What is love and why would a sociopath be incapable of experiencing it

adding value here:

Chapo: Is love more than the desire to spend the rest of your life with a person?

Chapo: Even if it is

Chapo: How can someone say that it's impossible for a human being to love

Chapo: That's obscene

Chapo: It might be unlikely or uncommon for certain types

Because society just like to label things as crazy or weird that don't meet there standards...if they found out sociopaths could love and everyone is okay with it then i gaurantee we would be "normal" in societies eyes. Thisnis why i hate "normal" people...

I agree. Just because it happens doesn't mean it happens everytime.
I don't know about reliable information or evidence saying otherwise, only some popular inductive fallacies.

If I can emulate all the other bullshit people do, why the fuck would love be different? Anyone saying a sociopath can't love just got tricked into believing she (most likely) was loved and then got taken advantage of. Just because it happens doesn't mean it happens to every relationship with a sociopath.

The fact that we choose to love make our feelings truer imo. They're just slaves to their feelings, we choose to risk it all willingly, they don't.

Anyways,
Its hard to say if a sociopath can experience love, without actually defining it.

Under some definitions it would be impossible. I think some people would actually be incapable. But most people, even AsPD, NPD, BPD, Psychopaths, etc, are capable of experiencing an attachment to someone to an extend that can be considered at least borderline love. However whether thats enough for the other partner, that is different. It also depends on how you manifest said attachment.

The way i understand it, love is connected to giving a fuck about the other person and ignoring what you want, to a reasonable extend, to make the other feel good. Most PD's have a problem with reason, so you can see how this will fail.
