Both male and female does this, regardless of age.
I have another story of a man old enough to be my father who was trying to befriend me only because of what he stands to gain for me.
The only difference is, that he calls me way too much and texts me too frequently as if I am dating him. It is so annoying because I am always busy with something and he distracts me.
He felt like a pest to me because he asks me for money too frequently. In fact every week, he needed money for one thing or another.
I gave him for a few weeks but when I saw he was feeling entitled to me giving him money, I cut him off totally. I don't give him anything no matter the condition he states.
Imagine him saying cutting him off was bad and that I do not see how much benefit he can be to me as a friend. Benefit my foot! I got pissed totally...
I hope your friend gets to realise that behaviour is bad.
Yea, indeed!
Dude literally People knows how to take advantage of someone and don't get used by someone.
Living in a era where people can sacrifice their self respect for money. I can't even ask someone to lend me money it feels like awkward.
Glad you cut off with him and hope not someone reading this post of you will come in your DMs to ask for money !LOLZ
I can understand bro. Friendships of nowadays are more like for personal benefits.
True, he knows I only have a one friend that I won't want to lose.
My DM is open... One thing about me is, that I try not to change who I am regardless of the type of people I meet and how they treat me.
My ethic is that I only give when I have and when I can afford to do so. If I don't, I can never go far to borrow money to help a stranger or acquaintance in my name, no matter the condition.
Money and possessions are vanities... So why not give when I can afford it?
Really impressive. Man You Got my Respect.
Man of ethics and self discipline. Glad to meet you and lucky to have people like you in hive.
Indeed bro! You're awesome.
Much !LUV !PIZZA
You are absolutely right, we should give as long as we have and we shouldn't change who we are because of nobody.
You're absolutely right, people are more concerned about what they can benefit than doing what is right.
You are also right when you said most friendships are now based on personal benefits. I have a friend who is feeling so entitled to me giving him my time without thinking whether or not I have work to do.
Can you imagine! I've seen someone like that before and I must say you are really brave because it's really hard to cut off ties with such people. I really want to be like you in that aspect 😏.
