Is love, when it's boiled down, really just the worship of a material object ?

Its not always lust i was in love with a woman who wasnt a model of the atypical ones i had been interested in, e.g. usually the blonde volutuous types etc
i was attracted to her because i saw someone who was everything. Mind, Spirit, and attractive to me. She represented a level of depth i had never experienced or seen from a woman before.edit on 29-9-2012 by AthlonSavage because: (no reason given)

I had to add that while I do think love is an obsession, it is not necessarily materialistic. For example my love is for an idea, someone who doesn't actually exist. So, how is that materialistic?

Lust is definitely an obession that is common between men and woman. Still lust for a womans intellectual or her spirituality or any other materials aspects she owns is also lust. Doesnt doesnt need to just be physical infatuation so i guess i have to say you were right first time off its all lust masking and pretending to be love at least between men and woman objects.
