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

Same here. I mean, how great would it be to pay off all your debts and your parent's debts? What i worry about with that much money is how it can corrupt a person. And friendships, relationships. Suddenly a whole new world opens up and before you know it you'll be shopping boats, jewelry, people will get jealous, you'll think maybe you can fuck more people because hey, everybody acts like i'm special. Your kids could be abducted, etc. Brrr... All kinds of greedy people suddenly want to be your friends, everybody is sucking up to you. You might lose perspective really fast.
It's all kinda scary to me (becoming filthy rich) and when i see the lives of the rich, aside from vacations i'm never that jealous, to be honest. It often seems very superficial.
No, I make enough money, nothing is sadder than Notch. This is a modern Faust deal
Sometimes first post just nails it
Even this binding agreement doesn't forego friends with benefits or meeting great people for flings at a bar or on an online dating service.
"Committal" and "romantic partnership" are doing too much here to make this a real restriction.
Assume people who vote yes are less than 25. When you get old enough you will realise having a good partner is a bless in life. You will reach the point where you have tried everything and life start to become a repeat cycle. That's when you realise coming home to meet someone, who you can share something with, who can go travel with you, etc, etc is one thing that is still good about life.
Absolutely not. I love feelings and I love my fiancee very much. I'd rather be poor with her than rich without her.
Definitely a no. I love my girlfriend, and I love her daughter. We have basically become a family at this point. That said, I'd only agree to it if I could split the money with her, but I don't think I could do that and just completely walk away from her at that point, and I don't think she'd let me.
Would I be able to claim the money if I divorced my wife, bought a house in the same neighborhood, and occasionally still had sex with my ex-wife?
If not I'd turn down the money. I wouldn't destroy my life for any amount of money.

why not just split the money with her and divorce. i feel like some of you are overestimating your value to your spouse lol :p
I'd do it for much less than that.
You can turn 1 million dollars into an empire of wealth if you're smart and make great decisions with it.

I don't think I'd take it.
I'm pretty sure my wife could replace me with like 10 more cats and not skip a beat though.

Totally
There is a very good chance I'll end up single at my current rate, cause I cant be arsed. So why turn down free money.
Plus worst case scenario I'll spend years amassing more money and securing it so its locked down and all mine and then if I want, back out of this deal, tell them to fuck off and shack up if I want, there are no laws for rich people.

Kinda seems like people would respect it if women said yes to this question, but if a dude says yes he is some kind of loser incel forever lonely person.
It's a hard one.
On one hand I could provide future support, stability & security for family and friends and honestly nothing would make me happier. You could help so many people out of unfortunate situations.
On the other, as often as it is the case your SO may as well be the only thing that gives any meaning to your life.
It just really depends on what and who you value in life the most.

No. When I was younger I could have taken the offer as it took me longer than average to get a girlfriend and I was pretty hopeless and down about it and started to assume it would never happen anyway. Now things have changed I wouldn't give up the feeling of companionship for the world, even if I fell into another long period of being single I couldn't give up hope for money.
I don't think so. Sounds like a miserable existence and I would happy with a lot less than $20 mil.
