Fellow Nairalanders, there seems to be a thin line these days on being Generous /Stingy and that's why I'd like us to share our varied opinions on some issues of generosity and being stingy as it pertains to the Gender and the following,Family, Friends,Colleagues Girlfriends/boyfriends, Acquaintance etc
All fingers are not equal likewise the responsibilites that everybody bears is different;while some people already have better foundations that cushion them from the impact of various responsibilities,others are still working to get there,however let's get down to it.
FAMILY- These are the people that have been there for you in some cases right from day one or in some cases just start showing up and making request just because they know you have started seeing some cheese and no matter how to make them see that you have issues too to sort out,your best is not always good enough even @ your own detriment,they"ll even want to see your account balance as proof.
FRIENDS- They come in different categories,the working ones,ones not working yet and the ones that have been working. Some think just because you earn more than them,you should always pick the tabs(bills).I don't even know what to make of this yet...
COLLEAGUES- Some have been working before you,you have been working before others and all and yet some of the ladies tend to use the gender thing against the guys,like just because you"re a guy,you should pick some tabs(bills) even though you guys earn the same amount and in most cases earn above you and they also have the advantage of people better off picking their tabs yet they still got their eyes on your meagre cheese in your pocket.
GIRLFRIENDS-i used to know of days when people were attracted by mutual affection they have for each other but it seems those days are long gone,as most girls now see relationship as job sef,they expect pocket money from you or you"re seen as not being man enough..in this our harsh economy,even if she earns more than you,she still collects money from you @ all cost forgetting that you should also have other plans and people to cater for and in the long run if you sacrifice your dream and ambition for her and you"re found wanting;she"ll simply move on to the next one or better still look @ you as MAGA that has paid,that's the most annoying of all..as it now leaves me wondering if r/ship's nt supposed to be a two way tin?
ACQUAINTANCE- The ladies in most cases are guilty of this;ok, you meet a lady,say in a gathering and you get talking and all just being social...you perhaps later keep in touch,you don't ask her out or anything,you"re just okk being friends or colleagues..the next thing,she's making demands or wants you to some of her tabs(bills) just because she's a lady and when you can't afford it,she sees you as being stingy
Please fellows I'd like our opinions on "whom","how",and "when" to draw the line between being stingy/generous, even though you know you"re trying your best but maybe the impact's nt been felt as they presume you don't have other commitments too...
Meanwhile,let's keep hustling and spread the love as much as we can and see if someone comes up with a good opinion that will blur this thin line of gender and generosity/stingy issues!

summarize pls

Like someone posted earlier, being stingy is one intentionally refusing to part with his money to help another person out, be they a friend, family or just a stranger.

Different strokes for different folks. If I have the money, I'll help out a friend. If I don't have the money, I will not borrow, so as not to be called stingy.

Why people call others stingy might be because they are looking at the persons 'lifestyle': He drives a car, has a business, dines sumptously but refuses to part with his money.

Probably because the cash is not present, but the lifestyle deceives others into thinking that he has it at that moment, which sadly might not be true.
