Why would a man reject a woman’s money?

[Anonymous]

To include a example:

I needed my exhaust fan replaced. But couldn’t find a affordable handyman. The companies who I called charged me $800 total, just for a exhaust fan replacement. Till I finally found a affordable rate from a man. Who only charged $35 a hour per labor, for a total of $100 plus tax.

During the labor, the repair man was sweating a lot and I thought I should tip him for the services he did. As he finished the job. I paid him $150.00 but he refused the $50 tip. I kept being persistent to thank him. But he kept saying “no, it’s too much I won’t accept it.”

why?

There could be many reasons why a man might reject a woman's money or a tip, and it's difficult to know for certain without more information. However, some possible reasons could include:

1. Professional pride: Some service providers take pride in doing a good job and providing fair prices, and may feel uncomfortable accepting extra money or tips. They may see it as a reflection of their work or feel that they are already being compensated fairly.

2. Personal values: Some people have personal values or beliefs that make them uncomfortable accepting money or tips for services. For example, they may feel that it's important to provide a service out of a sense of duty or responsibility, rather than for financial gain.

3. Cultural norms: In some cultures, it may be considered impolite or inappropriate to accept money or tips for certain services. The repair man may have been following cultural norms or expectations around tipping or payment.

4. Fear of expectations: The repair man may have been concerned that accepting a large tip could set up unrealistic expectations or put pressure on him to provide more services or discounts in the future.

Ultimately, the repair man's refusal of the tip may have been a personal choice, and it's important to respect his decision. If you want to express your gratitude for his services, you could consider writing a positive review or recommending him to others in your community.

I don't think this has anything to do with you being a woman and him being a man. I think he's just an honest person would didn't want to take money he did not earn.

I’d reject his, so its only fair 🤷‍♀️ But i had an ex admit that it would make him feel less of a man to take from me despite us having been together for years.

Some jobs don’t take tips and he could get into a lot of trouble if he took more than he’s allowed to.

Him charging that rate tell me he either self employed or he did this on his own time. Way to cheap for any business

If she is a single mother, no. If her rent is due, no. If her utility bills are due, no.


Good women are givers. The least you can do is not rob them of that. Pun intended.

A lot of men see that kind of thing as an act of chivalry. It's stupid and arcane, but a lot of guys see that kind of thing as a testament of how much of a gentleman he is.

That's why he's the "little guy" and they're the "big guys"

Did you think it's possible he might have rejected your extra money because a deal is a deal? Why does it have to be about you being a woman?

[TrillXHippy]

Because I have my own and when my own money runs out I’m still not going to ask for money

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Same reason why a woman would reject a man's money

men don't care about a woman's money

He isn't into you. He's just a humble guy.
