Do you believe that money can buy someone's love? And if yes, how much do you need? In my personal view, yes maybe because some people choose to marry somebody that has money for them to get out of their less fortunate life. How about you guys what do you think?

money is required in life. but money cannot buy everything. a rich man may get more people to love him. but all those for whom more people love need not be rich. Day to day living itself requires money. if love is proposed by two people -- one with money and one without money--mostly first man may succeed.

i dont think so,but money is no way related to love,it must come from the heart and felt by 2 people comfortably ideally

You are right that love must come from the heart and felt by 2 people comfortably ideally.. But my words are also true. Because in every stage you need money. Just think that to express love or to stay connected u need a phone, or the talk time.And to buy that you need money. To visit to your partner you need vehicle. So to own a vehicle or for travel expenses you need money. To give a single small gift you need money. In every stage you need money. And if you are not able to do that you can lose your love one slowly. So money is very important to get love..

No, I don't think that money can buy love. I think that, when two people live together, on whatever terms, so long as they accept the terms and do not actually hate each other, love can develop. I am thinking of a situation where a man takes a wife whom he does not love (perhaps because she is young and beautiful and he sees her as a social asset and, perhaps, a good bed partner, and nor does she love him, but accepts his proposal because she knows that she can have a comfortable life. After some years of living together, both may find that they have grown so much together that they do actually love each other. You cannot say, in such a case, that 'money bought love', even though it was, perhaps, the man's wealth that brought them together.

It all depends on the individual. Some people love money more than human relations. Such people will definitely look out for people who have more money and those who are more practical. You cannot expect emotions from them. They can only feel and love money!

If they are attracted to money, then maybe they fell in love with the money and not to the person with the money. Love can't be bought; the same with dignity and character. Love is gained. So if a person married someone who can support them, then maybe they are just being practical or maybe they just love the fortunate life. But its different when a rich person threatened someone just so they could be together.

I don't think money can buy love. Love has to be earn and freely given. it's not something that can be bough. Money can buy you happiness, money can buy friends. but they will never be real friends if it was the money.. Happy mylotting!

I don't think money can buy love in the sense of falling in love with the person who is giving the money, as the money is a material thing whereas love of a person is love of their character. However, I do think that a person could mistake falling in love with somebody who gives them money for being in love with the person, when really it's the money that they are loving. Hope that makes sense.

I don't think that money can buy love as such, but I do think that not having money can put a lot of strain on a relationship and this might mean that you don't get on as well because you wouldn't be able to afford to lead the life that you might want to. One of the things that I always think is that money cannot do anything on its own, but it is the way that you choose to use it that will make all the difference at the end of the day. If you choose to use your money to do good things then you are much more likely to get a good result out of it.

No, money can't buy love. A person may marry a rich man, but it doesn't mean that person already loves that rich man. You can never teach your heart to love someone, it learns to love by itself without even forcing it to.

Indirectly, I can say that money can buy love. Because during courtship most guys especially those who have lots of money, likes to give gifts to the their special someone. The one being courted will feel their importance and admire the thoughtfulness that their suitor is showing that's why there's a tendency that eventually she will fall in love with her suitor. But to say that money can buy love directly like purchasing an item at the store, it's not like that. It is indirect. Have a good day!

I strongly believed that money cannot buy love. Because love is priceless and its worth cannot be bought even it counts a millions or billions. :)

Money can buy moments with someone physically but money can't buy a heart that loves even without money. Money can buy ratings but money cannot buy people's love. What money can buy are the things that could not really satisfy. Love is something that is given unselfishly even with out money involve.

For me....money can't buy love, love is unfathomable....its not a material thing that can just be made or brought unto. Love comes from the heart....love made you a human...love can give you different emotion and memories that money can't produce. So for me love can't be bought.

I think those who accepts love from someone with something in life or let us make it short, the rich men then they must be just practical in life. They think that if they will marry the rich one, they would be happier in life and one ambition will be fulfilled and that is to have a good life. For me, money can't buy my love. I do love to be with a person who really my love despite his standing in life. If he is rich and I love him very much,I am very lucky.

You are right. I totally agree with you. Money is much more important. If you have money, you can buy anything you want. Even for getting love, money is very important. Some people here may think i am wrong. But if you think logically, i am absolutely right. And I can prove it..

for me it depends to the person. Some people don't want to have miserable life, that's why sometimes they easily fall in love to the person who can give them better or good life.
