A friend who hangs around only as long as you can provide what he or she cannot (or would rather not) provide for him or herself. This is the friend who is always lamenting their lack of money and makes you feel a certain level of pressure when the time comes to pay for lunch or other entertainment you've shared. This feeling can go as far as a feeling of guilt for being well-off (or not so necessitated) yourself and you may end up offering this person money to help them out. However, the welfareweather friend never pays back and their situation never seems to improve.
friend: "Should we invite Carmen to lunch with us?"
you: "I'd rather not have to pay for her today."
friend: "Yeah, that's true. And we'd have to pay for her kids' lunch too, for sure"
you: "Whenever I tell her I can't invite, she says no to everything. She's a welfareweather friend."

Get the Friend Loop mug.A Tourist Friend is much like a traditional tourists , but they only "visit" or "vacation" to your friendship instead of actual destinations. A Tourist Friend comes and goes, but mostly goes. They are only there when they want to be and often forget to even speak to you when they aren't "visiting." These people are hipocrites and they should not be taken at their word. These friends often break such common unwritten friend laws such as "Bros before hoes" and "Chicks before dicks." Abandon these friends as they will certainly abandon you...until they come crawling back. They are not worth your time.
