If you had the choice of true love or extreme success?

<p>Money is my true love. Not gonna lie. I can honestly see myself being happy alone with lots of success and money b/c I’d be happy with myself and that’s all I need. I don’t need anyone else.</p>

<p>Love ends. Even if its true. Someday you can wake up and it’s simply gone.
I would go for success. Money can’t buy me love but it can buy me a good, decent and handsome partner. Sometimes it’s all you need.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Well, I don’t love money, but I certainly don’t have an overwhelming desire to spend “forever” - which is really just the countdown towards my death - with another. So there’s no need for me to wither away in poverty with someone I am incapable of loving when I could have success and be just as happy.</p>

<p>the point of life, biologically speaking, is to procreate as to keep the species alive. We are geared for love, i don’t get how anyone can’t desire love. Its just a matter of finding it i think</p>

<p>I don’t desire love. At all. I choose success any day. True love in my opinion doesn’t exist.
All I need is math and computer science, everything else can go.</p>

<p>i choose love. i don’t need to be known for anything crazy or being painfully wealthy, i just want to blend in and be happy.</p>

<p>^ i just want to be happy, i dont even care about blending in. That and making everyone else around me as happy as possible. </p>

<p>A little mulah here and there wouldn’t hurt though.</p>

<p>i meant blending in on the overall social spectrum (if that’s not what you thought i meant). and of course i want to be financially stable, and if i’m more than that, than hello! but if there’s one thing i’ve learned (living in kentucky) it’s the feeling of being grounded, and i want to take that with me wherever i go.</p>

<p>I have a feeling that what people think they would choose (success vs. love) will probably have changed by the time they reach the end of their lives. No one can say right now what they would DEFINITELY choose. No one knows for sure what they’ll choose until they actually face the question in true life. Those that say they prefer success might find someone they truly love and that could completely change their outlook</p>

<p>Love. I make my own success (and know this to be mostly under my own control) whereas love is a lot of serendipity coming into play.</p>

<p>1st. With $$$ I can buy hoes and *****es.</p>

<p>True. </p>

<p>Anyways, I’m a success, why not make it greater?</p>

<p><em>insert rant here about how celebrity status is something I wouldn’t want and how there is no such thing as ‘true love’, just love, or that it’s easier to find than one would think as evident from people who genuinely love each other, but are separated by life and end up marrying someone else they also genuinely love in the long run, plus the fact that soulmates can be platonic</em></p>

<p>That all being said, I’d like control over my situation and not a forced pick of a set of values. In other words:
EXTREME Success (as in, my novel breaks new ground and influences philosophy/a genre for centuries to come) > True Love (in my own definition) > Moderate Success (as in, I publish my novel and it earns a cult following) > True Love (the cliche definition) > Extreme Success (as in, I publish my novel and it ends up on the New York Times Bestseller List)</p>

<p>

<p>Asexuals make up 1% of the population</p>

<p>TRUE LOVE. Not even a doubt in my mind. The idea of excessive wealth repulses me for some reason.</p>

<p>There’s no such thing as true love. The girl will just leave you like the rest of em.</p>

<p>I go with extreme success and give a lot to charity.</p>

<p>^^^^</p>

<p>Charity = love. So I guess you hit the jackpot. :)</p>

<p>I’d choose true love because life is anything but mediocre when you’re in love. Besides. Two professional salaries may not make you Oprah, but you can live comfortably.</p>

<p>true love, no doubt, no explanation.</p>

<p>I don’t consider that extreme success. That’s extreme academic achievement.</p>
