$1,000,000 or love with your most perfectly conceivable woman/man??

[LookMomImFlying]

I've always asked people this question. I figure if I could have the perfect, apple-of-my-eye-and-soul woman, and she loved me like I loved her, everything else would work itself out. So I would take love. We'd be an unstoppable team. The $1 million could buy you a lot of dates and other distractions and pleasures though. What would you do?

 

[millefeui]

Money, but none of the options interest me that much.

 

[higashikata_panos]

Love ofc ... fuck money for all i care . Money is the last thing i want if i had someone that loves me and i love her the same.

 

[Sonnenblume]

money, no question.

 

[charcoalcat]

I'll take 500k and a semi-perfect partner.

 

[Kfoe!12]

I don't need the money and having the best partner ever is just going to make it hurt even more, it's more of a dilemma to me.

 

[Fylobatica]

I've tried to love somebody that I really cared for, but honestly it's exhausting. I'm not that creative to come up with something new to do together every day. I guess I'd take the money

Ditto, for me, love can only be temporary. Eventually, I'll get sick of them or they'll get sick of me. And then there's that whole unpleasant watching each other decay and die thing. No thanks. I used to say I wanted a forever relationship but, really, I can't stand the thought. I think I just use the hope of love as another distraction from the fact I don't want to be on this planet.

You guys have proven that love has gone the path of the dinosaur. :( Guess I'm just an old fashioned, obsolete, not-very-cool guy who wants one woman and will live and die with her through 60+ years of marriage, arguments, laughs, memories, growing old, etc. I make good $$ at my job and am on the verge of suicide. Guess the concept of "til death do us part" is just fantasy these days. Oh well, I'll be dead soon anyway. Fuck money!!!

 

[Sonnenblume]

My love bubble burst when I heard what happened to Final Exit Network member, Frank Kavenaugh and his wife. She was in horrific pain and dying in a nursing home so he shot her and then himself, so she wouldn't have to suffer anymore. He was one of the kindest men I've ever met, if anyone deserved a decent ending it was he and his wife. Love is tragedy, more often than not.

 

[deflagrat]

Asperger here. Money, I would be an unhappy but rich gamer until I die from old age. That's precisely the problem, one day money will run out and I will be forced to kill myself.

 

[FullFat]

Money. I know the love wouldn't last. Hopefully, if I
played my cards right, the money would. Besides, if I CTB on time, that would mean money leftover for family. $$$ is a win-win.

I kind of wish such a site existed. I heard about one for the mentally ill in a Cracked.com article, but the site didn't look well-maintained.

well, yah. cuz mentally ill. ;)

 

[Neo-Schopenhauerian]

I would take the money and donate it to the most effective charity I could find. I am convicted to a renunciation of life.

 

[MisarableCock]

i would take the money, of course.
i stay away from human relationships for my best interest

 

[ImNotBatman]

Love, I already met my soulmate.
She didn't.

 

[Tiredman]

I'd take the money, buy a sarco and drift off into whatever comes next (If anything at all)

 

[Phantom]

I'd take money. I don't feel that love is a pressing matter for me. Honestly I'm not even interested. It'll come if it does, it won't come if it won't. My interest will follow if something comes up.

However money is always a pressing matter; you have to get your stuff fixed, you have to get new stuff (electronics,hobby stuff, maybe some N or rope some day), afford food, have a place to live in. Having a million dollars would change my focus on life quite a lot, and although still looking to be successful, I wouldn't have to be worried if success does not come.

I could focus on things I like, if I still like anything. I could finish all the projects I have lying around, if the strength to do so was to come. I'd have so much better chances at life.

 

[DF90]

Love.

 

[dhk96]

My most perfectly conceivable woman would be an anime waifu (lol) so...money, it is.

Jokes aside, I wouldn't want to drag someone I love down by being in a relationship with them. Relationships are built on mutual support. How can I take care of someone else when I can't even take care of myself? Not only in a financial sense. I wouldn't be able to mentally support/shoulder burdens of my partner through rough times because I can barely keep myself from falling apart. Having a responsibility over others works for some people but not for me sadly.

 

[Tiburcio]

Money would solve most part of my problems, and love would be an extra difficulty if one day I decide killing myself. Also, money is more durable than love. Maybe if this would be a happy, fantastic world love should be a good option but... Mother of good look around and look how every relationship has a bad ending. It can't be more decadent.

 

[BellaKAT]

i would want my soulmate, i don't need a lot of friends or fancy things, i figure if i found that person i could handle living

 

[never getting better]

Money.

I'd buy a small flat for $40,000 or as little as possible, preferably in a hot climate, move and live the rest of my life with just the essentials to survive. As long as you don't blow the money it's enough. No pressure to do anything. I would use my spare time for volunteering and charity work. I would help as many people as I can, when I feel comfortable enough to do so.

 

[Squidward]

I'd inevitably hurt them, so I'd take the money and try to minimize the harm of my existence.

That actually gave me the first honest laugh i had for as ling as i can remember sign me up. Go on a date play normal tjen back to mine or her place and let the demons out and ending up giving eachother the final push. Sounds interesting

 

[NotTheStatusQuo]

Money. I don't believe in love.

 

[Mess]

I have a weird romantic orientation, i'm in the aromantic spectrum, so it would be a miracle for me to love someone forever, i'll definitely chose it, seems to be a good experience
