You are given $20mil USD on the account of remaining single forever.... do you take it?!

It's a lot harder when you're in a happy relationship. I'm also not struggling, live somewhere nice, wear nice clothes, watch movies I like and play games I want to so I think I'll pass.
If I was single though I'd probably do it and isn't there some safe theraphy that renders you asexual? Might just go for that, otherwise hookers and ONS it is. I think FWBs are allowed too right?

I am already single and even dating is at the bottem of my priority list. So you are basically asking me if you want $20mil USD for free.
Screw it
I will take it lol

I will buy her a plane ticket and stay in my city 👹

It's my current state, so hell yeah I'd take the money. Being single doesn't mean you can't have sex ever again so for that money? Yep. I'm bad at dealing with relationships anyway, could have gotten into them a few times but I fucked them up because I'm well, me.
I would buy a decent sized house, get 1 wolfdog and walk it around the dog park and impress the ladies, and save the rest of that money in the bank. If I wanted sex I'd either go try and meet FWB's/hookups, and that doggo I would get would help lots, or sleep with hot escorts lol.

I feel like a healthy life shared romantically with others is easily worth more than 20 million, and with a long term partner we could both live and love comfortably as it is. I also feel like with 20 million, I might be able to do some good for the world, but then 20 mill really isn't that much to make any real impact.
So no, no deal.

20 million isn't even that much TBH. Like you can't really ball out for 50 years on 20 million. Not worth it at all.
I find this hard to refuse without being selfish.
You can help a lot of people with 20 million.
Is the happiness my partner and I bring each other worth more than providing significant life improvement (education, housing, food) to hundreds of people?
I don't need a partner as much as people need food.
The dilemma is about how much you're willing to self sacrifice to make the world a better place.

Yes, especially when considering inflation. 20 Million for your whole life while a very nice sum of money isn't "I have enough money to do whatever I want forever" money.
Well it's illegal for a contract to forbid you from getting married so I would take the money and do whatever I want.
Same. I'd never turn down money just to keep doing what I'm already doing.
What are you planning to do with the money that you'd only have a "few more" years left?
20 million dollars means I (and my family) would never have to worry about money ever again. I'm not interested in an extravagant lifestyle.
This incorrect assumption is rather insulting. People can happily choose to be single. Being single doesn't equal being lonely, nor does it lead to crippling depression. This is like when people with kids assume those that don't what them will eventually change their mind.
It also doesn't turn people into incel conspiracy theorists, fucking hell people, could you be any more insulting?
Maybe not enough for you, but It's a fucking fortune to anyone that has to constantly worry about money.

I am single and always will be. Do I still get to make this deal?
Hell yeah if so.
Edit:
I would also do this for...
$2,000,000
$200,000
or even
$20
It's basically theft.

No. I love my wife, and while we aren't rolling in cash or living a lavish lifestyle, we do pretty well for ourselves and have little financial stress, have a nice house, take nice trips etc.
No one is going to dictate my life to that extent.
Being with someone, for me, is about more than sex. Companionship is a big deal.

just living off 1% interest you get $200,000 a year without touching the principle
but, I wouldnt do it
ive grown accustomed to her faaaaaace
Don't need to be mad, I do have friends who love to be alone. Not so much for being single for the rest of their life though ( which is the question in this thread, no ? ). Life and relationship is always more important than money. Ofc for generic person, not homeless.
I do have a cycle of wanting to be single, and have someone. The only problem with having someone, is when it is not the right person. I will never prefer to be single for the rest of my life though. That is just. Sad ? The only kind of friend I know that say being single is fine is either they just get out of relationship and doesn't want one yet, or one who can never find anyone and just making up shell and excuse.
I feel like I would've said yes a year ago. I'm 24 and the only times I ever had a "girlfriend" was in 6th grade, and it was pretty one sided. I had an online relationship in highschool, but I was naive and confused. As an adult, I think I've come to realize that I'm somewhere between bi and asexual (though I don't think the two are mutually exclusive, I just don't know the right term.) But I think I'm just in a protracted phase of figuring myself out, and I don't want to totally close the door on a partner, even if I have little interest in a traditional relationship. I got so hung up on sex and whatnot, but I like the idea of having someone I can drop all walls and talk intimately with.
20 mil is a ton of money, but I feel like my nature would be to eventually long after the one thing I've blocked myself from having. I dunno. It depends on the fine print of what being single is, I guess.

I mean yeah 200k is nice but again its not I have so much money to drown myself in pleasures that I don't notice I'm alone money. To say nothing of the fact that as you get more money you "readjust" your perspective on consumption levels.
