Can Money Buy Love ?

 

Yes.

Not in all cases, but in most cases - yes. I will not talk about gold-diggers here and I don’t support a cynical view that anybody is for sale, it’s just a matter of how much money is needed. The reason why money can buy you love is simple: money gives you more reasons to be ‘lovable’, making you more likely to eventually find love:

Success is attractive. People are more forgiving, more respectful and pay more attention to powerful and influential people (money gives you that). I don’t say that success will automatically bring you LOVE, but sometimes all it takes is a second closer look to start realizing that you actually like a person. You are more likely to get this “second closer look” if you have money.

Some life experiences are attractive. Think about a very well-read person, who traveled a lot, met a lot of interesting people and have been to many amazing places. S/he has thousands of amazing stories to share. This person never talks about problems at work or raising fuel cost.

Confidence is attractive. Money can make you more confident. You don’t have to prove anything to anybody anymore. You don’t want to compete or bring the ‘money/career talk’ to every conversation.

Having more time improves your chances to find love. You can be in more places, you can spend more time there. You have greater freedom to enjoy your hobbies, find new ones and meet people with similar hobbies.

Health is attractive. You don’t have dental insurance and delay fixing a tooth? How lovable do you think this makes you in the meantime? Money can definitely buy you greater health. And healthy person is more lovable than a sick one (all else being equal).

Generosity is attractive. It’s much easier to appear generous if you have a lot of money. I say “appear”, because if a person who makes $200K per month pays for a $200 dinner - s/he is not more generous than a person who makes $1,000 per month and treated you to a $10 sandwich. $10 is way more important for the one who makes only $1,000 per month, but this won’t make you appear “generous”.

So, all else being equal, the points above could make a person more attractive, improving the chances to find love. And how do you get those points above? That’s right: you buy them with money. Therefore: in some cases money can buy you LOVE.
