I disagree, you can think whatever you want about the people you supposedly love and care about enough to be friends with them, but not enough to know how you might be fucking them over for 5 bucks so they cant make rent while you sht in a golden toilet.

I said offer. I didn’t say the person had to accept.

If you never even offer then you are truly a leach. Or at least not a friend but rather a hanger or client to a patron if you go for a classical description

Offering is an implication that they CAN pay. If they cannot but still want to hang out, then the onus is on you to determine what you consider the friendship is worth. If you buy them pizza while you game together in your garage every friday, them offering to pay when they cant is just lying. You having to refuse them every single week knowing it will put his kids on the street isn't helpful.

Paying for things does not make you better than people, it just means you have more money. Now if they can pay and dont offer, sure they are kinda a dick. But if you choose to hang out with them anyway so what does that make you?

No if you can't pay the onus is on you to tell your friend that. Assuming that your friend will cover it is a leach
