I do know why, I seldom have any girl friend come and borrow money from me. But when it comes to my hub, he has many male friends that like to borrow money from my hub. What is annoy is they will delay to pay my hub back or they don't pay back until my hub ask from them. Lately my hub's old school mate came a sudden texting to my hub. They have not keep in touch for a very long time. This friend text and ask for my hub to borrow money. So do you have any friends that like to borrow money from you? Do you get annoy when some one borrow money from you?

vingyan.. your hub is a easy going person ya.. for me, I don't have many friends that come to me when money is concern.. I make sure I let them know I am not in a good shape either! Well, not bad, but I just don't have extra to borrow. I think this habit happens on those day towards the payday. I got a friend who like to do this to some of the group of friends, and we later learned on this tactic, and refuse to actually lent a hand. as for whether man borrow more than woman, I am in the opinion depends on what kind of friends you have. I know some girls like to go through this friend's borrowing too!

Hi Cwong, thanks for your response. Yeah, true enough, my hub is an easy going person. When his friends ask money from him, he will mostly borrow to them. And I am the one who always remind him to get his friends to him back. Lately his old school mate keep asking my hub to borrow money , and it is about $1000. I insist and tell my hub not to borrow money to this old school mate as we don't know him very well. He has lost contact with my hub for very long time ago. Now he sudden called my hub and text my hub just for money.

Oh.. I agree with you on this matter! since they are not those that close to your hub, should not borrow the money to them, and it's not a small amount for RM1K. However, if this 1K can buy someone to betray your hub trust, it will be just too much.

Hello vingyan. I am sorry for the situation that you are facing. To be frank, it is annoying to me when one borrows money, but has to be urged to return it. I don't borrow money from others, but from my own family and I also lend my money to my siblings when they need it and ask for it. I used to have a student many years ago, who borrowed money from me without giving it back to me. Ever since then, if there are students asking to borrow money from me, I will have them write a note of borrowing money in case it is proof...

The big question is when they borrow money do they pay it back? How allies it is called mooching and I think they see your husband is a soft touch. You say they do not pay it back without coercion so I guess they are hoping he will forget it. I work hard for my money and I get annoyed when people play me for a fool. If they need money until payday that is what credit cards are for. If a bank or credit card won't loan them money why should you if they are untrustworthy? Unpaid money can destroy a friendship.

I don't know if that's ture. Maybe because guys are more weak at controling their money, they spend their moeny without aware of it, then when they really need money for something, they have to borrow some money for that thing. And i think guys who like drinking and smoking will be worse.

I think you should talk about it for 2 reasons: you are a couple and you are annoyed. If he still wants to lend money to them, handling yourself is what matters now. Let him get annoyed or just let him handle it at all. Besides if it's his money, let him do the charity as long as you and your kids are well supplied of your needs.

hello vingyan06, don't know anyone from my male friends who borrow money. maybe because, we have a cooperative here in the company we are working who is offering a lot of loans - from long term to short term and in a very minimal interest rate. what i know is that women tends to borrow money more than men as per my experience. some were paying on time and others are not. if they do that it annoys me a little beat. can't do anything but to understand them anyway.

I think it is both sexes that borrow money from each other and it is both sexes that never pay it back.There are lots of people out there that borrow money off me and my other friends yet they seem to spend their money on aload of rubbish and run out of money.

I think women have a lot more pride and don't like to ask for help. They are considered helpless to begin with and some would seen the asking for money as a part of weekness. I know the same could be said about the guys. But I think more guys borrow more money because they have that eye of manipulation down and women just aren't as good in that sector. Women tend to be honest about stuff than men.

So far, none of my friends borrowed money from me, but my servant maid frequently asks money but repays it promptly and so also our gardener. i don't get annoyed because they are poor people and when we ourselves are running short of money at the end of the month though we earn more, compared to them, what about their plight besides they are repaying it promptly before I ask them

We like to borrow and pay back with interest! Us upstanding guys will not leave you lying down. I know that in being in a partnership, there is borrowing with a deadline to pay back. Just as you have earned you should receive. But that is just me speaking.

I have only enough for myself and my friends knew that very well so would not borrow from me. If I have I would not mind helping those in desperate situations.

I think it is about the same or perhaps with people I know the women borrow more from each other than from men, but men borrow more from women than from each other. The line from Shakespeare to be "Neither a borrower nor a lender..." is very intelligent, however. I hope your hub told that false friend NO! I might buy an old friend dinner, but I would not loan money. That is a fast way to lose a friend, because then if they cannot pay back they will turn against you as an excuse for their failure.

vingyan06 hi oh yes my husband used to give money to some people he barely knew, and usually they did not pay him back. I would never have borrowed money from a stranger let a lone a close friend,and if I had, I would darned well pay it back as soon as possible. I would get so upset with him as he should have known better too.
