do u think he/she is wrong

Well friends, i really like us to understand what LOVE means in its true sense. Love is not what people takes it to be today. What people see as Love today is not Love but LUST. Now down to what love means... It means Sacrifice. Doing something for somebody out of compassion and without expecting something in returns.

Now lets address the What transpires between two people: Loving someone is knowing the person, and knowing someone is loving him; it's difficult for you to say you love somebody when you have not known him/her. If you found yourself saying you love someone when you have not known him/her, then you are actually lusting after him/her. People, feel attraction for each other base on so many factors..... But here is the point...Loving someone has little or nothing to do with money but Attraction does. If you are not perceived to be rich....you probably may not get attracted to somebody.

Love Anything To do with money. Love Comes straight from the heart and its unconditional.
We shouldn't be saying love has something to do with money. If is because of money we love, am afraid to tell you we all making a mistake. If the money finished today that means we will go in our ways. My opinion is that we should love right from our heart so we will be able to understand ourselves.

My point exactly, seun-smith.

anyone who has read 'rich dad poor dad' will be familiar with the phrase "The lack of money is the root of all evil" o boy without that money the love will have a very hard time staying alive, yes money can make love much more enjoyable

If you put your hope and love in money then, yes, the lack of it is the root of evil.

But it's not wise to base your love on money. You will get disappointed.

it is not wise to love a homeless man either. . .so what are you saying?

homeless men don't deserve to be loved?

Nope.... he's just saying it's not wise to get married to one because the both of u might end up homeless

What of those people who are affluent but tragedy strikes and they end up homeless?

What about those people in New Orleans that had everything wiped out and now are homeless?

Having money one day does not mean that you will have money the next. Does that mean that the couple should get divorced?

I didn't say the couple would get divorced; my comments were focused for those not yet in love, so, my question to you is:

Would you date a homeless man? Simple yes or no.

good question man!

Well, I have dated a homeless man.  When I met him he was just sleeping on vairous friend's couches.

but your comment was love, that it's not wise to love a homeless man.  All I said was: everyone deserves to be loved.

kamakula: it is not wise to love a homeless man either. . .so what are you saying?

goodguy said:

goodguy: Nope.... he's just saying it's not wise to get married to one because the both of u might end up homeless

And you never mentioned marriage so I responded to him saying that life throws you curves, you never know your outcome.

All I'm saying is that it's not wise to base your love on money.

So, when you were dating this guy who was sleeping from couch to couch, you were saying to yourself, this is a relationship I see going somewhere?

Or were you thinking, you know, if he gets his own place, we might become serious.

Or was it, if this becomes serious, he can come live with me.

Or you were just dating for fun?

I ask because I find it hard to believe anyone would seriously date a homeless guy

Good questions!

We dated for 2 years so it was serious. I saw that the relationship could go somewhere because I saw that he had potential. He needed someone to support him, not look down on him because of his situation.

I helped him get established. I got him in school and enouraged him throughout.

thanks for your honest answer, changes my esteem for ppl a little :-)

@vexxy: are u still with him?

No, goodguy. This relationship happened from 1999 to 2001.

my own stands on this issue is that majority of gurls are after the money, likeness is like an allien word to them

@vexxy: what seperated u ?

He cheated

i c

He is a SOB for doing that to you.

what is SOB?

Money comes and goes but when true love comes it stays forever. Money is essential to love but this now depends on ur own perception of love. Money should not bea yardstick 4 measuring love. feelings shld come 1st

Thanks, Gina. It's alright

Adetola, I agree.

Love means a lot it goes beyond money but our soceity today has centered it on money. This is because no girl will go out with a man without expecting @least ice-cream and no man will give any lady free ice-cream without sleeping with lady.

This is what the soceity calls love, this is not love.

Love gives no condition.

asanga himself

@goodguy SOB means *SON OF A BITCH*

thanks gina

hi guys,
personally in my opinion,love has every thing to do with money.not every thing persay but a lot of things especially in nigeria today.

Love without money? It can't work.
