I'd Ask if They'd Buy Me a Plane Ticket, and Somebody Always Would...

That was for years, more than a decade IIRC.

And he couldn't go home cuz they would have killed him.

You don't even need that, if you hang out long enough and ask a thousand people I'm sure you'll find one eventually.
Especially if you're white.
I guess I'm always a pessimist. I just can't see myself asking a thousand people and getting someone to buy me a ticket. I just think some people are more pursuasive than others. I just lack the social skills.
It's like these poly posters who tell me to ask a thousand girls to have sex. I just can't see one of them saying yes.
Just remember, their eyes and face and frantic struggles and kicking and screaming for "Help!!" may say No, but their hearts are saying Yes.
Dis, you seem like a reasonably intelligent man. I'm assuming you're not a grotesque, hunchbacked freak with weeping sores. Even if you don't look like Brad Pitt, you're probably at least average looking. If you asked a thousand women to have sex, several of them would comply. If you ask a hundred, odds are you'll get laid.
You never know if a woman just happens to think you're gorgeous (yes, it even happens that average-looking people find those who think they're very attractive), is intrigued or turned on by the forwardness of such a request, just happens to be feeling horny and kinky and is receptive to such a request, just broke up with her boyfriend and needs some sex or validation... there are numerous reasons why a woman would say yes.
Similarly, there are numerous reasons why someone would buy a plane ticket for a total stranger.

hmm yes, perhaps a topic for another thread. I don't want to threadjack anymore.
the original topic is far more interesting. I would love to travel around the world for free. But there are a great many things I would not want to do for money. Begging is one of them. And as I said, some people are just more pursuasive than others. I've enountered people that provide pretty good arguments for asking me to give them a ride (though I always say no- only once have I given some people a ride). I'm just not one of those people. I prefer to avoid talking to people, unles they are friends or whatever. Strangers bother me. I'd rather work an 8 hour day to afford money to travel somewhere.
