Asking for money from men can be a bit awkward. I totally get that! But there are a few simple steps that you can take to make this whole process a little smoother. Here’s what you need to do - 1. Be clear about the reason for you asking for the money. A simple explanation will make them understand your situation better. 2. Specify the exact amount that you need. Beating around the bush and being vague is not going to help. For example, tell them "my rent for this month is $800 and I’m falling short of $300". 3. Tell them by when exactly you need the money. 4. Suggest ways that they can send you this money. Give them options like they can send it to you via PayPal, Venmo, Cash App, etc. 5. Be very specific in letting them know when you will return this money. Men are more likely to give you money if you tell them when exactly you will repay them. This point is only for the times when you are borrowing money.
