Can money buy love?

By the hour... SURE!

 

[Jessica G]

No, it can't. It can buy professions of love, or the pretense of love...but it can't buy the real thing.

 

[KU_doc]

: it cannot; love doesn't have price, on the other hand sex sometimes has a price and on this case can be bought.

 

[Shylah]

it can buy a mutual understanding :great:

Depends on how do you define love. Love is just an illusion, a rush of adrenaline in our bodies. In my opinion the "eternity love" that we talk about it all the time does not exist; it's just an illusion of human mind. Love is just a temporary intense attraction between two souls, and fades by time. What is left after a "long time love", is not love anymore, it's just getting used to each other. In this context, yes, money can potentially easily provide grounds for developing that temporary love, but is not necessary. Depends on what your intentions are and how you use it to show your feelings. Just my opinion.

^^^^^^ this from a guy with a handle "romance" lol (but I agree with you).

I find that many couples stay together after the "love" is gone out of loyalty, committment, honor, but as we see on these boards, they do all that then see SPs on the side.

In the big scheme of things, no, money can't buy you love, in the literal sense. But it most certainly opens the door for it.

For eg:

Even though just about every woman would say, a guy with a DB9, Gallardo, or Rolex watch doesn't mean anything to them, all those things would get her looking. Even in the negative sense. What's that saying? There's no such thing as bad press?

In another way, how many women would not be flattered or interested if a guy asked them out for an italian dinner, then flew her on a private jet to venice?

Or more on the philothrampic end of things. You meet a woman, you find out she's really into saving stray animals, so you build a shelter on a farm in her name and set it up so they can have the run of the fields instead of being locked up in a cage.

I mean, if you read the personal ads on POF etc, you'll see the vast majority of women list a criteria of: gainfully employed, or something. If one has money, no matter what they say, that criteria is at least met. In another way, a woman is interested in two men: one works as a grease monkey, the other drives around in a bentley. One will give her the basic necessities of life, the other can provide her with the lap of luxury, send any kids they have to university, free her up to do what she wants (in terms of work, charities, sports etc). She can have the ability to do what she wants to do as opposed to what she has to do.....

I mean hey, how many sp's have watched "Pretty Woman" and not thought, now that's what I'm talking about!!!!

I read something a while back that love-marriage should have a 5 year contract. With a 5 year option for renewal. Makes sense to me. uch:

 

[headz2ray]

If we're going that route, then there would have to be a bunch of clauses in it, such as: ANY infidelity the party committing the adultery would forfeit all claims to any property, monies, investments etc. because I know some people who, if they knew their partnet HAD to stay with them under contractual law, they'd take every oppurtunity to f every tail in town.

This concept reminds me of a movie (can't remember which) where the father was marrying for the 7th time. The prenupt stated that the wife had to perform oral on him x times a week lol....

Talking about Hugh Hefner :???:

 

[Chris M.]

Who are we kidding? Money can buy anything.

 

[Shay ley ley]

..but money can make things VERY artyleasant, and perhaps more conducive to true :love:

And somewhat to my surprise- it seems you cant even buy it as a role play (see the polls).
