While one who asks for money with no sob story is likely not a con artist taking advantage of you?

I'm not sure, but I think the guy without a story is a long-term bum who stopped giving a fuck and has started expecting money from people so he can buy booze.

you know that giving money to beggars is the reason why they keep begging

especially if they were being aggressive

They're not con artists; they're just professional beggars.

Based on my personal exp, yes. Bonus points when they try and use their children there on top of it

reddit is not personal experience. You have to go outside for that.

if youre begging, you either need the money or you dont and just want free money

more often they are just taking advantage of our sympathy to the actual homeless?

I only give money to somebody with a very specific reason for it. Like a guy who's literally sitting at the gas station, in his car, next to a pump, saying "Hey, if you give me like five bucks I'll have enough gas to get home" or something like that.

Just a random person walking up like "yo could I get like ten dollars?" is gonna be a no from me, though.

Believable enough for me when the guy's literally sitting in his car at the gas pump and puts the gas in before I drive off.

while some may use the money for gas, more often its a scam
