Real Men Seek Help From Other Men

[BEAUTYU2U]

Agree or disagree with that statement.

I was talking to a group of friends and one confided that she had dated a man before he went to prison. Well, he would write/call asking for funds afterwards. I said, I don't give men money and I find it disturbing that some men feel comfortable asking women in the first place.

Is it just me? I'm tired of all these mitches leaning on grandma, mama, sister, girlfriend, daughter, etc. I only respect men who either fix their own problems or look to their homies for help. It just makes my purse dry. But I noticed no one responded or nodded in agreement.

Maybe it came off as me judging her, which I wasn't. I was talking about the dude. What ya'll think?

I agree.

they should ... but I think men think women are less likely to say no...

which is to say... that unless this is your offspring... you almost certainly should be saying no

A man asking another man for help? a man has no problem asking a woman for help, because women will play into the pity party (but it has to be mommy, or some Mommy-like figure in his life).
It takes a lot for a man to ask another man for help, since they don’t want to be seen weak and vulnerable in another man’s eyes.

Hmm, I thought help equate to advice, I would agree. Men asking men as in support, unless they are kin, I dont see that happening.

I know very few men who will ask another man for financial help unless it's their father. It's a pride thing.

I had a man ask me for money before. Not a lot of money, but enough for me to realize that he didn't manage his money well and probably wasn't the one for me.

Exactly, I consider that lack of character. Grow some balls.

I agree.

My brothers & male cousins always borrow from each other. They never ask me...I would honestly be shocked if they did.

Men asking women for money just looks bad. Men who are comfortable doing that are usually ones to steer clear from anyway.
