happened. So, when love comes our way, we can never avoid it and especially love can never be a false notion because falling in love is beyond our control...Well..in some points of life, things happen for a reason just as when love knocks your door, let it in for it has a reason!
