My field report today is not a field report, rather something I thought about today after being smoothly pan handled in downtown Manhattan. If you live in any major city, you are used to begging and for the most part you shut if down and ignore most of them (otherwise you'd need to get another job to support them all). Therefore the good ones really step up their game and use tactics similar to PUA techniques.

Opener, neg, compliment, story, feeling sorry for the dude, ask for change... the guy was so smooth, I actually dished a buck out of my pocket for the effort. Hands down, if I could use the same techniques with girls, I wouldn't have time to post here. Career begging...

Think I'm going to read up on the art of panhandling.
