I've personally just come back from backpacking Central America for several months, and within 5 minutes of arriving at any Hostel, bar or club and I could locate the guy holding, and score if I wanted to. I was the go to to guy for people half my age. Ditto in SE Asia, or pretty much any dance party or nightclub the world over.Even though it wasnt hard to do, it always surprised me when others (who were also looking) couldn't identify who the 'guy' was and had no idea how to approach or score.I had a very rough background growing up so it's just kind of ingrained in me to notice those things I guess. I can spot a dealer from a mile away, make the approach, talk the talk when I get there, and know what I'm talking about. Same deal spotting pickpockets, or hustlers or knowing a scam when you see one.Not saying I actually engaged in any illicit activities by the way. Just saying it was noticeable how totally clueless some people were to basic hustles, or who to avoid (or approach) or where to go (or avoid).We just had very different backgrounds growing up.</blockquote>
