Anything I can ever do for someone within my capabilities I am willing to do. I do favors for people all the time, it may be just getting them attention but sometimes getting them paid. Other than for a few friends (most of whom are members here), I can't seem to get favors or "hook-ups" reciprocated (not sex, just favors). I'm not complaining about what I can do to help someone, nor do I do things to get something back but I was just curious as to which side of the "hook" you are on. Hook"er"- the person that hooks people up. Hook"ee"- the person that gets a lot of favor. I'm about 90% Hook"er" and 10% Hook"ee".
I'm at about that same percentage. I'm always the first to offer a helping hand, but rarely get one back. I've had a few large projects at my house over the past year and couldn't get one of my "friends" to help out...including the "friend" that I got a job for and another "friend" that I helped move.
the ones i consider real friends are more than willing to help me out, as i would do the same for them. acquaintences are hit and miss but that's to be expected.
I think i'm 40 hooker and 60 hookee. That's as of lately. Before I was way to eager to help somebody out. Now, not so much. No good deed goes unpunished.
I'm not really aware of any discrepancy between hook'er' and hook'ee' with my friends. So, it's probably 50/50 - but I can't say I keep track.
I'm about the same. My wife is probably 95/5, maybe more. It's just the way it is and we are used to it. Helping people is a good thing.
I'm 80 percent hooker. I like helping people. I do need occasional help and usually my friends are there to help.
Hooking others up is good karma and that's probably sufficient reward for me. I feel like I've been hooked up a number of times in my life, so I try to do for others where possible.
I am pretty much always the one 'giving', and rarely if ever do I get it repaid. However, I don't ask for anything back and most of those I try to help are of the 'less fortunate' variety (don't mean the homeless, but say some single mother with six kids that happens to be on your staff), so it's difficult to expect 'reciprocity', so their gratitude is good enough for me. As a rule: help others because you know it's the right thing to do, because you would want the same thing if you were in their place, not because you expect 'payback'.
The universe is telling me to hook you up with a pair of Rockets/Celtics tix. If I get them, they're yours . My bid went in Tues.

back about 5 years ago or so, I was the Hook'er. esp when it came to loaning my bro money. I'd always loan him money even though I probably wouldn't get it back and my parents always gave me gruff about it. fast forward 5 years and it seems the role is reversed so I guess it works out in the end
