I was reading a magazine while waiting for lunch today, and this question arose, with results saying 57% said yes and 43% no. I mean usually we would see people saying no, as most regard love as one of the most important factors of life, but these results were pretty close, meaning, there are obviously alot of people out there who will speak their mind and take the cash.

Really, there is not right or wrong answer yes? I mean it depends entirely on the individual, love might not mean alot to them, or they havent felt it as much as others, and a million dollars could be far more beneficial to them, there are alot of factors that vary.

I would just like to see how close the results are here.

EDIT: I meant the love between two partners, not the love of family, pets or other objects.

I would.

In harsh economic times, having my money is important, plus 'love' [whatever that is] can be bought

Look at footballers, they can have any woman they want, I wonder why...

No. If I had a million 'spare' and I had a lovely lady who I was in love with then I'll keep the woman.

As long as I don't believe in love, well, I would accept a million dollars.

I'll accept the money and when everything is normal I'll run away with my love to another country and begin a great life with my love and those 1 million dollars!!!!

I don't know. Maybe I'm hopeless romantic, but I hope there's a true love out there, that doesn't fade in time. For that kind of love, I wouldn't accept.

I don't need such a lot of money, besides, it's impossible to "earn" love.

Ah, you're talking about prostitutes. Women who do stuff for money

As for the subject itself, I'd rather have love than money. I haven't had a million dollars and I've not noticed anything wrong with that. I've had love, lost it and it sucked, so I'd rather not lose it again.

Money is only as stable as the economy, it amounts to toilet paper if the economy has a serious collapse. Proper love is only stopped by death.

Apart from that, a million dollars is not that much money anymore. Converting it to euro's will leave me with only 800.000 euro's and with that i can barely get a big house here with a proper car. I can't even quit my job and shit like that.

I wish it could be true, but unfortunatyly it sint and saying no you save money 10 pounds 100 pounds even mor ein bars + codnoms(have no clue how much they cost there), so if you count all money what you saved maybe in end of life there's be a million

I have been married and dating the same women for 5 years now. I would NOT do it. No need to. Money is not that important. I make enough to keep me and my family happy.

I find the concept of love to be quite stupid. Of course I'd give it up for one million dollars.

The key arguments to the answer are simple: either you believe in love, or not; either you need the money, or not. I personally may be too idealistic if it comes to love but I'll definitely keep on searching for it as one aspect of the so-called meaning of life. So, simply said: No, I would not accept 1 million dollar to give up love.

No, the question is actually not simple at all. My personal value system consists of love, too. At first, 1 million dollars may seem like a hell of a lot money to most people. However, these bucks could easily be gone by just buying, for example, some house and a car. : (Not to mention most people would not ever think of investing the money into some business.)

If I've got the topic question right, accepting the money gives you no option to experience love afterwards. If things would be that way for me - well, then why the heck would I ever accept? I must be, like, totally broke in order to give up love. For many, such a deal could be a matter of life and death but that's certainly not my case. So, I'd rather have an average month salary than live with that damn 1 million dollars and still feel totally miserable and left alone.

I don't really believe in love, mainly because I haven't experienced it yet. Also I'd rather come up with the money myself without having to give up anything, because that would be pathetic and undignified. So no, I'm not that much of a money whore.

^^ Hey, no cheating allowed! lol


I would give away 1 million if I had it to experience true love.

I think the fact that I have forever been denied that or even anything close to resembling that, makes me realise very acutely just how precious and valuable true love is. And it's more valuable than any amount of money in the world.

I wouldn't exchange my girlfriend nor my little girl for any ammount of money. True uncondional love does exist and it's a beautifull thing. When love is reflected in your daily actions, the ways partners still looks at each others even after 50 years of living together... it's something to look up to.

I've given up love for video games so of course I'd take the million

But as mentioned in the first post, the question in itself doesn't mean anything since it all depends on the interviewee's experience with "love".



EDIT: Ouch did I really reply to a thread from 2007! Damn nostalgia... let's get back to the Neo Geo instead.
