    Depends how you define love. Even the romantic kind comes in several varieties. The solid two way bond of affection is less common than Hollywood tells us.

      I agree with most of what you said except that most of what Hollywood depicts aren’t solid two-way bonds of affection. Instead it deploys a lot of shorthands (lust as a stand-in for love) and toxic relationship patterns.

        I'm well aware of those Greek words. Agape doesn't really refer to romance.
