The advantage of love at first sight is that it delays a sec

Summary

This quote suggests that the initial experience of falling in love at first sight is advantageous because it prevents one from observing or discovering any potential flaws or shortcomings in the person they have fallen for. Instead, the quote implies that by succumbing to immediate feelings of love, the individual is spared the opportunity of critically analyzing the person or the relationship. It implies that a second sight, or second look, may reveal aspects that could potentially dampen or change the initial enamored feelings, ultimately suggesting that love at first sight allows for immediate, blissful infatuation without the complications of deeper inspection.
