Here is my question. What is better ???? LOVE or LUST.
From experience my opinion would be that although love is grand when you are in love with someone, the problem is it tends to end and end bad. Where lust is pure physical attraction... you don't have to worry about if they snore or if they leave their socks on the floor or don't put down the toilet seat, it is pure physical attraction that may last one night or one month but never ever becomes anything serious and you never get the chance to be bored of each other...
Love is being able to sit in the same room as someon and there not be awkward silences.. no need to try and fill in the gaps, knowing each other very well, knowing that when you come home he or she is there waiting for you and will be happy to see you..

Both have there ups and downs, I'm just curious to see who would choose one over the other and why....

You know, there is nothing wrong with a bit of each. I think the true winning way is to be in love but not to let go of the lust side with your partner.... If you can keep that side of it strong it would and should only make your love even stronger. Then there would be no need to be going out looking for it elsewhere.... Like you when I was younger and single, I went out with no intent of getting into as relationship.. I used and was used in return but it was a mutual thing so no one got hurt, now as Im getting older....... mind you an open relationship with someone of similar tastes and desires could be a good thing too as it would allow you to have both... nothing like wanting your cake and eating it too lol
