Every time I've gone somewhere and needed a connect, I just put on my most Louisiana faux thug voice and vernacular and I get served....I've only had my money taken once, and that was a "friend"....So far, strangers are always kinda cool.
But I understand how things can be different for women....The kid's mother was in ATL a couple of weeks ago and texted me about not having any weed....I told her I still had some connects on FB but she got scared and just decided not to meet my homeboy.
