Answer 1

Money CAN buy love????? Yikes, that's the topic?

Are you on the PRO or CON side of this debate? If you're on the PRO side, good luck you will need it! There's not a whole lot of good support for the idea that money can buy love, but I will try to come up with an idea or two for you:

You can buy a pet -- a kitten or a puppy for example. And, if you treat your pet well, it will love you in return. So there's an example of money buying you love.

I'm stumped. I cannot come up with one other valid argument for the proposition that money can buy love.

Answer 2

I dont agree with the topic but for arguements sake here's a few things that might help. Can love support a family? can love help your marriage when your husband and wife is wasting all the money on some things like oh lets say gambling and theres no food for the baby and you are in debts that you have to sell your house? can love sustain you in the most difficult times of your life when your spouse leaves you and your in the streets begging? The answer is no. Money is an essential part in our society today, it is a practical thing just as an animal needs to eat and drink. Money can even cause people to be attracted to you and at times fall for you, it can even strengthen a relationship. How else are you going to buy your fiance an engagement ring, with love? how can you feed your wife and kids, with love?... Well I hope you get the thought, focus on domestic problems which involves money also focus on the mere infatuations on teens when they say they began to fall in love and all that but when push comes to shove that in the long run, when they make the big deicion of getting married and are now faced with a whole new array of domestic problems like bills and where to get food and all that, the point of having enough money or not can either strengthen or break a relationship. Be realistic here, do you think you can be married to a spouse and not get any gifts on your birthday, christmas, or on your anniversary just a kiss and your souse telling you i love you, can you still love a spouse when you will have to borrow money every week to pay the bank, debts and loans and food for the tabel since your spouse has no money? Can you still love a spouse who cant support his family? In the long run, money is well needed as it strengthens love or breaks it..in short yes, the concept of money buying love is very true in our materialistic society today. Focus also on courtships, when a guy courts a girl, its traditional for him to well catch the girls attention and uses money to buy flowers, chocolates or even go on dates to help develop that feeling called love so money is still buying love.Or in n any case you can go for this for the conclusion by not going with the topic and by not even agreeing with your competition but simply change it that money goes hand in hand with love.... See if you love someone you earn more money coz you dont want that person to suffer and you want to take of the person you love or to show your affection, the more money you have the more you can take care of the person you love in any case you are simply buying more love and affection from that person by acquiring more wealth/money..... Hope this arguement helps you in your debate and good luck....

Answer 3

Well, I'd go for the angle that money can buy you a lifestyle likely to make you more attractive to a potential lover, rather than that you can give someone a lump sum in return for genuine love.

For example, if you have a well payed job, the chances are you are well respected, have a social network including polite, intelligent sorts who are able to get along with others. You are likely to maintain a good level of personal hygeine, have hobbies - including keeping physically active and therefore be healthy. You are likely to live in a clean and stable enviroment and be less likely to be involved with street level crimes. You are unlikely to have high levels of day to day stress - like making ends meet, having family/ relations dying of diseases associated with poverty etc.

Therefore, the people you mix with and attract will find you a good catch and be more inclined to work at a relationship with you, than say a drunk crack abusing hooker with a violent pimp for a brother, a history of prison sentences and credit card debt and five sibblings relying on her wages to put a McDonald's Happy meal on the table once in a while.

Less stress on relationships, happier partners, more comfortable lifestyle, regular holidays to pleasant places, meals in restaurants and somebody with all their own teeth and who can string a sentence together has just got to be a better background in which love may blossom?

Answer 4

People tend to be attracted to those of similar attractiveness. However, possession of money makes a person more attractive. This can be proved by the fact that Rod Stewart can attract a succession of beautiful women, despite looking like a corpse. It even works for women - Barbara Windor is married to someone nearly half her age.

Love is not the same as attraction, it emerges from getting to know someone, but you need the attraction before you can get to know someone. Not being cynical about any of those people, they probably are in love, but it wouldn't have happened without the money.

Hope that helps.

Answer 5

well. money cannot buy love as such i wouldn't say . but i think you can sometimes buy possibilities and open doors with the money you have. eg you like someone, but they live in another continent. you can't go and just see them to enable love growing, without buying a ticket to go there. money can buy things that blind people into believing it could be love: expensive dinners, flowers, concert tickets makes them feel special and wanted, and may make loving and caring feeling possible. whether that is actually real love i don't know. but money can certainly buy aspects that help love to develop. maybe this might helpo thinking about it?

Answer 6

Money can convice someone to stick around long enough to give you a chance to convice them to love you. The pet idea is a good one though. And if you're talking about any form of love, then protitution would be an example of money buying love.

Answer 7

well, personally, i don't think that money can buy love, but if you have to debate that it can, you can bring up some examples: if a guy asks a girl to a dance, and spends money buying her a ticket, they may fall in love at the dance. if he brings her flowers (which also costs money), she will feel special, and will like him. if he gives her an expensive birthday present that she had wanted for so long, to make up for a fight that they had, that can also result in love. try to think up of some more things where a guy (or possibly the girl) spends money on his/her date, and makes them feel special. good luck with your debate!

Answer 8

You could argue (as does Marilyn Monroe in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes) that just as her man was initially attracted to her because she was beautiul, the love that develops is not solely reliant on that beauty and if she becomes less pretty he won't leave her (she hopes). She argued that money was the same as looks - she was initially attracted to him because he was rich but if he lost his money she wouldn't stop loving him. She worded it better than i can - perhaps you can show the video clip for your debate?!

Answer 9

money can buy love:

Heather Mills (?) and Paul McCartney
Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas
Anna-Nicole Smith and the really old oil guy
Lolita and Hubert Humbert
etc.

scientifically, love is a chemical change recognised by our mind and hormones. (like stupid amounts of chocolate or something) so it follows that if you have the money for a lot of chocolate....

Answer 10

Money can buy you nice things, and give you the time to spend time with those you love. If you spend your money being thoughtful and kind, it can certainly help love....
Rather be unhappy with it than without anyway..
