What is love really???...mutual understandings between two fools who fail to realize that eventually such glossy venier of affection will wear thin. Money will be there for you, never question you and always take care of your every need.
il agree with sarg. love will always piss in your face. money would piss on you, if it could, but it cant. so il go with money. besides, loves alot easier to get than money. and i dont mean sex. all you have to do is know how to twist these pathetic human's emotions. all you have to know how to do is lie. and love is easier to get when you have money. money is harder to get when you have love. so logicaly anyone would choose money.
one thing that is kinda funny is that if you know love then you know that those who choose money over love have never known love the other is that most people sell themselfs off to money before they get to experience love so they effectively prostitute their possibility of love, for money, sometimes when they get older they try to find it which ofcoarse can be a long process love is a two way experience so to think you can get love by manipulating someone is about as clear a statement as possible that you do not know what love is sex is completely different to love money is completely different to both you can buy sex with money but the quality of sex that you would get is nothing like good sex the most relavant thing that relates to such issues is emotional maturity with that you may have a better chance at finding love and having good sex along the way groove on all Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Bollocks. I've been in love, and I've been poor. The worst thing in life is when both happen at the same time, and you have somebody who loves you that you can't provide for. Choosing love instead of money is asking to be put that relationship in stress. In this hypothetical situation, I'd be single, stress free and loaded, rather than experiencing guilt that I was putting someone who loved me through a shit time.
True love means being totally honest about what you say and do with the one you are with without worrying about being taken advantage of.
A relationship has many facets, and some facets are financial. Joint mortgages, being one. Your reply is slightly badly aimed, but interesting. I guess you were asking why an employed person should have to provide for their loved one. But you didn't specify employed. So to flip your question over, why should an employed partner provide for me when I'm unemployed? Love, duty, responsibility, all of those. All of those are two way streets. I have an obligation to my partner, whatever my employment status. Now love is great, but it doesn't pay the bills. The thing that splits alot of couples up, is actually financial woe, so it isn't really a choice between love and money, lack of one, often leads to a stressing of the other. Needless to say, during the recession 15 years ago, I was unemployed for a while. Needless to say, I'm no longer with the partner I was then.
I think that it should be noted that while adversity breaks up some couples it also brings others into a closer relationship. Perhaps it has something to do with the nature of true love.
phlogistician let me guess your example of love and also a relationship as you seem to mix the two together that only a person who does not know love would you would think that love is two people mutualy using each other for their own goals? money has nothing to do with love just to let you in on a secret... you seem to think that you can only buy love by giving gifts to your partner very sad very common so you are not alone in that theory once you get into finacial difficulty as candy put it .... you find out how strong your relationship is although that does not mean you have true love or even love just a strong relationship that might be held together because of mutul finacial entrapment if you are party to the concept that women should marry off to money then you would obviousely rebuke this claim as the women would leave you.. and again that would not be love ohh and just another little thingey... duty honour respect of others these are qualities that are required to be able to love ... yes but they themself do not have actions that make love the feeling of societal presure to provide certain material goods for your partner is quite sad if you speak of honour i would ask you this what fighting skills have you learnt and practice to protect from harm the one you supposedly use to love suggesting that you no longer love them... which ofcoarse means you were not in love with them if you are now, out of love with them let me guess you paid your taxes? how noble (extreem sarcasim) groove on Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
money and love right now i have none of one of them and very little of the other. i have never had one and never had much of the other. money and love... love and money... if the kind of love you seem to be portraying could truely exist i would gladly give up what little money i have for it. i would gladly give up alot for it actualy.... but heres the thing... it doesnt exist. i dont have much, if any, experiance with 'love'. perhaps with experience i will find that it is better than money. but from what ive seen money is the one you can count on, the one who will help you out when you need it, the one who wont leave, the one who wont hurt you. however a lack of it is very painfull wheras a lack of love is no harm at all.
Ripleofdeath. Bollocks. I don't know where to start with your post, but it's wrong in it's entirety. Maybe it's just that you haven't experienced enough? I guess that's it, that you are unable to think outside of your own experiences.
What say you if I introduce a new def here? (thanks to a plagiarism thread) Money: Dollars, Yens, Euros, whatever you call it Love: Love of cash, love of money, love of wealth, whatever you call it..... Shoot me Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Money and/or Love? Are they mutually exclusive? I don’t think so. In fact, quite the opposite is true – to some extent, of course. But trust me – being in poverty usually means also being lonely. Money can’t buy love – directly. But money can “buy“ you a status, independence, self-confidence – very important thing when you seek “love”. On the other hand – what is “love” – that’s why quotas. Personally, I do not think love is a relationship. In my opinion, love is a state of mind, a belief, a way, a lifestyle. Love starts from within. You do not need to meet attractive person of opposite/same sex (depends of one’s preference) to find this love. Actually the best way how to search for it is solitude. Once you have it, it is not a big problem to find somebody to share it. This is love as a philosophical category. With this kind of love the question about love and money is irrelevant. With this love money does not matter. You can have them or have not, the love is the same. Love as a relationship – well, not bad, but, in most cases, it never last long. So if I have to choose between this kind of temporary, incomplete love and money, I would go for money – but the correct question here is indeed – how much money?
