Humans live like 100 years while elves live for thousands of years, isn't that reason alone not to do it and instead go for elven men?

its come from fetish, and the tolkien thing, forbidden love, so many differences, etc
in wow just the windrunners i think, in other media there is a lot.
Aragorn was also a Dúnedain, he lived way longer than the average man and also heir of the throne, again, he was a forbidden love to her, was more "manly" than the elves, she had her preferencesThere probably is an explanation what happened to Arwen when she gives up her (relative) immortality? Like..she then only lives as long as a human would from then on? (Also probably an explanation how you give it up )
All elf males are soo gay
I've read somewhere that humans are less rigid and less prideful.
The Alliance gets the Horde's most popular race. The Horde should get the Alliance's most popular race in return. Alteraci Humans for the Horde!

Not entirely certain what universe this was from, but I remember that in one universe the appeal was that humans were more fertile. Elves were long-lived, so nature made sure that they wouldn't birth too many children by lowering their fertility. 1 or 2 kids in 1000 years was enough. This supposedly also made them less excitable around sex and around life in general. On the other end of the spectrum, humans were rather short-lived, so they lived more vicariously and more emotionally. They also had much higher fertility, so for the elves that had a desire to have children it was more realistic to be together with humans.
Again, not sure what universe this was from, but that's how an abundance of half-elves was explained there.
Imagine you are a writter. You create this awesome human male character that may or may not look like you or share some of your ideals - whatever, you see some of yourself in him.
What do you do next?
You give him a hot elf girlfriend, of course!
You mean three elves that are sisters, and thus share the same gimmick theme? A whopping total of THREE ELVES?????
Clickbait title.
The Void. A force of infinite hunger. Its whispers have broken the will of dragons... and lured even the titans' own children into madness. Sages and scholars fear the Void. But we understand a truth they do not. That the Void is a power to be harnessed... to be bent by a will strong enough to command it. The Void has shaped us... changed us. But you will become its master. Wield the shadows as a weapon to save our world... and defend the Alliance!
That's what is the best. When elf is bored, she doesn't need to go for divorce. Time will do all work for her.

I have always thought that "dying of broken heart" is an euphemism for suicide in literature.

Vereesa doesn't seem independent.
For the elf, it's like having a pet dog. They can cherish the time they spend together, but eventually have them put down.

That's interesting. Then again, Tolkien was a devout Christian, and his elves were basically perfect christians as well (only one mate for life, they only have intercourse for reproductive reasons and lose interest in sex after they have children). And considering suicide is a mortal sin in christianity, it doesn't seem likely.
"Take the time to sit down and talk with your adversaries. You will learn something, and they will learn something from you. When two enemies are talking, they are not fighting. It's when the talking ceases that the ground becomes fertile for violence. So keep the conversation going."

The way it was told to me implied it to be literal. Specifically, I was told elves either are slain in battle, travel to the gray havens, or die of a broken heart.
That list lead me to believe it's not just euphemism. I don't know for sure because the answer, if there is one, is probably in the Silmarillion, and that's not something I ever intend to read.
