In America, it can. Money is a huge requirement in most relationships.

That can be arranged regardless of how much money each person has. So whatever...my point still stands. As for why men sign up for any deal period? Because I think there's plenty of guys that still want to be with someone long term..me being one of them. From what I understand surveys now show that there are more men interested in marriage than women.

Money can buy love, if you're at the local animal shelter looking for a new puppy.

Those are free. What you pay for is the registration, shots and spay or neuter.

I agree. Because so many bad marriages are held together by the money and assets, and neither party has the guts to give any of it up.

If I had money, I'm sure I could lure an ex of mine back. But he'd still be a jerk.

Money may not buy love, but it sure helps increase the number of prospects.

The real test is when the money runs out. Was the relationship based on that or was it really from the heart, regardless of how much money someone had. If the run when its gone, you'll know. so sad.
I know of someone back in Az who was pretty well to do, but when he lost his job just last year and had to find a lower paying one just to live, he also lost his new house that he had custom built and had to downsize tremendously, to renting a small older home and one of his cars had to get repo'd. Funny, when this happened, his girlfriend (who was high maintainence anyway, I knew both of them) all of a sudden had a sick relative in S Carolina and left him. I had a strange feeling about her from day one, and tried to tell him, but you know how that goes. She hasnt even kept in touch. Sad.

Yes these are also commonly known as "unhappy" people that end up cheating on each other and arguing all the time. Doesn't seem like anyway to live to me but hey whatever they like I guess.
