heres an interesting question
would you go with someone for their money? in normal circumstances i'd say no unless i was single, they were a millionaire and i found them at least slightly attractive, i'd go for them for their money even if i had no feelings towards them, ok its wrong but i'm being honest. what would you do?

No.. I would hate to think that anyone thought I was with someone other than the fact that I genuinely liked/lurved/got on with said person.

Maybe short term, but if money is the only reason you can think of to be with someone you will get sick of being with them after a while

It may sound an attractive prospect to start with,but I agree with Slayerfest2k. No amount of money is going to enable you to deal with the stress of being in a 'relationship' based on the wealth of your partner.
A job is a relationship based on money (as well as the prospect of possibly doing something you enjoy- which you won't have in a gold-digger arrangement)so the question is...How long did it take you to get 'P'ed off with your boss?

No at the end of the day moneys nothing!! You can have all the money in the world and still not be happy. I would much rather be poor and happy than rich and depressed

Well if Heather can do it, anyone can
I would, marry them, be all charming... then PUSH THEM DOWN THE STAIRS!!!! Ha! Ha! Ha!
It would count towards my choice of bride and I know that's a terrible thing, but there's no point lying, saying "oh, I'd be happy poor if I woved somewon, woved, woved, woved someone!" Yeah, bulls to that! Liars, the lots of you
It would matter to me, but not the deciding factor, if there's no chemistry, the sex it terrible and they're ugly as hell, no amount of money would keep me with them!
...
Unless they suffered from a heart condition or had many flights of stairs

People are quite sensitive about, and aware of, the idea of marrying (or whatever) for money; so perhaps an interesting varient of 'would you for money' is - for what would you date/marry/whatever someone that you didn't love? Assuming it's an actual 'relationship' rather than just bouncing on the bed on a saturday night.

I don't think i'd date anyone for money but i also don't think i'd pursue a relationship that would mean a downslide in my wealth either. Love can be a very fickle thing and tho' money can't make you happy it can help do a damn good impression of it (and can also buy beer to help drown sorrows in the event of being pooped on )

ok i agree that i'd go for lover no matter what, however tyhe idea of a rich woman wanting me would still attract me and i guess i'd go with them in the hope i could learn to love them eventually, and i suppose it'd be the money i'd love so technically i would be in love. however i do sorta agree that long term may not be good, so short term would be a lot better. its jsut the idea of having all that money and passing up the chance to have an enjoyable life even for a short amount of time is silly. with that money i could donate to charity, help out my family and basically have fun.

Some people 'think' they are in love with a person - when all they are actually in love with is the lifestyle the other person with money can offer them, then when the realities of the relationship kick in and they realise that they still have to put some effort in to the relationship themselves, there is no amount of money in the world that can make that relationship work, and then they feel cheated out of 'something' and become angry at the person with the money, because that person's money couldn't solve all the problems, and the person with the money becomes a target for all the other person's bitterness and disappointment.
Even if the person with more money isn't exactly rich and has worked really hard for everything they have, it still doesn't stop the person without money resenting them and feeling that they have somehow been 'cheated' out of something.
No partnership can ever be completely equal - and how a relationship works out depends on the people involved - not on either parties bank balance.
Money can't buy love - but it sure feeds hate and envy.

Would only do it if she was in her 90's, left her millions to me, and had a heart condition!! Evil I know but then you could marry the person you love and live happily ever after!!!
