Would you date someone just to get free home repairs?

I could never use anyone like that. That is just mean and I wouldn't want anyone to treat me like that. I only date people that I find interesting and that I think that I will have a good time with and someone that I know that I would want to see on a regular basis.

I think that is wrong and actually kind of gross. But if a man is dumb enough to fall for that a few times, well he kind of deserves it! Of course they don't always think with their brains ;)

honestly I think if she really wnats this guy to fix her fence she should just ask. If they are friends then he wouldent mind fixing the fence after hours. That is what friends do for eachother. She can offer to make him a dinner as payment instead of dating him just to get him to fix her fence.

I have such low tolerance for ppl like that..I knew a few women (I use the term loosely with them) that were like that and I personally think its a nasty habit...not only is it flat out shady and rude but to care so little about the feelings of another person just disgusts me....

i know some women that do this, and if they get things fixed for free good for them., but in my life, ive learned nothing is for "free".

Your friend is right. It is wrong to use someone for any reason. I would rather pay the money and get the fence fixed then pretend to like someone so they'de do it for free. It is easy enough to hurt other people without going into a "relationship" knowing that you're going to do it. Your friend is keeping her integrity and I hope she is proud of herself for it. I think she needs more friends like you, and less like the other woman.

I know a woman who is dating a guy so he will do the repairs on her car. She says that machanics are so expensive and she hasn't got the money to pay them and it's cheaper to have a boyfriend that will do all the labor for her. I do see how it can help. I wish my husband was more handy so it could save us more money, however I do not find it to be right.

I think she is a pro who trades in kind ratgher than cash. tell her that and may eb she will stop doing this. How mean of her and poor guys, I can never take advantage of weven my casual friends leave alone the boyfriend, to do things for free for me. Its seems so unfair.

The word "user" comes to mind.... that's just plain wrong! How would your friend feel if someone did that to her? I don't think getting your fence fixed for free is worth your integrity.

I believe in bad karma. That other friend will someday meet her match so she would also feel how it's like to be used by another. You're right in agreeing with your friend about not having a relationship just for the benefit of it (in this case, free home repairs). That's really quite shallow, I must say. Yes, home repairs can be expensive, but then it's not worth breaking another person's heart. I'm saying this because there is a possible repercussion of not wanting to stay with the guy anymore after all the needs have been taken cared of (just like in the case of the other friend). When there are no feelings involved, I doubt if there's going to be a meaningful relationship. I like your discussion. Happy myLotting!

Gah! I would never use someone like that. It's mean and nasty and nothing good can come from it. I'm glad your friend isn't listening to this other friend of hers. She should tell her friend that if she's so interested in him to go after him herself instead of nagging her all the time. I hate people that use other people for selfish reasons though. It's not right and it's an abuse of the trust that people give to others. If I needed my fence fixing, I would ask this guy to give me a quote for fixing it. I certainly wouldn't expect to get it done for free, and there's NO way I'd date him just to have a few repairs done.

I think we all know what we call these kind of girls? Yes, thats right, Good Girls! Can i have her number?, i cant do any handy man jobs, but i'd certainly buy a tool belt if it helps. Sorry, thats just jokes. It's very bad and just further makes the man think less and less of women. Chip in and pay a professional. hope it helps

why not gals mostly use guys and guys spend money ro do many things for free in hopin to scored with that gal to date some one to get home repairs is absolutely okay

It's hard for me to date anybody to just get my home repaired. It would good if I work hard and get some cash to get it done by myself . I agree with your friend and you superchook that there is no sense doing all this stuff as I think it's a sin.

Well, I think it's unfair because it's leading the guys on. They get interested and involved in what they think is a relationship, and it's really just them doing a bunch of favours for a random girl. I hope your friend doens't 'use' this guy like that.

That is a wrong reason to go for a date. It gives the person your dating a wrong idea. On the other hand if you were to be up front with him and say sure we could go out on a date if you will fix my fence for me. Than he would know where he stood and if he decided to still fix your fence and go out for that reason I see nothing wrong with that. And who knows maybe something could very well develop from that.

no.~~
