For love or money? Who would you rather be with?
- a man who I love deeply, but doesn't look good "on paper"
- a man who looks good "on paper" yet I don't love deeply- I simply care for him

Absolutely and 100% and without a slightest doubt: ALL FOR LOVE. Money? *I dont care about the money - money cant buy me LOVE* :)!
Rocklady, (wink)
To me, this is, to a point, a non-question, for lack of a better expression. I am amazed that some people actually chose money, or 'good on paper' over love. I thought it would be a unanimous 100% vote, honest. Money can buy a certain amount of comfort (and yes, cars houses clothes restaurants etc etc are in essense just that - a certain amount of comfort). I don't give a flying f about comfort if I am left to 'enjoy' (or rather, suffer) it with a person I do not love. End of story.

Personally, I think it's naive to think that love is enough.
I'd far rather be with a rich man I can respect and care for than with a poor man who I may love passionately, but we can't make rent. Wouldn't take long for the love to die.
Why do you think money is the number one reason for divorce in the US?
"Is he a high school drop out who can't hold onto a job and likes to smoke pot all day long? I don't think love alone can make that relationship work."
LOL
'...What the love vs. money means to me is, I'd rather be with a man I love who maybe doesn't make a ton of money, and maybe we won't be able to afford our own home, but as long as we have a roof over our heads, we will make it a happy home'
Totally agree with you Stacey. This is pretty much what I was trying to say in my reply to Sisfox, just phrased it differently.
I think it comes down to the interpretation of the questions, too.

Since the question said "care for", this perspective never crossed my mind. Going to bed with someone I "care for" as opposed to "love deeply" - well, it certainly wouldn't make my die and cringe inside. In fact, I've had both kinds of relationships, and found a different kind of fulfillment from both.
It's as easy to love a rich man as a poor man, so why accept poor? LOL

Sounds like those cheesy Harlequine novels my mom's addicted to. I've read a few, and they've always infuriated me - WHAT is attractive about the overbearing men they all seem to feature? LOL
'....Going to bed with someone I "care for" as opposed to "love deeply" - well, it certainly wouldn't make me die and cringe inside'..
Oh my goodness, this I find almost impossible to fathom. Are you seriously saying that you would be more than happy to be intimate with someone you feel absolutely no physical attraction for whatsoever, zero lust or desire for - that a feeling of respect and care, the sort that you may have for your father, or an old friend - would be enough? How is that possible? Please tell me - I must be some kind of a freak..
'...It's as easy to love a rich man as a poor man, so why accept poor? LOL'
I never wanted or needed 'rich', and never will. Therefore I have never looked for it. All I have ever wanted all my life is to feel IT, and as I said, in real life in 2007, it is either or. I choose poor.

Why don't you re-read my ENTIRE post for comprehension before you try to impose some off the wall interpretation on selective parts of it?

Goody. One less in the competition for the rich ones. LOL
