Well lol the thing is if you think about it..Living by yourself in apartment..It just cost more on rent, electric bills, water bills etc. It's nice and big but I really don't need that much space. Plus I save alot of money on it.

But I guess I'll get a small house with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.

100k is peanuts to anyone slightly successor.

Should make it like 1 million. Life changing, but not enough to set you up for life.

the cheapskate millionaire, i like it
Haha

a better question would be like, true love or $100k in your account
Easy answer: 100K

Why? True Love? Freaking going to burn through your wallet pretty fast and it'll be more then losing 100K in the long run plus what if her/your parents/family doesn't approve? That's trouble right there! What about her/your friends? F that too! so many factors! Money is another issue too with true love like this:

What if she's that money spending girl? Goddamm and say goodbye to your hard earning cash son! You guys are getting marry? Congrats! Now see the total cost of your wedding? She might wanna have that nice white dress, fancy *** ring and a nice dinner/lunch. You might even have to pay for the plane trip for your/her parents for the wedding. You guys are going to have a kid together? Congrats and get *****. Why? Child support, milk, baby food, clothes, diapers (better get those huggie brand too while you're at it), life insurances etc. As your kid grows up and you gotta go to work...Guess what? Gotta pay for a babysitter or Daycare center if needed or have your/her parents live with you guys together to look after the little troublemaker. Ages from 5-18..What if your kid got a broken arm? Oops sorry that's another bill you guys have to pay. You gotta pay for tutors too if your kid needs help with his school work. Toys, clothes and other needs! Better buy them to keep them happy. Cars! When they get their own drive license and what if they crash it? What if your kid wanna play sports as well? Better get them the gears and such! Your kid is graduating out of high school? Congrats and sucks that you (If you're that kind of parents) might have to pay for their college/university intution! <--We all should know how's that going!

This is going to be a huge dent in your future...Unless you and your love have a great job then this shouldn't be a issue.

So much crap you and your true love might have to deal with down the line.


With 100K, if you're smart with it, you invest in the stock market, gamble (Which I highly don't recommend) start a business, or just save it. Easy and simple.

if it's really "true love" as opposed to the weird stipulations that mio put in (you wake up engaged to someone? kinda creepy), i'd think very hard about taking that path

i mean the kind of love where you spend the next 60 years together and never once regret it, not just she's mad hot and you bang it out for a few months but then you fizzle

well you guys are talking about an idealized version of love that simply does not exist.

love is really more like your relationship with your mother (if you are a male) or your father (if you are a female)

success attracts love anyway so why wouldn't you take the money? society has led people to believe they need a significant other to be happy. not true. maslow's hierarchy of needs is all you need. very often the love you find w/ someone else is the love you never find in yourself. don't make that mistake.

i think it's pretty hard for all us teens and twenty-somethings to say that that notion of true love doesn't exist

but anyway, if it doesn't exist, then it's not on the table and there's no decision to be made

I think saying "success attracts love" is almost right, but the idea of success is too objective for this to work.

"Ability to provide attracts love" would be a more accurate statement me thinks.

Age old question...what is love?

what is 'true love'? what are you referring to?

obviously i know what you're getting at but it's a lot easier once we start speaking the same language

well having money doesn't mean that you're incapable of love. From my idealized version of love, it takes less effort to get than $500 million. Plus love isn't really necessary for having a comfortable life whereas money is. Also you can do a lot more good for people and the world if you have money. Definitely the money.

love is constant work so who cares if you're in love with someone right now? you have to work your *** off to keep that passion two, five years down the road.

but by then i'll be investing my millions and turning it into billions.

not picking the money is just selfish. there is so much good i plan to do when i'm a millionaire.
i feel like this is one of those things that comedians say where youre like "wtf is he serious" then you start laughing because you realize its true lol

it's going to vary too much so i mean if i were to pose the question, it would be simply having "the perfect relationship", by whatever standards that the answerer wants to interpret it

I don't think the debate is about whether yours or my ideals exist or not; it's about how that ideal compares to being filthy rich

I'm not even going to lie

I'd dive on filthy rich

edit: FIFTY MILLION!? I THOUGHT IT WAS LIKE ONE MILLION. OH MY GOD. NO WEIRD DRAWBACK LIKE A MIGRAINE FOR A YEAR BEFORE GETTING IT OR GETTING SOME LOW GRADE CANCER OR WHATEVER?! JUST 50 MILLION?!!? SCREW LOVE! MONEY. MONEY MONEY MONEY!!!!

LOL 50 million dollars what a horrible question

if it was like, 5k or less, I'd take the "love" (but I'd be doing it for the nookie)

I should definitely rephrase this. Would you rather have...


1) 10 million dollars
OR
2) True love (i.e. the closest thing to a "perfect relationship" that is humanly possible, aka "happily ever after", with whomever you want)

i'd like to imagine that if you chose love, you would dream up a girl that looks an awful lot like jennifer love hewitt and IS your type

because if you could just change someone's personality, why wouldn't you just pick true love with someone mad rich and get both worlds

if the wealth is the driving factor behind your choice of woman then i'm pretty sure that's just as telling about your tendencies as if you had straight up chosen the money

most people pick mates similar to themselves. so if i'm a 7 on the attractive scale i'ma prob get with a 7 or 7.5. but if i pick a 10 like hewitt, ur actually just throwing another monkey wrench into things and it'll only make things harder cuz of ego / jealousy / etc

Money wins 9-4... you heartless mother****ers



While we're on the topic of women, let's get the common, cliche one out of the way: @$$ or t!ts?

I've always had a hard time with this question. Are we talkin about a girl that has no a$$ and excellent t!ts compared to the contrary? or just a girl that has meh in one category but is a 10 in the other?

Yeah. If you had to decide on one (let's say there's two girls in front of you ready to bone, one with a nice @$$ and relatively flat rack, the other with a nice rack and a relatively flat @$$) would you take the one with the nice @$$, or the one with the nice t!ts?
