The infamous words of John Lee Hooker:

Your love gimme such a thrill,
But your lovin' don' t pay my bills
I need some money, need some money
Oh, yeah, what I want

i married 4 love & we were very poor! we scrimped & scraped & had £9.50 sun caravan holidays!! but sex & love was free, we had lots of that.

i married someone that was poor, and we've been married for years, and i don't regret marrying him at all. we've struggled with finances througout our marriage. but it has brought us closer together, and made our marriage stronger. for some people this could tear their marriage/relationship apart. but for us it made our marriage stronger because we only had ourselves to build up, everything we have now, is because we worked hard for it.

i have known people that have married for money, and they are still together, so i guess it can work? if i hadn't met my spouse, i don't know what i would of done? money is helpful, but if there isn't trust, love, or respect in the mix, it won't last.

Exactly!

Marriage, or friendship for that matter, is about how you deal with the challenges of life as a team.

If you don't share that love, the values and laughter, than it doesn't matter if you have money or not. It's the bond that will get you through rich or poor times.

Love and friendship is not about money at all. And it will never be.

If it is; it's not true love nor true friendship.

If the rich one does iniate to support the poor one, or if the poor one does not warn the rich one for it's bloated views'then the friendship isn't worth even 1 dollar!

Yep. Love is not about money.

Love is about the team of two people, having fun together, while life is trowing random trouble or luck at them.

this is lovely & very true.

If you marry for money, don't get mad when your spouse cheats on yo' ass!

Well, when you marry for love and get cheated on, it hurts 1,000 times worse.

No, but apprarently money (financial security/independance) does make people more attractive. Never experienced this myself though.

Wait-!

Do you mean that you have money and haven't been considered more attractive, or that you have met people with money and didn't find THEM more attractive?

The latter.

I can relate to that.

Although...I've yet to see a fugly woman in a Ferrarri or Lamborghini...so...

Yes. i did it for free and still regret it.

Would you consider dating or marrying someone who didn't exactly "give you butterflies" so that you could have a comfortable life?

Is being with someone for financial reasons something that you could live with?

What if someone close to you chose to?

I've had the opportunity, twice, so yes, I did consider it. He was nice and I loved him on many levels, but dude had a micropenis. I couldn't do it...I just couldn't do it. I would have cheated like a mofo....

Oprah damn Winfrey.

No.

One of my exes was super rich and damn near drove me crazy.

Her reality was NOT reality 4 the rest of the planet.

I actually know a millionaire and the whole world revolves around her. No thank you.

Depends how much money, "Comfortable" money or "Never having to do a damn thing in your life ever again" money.

Do I also have have to make love to the dude if he ugly?

Decisions.

Even if I were to marry a rich woman that wants to be my "sugar mama", I would still request a pre-nup in advance AND I would still have a job.

In that case, WHY BOTHER?

I agree.....

Money may not buy happiness...but poverty sure brings misery!

If I was attacted to the man, absolutely. If not, no way

If I ever get married in this lifetime I hope that I am totally honest with myself and the other person as to why I am marrying them.

I don't think it's the "why" that is the problem but the decieving oneself and others as to the truth that is the real problem.

No one marries poor men over 70 but a wealthy man over 70 can still catch a woman less than half is age. All of these women claim that it is only for love. Come on now!!!
