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.

1 million is not all that much money.
Gimme a billion and I'll never love again (I'll probably be better off and happier too)

So that means you choose your Love insteadly of 1M?

What happen if inflation go crazy and 1B is not enough ? Curiously

Money can't buy happiness, 1 million is quickly spent now days so most people will blow it then finish their lives miserable and lonely. However, finding a soul mate or someone you can confide in is worth more than any amount of money. Money just helps build a minimum of confort around a person's life, but if that person has nothing in his/her life, money won't change nothing.

It's easily spent. I'd buy a house straight out, so no mortgage to pay. No to big, not to small in a nice area, you're looking at 250000. Then a car, reliable that will last a far few years and my dream car (Ford Type II) for leisure, about 50000. My dream holiday, travel to New York, spend a couple of days in the Big Apple, then train to Chicago, hire a convertable vintage muscle car and head on down Route 66, about 15000 (estimated). Complete my music and DVD collection (my biggest treasure), about 20000. Start my business, probably buy a warehouse and convert it into a metal bar, it would have to be big enough to accomodate live gigs, and I'd have a metal shop just next to it, you're looking at about 300000 (but good investment for the future). That's already 635000 spent, it could cost more, to set up the business and solid furniture that will last, 700000 would be spent easily, leaving 300000 only if the business doesn't work. At leat everything would be sorted, house owned, business set up and car purchased, no loans so everything is an investment.

EDIT: None of this is worth while if there's no one to share it with.

Oh well ..i defenitly choosed love !! cause i think 1 million i would spend it in a mounth lol !! but when u love someone , your gf for exp and give her what she need and live just in peace and calm ..thats the big reward and not 1 million ...or even 1 milliard ...
the thing is when there is real love and not ( fake love ) as most people use to pretend nowadays ... there is less problems and less tension in life and more happiness ..1 million might even bring problems hahaha ..who knows a thief would kill you just for it or a jealous freind and so on ...mony is nothing in this life comparing to true emotional facts in the humain been nature !! and unfortunly most those ( humain been ) forgot what is life about and became slaves to the life in iits fake terms ( mony , famous , attention , hate , greed , and so on u might list them after me ...)

Definitely not. True love is priceless, and I would take that over any amount of money in the world.

Nice to see some people still believe in it, this thread is pretty depressing, 1 out 3 would give up love for a million, that's just so wrong.

I've never experienced true love, but I know if I was given the choice between having that, and an infinite amount of money, the love would win, no contest. Some things are beyond any material value, and that is one of them.

I couldn't agree more love, self esteem, happiness and probably a couple of other things are beyond money. Anyway, I see you are new here so welcome and I hope you have a good time surfing through the threads and getting to know the other lunes of the site.

Oh, I'd give up one sided love in a shot. In fact Id pay money if it would guarantee I would never feel that again. lol

I voted one year ago. Still keeping same opinion. Well, this choosing is more like wishing, lol but if a true love that is infinite then not only $1M, I even sacrifice my Death.

I chose the 1M $...what can I say,in the end you always get screwed by love,and the system screws you and takes an amount of your money...so I'm not happy with neither of the choices,but after I gone back and forth with this feeling called love,I would do without(at least for the next couple of years).

I suppose we're talking about unconditional love, its pure and only form, without any sign of using the partner for any possible cause. If it's this kind of love, no money can surpass the feeling, although love is a mistaken value nowadays, one can baptise love under any circumstance according to the path he walks upon and so on. Even if you have money, you may die on a car accident, you may have an uncurable disease, you can't cheat death with money, you may be alone, miserable, with no friends, no partner, or anything of actual value etc. You can't buy love, love just appears and afterwards it's something you feel, deeply, in a way you can't express. You just feel it. Anyway, i voted love, under the aforementioned unconditional contitions

I've seen many cases that your partner plays a role for a long time as you think he(she) really loves you but suddenly you see that he(she) was playing on you. Can you recognize the unconditional love !

Of course there are many of these cases! Role-playing in human relatinos is quite usual these days and has a certain reason, according to person. But i can recognise unconditional love, i have a detector

The detector is your eyes or maybe your intuition. Right? I know I am right!
I can sometimes look into someone's eyes and predict that the person has "bad" intentions. Or sometimes feel that the person is up to no good.
