Can money buy you love?

On a discussion i was having with a male compadrez of mine, the topic came up if money can buy you love. I said no but he said yes, so being very lady-like i told him to explain what he meant first.
'Girls love everything materialistic...' he said.(at this point, before the conversation developed i was thinking is this boy serious?)...'if a guy has a lot of money he can buy anything he wants for a girl...'
I said: 'the only exception is love'
He said 'No it isnt cause, you can buy anything for a girl and they would eventually fall in love with you.'
His point was not getting no-where of any real interest, so i decided to state my case, instead:
'Money can buy you many things, cars, jewellery, e.t.c however the one thing in the world it cant but you is love, because love is something you can not see and purchase, you feel it. It is indescribable and has no price tag because love is priceless. There is a difference between being in love with someone and having love for someone but i cant buy anything for someone, in the hope to make them fall in love with me, it just doesnt make any sense!.
He said: Money CAN buy you love, especially with a girl you want if she sees that your going to spend on her, like she deserves to be spent on she WILL love you.
I literaly could not believe what i was hearing, so before i argued even more, i decided to ask him: 'Has money bought you love?' He was quiet. I said 'i take that as a no then, so what experience are you talking from' Again he was quiet. So i decided to get other peoples opinion on the subject.
Accordinbg to one guy, money cant buy you love it can give you a boost, money can make you look good and to a girl that is important cause they wouldnt want no bum on the street, someone who looks fresh is important. Well i think he missed the point.
Another guy said girls love to be in control, they love power. Money equals power so therefore money can buy you love.
These wild generalisations made me feel that most guys catergorized girls as being all the same and money hungry, which i disagree so i open it up to you can money buy you love?

dont be dumb! obviously money=social proof (which is about the only thing women respond to)... if money can give you the inital push (i.e. for her to notice you), and after that she gets to know you and falls in love with you... will you say money hasnt played a part in that? as i say
romance without revenue = rubbish... please let this discussion end. No woman including you wants a scrub!!!! so money plays a part in the attraction game!!!

as much as i would love to disagree with the obvious 'male' comment above.... i can't. money makes you take notice... it's sad that this is what society is about now but being honest... if a guy doesn't have money... or if it seems like he can't provide for you... guarantees are that you won't be interested. its a shame... but its true. whether money can buy love... i dunno.. but it sure helps move things along!!

money can b an attraction for a girl but if she dont feel the love it can't make her stay

the truth is that money can fool others in believing that they r in love when thats not really the case and Gabrielle is right it does make others take notice.

Money = Power and most women are attracted to a powerful man.

But i would like also say there is a nu breed of men who only go for big money making women and its not fair to just say that only girls are materialistic.
