A large number of DTES SW's can be described as survival sex workers. Asking them to adopt post payment as an 'industry standard'
confused
leaves them vulnerable to further victimization/marginalization
Who is going to ask them to do that? God in a dream appearing to each of them simultaneously?
Like the Borg collective?
If a guy is dumb enough to hand over cash to an addict prior to recieving services, then he will
get what's coming to him. An exception might be if he knows her well and is a regular.
Even if she appears normal DT, by the time she gets to your place or a hotel room or wherever
and does her drugs inbetween, she could have a total change of personality and, for example,
go on a serious paranoid trip where she does crazy stuff and is rather useless as a date.
Since i have a rep down there as being a straight shooter & standup guy, like i'm sure some
other guys do, it is easier to recieve trust with funds. For example the other day there
were two SWs, one whom i knew & the other i didn't, but they knew each other. The newbie i
was interested in wanted half up front, but i suggested she speak to her friend who would
vouch for me. And everything ended up happily ever after for all at the end of the night.
OTOH, if she hadn't trusted me, who knows who or what she might have ended up with.
Maybe just nothing but a bunch of bruises or broken bones.
