has this particular term been covered yet? i see the term quite often in a woman's profile and almost always followed by a list of conditions. is this one of the paradoxes that is common to a woman or is the simular "term" listed in a man"s profile too?

No such thing as unconditional as far as I'm concerned. I was married to an abusive SOB, and if I loved him unconditionally, I still would be.

Heaven 
You got it right.
There are some things unacceptable, so it would be "a condition"

Maybe I'm jaded, but I don't find "unconditional" (love) to be feasible in reality. It's such a wonderful concept, but I don't think mere humans can attain it.

I think love can get more unconditional as it grows-but totally? Yeah, there's a near impossibility-kind of like the no matter can exceed the speed of light thing...you can get closer, and clooooser, and cloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooser, but you can't get past it.

Unconditional love is rare... People say the love of a child, or the love of a pet is unconditional, but if the pet is destructive, or inconvenient, *poof* the pet is gone...
some folks act accordingly with their children....
Things we relied on in our youth are corrupt and scandal ridden, Where to turn?

Unconditional Love:
Such a sense of profound love comes when we first forgive and accept ourselves for all our limiting beliefs, mistakes, judgments and misunderstandings and apply the “unconditional” to us personally. We recognize our self worth, value our talents, and allow our selves to be who we are rather than what we think others wish us to be. In turn, we naturally understand those around us and extend our helping hand without condition, judgment or expectation. We see ourselves in the reflection of another and know that everyone deserves to love and be loved without condition.
Harold W Becker
We are unconditional love..

I have loved unconditionally....I know the experience.
It is real and attainable, if one wishes to know the experience.
It is anything but easy, but human beings can love this way.
The question is, will we choose to?

It is the only love worth striving for, but does not mean we are to put ourselves in danger. Unconditional love is not the same as romantic love, in my opinion, and can be given from afar.
I can love someone unconditionally but not accept their treatment of me or another. In fact, in my opinion, those who are the most 'unlovable' are who need to be 'loved' the most.

It happens. It has with me, my sons and my husband. I did not ask for any conditions with either of them.

My ex was loved unconditionally.....he was anything but "perfect", like anyone else, yet he was loved despite his many "mishaps", acts of selfishness, and times of being unthoughtful and/or uncaring.
I saw him in his full humanity, and accepted him as nothing less than human, a person with strengths, imperfections and flaws. He was understood for who he was, how he became who he was, and was loved despite his vulnerabilities and fears.
He was and is who he is, yet he was accepted and loved just as he was. I did not try to change him or make him into someone he was not. I loved him as is, and cut him slack as we were both simply humanity meeting humanity.
He was allowed to be who he was without anger or retribution.
I loved him within the context of Communion of Spirit.....Unconditional Love.
Unconditional love is not of the imagination. It flows from Spirit and Soul.
It is deep, calling unto deep.

I have stated I have learned what unconditional love is from my sons.....
No matter what I do...or they do..I and they will always love each other. I may not love their behavior at times......but I still love the person...
It works for my sons and I.....I dont think you can just expect to have it.....Not all relationships will have "unconditional" in them.....
But I will say...its a pretty cool feeling.......

I love my son unconditionally...no matter what they do or say, I still love them. It doesn't mean I like what they are doing or even like them at the time...I still love them.
With love between a man and woman...it's like Heaven said. Sometimes "conditions" happen and the love dies.
