I was reading this article, and it got me thinking:

I for one could not fathom helping out a single mommie if she weren't putting out. It sounds like this particular woman is resentful that the male friends she is asking for financial help want some love & affection in a quid pro quo. Perhaps they are single mommies because when they had a husband, they didn't put out enough to keep him around?Indeed, things sometimes went awry when women depended on males in their life for help. One woman Seefeldt and Sandstrom interviewed said she asked male friends for help buying groceries or paying bills, but they sometimes asked for physical favors in return.
“He wants to stay the night, and thinking he’s gonna get over,” one woman told researchers. “Just because you bought me eight rolls of toilet paper and some dish rags and stuff, you’re not going to get over.”
