Posted by Stensco21All humans are arbitrary, e.g. Falling in love makes zero sense but we do. I have no idea what makes people arbitrary but we just are.Posted by IsoldeBut how is a person arbitrary

We don't need to love someone in order to procreate, there's definitely primitive biology that dictates in us that they would be good genes to carrier to pass on the DNA but love is definitely not required.
Maybe someone else could help you out on that.

I wouldn't use it to describe a person, though.
I'd just call 'em flighty.
