Can you buy love?
I say yes.
In the long run, I think money can buy you love.
Anyone care to disagree so I can explain?

Monetary love, obviously.
If you are unhappy, money can not change this. If you are unhappy love cannot change this.
So given that, if you are unhappy, money cannot buy you love.
even a beatles

For the sake of the argument lets assume the person is relativelyy happy.
But yeah.. thats a rabbit hole I don't want to go down.

I am sure many people would like to know why they are unhappy. Originally Posted by Carôusoul

That brings us inevitably onto the question of how long does any love last. Is true love momentary? Originally Posted by Howie

One theory of attraction states that the man wants a young woman capable of having many children where as the woman wants a strong man to support her.
So in a way and if this theory is true, men are shallow and women are gold diggers.
Also unconsciously women go for the man with a higher pay check.

Anyway one of the reasons I broke up with my last boyfriend is because he started to make a lot of money and started buying things all over the place, and I felt that he became too materialistic.
La la la.

Most women are very romantically attracted to power.
Money is power.
THE ENDHow do you know you are not dreaming right now?

You can buy excorts. So you can buy Sex. Not to be confused with Love off course. And a fortune will surely get you a whole fanclub of greedy, materialistic women. But money will defenitively not bring you True love. Originally Posted by Carôusoul

Same goes for love. Money might get you alot of greedy, self-centered, materialistic woman, but non of them actually care for you or love you. Those that will stick to you disguised as "friends" or even "lovers" are only fond of you because of your money. So they're not fond of you at all.
If a woman declines your offer of love on basis of your financial situation she wasn't looking for Love anyways.

It could possible buy YOU love, but it can't cause someone else to love you. You could get who you wanted, and love them, but they might just want you for the money. If they don't just want you for the money, then it's true love and it wasn't because of the money.... If any of that makes sense.

No, you can't buy it. It's more like a subscription.

Damn, I had this massive reply written out, and then stupid IE crashed, so will summerise what I think.
I personally think that money can buy you love, but the wrong type. Some people seem to have the preconceived ideas that money can buy you happyness, and wealth is an important prerequisite to any solid foundation when building a relationship with someone. But I think providing you have eachother, then what should money matter? Of course you need financial security, but I assume when you say money, you mean a lot of it?lol.
That being said, different people have different ideas about what they want from a relationship, and what they need as a person in a relationship, and if money just as important to someone as stability, honesty, trust, should we really be the ones to question that?
