I was going to add this to the "Levels of deception..." thread but I didn't want to hijack it(even though I'm the OP) and take it off course.
In lieu of certain situations that are confusing, I think that some newbies would appreciate answers to these questions-
1) If I am in a disco, bar or beach and I strike up a conversation with a young lady, is it appropriate to ask if she is a prostitute if she seems interested in spending more time with me during my stay?
The reason I ask is because of a common scenario that plays out where a tourist meets a chica, spends time with him giving him a real "girlfriend" experience only to be hit with a "factura" at the end of the vacation and the whole time the tourist in question had no idea she was charging him and never gave him an inkling that this is why she wanted to be with him.
2) If I plan to hang at the beach or the colmado with a friend and he decides he wants to bring some of his friends, is it appropriate to ask if they will be paying for their own food and drinks? Or is it automatically assumed that "el gringo" will pick up the tab? How can this be handled if one doesn't feel comfortable with the arrangement of having to pay for everything?
Part of the MO of hustlers or people looking to take advantage is they act like your friends but are not. And the deception lies in having to pay for something after the fact as opposed to everyone laying their cards out on the table before any commitments are made. THEY automatically assume that you are supposed to pay for this and that, but you are kept in the dark until the very end.
So the point is trying to avoid this and how.
