Ouch. That is a very superficial type of love isn't it? The Greeks had multiple words for love including eros and agape. The type of love you are describing is the "eros" or inward focused selfish kind of love. There is a much grander "agape" type which I won't even try to describe except to say it has to do with serving and is a sacrificial kind of love....think about the men giving up their seats on the lifeboats of the Titanic for the women and children.
