Can Money Buy Love? (If So, What Would Buy Yours)

So, I got into a conversation with a buncha jackasses the other day... Can dolla dolla billz yall buy love?

I disagree...Beatles.

So, here we are, you and I. Me, a young, sexually virile man, you....a 57 year old Spanish cleaning lady named Fefehumhum, who constantly demands more lemon pledge.

I know everyone has an opinion on how money and love go together. I would like to hear what you think.

In the conversation I was having, I boldly stated if any girl, between the ages of 18-45 bought me a Ferrari 458 Italia (in the color of my choosing, or an equally, amazing gift) I would love them, with all my heart. I believe love is an emotion that can be bought.


I added the "girl" part just now.

So, what I'm asking you, is do you think love can be bought.

I'm not talking about sex, it's obvious sex can be bought...every mother fucking person on this planet has a number. Some are high, some are low. Some would see us blowing men in clown suits, dating girls with ugly shoes or even having sex with Mitt Romney.

TL;DR

Can money buy love, if so...how much for your love.

I mean real love...could you love someone for money?

I would love for the Ferrari too.

But by love, I mean pretend to love.

I don't think I could actually love a chick just because she bought me stuff. The best she could hope for is that her purchases keep me around her more than I would otherwise be, which gives her a shot to try to hook me with personality and all that. Which might happen, because, you know, if you're fucking someone a lot and hanging around them a lot you start to grow some feelings usually. But I'm a little cyborg-ish and have some weird hang-ups, so probably not me.

So, most girls I wouldn't otherwise like can't buy my love, but for most people I think they could be bought.

Yeah, that was the flipside to my opinion. People went so far as to say I had no idea what love felt like.

To which I replied, love is a very fickle, fleeting emotion. I'm not saying I would love someone forever...but I would certainly love them.

It turned into a whole, massive thing. People got pretty heated, and girls seemed to have trouble differentiating sex and love, which was lulz in itself.

Yes money can buy love, but you still can't trust a golddigger.

Of course you can...just make sure you have lots of money and don't marry them.

I voted no...yeah, big surprise right?

I think there are different types of love. You can love your brother, love your dog, love your parents, love a spouse, and love chocolate. But real, true, romantic, I-would-die-for-you-love....it can't be bought.

But..what if he had like, unlimited credits bb.

I have no idea what you're talking about Sir. I suggest you go peddle your wares somewhere else.

What EL said pretty much sums it up, money can buy lots of things but love aint one of them...

Even if you consider love as just an emotion, emotions can't be bought. Well maybe joy because it's easy to make someone glad (not happy) by giving him money ^^ but that's it. As EL said, you can pretend to love but money can't directly buy it.

Then you'll be very very glad / free / whatever money represents in your life, but not in love.

So, same answer that the question "does money make happiness" : nope

also. i agree with SP on this. i can have love for you, my new awesome fucking car, and your penis (..) but that doesnt mean i'll be in love with you. and i definitely dont think any relationship can be built on money alone, not for any extended period of time.

i think appreciation rather than love is the word that comes to my mind. i would appreciate you (and your penis, most likely) and the money youve given me or spent on me because i understand the value of a dollar.

i also think theres something to be said about the trust comment. its hard to build any kind of relationship when you're always wondering if the other person would cut off the thing of value the other person is bringing to the table - would there still be love and affection? both sex and money would be of value, if thats the situation we're talking about.

no

@FeeFs,

So let me pose this question.


So we've kind of agreed that money can't buy love, but it can maybe buy affection...and maybe even some kind of relationship.

So can that affection...that relationship turn into love over time?

Weve proven nothing but chicks are liars.

Some men too.



@fefe: I Lold pretty hard.

No money can't ,there is not the same tingle there, as if when ur in love.
Hopefully lm rite.

Yeah, that's basically what my long-ass answer was.

That money puts you around them a lot, and likely in sexual situations because, you know, that's what they're spending the money for. And so, being around someone a lot, and being in sexual situations with that person tends to shape your opinion of them more than first looks do, so yeah, I think a not-small-percentage of the time it would turn into something more with most people.

I'm sure if I was bought that car, for a minute or so, I'd love whoever bought it me, but it wouldn't be the tingle, pit of your stomach, can't get you off my mind, WHY WON'T SHE CALL!, type of love.....



That sort of love I think needs emotions, an stuff.


Gold diggers offer fake love, however it's all in the eye of the beholder. If someone says they love you, and does stuff for you, and a rich dude showers them with stuff, whose to say the rich dude doesn't know it's love?

love paddys reply

Yeah, Paddy is consistently pretty awesome.
